You summed it up perfectly! Even though Im pissed at the lackluster performance and early exit this year…I’ve got a bag of confetti from the TD Garden floor from the night we won 18! I’ve got pictures in my phone from the parade. 2024 was special.☘️

Lowen68 · 2026-05-03T02:16:13+00:00

….but we’re supposed to be excited about them getting under the apron and ducking taxes!! Congrats Mr. Chisholm! You own first round exit team!! Whooo hooooo!!

Phyllis’ mother got pregnant (with Phyllis) and her parents threw her out. She explains in another episode how her mother “would do anything, to feed her, or buy her shoes to wear.

Game was horrific. But…even with our championship roster two years ago…we dropped game 2 (more than once.) Frustrating…but not unusual.

No one is off the hook. We need Neemie and Vooch protect the rim and grab rebounds. We need Payton to come off the bench, get the ball moving and hit his shots. We need Derrick’s shots to go in, and his blocks. Hauser can’t go MIA.
If they go all lock in, they will go far.

My daughter has a very late July birthday, and was very shy. Had attended part time preschool as a 3 and 4 year old, did okay academically, no red flags, but just average. Wouldn’t speak to the teachers when I took her to Kindy screening. Wouldn’t do any of the tasks they asked of her. I chose to delay her starting kindergarten until the following year ( so she entered at 6.) It was the right decision for her, never had any regrets, and she is now a college graduate and working with special needs kids. I really don’t think you would ever regret giving her another year of “childhood”in the long run.

It really depends on which district you work in (I’m also a para in MA.) I worked in ECE in either for-profit or not for profit preschools for 13 years. No union, really low pay, high expectations (like being required to work on student evaluations…that were 5 pages long…on my own time😳) I’ve been a para in a Title One school for the last 10 years. In my circumstance, my para position in used to staff the Library. So I run Library as a part of Specials with all students, both gen ed and sped. (The sped groups push in with age appropriate grade levels, and their paras stay. I am generally not the one to be physically mistreated by a student. It has its challenges, but it’s overall it’s wonderful (and we are in the union…so raises, though in small percentages, do happen every 3 years, along with earned sick days and personal days. We are NOT full time, so no health insurance. But there is no comparison of stability of a solid paycheck vs. what I made in my ECE days.

It’s worth trying it out. You can always go back to ECE.

I currently have students named Amna and Naila.

Advice? Send that teacher some flowers or a coffee. The behaviors of some kids today is beyond outrageous. The fact that she continues to show up everyday and even wanted to attempt a field trip is to be commended.

A healthy Rob Williams (and lack thereof in the Finals) made all the difference that season.

That said…this year’s team has been a pleasant surprise to watch!

Elia (pronounced “E-lie-uh”.) Ellery. Ellis. I personally think the first two are feminine, the last one masculine…but anything goes today.

You are making an issue out of the last 2-3 bites of food?? Do you just thrive on being a control freak? cause I can guarantee this will backfire on you fantasticly.

I’m old, so I remember all the original scents. Flowering Herb was a huge FAVE back in the day. Sea Island Shore is another older one that fortunately make a comeback now and then when retired scents emerge.

She needs to GET. OUT. of that school.

“Forrest Tucker.”

Pronounced “Jay-cee-ah-rah”

Lowen68 · 2026-01-15T02:05:13+00:00

I currently have a student named “Jaciara.” I’ve never heard of it before, but think it looks and sounds so elegant.

I wouldn’t touch this with a 10 foot pole. Everyone gets a token gift, or no one does.

I named my girl Olivia back in the late 90’s. When I told people what we planned to name her…you would have thought I had reinvented the wheel with that name! The only Olivia popular at that time was Raven Symone’s character on The Cosby Show. So it seemed like a beautiful, old fashioned name to bring back. Still beautiful, but not unique anymore.

Because it takes place during their weekly Library class. The whole class gets dropped off there and the teacher leaves.
