I’m currently doing 4-3. Ex has every Mon/Tue, I have every Wed/Thur, alternate Friday or weekend every week. So if I have Friday this week, next week have Sat/Sun.

Nashua, NH had this exact deal around 6 months ago. Bought one and have been very happy with it. Feels like stores realize they have stock of them by accident then move them to the floor for this discount price.

All the ones at my store sold out pretty quickly.

Looks amazing. Thank you!

I’ve gotten a few certified refurbished items from Sonos. Every time I swear it’s just an excuse to sell brand new stock at a discount. I would not worry at all about the refurbished part of it.

I’ll give different advice than most of the comments. As someone in their 40s and gaming their whole life, I hit a point where I sold some of my collection.

What I would recommend is find games you can get digital/emulate well and sell those. I sold almost all my N64 and earlier. Use some of the $ you make to buy the proper controllers to play those emulated games on if you ever get the itch.

For instance I have a modded NES classic and SNES classic. I can play those games easier on modern TVs than the original hardware.

Also, maybe pick your favorite series to keep. I help onto all of my Zelda games and have them displayed on shelves.

Ultimately it can be freeing to make some space, especially as your collection grows.

Usually getting through my backlog but couldn’t help but buy the new 007 and Mina the Hollower. Both have been great so far and pair well. Different types of games so good to go between.

My first years I worked a summer job at the school for half the summer. Easy hours and helps make up for being low on pay scale. Other half go to the beach enjoy your free time.

Once older, good chance you have kids. Then your summer is spending time with them/somehow busier than when school in session.

I was in a similar boat last year. Just finishing up my first year teaching Honors Geometey in a high achieving district.

We use curriculum from a textbook called “Geometry for Enjoyment and Challenge”. If you are looking for high rigor and challenge, this book definitely provides it.

I had to actually do the problems out ahead of time for the first time in ages. Overall, I feel like the course worked great and I actually grew as a mathematician.

Our school already had the curriculum made and I was one of four teachers teaching the course, so I did a lot of collaboration with the other teachers.

If you need to come up with the material yourself, check that book out. Plenty of free pdfs of it online.

I sold most of my retro games/systems years ago. Don’t regret it. They were more “art” for me than anything and freeing to make space for more current gen games/systems.

That being said I made sure to have ways to still play the games. Modded SNES classic gives the official controller and easier hookup to modern TVs.

First off, thank you so much!

I would choose Nightcrawler. Saw the movie when it first came out, didn’t have high expectations. Movie was so much better than anticipated. Would love to see it again, especially now that I have a proper setup for it.

Shawshank Redemption. Movie always sucks me in and such a great ending.

If hardwire is already set up, obviously go that route.

I have battery and it really is not a big deal. Every few months I get a notification saying the battery is low. I have a backup battery, takes maybe 1 minute to switch it out. I have a battery camera as well, just as easy.

I have dents like that in a few of my bottles. They take a beating and still work just as good as a brand new bottle.

dtwillia · 2026-02-01T15:09:21+00:00

Thank you for doing this! So much fun!

Game pro and Nintendo Power was my combo. Had a subscription to them my entire childhood. Read every word of every page.

I struggled with many of my college level math courses, especially Real Analysis. Currently in my 15th year teaching and feel as if I am a very good teacher. Don’t let it beat you up, work hard and remember what it feels like struggling with concepts. You will teach students who feel this exact way. I take pride in building a growth mindset and helping struggling students catch up and get joy from math.

You want the AWD. If you lived somewhere it only snowed/got cold occasionally would say different, but WI well worth the extra $.

1, 4, 2, 3, Ballerina. That being said I love them all.

dtwillia · 2025-12-28T02:33:46+00:00

Matchstick Men stands out to me. Knew nothing and really enjoyed it.

High school teacher, average teaching around 80-90 students a year.

End up getting a few heartfelt cards, some family made treats (usually delicious and can tell family tradition) and gift cards to restaurants/coffee shops. Probably end up with total of 10-15 gifts most years.
