My district added minutes on to the start of every school day, so if we get snow days now we don't have to worry about making them up. So it is nice if we have snow days, but despite being in northern Wisconsin we only had one snow day last year (and it was for extreme cold) and one day we had a two hour delay. What state are you in that you have to worry about snow days?

That is a great idea. I am from New York(Not the City). I am from Ithaca. We do get snow here. I teach High School and we start so damn early already I don't know if they would be able to add on minutes to the start of the day.

They look yummy. I recently had the avocado margarita in La Cava at Mexico and it was lovely. I wish I had any of these right now.

I have had that one once and it was very good.

Our high school starts at 8:05 and the middle schoolers have breakfast from 8:05 to 8:15, but since that is a school breakfast it counts as minutes in the school day. I think the elementary does the same as our middle school. The middle school and high school are connected, we are a small rural school, so that is why I teach 7-9th graders.

You have had more than your share of bad luck. I hope it's better.

well, thank god nothing that cant be recovered.
I just seen my huge credit card bill and paid bits there and here. I will survive I swear!

anyway I think I definitively busted one of the tendons that keeps the rotula (aka kneecap) aligned.
It hurts kinda bad when I stretch my leg completely and pull my knee backwards.
I think I pulled my bag too much sideways and that damaged my ligaments. Well see.. going to tell my doctor and see what goes.

Ok, I'm starting to get evil looks from the dog....time to take her outside to the hammock. I don't know what this girl is going to do when I go back to work..

 

[Cesar R M]

That's so funny. I feel lucky when I go the better bathrooms. I've never picked out my own stall. Maybe you could get a fast pass for it!

dont give them ideas. I can imagine them asking to "prepay" deluxe bathroom access.

 

[Cesar R M]

Good grief.
I'm now 94 pages behind on this thread...!
If I can't get ketched up this weekend, I may have to finally abandon the attempt...

In the meantime, diving back in for more ketchup...

thats a lot of ketchup !
both the pic and the number of pages.

Our High School starts at 7:30 in home room.

psst.....rant

Why do so many adults of my generation (and younger too) have such issues with Millennials? To what end is the need to create a one size fits all negative stereotype for our future leaders? What is it about these particular aging adults that constantly sound off about the Millennials yet cannot differentiate between The Millennials and Generation Z?

I so wanted to post a response to the twit that just was coming down on the Millennials again. Then I realized He was actually a Millennial and was actually spouting off about the Generation Z. *The moment I realized it was likely above his comprehension level*

Generation Name, Births Start & Births End-General guidelines
Baby Boomer Generation 1945 1964
Generation X 1961 1981
Generation Y - The Millennial - Gen Next 1975 1995
Generation Z 1995 2015

I like jeans as well, but I also love wearing shorts as well.

At 68 my gams are shot!

 

[betty rose]

And i thought it was swimwear all the way for you

Only if everyone wants to faint, from the exposure of these old legs! I'm hoping they will look at your halo instead!

 

[betty rose]

This made me smile!!

Thanks.

Our High School starts at 7:30 in home room.

Our High School and Middle School discontinued Homeroom at least 15 years ago. Added up the minutes of homeroom and additional passing time and deemed it a waste of time each week, month, year when totalled up. Attendance is submitted in Middle School by the end of the 1st period, in High School attendance is taken at the beginning of 2nd period to allow for late buses etc. Announcements in both schools are during the last few minutes of the last period.

I would say I'm a Disney fan, not fanatic. Maybe in 2020 I'll feel that way again. Too many decisions over the past year just have me shaking my head.

I agree, but when I get to Disney....I forget all those things....or maybe it's just old age!

The February week around Presidents Day pulls crowds to WDW.

True, we never go at that time. Just before ...Late Jan. early Feb.

I used Homeroom to do homework. Then I had some of the evenings without spending time on doing that. It worked well for me. What do kids now do in homeroom?

 

[betty rose]

I think you might be a little confused today Mr. Ferret!

He needs his meds.

 

[betty rose]

What is the flavor? Any picture of it? We like pictures around here.

It has orange in it!

And that is why we don't have homeroom anymore, lacked a good purpose vs classroom time.

Thats something I really hated when I was forced into a "christian summer course" when I was young.
They were all "accept all we say and suck it up, no question" type behavior.
No surprise our cardinals are filthy rich by dumb people not questioning anything.

I attended a new church, won't say denomination, we were told we had to evangelize our neighborhood. I said no way, I'm not a bully, and was told to leave. Not a fan of intolerant people.
