The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

[SteveBrickNJ]

My husband told me to stop months ago but out of guilt I continued. Felt bad for leaving the kids. Then I ended up with a few regulars and they are nearly out of the highest level I teach. So I would no longer see them after they moved on anyway. That is my rationalizing missing the two kids I have known for 3 years. Wish I could share emails or instagram but I am sure it isn’t allowed.

I totally understand.
My education story is from last night. My favorite student's mom asked me if her daughter could miss her last virtual lesson of the year...that lesson is today @ 2:35pm.
I responded that she COULD miss it, but that I'm sure she would want the closure of having a chance to say good bye to me.
Sure enough, ten minutes later the mom emailed back to me that when she confessed to her daughter that she attempted to cancel her last band lesson of the year...well her daughter became "VERY upset". The mom used capital letters like that. The mom withdrew her request and the 2:35pm Google Meet will take place as scheduled. That made me feel great that my favorite student also thinks highly of me.
Some kids are just special to you and I.
It's hard to face when we have to "let them go".

Are you sure you don't have a fever? Can we switch weather??

Please and thank you

Just don't get Moderna. My James wants a pet racoon since getting his. I blame the ferret

Did he react to Moderna? DD had Pfizer, and after second one was pretty miserable, so I am not sure that would have been better for him.

Now maybe. Not overnight. Up to 73 here now. May take off my sweatshirt.

My fleece is staying on for another hour or 2

We were joking. James had an increased appetite as the only side effect. He want to bring the racoons in every year when the babies show up

INCREASED APPETITE

INCREASED APPETITE

It lasted for a few days after both shots and it seems to have hit again with the end of the school year

I just triple checked my calendar, it's June 17th and I just turned my heat on. Last night was horrible. I kept waking up and getting an extra blanket. I woke up with 6 blankets and no sleep. I hope shivering counts s exercise. Send heat and hot coffee. Come here little groundhog

It has been nice here, with my windows open. Woke up to 55, but should be past 90 by the time sunset comes. Heat should be back by tomorrow. Speaking of heat, I have to call my Dad. They hit 123 degree heat, yesterday, in the desert. DS is heading to Denver in September. Denver hit 101.

When you give someone two choices and they reply with thank you.

Growing spurt!! At this rate, he will about 8 foot tall!

I won't mind if he grows a few more inches but his feet had better be done growing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wrangler-Rick]

wow, 6 blankets! You need an electric blanket. I love mine....in the winter.

And up by you that’s about 8 months of the year!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

And up by you that’s about 8 months of the year!

HaHa! Actually, I took the blanket off at the end of April this year, only 5 months! We had a rather long below zero cold spell and I didn't turn it on once, but when it got over 0 again and there was more moisture in the air that's when I felt more chilled and cranked up the blanket.

 

[Goofyernmost]

Ah, but I think you are mixing up the different camps. I think most of us are pretty consistent about which we prefer. I'd prefer the snow over the heat, because I can do something about the cold...blankets, sweaters, cocoa, etc. Without AC it's hard to combat the heat, and especially at work where I am also doing physical labor in that heat with no AC. Those who threaten the ground hogs because of the cold generally welcome the heat. Yes, there's always someone complaining about the weather, but usually not the same people!

So you're not anti heat, you are anti no AC. I got to agree there.

They had a show on the lake when we were there a few years back. Of course it was Lego characters on water skis.

That's OK as long as there was a show. It must be harder to ski in costume so I'm more impressed.

Any character in costume I have to admire. I understand in WDW they work 30 min on, 30 min off. I think the 30 min off is in the ice cold AC to cool down.

77 for me!

You musta’ needed 2 parkas...!!!!!

Good point -- although it's the same cup of coffee that I've had on the desk since 5:30 AM today! (So it was actually cold.)

Cold...?!?!?!
I woulda’ figured you for someone that drinks iced coffee, exclusively...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Reminds me of “A Christmas Story”...!!!!!
