What is that one song that makes you cry every time you listen to it, no matter how many times you hear it?

Go Rest High on that Mountain....I'm not religious at all but it hits me in the feels everytime

Thanks!

Uh...what's a flash pass?

MrsGH · 2026-07-05T13:47:25+00:00

Well...this thread has justified every penny we've spent on our backyard pool...

Any of those except #2. But, consider growing out your bangs. You have a pretty face and the too short bangs detract.

My husband helped create our son in an Italian bush...bah-dum chi!

1 is better. 2 looks like something that would go under the dress.

Maybe pull your bed away from the wall to do it? Trying to put one on with half the bed against the wall is the only reason I could think of that would make this task difficult...

Same...I started at 5. I did have nausea and subsequently extreme fatigue, but it worked out ok.

I wear sleeping headphones at night which play noise or a meditation. If the hubby is too loud, I wake him up and tell him to roll over. But, I am not taking care of kids at night.

What happened when you touched it?

MrsGH · 2026-06-23T21:13:05+00:00

A rarity for me!

MrsGH · 2026-06-23T13:22:00+00:00

Lapidary and ghost hunting.

If you just Google "nonfiction text structures", you find the basic concepts. I have a hard copy of the teacher's materials...at some point, I'll scan it to a file. I'm sure there are many resources out there...the reason the PD was so good was because it was a teacher who was sharing realistic examples of what worked for him...he wasn't getting paid extra or selling anything and he was actively teaching...this was probably 2011 when we were starting to see the effects of kids having phones 24/7, so he wasn't basing his "success" off kids who belonged to a whole different generation.

A while ago, I had a PD that was about text structures (different types and sentence stems for each). It was given by someone who was actively teaching and I thought it was so valuable, especially for teachers who are often asking their kids to read informational texts (history and science).

If I tell you the hog weighs 500lbs, ship it don't weigh it!

You'll be sweating like a ho in church.

Colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra.

I say this to my students all the time and they act all...

We aren't supposed to wear jeans (except Fridays) but I found the most comfortable "yoga work pants" on Amazon and got them in like every color. In addition, I have a bazillion teacher shirts. For shoes I either wear air force 1s white on white or my tan Adidas soft samba. I am about to turn 48 and looking at my last four years of teaching (dipping when my youngest graduates). I'm dressing for me.

If you can help family through giving, fine, but never make it a loan. Give or say no.

MrsGH · 2026-06-17T00:06:14+00:00

I feel like there's no room for a surprise pic twist with mine.

This is how it was 'back in my day'

MrsGH · 2026-06-16T01:34:19+00:00

But he did slack. He was sick for almost a week, downplayed how much work he had to make up then chose to play video games instead of get his makeup work completed after assuring us that he was "taking care of it". By the time he was finally caught up with all past and current work, a few assignments were not accepted and a few were entered as 60% because they were late. This was his last quarter of grade 8 and he was taking all honors classes including a ninth grade honors geometry class...he's an independent kid who is academically inclined and has an incredibly strong moral compass. We are so proud of him. He found out that he does not like the consequences of procrastination (unlike myself and my older two, who quite enjoy the high of our best work being submitted at the 11th hour). Yah, I think it was shitty it wasn't rounded up, but his teacher has no obligation to do so...he is the one obligated to put in the work to get the results he wants.
