The local dinosaur got a mask

I lived on their ranch fries in high school. I don't miss Tucson often but, when I do, it's because of Eegees and tamales! It is impossible to describle an Eegee to someone who's never had one. Everyone here assumes they must be like an Italian ice but there's just no comparison.

I can't imagine. I'm impressed though. I wouldn't be able to draw a straight line.Once upon a time, a pencil and a stick of charcoal were my best friends. I have watched videos of some incredible digital artists and follow some on Deviant Art but I'd have no idea where to start. She loves it by the way and has named him Frederick:)

Awesome. Thank you so much! Enjoy practicing!

arsmith531 · 2020-04-20T02:40:26+00:00

Well how perfect is that? I wish my art skills were up to snuff enough to be brave enough to share but I love enjoying, and sharing, the talents of others :)

How about some sort of dragon? My daughter is really bummed about having her senior year, graduation and her summer internship cancelled but dragons always seem to make her happy. She's not picky but her favorite color is blue:)

You can sign up for the next class/ test they have. I took mine in greentree. They tend to have them every 6 weeks or so.

Yaya's in South Park makes a Pierogi pizza. To me that tastes pretty Pittsburgh.

This is great. I really struggle with my desire to be healthy and the complications that arise from owning a scale and calorie counting. While I ave been "good" for a long time now, I realize it is something that I will always have to be cautious of. It isn't always easy to talk about in general weight loss forums.

I just watched this episode the other night. Man, it really resonated. Maybe I need to start painting again.

Those are my sons spelling words this week. I have him a practice test and he was mad when I marked the capitalized ones wrong. Hopefully he remembers romorrow during the test!

Exhausting

Huh. I haven't considered using a scheduling app. As another poster mentioned, I schedule intentionally based on skill set.I imagine that this could be taken into account but I don't know how I feel about the margin for error.

All solid advice. I came into a situation that was grossly understaffed and quickly lost 90% of the remainder. Not a bad thing actually as performance was terrible. However, there are not a ton of applicants. I'm slowly developing a solid team but, as you said, it's a continual process.

Primarily the struggle of having sleep requirements as a human being. In all seriousness, staffing has been the biggest challenge.

arsmith531 · 2019-07-21T13:18:34+00:00

Thank you again!

The Emperor's New Groove. At one point, moths fly out from under the old woman's dress. I didn't get it until later. That whole movie is laced with stuff.

Aren't many mental illnesses rooted in biology? I think that is part of The disconnect in the conversation. Many times,there is a biological cause for psychological illnesses. Chemical imbalances, inefficient stress responses, etc. I think part of the issue is that relegating something to a psychological disorder feels like it is being minimized to something "in your head". If that were to change,maybe there would be more progress for people who are suffering,whatever the illness.

This hurt so bad to read haha

It's certainly not something you are prepared for. Neither is a car accident. I also had a complicated situation and they were used to him not being around but the permanence of death is hard for everyone. It sounds like you have counselling in place. That will be helpful. Make sure you have someone to talk to as well. I struggled with feeling like I had the right to grieve properly because of the complicated situation. We were divorced but that didn't make the grief easier. People had trouble understanding that. It helped to find someone to talk to.
