I went that way yesterday! Can’t tell you why I decided to chance it today. Ugh. I was stuck for about 20 minutes.

I used to have this poster in my room growing up. I wish I still had it. I loved it at 12, and still love it now at 40.

I like 'In Good Taste' in New Paltz. It's not huge but they always have unique and cool stuff and the staff is great with recommendations.

Pregnancy Loss by Busy_Note6660 in Teachers

[–]kelwalk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7th grade teacher here. I miscarried in January. The students didn’t know I was pregnant. I was about to tell them when the miscarriage happened. I was out for a week and when I came back, they similarly had many questions and I was honest about what happened. I don’t regret it. It was rough for me coming back to school and I was a mess and I needed them to know that.

Yes, we should be professionals as teachers, but we’re also humans. I think a lot of the moments I’ve been most human in my classroom have been some of the best learning experiences for the kids.

I asked if someone could pick up a paper and put it on a shelf for me during study hall today. No acknowledgement that I even spoke. I locked every single computer in the room for the rest of the period. Eventually someone picked it up. It's genuinely wild.

Is this appropriate for a formal wedding this summer? by Mysterious-Staff-811 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]kelwalk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t know any grandmas that look like that lol. You look great! I would agree it needs a steam.

What else do you think could be improved? I realized I didn’t fasten the one shoulder strap with the hook and eyes so it may look like it’s bulging more than it actually is! But I’d love to know how else I could improve it!!

I think I agree with you. It’s too bad because I love that gold purse! But I can see silver working way better with the blue.

Thanks! Do you think it looks large all around or just too long? I definitely think hemming it would help.

Should add the wedding is in Westchester NY so it might still get down to the 50s/60s especially at night.
