I don't want to go to work. My back hurts and I don't want to watch this bad show again.
Since we seem to be going with the cranky, I thought I'd let it out.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Considering my first hatchback actively tried to kill me, and my second one was an unwitting wreck magnet, I'm happy to be giving my love to sedans instead.

Aww, what a double dose of suck. My condolences, aurelia.

AAAAK! I cannot watch Oprah. What's it like? Will it be on Oprah after the show?

I say we wear our crankypants and our freak flags with pride.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm tired, right down into my bones. I can barely function, here.
I slept for about 10 hours, and still, I want more sleep. So tired.

there was a rat's ass in our backyard this morning.
She already said she has no intention of gifting so you are probably going to have to find somewhere else to offload it....
And ew gross.
Best wishes and comfort and all that kinda stuff hoped for Calli & Ouise's families.

Our wings are not tired.
You deserve a nice rest Allyson.
Laura, is your profile address good?
Yes dear.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
So, I (as part of a group, which makes everything so much more fun) am trying to work up a unit plan on the American Revolution for 7th graders, based around a chapter that was given to us. I'm actually learning a lot (the heavens preserve the Internet!), but the more I try to plan, the more things I realize I have to put in there, partly because the chapter is ridiculously simplistic (in ways I'd be wicked pleased to share, but unless someone is interested I'm gonna rein myself in). Oh, did I say simplistic? I meant simplistic and, it turns out, wrong. Just realized that it has one fact simply and blatantly incorrect. I don't know what book it's from, I just know it's what we're supposed to plan the unit around. I'm going to add stuff about "questioning the author" and some primary references which should give the right information, but I'm wondering how one would, in the case of a real lesson, address the textbook being just simply wrong.

I had one teacher who instructed us to open to page such&such, and with a black pen, go to the line where it said blablahwrongcakes AND CROSS IT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS WRONG. (Caps because he kinda yelled. He was excitable.) I don't recall any explanation being given. This was for a biology text.
