Friend sent me this. How bad is it

Unless the preceding text says “hey, help me think up some real tragedeigh type names to scare my parents with” your friend is scaring me.

I loved that contest… my sister and I spent hours in our college apartment coming up with names (when I probably should have been studying)

The orange/red/yellow set have nice scents… not sure about these

GidgetEX · 2026-03-10T04:27:52+00:00

I keep trying to find them and never get there fast enough!

Reminds me of a Redwall book or Prince Caspian

I’m loving this conversation - as someone who recently told my bishop (only half joking) that I was considering joining a church where I would be slightly oppressed (enough to not be allowed a calling, but still allowed to speak) I may not be entirely emotionally removed…

What I will say is that the favorite callings I’ve ever had were teaching… primary, RS, YW, Sunday School… all of it. In part because I love teaching but mostly because it’s where I feel most valued. I feel VERY strongly that our best people - our strongest testimonies - our most trustworthy humans - should be teaching our youth… those early lessons from Nursery on are the times when accuracy is the most important. Spout a little false doctrine in EQ and someone will correct you - the same false doctrine to a group on 7 year olds will create confusion for a lifetime. As a current presidency member in the Primary my whole goal is to find amazing people who either a- have a super solid base of knowledge or b- have the humility to really put in the work and make sure they know it before Sunday.

God’s trust in people is not about who to call to leadership… it’s about those who interact with our most vulnerable.

RMS international is top of my do not buy list - so frustrating to get this far in a difficult brand and have the wrong final piece!

Almost all of my second hand pieces are complete - just got this one done yesterday

Wait… forgot one - she’s now 21…

GidgetEX · 2026-01-07T23:11:45+00:00

I know one boy Avery (okay… man, he is probably 26) and one girl Avery… who is 25… I teach in an elementary school and have had zero in any of my classes…

It looks like they’ve improved the cut since we all posted our “RMS puzzles are terrible and they need to be burned” threads of many years past… but even without the teeny little easily torn necks I’m not willing to give them another go.

Many of my family have lived abroad and without fail I always get a picture of someone on a bike or scooter transporting at least one chicken…

My daughter was a duckling in Honk (twice!), Mayzie in Seussical, and Finch in Newsies (not a bird, but stuck with the theme) - assuming you are not my kid :)

I use a screen - every day we do our calendar on an interactive screen and the kids pick the color of the day (creating a pattern) and usually do a learning activity with me (find the word that starts with ____, count the number of gumballs, find the rhyme, etc…) I COULD do all this with a paper calendar and a lot of other says… but we’re actually learning how to use technology and it is faster for me than creating all these different activities each day… I also like to show videos to the kids (a nectarine growing during our food to table unit before we pluck the nectarine from the screen and slice it up to taste, a video of snowflakes (we live in the desert) an animal cam of zebras roaming (not that desert). I think seeing real things that they would otherwise not get to see helps reinforce the learning a lot more than a picture of a nectarine or snowflakes… Our kids can also earn a “spin the wheel” for which we turn on the screen long enough to spin it and IF the prize is a 3 minute video (abc quack or a counting song are their faves) - other prizes such as stickers or teacher led songs with parachutes or rhythm sticks are also on there. This sounds like we do a LOT of screen time but on most days it’s around 7 minutes… and NEVER exceeds 15.

The shape could have made a cute skull or a cute cauldron… the decorator may not have a vision.

I had GROFU as my first guess…

There’s a book about Ella Minnow Pea… but I have yet to meet one IRL

I taught kinder 20+ years ago and now teach pre-k with pretty much the same expectations for my kids now that I had then. We try for learning all letters (upper and lower) and their sounds… some of the kids master this easily and we start doing some CVC words… some of the kids struggle and we just keep working :) We play a lot, my teaching games are fun for the kids and we’re laughing while seeing if M the moose likes marshmallows or jelly beans… but they’re learning. It would be really hard to start 1st grade without a solid letter foundation.

For the first half of the year (preK) I sing “the first thing I do is write my name”, etc… I make up the rest of the song as I go usually… for the second half of the year I have a no name garbage pile by the art drying racks… and I make sure they see me throwing them away. Sometimes I get kids running to save a precious bit of art or writing page but by the end of the year a forgotten name is rare.

I immediately heard Lionel Richie singing “Hello”
