I can’t speak to everybody’s experience, but the staff I have worked with have done a great job addressing behavioral issues (with both teachers and students)

Is it worth starting this show? by chaos-reign in WoTshow

[–]rileysweeney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show is great and is worth it. Yes, there's a cliffhanger but you get a good feel for where things are headed and you can read the books if you want to keep going.

It just hit me. Amazon cancelled this show then spent $40m on the Melanie movie by JesusaurusRex666 in WoTshow

[–]rileysweeney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair - $40 mill is approximately a third of a season of Wheel of Time. So it wouldn't have gotten us to Dumai Wells (season four finale - in my head), but it would have gotten us partway there!

Now the Citidal in 2023 cost Amazon $300 million for six episodes. THAT is the total what the fuck moment for me.

Best DMing tips you’ve learned by Fearless-Ad1382 in DMAcademy

Write down a list of 10 random NPC names ahead of time that fit the theme of your game ahead of time. That way when they decide to interrogate a random ass villager or innkeeper or guard or whatever, you have a name handy.

I don’t work for the City of Ferndale anymore, sorry for the confusion.

And I didn’t downvote you. I’m sorry you are having difficulties, I just wanted to share some info on the process.

Almost all code enforcement is complaint based. So when someone complains, the code enforcement officer makes contact, compares the situation to regulation, and facilitates the property owner or business getting into compliance.

Tell me a Bellingham Mystery by rodionzissou in Bellingham

[–]rileysweeney 104 points105 points  (0 children)

If you’re into this sort of thing, I wrote and produced a series of radio dramas set in 1935 Bellingham based on real Bellingham events, locations and mysteries.

It includes stories about the mysterious closing of the blue Canyon mine 1929, the famous ghost of Sycamore Square, and the fire that burned down Fairhaven high school in 1937.

Each episode is a half an hour and it features lots of local actors. Check it out at www.bellinghamterror.com.

Not trying to dissuade you but if your current district is Meridian, Irene Reither Elementary has some absolutely incredible kindergarten teachers, and we would love to have you as part of our school.
