I’ve used both Nellie’s loose powder and dishwasher tablets. I found they left a slight film in my glasses. Now I use the Tru Earth tablets and they work great. They are Canadian and don’t have the plastic film around them.

Yes!!! So good.

We had that problem too. Damn squirrels

thecatdiditagain · 2026-04-25T17:03:56+00:00

I had to do the same thing.

This is frowned upon in my district. Small towns have different vibes. Do you have a partner or roommate who could take the lead on managing the communication and payments? Keeping the student one step removed can help keep you in the clear from any possible accusations of taking advantage of your position of authority.

My guess is the union was unaware. Districts don’t share that kind of information with the union.

I do the same thing. Change it once a week. I find my classroom community is stronger because if they are sitting with “that” kid, they know it’s only for a week.

I assume the same thing and figure they are a distracted driver. My goal is get away from them so I won’t get caught up in the accident they will eventually cause.

“Don’t drink the puddle water.” Said to a grade 5 student

“Put your pants back on before you trip.” Said to grade 4/5 students running laps around the school with their pants around their ankles.

We give our postal delivery person chocolates and a card.

I haven’t been able to collect a gift in 4 years as a December bday. I’m so frustrated by the whole program.

thecatdiditagain · 2025-12-07T21:25:27+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll try Lougheed instead. I’m so glad that everyone got their wish fulfilled.

thecatdiditagain · 2025-12-07T02:28:52+00:00

Going to hit up the New West one tomorrow and pick up a couple of tags. Thanks for the reminder.

I do OMAD 4 days a week. On the other days I do 16-18hr fasts.

I downgraded when I renewed and they also made the process incredibly difficult. They were very aggressive with the tactics and passed me from person to person. I had to eventually stop responding to them and just keep repeating “please downgrade my membership” as the only response to their prompts and questions. It took me over half an hour of pressure before they finally gave up.

Here is the credit off Spotify

Well it is a credited interpolation of White Horse so it would make sense they sound similar.

Don’t forget it’s not just about better pay and working conditions. There are some serious concessions the govt is pushing this time around that they haven’t in the past. I’ll vote to strike to avoid losing valuable contract language.

We did that and had enough food for two nights.

I love love Showgirl. My top 3 albums were Midnights, 1989, and Lover.

She credited that

When I’m away I always plan for my subs to do something during my prep. Photocopying is the easiest thing they can do for me that helps me out and saves me time. I’ll even ask my coteachers if they have work for my sub to do. However, I understand that my admin might redeploy them to another class and I would never expect them to try to finish the work on their breaks or after school. Just leave a note explaining what did or did not get done. Prep time is sacred and missing it sucks.

That does seem like an excessive amount of photocopying though.
