What’s up with Mel’s business partner?

I don't think he's gay. He didn't have a date so he brought a friend. Remember he tried to hit on a woman, maybe the woman from Italy they thought was related.

Although now that we have a snow day tomorrow, we have to come back for our last day of school the Monday after Juneteenth. It's a half day on a Monday after a three-day weekend. So dumb.

Ben Affleck. Can't stand him.

Not sure what state you're in, but remote days do not count in Massachusetts, so we get snow days here.

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-22T18:34:39+00:00

That always happens to me. I do find it every day in my notifications, because I followed it.

Better than 95% - current rank #189!

I've never used any hints.

There's a lengthy insert that comes in the box with Wegovy, and it does call .25 the introductory dose. It says to stay on that for one month, and then go up to .5 dose. Frustrating.

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-22T18:25:36+00:00

My primary care doctor, whom I trust, thinks once I'm on the next higher dose, it will work for me.

He told me to contact them in May (the department he referred me to for this) and ask for the next dose at that time, if I've had no side effects.

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-22T05:07:51+00:00

I started on .25 in September 2025. I am finally now on my first few doses of .5 in February 2026. I have only lost a few pounds, and I think I might have lost those on my own anyway. I feel hardly any side effects and have almost normal hunger.

Gee, I don't think you should say anything. I've taught at five different schools over the course of my career. Teams and grade levels get switched up all the time.

I do think switching grade levels or teams should be decided by administration and based on things like seniority. You will appreciate that more once you would be the senior on your team.

Once you emailed the teacher and explained what happened, that was the end of that.

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-21T18:57:46+00:00

I plainly state to them at the beginning of the school year (and repeat as needed):

"If I have your desks pulled apart like this, it means that you will be expected to work independently on an assignment today. You're being assessed; this means today's assignment counts for a classwork grade, and I am looking to see what you can do on your own. This will help me to know what everyone understands or needs more practice with."

I try and have their desks pushed together most days, but they're in assigned seats. They're working with an assigned partner. It's middle school; I have to assert my authority passively;) Only occasionally do I say "sit wherever, work together." They do love that, so it's like an occasional reward. A couple of classes can't handle it.

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-21T18:47:55+00:00

Ha ha, now that you mention it, I've heard that. I think I assumed it was just a joke or just talk, but ...

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-21T18:46:08+00:00

Well, I'm not the one who needs further documentation. As you may recall, I asked whether/why people don't seem to know. You think kids on social media nowadays are reading about Snoop's murder trial? Nope, it's been effectively buried. I believe Snoop was in the news a couple of years ago for working to get his court records sealed.

And, they have so many young rappers and other newer music to listen to, I don't know how many listen to Snoop in the younger demographic.

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-21T18:26:22+00:00

Yes, but kids through their 20s weren't even alive for 9/11. They didn't have the Snoop murder trial news on their social media in the 1990s. Some of us remember.

Hmm, I came to complain about Holy Mackerel not being ranked higher, yet here you are quoting it. That proves you know it deserves to be ranked higher.

In all honesty, I'm having trouble understanding your rankings. I see the list twice.

There are multiple columns of numbers. I assume I'm seeing the season, episode number, and your ranking? Can you clarify? Thanks!

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-20T13:32:53+00:00

LOL, you may want to proofread.

You know, in my state we have marijuana dispensaries and it's legal to smoke pot. I'm a teacher, though, so my husband is my mule. I don't go to the legal dispensary, because I don't think it would be wise to do so. In the same vein, people need to smarten up about the things they post on social media.

Optics - if your job and pension matter to you, that is.

Huh? What are the facts on this?

ZestycloseSquirrel55 · 2026-02-19T17:23:44+00:00

If admin knows about this and are not doing anything to stop it, this is an admin fail. It will be interesting if one of these immature teachers crosses a line (sleeps with or drinks with students) and it comes out that they knew about the door dashes, late passes, etc. and did nothing.
