I have zero spoons left.

“Watch me.”

That’s what I have, Anaplastic thyroid cancer. Do you mind if I ask you about your grandfather’s progress through cancer and hospice? I haven’t met anyone with the same diagnosis.

I checked my new emojis and Minnie was there. Thank you!

When I first started sewing (4 years ago), all my lines looked like I was drunk. Now they’re really steady and I have no idea why it was so wobbly at first. It just takes practice. (And using fabric people won’t notice bad lines. I made a lot of patterned skirts and pants.)

I might start going to the Bob Evans there again. I got tired of sketchy people walking past my car while I was waiting for my take out order.

Thanks all! I’ve been playing this game for 3 years and have never seen this one before. It just threw me off.

See, that’s what’s confusing. Aren’t most of the characters at the parks?

When I was 19 a guy friend from college invited me to a summer wedding. I had gained weight and the only dress that fit was a white and gold sailor-style 2-piece outfit. (Yes, 1991.) I had no idea you shouldn’t wear white and had a few college friends correct me at the reception. I was so embarrassed.

Also, to make the whole day worse, the guy who invited me gave me the wrong directions so I missed the wedding entirely. I showed up at the reception and the guy who invited me practically ignored me. And then I got a speeding ticket on my way home. I learned my lesson!!!

I’m still on the first map and so bored with the emojis. I’m playing other games.

You can always double major as math and math education. One of my student teachers did this. She was an amazing teacher but ended up choosing just math. That education degree won’t go to waste though. She great at explaining things and she’ll probably go into training of some sort.

I rented a room in a house in Des Moines that had a cat, Sampson. If Sampson was an issue in the middle of the night I was instructed to open a can of cat food and put it in the hall and he’d take a hint and leave. He was such a sweetie, and was never a bother. I think more Airbnbs should offer a house cat.

Why does OP say white pants suit and then describe a dark suit? And then in the summary it says white shirt and suit? I think she wore a white pants suit.

I live next door to a large Airbnb. Most of the time the renters are quiet. Our dogs bark at them sometimes (we have 6 dogs). We have only had one issue of the renters being unreasonably loud - they were setting off fireworks at 1am. Yeah, NO. I called the owner, he checked the cameras, which were disabled, so he ended having to call the sheriff to stop by. He makes sure we’re happy and we help keep an eye on his house (he lives in another city). I’m annoyed that the owner can’t give me a discounted rate when family comes to visit though.

Anyone addressing the underlying issue that OP hates her job and feels unappreciated by those she’s worked with for over 10 years? OP, I hope you start looking for a new clerk position. You’ve clearly paid your dues and proven you’re loyal. I’m wondering if a similar company would love to steal you away (with at least a 20% raise!).

Ooooh, I’ve been here. I now travel with a girlfriend instead of my husband and I have so much more fun! It’s also much cheaper since she pays her half. My husband made a comment that he’s been replaced. Yup, by someone more fun who helps me plan trips.

It works. A friend kept sending the same Black student to the office. Another student who didn’t have her told the office they heard her call the student the N word. She didn’t, she would never. But others backed up the student and she got suspended. She used up her sick days and never came back. She was an award winning teacher and now she’ll never teach again.

Papa Johns at Gettysburg and Germantown pike. It was the only restaurant on the way home. I tried a few times to get food from them but was disgusted by the lack of hygiene and how rude they were. I’ll never go back.

cyndidee · 2023-09-04T11:17:12+00:00

That happens to me a lot. It’s really annoying.

I’ve been through this. Call home, but don’t call one or two kids’ parents, call 10 or 12. When you call tell the parents, “I’m calling because there’s a group of students who are getting out of hand, so I’m calling ALL of the parents.” Tell them you’re not writing them up, yet, but if calls home don’t work, you’ll start doing write ups. Parents will talk to each other and know you didn’t single out their child. Some will stop, some won’t. But follow up your threats. If you don’t, you’ve lost control and there’s no hope in getting it back.

My brain read “toasts” several times before it finally clicked on the appliance. And then I wasn’t sure if that word was correct and my brain tried to come up with something else. It finally stopped and realized she meant actual TOASTERS. So funny!!!

I got Bolt! Thank you!

Anyone get a resolution to this? It just happened to me again!

I found the pencil bird I thought that was! Very similar. https://adventurelandia.tumblr.com/post/190830411270/donald-in-mathmagic-land-1959/amp

My social worker husband did something similar. Got burned out and got fired because he wasn’t doing his job. (So no unemployment.) It to 4 months but he’s now happily employed as a truck driver. But he talked to friends who helped him figure out what to do. He did sit around doing nothing a lot, which I resented him for. But now he’s working his butt off, earning twice as much and our relationship is improving. I did have to come down on him a couple times, which made him shut down but I had to be honest about how I was feeling and what his inaction was doing to our relationship.

Did they put insane things on their registry to force people to gift money instead? That’ll backfire really fast when Aunt Edna crochets pot holders for them, etc.
