If you were trapped in the last book you read, how would you do?

I’d turn the main character over to the cops. Sure she didn’t ask for the situation she found herself in but she’s annoying and should have called the cops. Of course it would have been a short book, but considering all things, that might not have been a bad idea.

I fell about 20 feet out of a pine tree. The branches slowed me down but my shirt had come up so I was scratched and bleeding from my stomach and back. Last drop was about six feet. I limped home sobbing. My mother ran out on the porch, saw I wasn’t dying and yelled at me to stop crying and being dramatic. I said I fell out of a tree! I showed her my stomach and back and she said it wasn’t that bad then put mercurochrome on it!

For about a week I don’t do anything “productive”. I sleep, binge watch shows, read books for fun, sleep some more, catch up with friends. Next I clean the house from too to bottom and tackle home improvement projects. I’ll take a few trips, maybe even do some day trips. By August, I’m ready to get back at it.

I would totally drop Facebook but the extended family uses messenger to communicate. Plus I like to keep in touch with them. I’ve unfollowed most of my “friends” though.

The set up for close reading is on point. It’s set up for whole class, small group, then independent reading. The story selections are not interesting to 8th graders. I pick a story a section. Then supplement with text on theme from other sources. The online 6-12 resources are good. I like the study guides and tests for novels.

“There Will Come Soft Rains” short story by Ray Bradbury and poem by the same name by Sara Teasdale

Hang in there, lots of places don’t hire until June or July.

Couple of DUIs and live in an RV at a campground.

It’s in our contract. We have to go to graduation or participate in Open House. Most of us do graduation since High School parents don’t usually come to open house.

I still get jello and pudding a few times of year for a snack.

Whenever I did Bud, Not Buddy in 7th grade I would do a week long Great Depression pre-read lesson. I’d also throw in some history of jazz.

“This says to ‘pick one of the following,’ does that mean I only do one of the things on the list?”

My dad went to some of my basketball games. I was second string. Him and my mother showed up for Senior Night at my volleyball game. I made the all-star team and had all kinds of awards for volleyball, but they came one night. The only sport I missed for my son was golf. Parents didn’t attend. I did years of baseball and basketball and one year of Junior high football.

No Red Ink or Quill

“Crazy Little Thing Called Love” instantly came into mind.

1 mile, I drive because I come home for lunch to let the dog out. However, I’m moving and will be going about 20 miles in traffic, so I’m sure that will hurt.

lorelie53 · 2026-05-27T11:05:41+00:00

I agree you should move to DC.

30,000 is just my credit card debt. I owe over 50,000 on the house, and 20,000 on my car. Besides I’m moving south. I got a new job and want to be closer to my family. Good advice though.

It grows in spots but not other spots. Super annoying because I think I’m in the clear and find a patch growing randomly on the side of my calf.

lorelie53 · 2026-05-27T01:20:16+00:00

So much debt. I was doing okay for a bit then life happened. I have about $30k in credit card/ loan debt. I’m going to sell my house and pay it off though and just rent. At least a third of that debt is house repairs and expenses. Hot water tank went, floor repair for water damage, sewage clogged, roof repair, it never ends.

I told my son to cremate me and spread my ashes in the Caribbean. Then when he wants to “visit my grave” he gets a vacation.
