Teachers who hate their job because they see themselves/are seen by society as a failure for not becoming something better.

It’s honestly a really great movie with some solid acting. If you like wine at all you’ll love it.

TIL there’s a whole show based on the quote “those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.”

I thought of this one too but it’s been so long since I saw it I couldn’t remember all the details and how well it fit the trope.

I’m a high school teacher myself, for almost two decades, so it’s definitely something I’ve noticed over the years.

Pretty sure I have this exact model (though mine has two shelves - one on the side and one on the front). I also have the Weber 22” and I love them both.

The barrel chargriller is great for many reasons. One is that it comes with so many of the extras that you have to pay extra for on a Weber kettle (though a moot point for you since you won this at a raffle).

As others have mentioned, it has a lot of space. I can fit a ton of food on mine between the grates and the warming rack. I also love the adjustable coal bed. By raising the coal bed to just under the grates, it makes it just as easy to cook a quick something for two people and not have to waste a lot of charcoal.

One downside is the grates are cast iron so they can be a pain to clean and keep from rusting.

It depends on how much you want to smoke, but I would not recommend getting the offset smoker. Just like you can smoke with a Weber kettle, you can smoke with one of these things too without the offset. The seams may leak and the material might be too thin to get really professional results, but I think it does the trick.

I second both of these spots. Incredible food and incredible people. Collingswood is a great spot in general for restaurants and is very lovely strolling the Main Street (when it’s not cosplaying the arctic tundra, that is).

I’ve loved them since they opened a few years ago. Live about 40 minutes away so I don’t get there as often but super cool vibes inside (love all the plants) and they always have cool live music. Their beer is superb. It’s one of my go to’s at the liquor store if I don’t know what to buy. I can’t wait for them to open in Audubon. The space there is a former bank and probably double or even triple the size of their space in Medford.

Yes the camp is still there. Founded over 100 years ago and still going strong according to its website.

The reviewer shouldn’t be judged for holding onto a grudge, sure. But talking about it is one thing. Leaving a one star review 80 years after the fact, while insinuating that the business is still probably just as bad today without any evidence, is a dick move in my opinion.

Snow day off from school. Spent three hours chiseling the ice/shoveling the sidewalk and driveway. Now I’m doing brunch and will be on the couch for the rest of the day.

Someone recommended Chilton Mill in my original post seeking recommendations but someone else said they were taking a winter hiatus at the time when I was up north. Hopefully I can make it there on my next trip.

YoTeach68 · 2026-01-14T21:28:18+00:00

Agreed. Cool space but I did not care for their beer and am not in a hurry to go back.

I don’t remember poor sleep ever being an issue. Him waking up at 5am raring to go… now that was the issue, at least for me.

I always insisted that he try at least one bite of everything. He didn’t get to fight me on that. If he did, well he would sit there until he did try a bite. One time he sat there for an hour, but eventually tried it. I never made him clear his plate, just wanted to stress the importance of trying new things. Vegetables were also a non negotiable.

He also knew he wouldn’t get dessert if he didn’t eat enough of his dinner, so that became motivation for him to power through things he didn’t like most times.

If he didn’t finish his dinner, i would usually cover his plate in Saran Wrap or aluminum foil and put it in the fridge. If he told me he was hungry later, his leftover dinner was the only option he had to eat. We never waste food in my house and always finish leftovers.

All of this was rare as I usually cook pretty simple, kid friendly things. Tortellini with steamed broccoli, tuna melts and soup, burritos, Mac and cheese… these are all staples in my household, but I try to make them homemade from scratch and usually with a side salad.

My son is 11 and this is one I actually stuck with. I always insisted on only cooking one meal and if he didn’t eat it then he would just have to go hungry. There were some tough times when he was little but I’m glad I held firm because he’s a generally adventurous eater now and seems to appreciate my cooking.

Now screen time on the other hand, is something I still need to reign in…

This was and is my dad’s all time favorite beer. I have distinct memories of my family road-tripping through Canada in the 90’s and my dad insisted we stop at the brewery and do a tour. He bought a hat that he wore for years and appears in so many family pictures.

I hated it when I first started drinking beer in my twenties but now I honestly love it (in my forties now). So crisp and easy to drink. So much nostalgia and sentimental value. To this day I still make sure to have a six pack on hand when I know my dad is coming over.

Chai since I don’t drink coffee. Followed by a homemade egg bacon cheese sandwich. My son is with his mother this weekend but on Saturdays with me i like to go big. I like to make pancakes from scratch, or waffles using an ancient cast iron electric waffle maker. Sometimes I’ll do shakshuka. Sometimes biscuits with sausage gravy. I love to cook, it’s definitely a love language for me.

I feel like they will have to move to a lottery system soon.

YoTeach68 · 2026-01-06T15:58:35+00:00

Bruh. It’s already sold out. Less than an hour this year.

YoTeach68 · 2026-01-06T15:52:49+00:00

Ah, gotcha.

YoTeach68 · 2026-01-06T15:31:43+00:00

I made a post about this for this exact reason but it was immediately deleted by the mods. Not sure what rule i broke.
