Where in the World is Bob Saget?

I don't think we ever did my first suggestion ever, which was extreme facial hair. Any takers?

As long as we all don't become Duck Dynasty!

OK so when I was at my meeting, I went to take my jacket off and when I brought my right hand down I smacked it on the top of the chair next to mine. On the metal part. The back of my hand is swollen and bruised, just below the knuckles for my pinky and ring finger. It's actually painful to type and use a mouse. Who injures themselves taking off their jacket? Seriously - who does that??!

Sounds like my DD, who broke her foot 3 times in three years and then some more so I can believe the chair story.

4th grade Tipped over going down my front staircase, her heavy backpack 23# and her 48# shifted and she tipped while off to the bus stop in 4th grade. full hard cast

5th grade she tripped over my golden retrievers paw, Boot cast.

6th grade she was at a swim meet walking towards the blocks with other swimmers at an outdoor meet. A Dad went to lightly kick a decorative rock back into landscaping that had popped out onto the sidewalk. It went awry and hit the area of the foot that had previously broke.

She skipped breaking that foot anymore until her first summer driving between her Sophomore and Junior year coming home from an early morning swim practice. She was in the Trail Blazer, stopped and halfway threw the intersection a kid blew right through the stop sign and broadsided her, slamming her foot into the side of the footwell wall of the car. Yep broke it again, only a 1/4 boot that time.

In college she slipped on ice and knew she fractured it again, just oped not to go to infirmary or hospital. She wore her Ugh's instead.

So yeah, I can believe you smooched your hand on a chair taking your coat off.

Ill be back in 30 min, wheel of torture is on.

Works for me!

Maybe it's because I'm not a Wisconsinite, but even though I grew up with Culvers, I still don't like their ice cream. Even something as generic as DQ is much better.

It's not ice cream. It's custard!

Is that just trying to bear the pain and every time she steps on that foot she exclaims "UGH"?

I had to take this weird test at school today to see how my school ranks across the world and when we were done we were rewarded with coupons . Kinda something weird to get for taking a test, but one of them is for a free scoop of ice cream at Culvers, and if you've been to Culvers you know how good their ice cream is.

It must have been the PISA test. The other one (TIMSS) is for 4th & 8th graders.

 

[PUSH]

Are these tests new? I never took either of them. I just remember taking the MAPS and the WKCE for the state.

The youngest person to ever be pregnant was 9 years old... my teacher taught us that in 6th grade. I don't know why.

Better than what our middle school Principal taught the boys group in 5th grade during the get to know your bodies chapter for science. As a board member, when the parents stormed our meeting I wanted to crawl under the desk as I was mortified.

My DS was in that 5th grade class and when he came home I asked how it went with the middle school principal. Rather proudly my DS told me what question the Principal opted to explicitly answer. I plopped, stunned into my Queen Ann chair in a cocoon. My son on the other hand was impressed with the new knowledge he had gained.

At that meeting we opted for future years to take our students on a field trip that was run by professionals in that field. No more ad-libbing by Principals. Twit.

Well they called in the OECD but had PISA in parenthesis. It was such an easy test though.

The OECD is an organization of rich industrialized countries based in Paris. They run PISA but do hundreds of other things too.

We started health class in 4th grade. Nobody really understood what was going on.

That's incredible. Does she have any pain in extreme hot/cold temps?

I took the MAPS and WKCE this year and now this thing today. Its starting to get REALLY old, REALLY fast!!!!!

Not everyone takes them (PISA and TIMSS). Just a large enough sample to make valid comparisons across countries. Individual schools or districts can probably choose to do them to make their own comparisons, but their data wouldn't go into the USA figures.

Can tell I am catching up, I was wondering if it was PISA too.

Yeah, that's what I've got a problem with. That's not custard. This is custard.

Looks like cantaloupe gone wrong

I started collecting baseball cards when I was 9. I still have them. But I don't play with them. They'd be worth a lot more now if I had never played with them. As a fourth-grader I just wasn't much into financial planning.

About 20 years ago or so, some of the cards were over inflated in value. My DH regrets not selling some of his then. He has quite the collection, cards that most his age just tossed when they they hit college. His got shoved in a dormer crawl space forgotten.

On that note, at the height of the Beanie Baby craze I sold off a few dozen Beanie Babies. My kids each got about $500. So glad I did that. I have Original Precious Moments, first editions, a boat load of those. Value high but finding a buyer another story.

I have a saved message on my phone. It's from my mom.

She called me from my brother's at about 4:30 on Saturday, November 5, 2011, asking me to call her as soon as possible. My brother ended up getting me on my cell, and I arrived at his place by 5:30.

I didn't actually get the message until some 8 hours later, after I got home from the hospital after she had passed away.

In the message, you can hear that she is in extreme pain, can barely catch her breath. This was the last phone message she ever left.

I can't bring myself to erase it, but can't bear to keep it either. Whenever I clear out a bunch of messages, I get to the bottom of the list and hear her breathless, pain-filled plea for me to call her - at least two or three times per month.

Hearing the message makes me feel bad. Would erasing it, and never hearing it again make me feel worse?

Ouch. I think I'd save the phone with the message on it and get a new phone for use forward. Boy that is a hard one to wrestle with.

Too much standardized testing, not enough learning and application. Just my opinion.
