This should be a walk in the park compared to teaching in DC.:sad2: The difference that I keep coming back to (daily) is that there's just no support. Up north, I worked for an exceedingly demanding administration but they hand your back-- personally, professionally, discipline, upset parents...

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and personal post :goodvibes I was excited to be going back to my school in DC. I had been in to school once (the week prior to packing up) and starting getting everything in order for instruction, changing things, organizing, etc. I was excited of the...

DH has told me that he wants to be cremated and have part of his ashes spread in the Haunted Mansion. He wants to be the 1000 Happy Haunt. :rotfl2: I think he's serious though...

Send it. The person had a positive impact on your life. Always better to say what you need to say than to regret not having said it. Heck, John Mayer even wrote a song about that!

My mom always told me to use the "Rule of Uncooked Meat" is that a half pound will serve about one person. I always round up and add a pound or pound and a half just in case. Like you said, send leftovers home with Dad so he can eat ;)

I teach. We try. So much of it has to come from the example at home.

I know you said you didn't want to give anyone the key, but is there a trusted friend or a family member nearby that could drop in on them even once? My concern is the water dish running out....

If a state of emergency is declared, would the $25 ticket apply? The next question then becomes, is it looking bad enough to become a state of emergency (I know that the news looks nasty....)?

I have seen uniform sections in urban Old Navy stores. You may also be able to check online at Old Navy.

I am a middle school teacher. I left my job in Washington, DC, unexpectedly at the end of the summer because DH had a job transfer to the south. I was very blessed and secured a job teaching the same subject and grade level. I know that I am a good teacher. I know my subject, I am passionate...

The bank said that they start with really small charges, usually less than $1, because it doesn't trigger anything; then they step up to under $10; and then, after a few tries, they'll go for the big one. I thought it was interesting... and reminded me that checking once or twice a week isn't...

Double post... Sorry.

Yes and I have been wondering about it since one of the very earlier posters mentioned it. The local gas station is a 7-11 in Orlando. It's really the only one convenient that's here. It's right across the street from an exceedingly secured gated community-- not a bad place to start looking to...

:rotfl:

Do you know the names of any such agencies? That's the kind of information we're trying to gather. We're concerned because the DMV asked for everything to be FAXed (Name, address, DOB, copy of Social Security card, copy of birth certificate, copy of marriage certificate, etc.) There really...

Wow. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I would hardly say that I am freaking out... upset and trying to mitigate damage before it can worsen. Chicken with my head cut off? Hardly. I haven't done anything but call to find out what was going on yesterday morning and...

Hi All, It's been one of those kinds of weeks :guilty: I found out yesterday that my credit card was jeopardized. I knew what my available credit was and went to make a purchase well under that amount. Swiped the card twice and it was declined twice. I called the card issuer and they...

Lovely weather in November. We just moved here in August and through November was perfect! We really like the Renaissance... and it was reasonably priced last Christmas (2009) to New Year's. Hopefully you will be before Thanksgiving, as it is very quiet and the park lines are practically...

I wonder if the Ripsaw Falls line was so short because the building was on fire :rolleyes:

We were there on Sunday. We live locally and I have jumped through more hoops than a circus animal to get my driver's license here. I was sooo excited. We arrived at 8:30 for the 9:00 opening. We went straight to WWoHP. Wait for FJ was 45 minutes posted, but was likely closer to an hour...
