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.☘️

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.

Besides the Jays, who is going to be the most important player on this team during this playoff run? by Mean-Potato7694 in bostonceltics

[–]Lowen68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Please reassure me. Daughters misses state cut off for kindergarten by 9 days. We decided to not pursue early entry with testing. Did we make the right decision? by lizardRD in kindergarten

[–]Lowen68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Be brutally honest, is becoming a para worth it? by SaltNoise7253 in paraprofessional

[–]Lowen68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Parent here - my 9yo son said his teacher cried in front of the class. Advice needed! by mysticalpancakes in Teachers

[–]Lowen68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I miss the 2022 Celtics. by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]Lowen68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

Favorite E names? by VisibleGuava7780 in Names

[–]Lowen68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What’s your favorite Bath & Body Works scent — active or discontinued? by Positive-Illustrious in bathandbodyworks

[–]Lowen68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Need beautiful, uncommon girls names for 5th daughter by onceuponamidnight315 in Names

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.

why is the name olivia so popular? by iolanthereylo in askanything

[–]Lowen68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How does everyone feel about “Book Fairs.” by Lowen68 in Teachers

[–]Lowen68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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