The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

[Figgy1]

Good grief, this is beyond pathetic. As I see it, this is a trend toward (some) people becoming more and more selfish. What ever happened to people being gracious about the fact that perhaps they, themselves, could not indulge in (for example) ice cream, or other foods--yet, being generous enough to be happy for others? I think the comment that disgusted me the most was when provisions were made to include some alternative foods, and yet some people felt they were being labelled 'different'? OH PLEASE . . . !!!

I wish that the picnics went on, regardless, as it sounds to me that the majority of people had no issues at all and wanted to have a good time. The problem is that the people who want to spoil everything for others are winning these types of battles, and it's infuriating. However, I figure that in our litigious society, your school system had no choice but to shut this down.

^^^^This My ds just brings in his own food when the class has a party. So do most of the other kids with allergies. Our school nurse just calls when something is scheduled so the parent can decide what to do. I guess we've learned from the districts that have cut things out not to raise a fuss about silly things.

What a breath of fresh air. Live and let live. I believe that school is a place to learn the basic subjects, but it's also a place to educate students about tolerance for others.

Actually, after postin' the above, I wonder if there would still be a market for quiet booths in places were you could go to use your cell phone...? Nobody disturbing, nobody bein' disturbed.......
Nah.

I did have a phone interview in Epcot a couple weeks ago. Near the Figment bathrooms. Got an interview from it.

I had MRI today and will get results tomorrow. I have full range of motion, it's just weightbearing that hurts. I'll be in the brace for another few weeks.

I hope the healing goes well and you can shed the brace fast.

Skip the me parent part...if our staff told us as a school board they were turning primary school children loose with a map in an amusement park..........dead meat. They do turn our middle school students loose at Six Flags. Every two hours they have a designated spot that they must meet staff and wave Hi! to make sure everyone is still accounted for. My DD was happy in high school to miss that adventure round #2 for her physics class as we were in Orlando for a school board convention. She looked at their coasters instead.

We turn the kids loose too, but also have them check in at lunch time. Everyone has always shown up too.

I've got leopard print ones with a hot pink satin bow done and if the hoards of boys don't bother me too much I'm hoping to get 2 pairs of black ones done today one with a pink with white polka dots bow and one with a red bow done. I'm also going to make one pair of Tangled themed ones done and one pair of Frozen ones done this week. I'll try and get pics up as soon as they're all done if not they'll be in my official PTR

The mouse ears sound fantastic, can't wait to see them.

Congrats and thank you for being a teacher!

Thanks.

TGIF. One more day to study all day in school. What makes it worse is it blah and rainy outside. I wish I was sleeping.

 

[Gabe1]

Yea! for no rain!

Yesterday was perfect weather. Low 80's, sunny, light breeze.

 

[Tiger Lily]

The one we belong to doesn't reopen for a couple of more weeks It's going to be near 90 tomorrow and no pool

There will be no pool for me today because it is raining and it is only in the 60's right now.

 

[Gabe1]

Now I'm Jelly.
The temps are fine here, but, the rain just keeps comin'.
Lake Travis is 110% full and the flood gates are wide open. We've got no more room for all the water...

Oy and just a few years ago the lake was way to shallow.

Psst. You can send bits of rain up this way but can you please stop sending the flooding rains? Please.

 

[Gabe1]

Woof. Sounds like y'all are in the same "boat" we are down here...

Nope! I look at Texas and we are in much better shape than you guys.

I decides to go way back to page 3756 and I really love the feedback you guys gave me during my first stay at the hospital 4 months ago. Thanks for all the love and care you guys gave me especially @MOXOMUMD @song and @figmentfan423. It was a pretty bizarre experience after learning about what was happening with my stomach. But 4 months after that event I'm feeling much better. Good thing I brought my android to the hospital since it was the only way I had a chance to contact you guys and read the feedback. This might be another good reason for why I'm a member of this site.

Awww, you're welcome.

Nah.

Well.. theres smoking booths in a lot of places.. why not?

I forgot to post this earlier....at the school I teach at the 7th graders have a probability unit in their math class and they have to develop games of chance for a carnival. One team developed a ball toss game and the balls had to be tossed through Mike Wasowzski's mouth. They did a good job with it and I was proud they picked a Disney character. If I was their math teacher it would have been an easy A. The Mike figure is below.

The shape of the mouth is going to make it very hard to get the ball in lol.

 

[Cesar R M]

Ouch.

Well, if it makes you feel better...remember my thumb injury? It was because I twisted my thumb while reaching into my purse. And I had hand surgery. Which actually that ligament has been damaged for years and likely got missed by the hand doctor I went to before the one who caught it. Evidenced by the fact that I can now play violin again post-surgery after not being able to play since freshman year of high school. But still reaching into my purse was a very stupid way to tear a ligament. And this was at the old age of 20. So...you're not alone in having stupid injuries.

I never imagined you could reach your purse with such fury and strength enough to hurt your thumb.
btw, by any chance do you dont have a lingering issue with ligaments? I mean, you seem to hurt your muscles a lot.

 

[Cesar R M]

Nope. Banned.

It actually started with a parent claiming it was unfair for her DD to have to watch other kids eat ice cream and she could not. Out went the ice cream truck. Then a family with religious thoughts on the topic of hot dogs. There were alternative foods made available to fit their diet requirements but that made them 'different.'

Thats ridiculous. So, because someone on "religious" excuses.. made everyone not get hotdogs?
You are supposed to accept religions, not to bend over them and annoy others who dont follow.

I've got bad ligaments in my ankles, which is genetic; my mom and grandfather both have the same issues. My allergist said I have to be careful because the oral steroids that I had to take as a teenager (which we had no choice on; they were because my asthma at the time was so severe) could have contributed to it, but that I also might just have bad ligaments.
