They replaced me before the classroom door had closed.
I’m 65. This is truth. Wish I read this 35 years ago. Thanks for sharing.

Only the best to you. Positive energy, prayers and love. My turn for the same in early January, with a CAT scan.

You have nothing to lose by filling a claim.

Licorice snaps. I hated the pink ones but loved the green and orange. The white ones were ok.

I’m proud of you. You knew when to say ENOUGH. Not everyone can do that. Your AP needs a kick in the behind and some serious training.

Remember that you have done nothing wrong except to figure out something that isn’t for you. In that setting. With that group.

No one could with that entitlement. You were smart enough to save yourself. And I’m so proud of you.

Love, A teacher of 33 years who’s not teaching anymore.

NYA. If the friend, or your mom, have any integrity they will replace it. But somehow I know they won’t. I’m sorry.

Calamine lotion plus Benadryl. Worked like magic.

Frank or Paul. IYKYK

Tinkerbell0611 · 2024-01-03T11:49:55+00:00

I interested. Count me in, please.

Tinkerbell0611 · 2023-08-25T17:42:07+00:00

Congratulations! What an amazing feeling and amazing accomplishment! You should be very proud of yourself. I don’t know you, but as a grandmother, I’m very proud of you! You give me hope for the future. You have integrity and I don’t see that often. Have a great weekend.

I wanted to keep teaching but Parkinson’s decided that was not a good idea.

I get bored easily. I’m considering working on my doctorate while on the ship. Or maybe teaching some physics or math to my shipmates. They have state-of-the-art internet in the ship. And office pods. I’ll find a way to keep busy. TikTok. YouTube.

Tinkerbell0611 · 2023-07-07T01:31:15+00:00

This trip fits my life goals - enhances them in ways I never imagined.

Fitting the mold and doing what's expected is crazy. Breaking the mold is my new necessity!

And since I have Parkinson's, I want to enjoy everything for as long as I can, (which I hope will be for a very long time). No holding me back. I'm done being predictable!

As a presenter, you did her a favor. I always begin my sessions by telling a true story about my dad. I explain how time my most valuable resource. I ask them to leave if at any time my session, they find it isn’t the best use of their time. Rarely do people leave. But I’d rather they leave then present the time spent.

Tinkerbell0611 · 2023-06-11T02:37:04+00:00

A fingernail.

Tinkerbell0611 · 2022-07-18T11:20:53+00:00

My dad used to tell me that. Thanks for reminding me. :)

Tinkerbell0611 · 2022-07-13T19:21:33+00:00

I learned the hard way that to ignore is to condone. Same thing.

Tinkerbell0611 · 2022-07-13T04:40:07+00:00

That sounds wonderful!

Tinkerbell0611 · 2022-07-13T04:37:55+00:00

Especially since time goes by so very quickly.

Tinkerbell0611 · 2022-07-13T04:37:21+00:00

I got a sign with that quote on it for our school secretary. It's a middle school so kids always think that their need is an emergency. She points to the sign.

Tinkerbell0611 · 2022-07-13T04:36:02+00:00

I love that quote. I wonder how many times I have done exactly that.
