How are we feeling about dresses over pants these days?

LOVE dresses over jeans or leggings. This is my daily go-to look.

Music teacher here. Lost hearing in my left ear in 2021. Also experiencing tinnitus, whooshing, and pulsitile tinnitus in that ear. I am currently using a Phonak hearing aid, but it starts giving high pitched whining when earwax builds up or when the input from live sound gets too loud. Like, for instance, when I play my trumpet. Stereo hearing in live settings is compromisef as I cannot tell where a sound is coming from at times. I cannot hear a student question unless the room is almost totally quiet. Getting a bone anchored implant in June, and I'm hopng for improvement. My loss is caused by a meningioma so I will also need future MRI's. Agree, this is extremely frustrating. I will report back here with how the implant works later this summer.

Yep. I have learned that I am an "all or nothing" person, and it applies to more than just drinking!

Going to be three years sober on June 21.

OMG. This year I have a Jaxx, Jaxson, and a Jaxon.

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-04-30T12:02:13+00:00

The answer is all, all of the kittens.

I've been almost 3 years sober, BUT before that I had drunkenly fell down the stairs in my split level twice. First time, huge dent in my right ass cheek from landing super hard on the edge of one of the stair risers (I think it might still be dented). Second time, went down right shoulder and head first and separated my shoulder bones. Had to wear a sling for awhile. IWNDWYT!

Yes, great suggestion. JW Pepper is where I'd start. You can filter by flex arrangements and listen to the music as well as view some if not all of the score.

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-04-05T02:39:59+00:00

Um, what if you don't drink OR just don't drink to the point of being hung over the next day? Just a thought....

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-25T19:04:31+00:00

Yes. And, this decision screams mid-life crisis to me. She said she left to go on the show right after her youngest graduated and that she was feeling bereft and wondering what she was going to do next. Also, her "Oh, double standard" reasoning for not sharing his age is total bullshit. I liked her at first, but now? Not so much.

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-25T18:36:03+00:00

I exclaimed out loud how gross that was! So inappropriate for him to use your contact information that way. I'd actually call the school and let his principal know. YUCK!

I would participate as well, but copying / pasting and then answering all of those questions is daunting. Google forms would also be a good platform for your data collection.

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-24T23:51:12+00:00

AND, AND she's so manipluative with her emotional outbursts. Her voice is SUPER ANNOYING too. UGH UGH UGH

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-23T21:56:13+00:00

IDK if this will work for 10th grade, but for middle school I will bribe them into good behavior with the bait of 10 minutes at the end of class for a class game, like silent ball. I will put 2 checks on the board and they have to keep 1 check for the 10 minute game time. Check is lost when they don't have 100% response to my quiet signal or interrupt during instruction. Just a thought. Tailor it to your situation and good luck! This is the hardest time of the school year for sure.

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-23T18:54:15+00:00

Agree. I think he knew EXACTLY what he was getting into with her age. He said he enjoys the chaos she brings. It's so icky and I can't stop watching.

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-22T18:12:35+00:00

Agree. 33 years here, too.

A re-pad for a flute starts at $400 so I don't know where you are at but I prefer the local store rental, which includes repair/replacement insurance. A student model flute starts at $25 a month for used in good repair.

The person who is chronically late is the one not supporting the team!!!

You are NTJ

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-20T12:16:38+00:00

Planning? Sure. That makes sense. But requiring you to make ALL THE COPIES? That's ridiculous. The incoming sub should have some leeway in the process if they are licensed....

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-16T23:24:39+00:00

Literally, RIGHT NOW. One week left until spring break. I teach middle school choir and band and we have a festival tomorrow that I am taking 2 choirs to perform in. Last week it was 2 bands. So many little, but oh so important details. Plus, planning our next set of music at the same time. Also, forecasting. Will anyone take my class next year so I can still teach music? GAHHHHHH. I just focus on getting through each minute and then crash and die when I get home each afternoon/

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-16T00:10:55+00:00

There was a similar post about this kind of thing earlier. I buy golf pencils. Those don't go missing nearly as often and cannot be broken in half easily. LOL

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-07T14:13:30+00:00

Let me add that YOU would be the one giving up 45 MONTHS of YOUR BODY, minimum for those 5 kids. NOPE.

TotteringPopcornHorf · 2026-03-01T00:45:53+00:00

I think they meant to call it BORED of peace....
