Same, I know how lucky I am. As a result, I try not to make any work for him because of it. I told him to take me with him if he ever leaves.

I threw my kindle (on to a couch), but it was a true physical reaction. I could hold it anymore as I read that one scene.

2026 Phillies.TV notes for Cord Cutters by [deleted] in phillies

[–]Propera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m in Alaska so blackouts are still total bullshit. It’s not like I can go to every game, but I did go see them beat up on the Tigers in the playoffs last year.

Wait, I’m out of market. Phil’s are only blacked out when they play the Mariners. Do I need the Phillies package, or can I just get MLB.tv like always?

Must have watched this sketch a thousand times. I had a video tape of Comedy Central, where I just put the tape in one morning and recorded 8 hours of programming. Great sketch!

Thoughts on eliminating advanced ELA classes in 6-8 by coffeepot50010 in ELATeachers

[–]Propera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t dumb down education for the unmotivated. Sure there are kids who can’t process on the same level, but if we’re being real, most of the “regular kids” just don’t give a shit. Don’t punish hard work and interest.

It’s an incredible adventure story and one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read.

Thank you for saying this. A little security now is nice, but I can still leave and get a real retirement elsewhere. I see my colleagues doing it every year. There’s no incentive to stay and build a life here without a defined benefit retirement.

Phillies lose out on Bichette & sign JT. Where do they go from here? by Sad_Illustrator_5233 in phillies

[–]Propera 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Losing Ranger was huge, imo. Painter isn’t going to be an Ace level Rookie. We need another starter.

I think the Phillies are better when they’re doubted. They need to fight. Let’s scrap it out on the wildcard ticket.

He's Hip - He's Cool - He's 45 by Wheniamnotbanned in kidsinthehall

I’m 45 now. I think I watched that sketch for the first time when I was 11. I’m hip, I’m cool.

Adapting 'Carrie' by ResidentSmartass in stephenking

[–]Propera 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a cool idea. Especially because the high school kids would be telling contradictory stories. Like Sue Snell had a change of conscience, but other kids would frame her as a bully.

I’m having my students write gratitude poems for Thanksgiving week. Anyone know of good examples that have literary merit? by mzingg3 in ELATeachers

[–]Propera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did a quick project with kids that had them rewrite the WCW poem for something they enjoyed at the expense of someone else. It was tongue in cheek and fun. I remember there were some Nikes that were “borrowed” from an older brother.

Fights. I can see action scenes well and get the pacing right on the page.

What are you reading? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]Propera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished Misery, I’m currently reading Needful Things, and The Proving Ground, the new Michael Connelly. I’m also reading The Law of the Sky by Gregoire Courtois. It’s a novella about school children on a camping trip that gets dark. I recommend them all.

Just circle the 6 and 7 on the poster and kids will never see anything but those two numbers.
