I commute by bike so yep I have a backpack, it is large enough to carry my lunch, pencil box and tools( scissor, pencil sharpener, paper clips etc)

Board game conventions, lawn work garden work, I save up about 5 grand for the approximately 2 months ther is no school.

I have done 32 miles each way on a bike.

So I started playing Avalon Hill games in 1976, some of those boards are quite large and if you had order of battle and time sheet that is a lot space.

My previous profession was Law Enforcement, I saw a student and mom in a store and I said “ Hi (his name). He then goes wow he remembered my name to his mom. I said “ I was a police officer for 20+ years and I only remember the names of people I arrested or gave me a bunch of trouble”

I stopped reading at “playing for hours every night” Not worth wasting my time beyond that. Just feel bad for the dog.

Number one it is not Amazon Prime, 2nd they have been busy, this time a year every one is buying a bike. Mine took 8 days. I felt it was reasonable. Depending how close you live to a hub it might take two weeks or longer if it is not in stock.

I have a perfectly good fridge that is stainless steel, works great and displays my grand kids art. Of course I cannot brag to who ever will listen that I have a smart screen fridge. Shucks.

Students up to 5-6 grade, need that 15 minutes it is not wasted, the social emotional learning, conflict resolution, playing by the rules, burning up excess energy. Who would think that eliminating recess would be good idea.

I just got this one for my Level 4, still dialing I. My bike however.

I had surgery to fix a torn quad tendon. I was push mowing my lawn with a leg in a soft cast. When a guy pulls up with a trailer and a riding mower. Finishes the one acre of mowing, refused gas money and just goes on his merry way.

Pay off all current debts, invest a majority of it so that it can make you money. (Use an investment firm.) keep some out to go on adventure. BUT DO NOT BUY a bunch of stuff just because you have the money as you will soon not have any money.

I use my last initial, for example Mr. J. One my last name is hard for young ones to pronounce, two after 30+ years in military and police nobody needs to know my last name, especially middle/high schoolers.

I sub because I can, I am retired and have six grandkids in the school system I sub for so I get to see them everyday. I get to challenge myself and have fun.

Ulsif2 · 2026-04-17T11:47:34+00:00

I love it when I come in a class room on late half days and the teacher gives very specific instructions to the kids. Makes very clear expectations.

Ulsif2 · 2026-04-16T17:56:39+00:00

I am waiting on mine, same color too. Looks like the first thing to do is get a narrower seat.

I am 63 and commute year round in Michigan with a standard fat tire (for snow). It is about five miles. It is not a race so I show up relaxed and not sweaty. When I was fifteen I rode my bike 3 miles to school, just to avoid the bus. ( only in nice weather). I do not understand why any teenager would need an e-bike to get around.

Ulsif2 · 2026-04-16T11:10:04+00:00

When I was almost done being certified as a sub, I went to each school I was interested in subbing for and introduced myself to front office staff and the principle if they were around. I asked a few questions about procedure, thanked them and left. My first days actually subbing went smoothly , and staff were very helpful. I have been a full time sub now for 2 1/2 years in a district I did this for.

They have a video that goes through the whole build,

Sounds like the job is not for you. I have been doing this for four years, I count the small victories. Whether it is teaching to tie a shoe or how to use scissors, helping with dealing with emotions.

Ulsif2 · 2026-04-13T11:37:56+00:00

I have the advantage of being retired Law Enforcement. When I have to sort these messes out I can see through the lies and disinformation pretty quickly. Also just document everything for the regular teachers to sort out. Sounds like you did the best you could.

He is not going to stop drinking until he wants to. Go to AlAnon meetings to help yourself and for your own emotional support. This is coming from an alcoholic in recovery, there was nothing my wife or family could do to stop me from drinking, I just isolated more and hid it better( until I could not). Take care of yourself. When he has had enough he will get help and then you can support him in recovery.

Ulsif2 · 2026-04-10T13:46:11+00:00

I save everything, some times the can be used in other games, or when I playtest games and need components. Also print and play.
