I'm thinking a costume-sized amount of tinfoil might cost as much as the burrito.
It says you can dress as a burrito OR a taco, or a salad, or a burrito bol.
Not that any of those are necessarily easier than dressing as a burrito.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Poor flea. I've been avoiding my dentist since my last visit when she told me I need a root canal and have another tooth on the verge of needing one.

Man, I wish we had Taco Bell here.
You people aren't helping, with all your talk of free Taco Bell.
So. Jealous.

ita, I'm not recommending you try this at all, but apparently capsaicin applied to the nasal passages has been shown to reduce some headaches.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes but you're forgetting about the immunity to mind control satellites side effect. Mind control immunity and a burrito combined might be enough value to overcome the cost.

SERIOUSLY. That seems like a bad thing.
Also, since I'm spamming.... this article: [link] just reinforces what I've been thinking about randomly praising kids.
The problem with this “rah-rah mentality,'’ as the magazine describes it, is that it can take away the sense of satisfaction that comes from genuine achievement. “Self-esteem is based on real accomplishments,” Robert Brooks, faculty psychologist at Harvard Medical School, told the magazine.
Sure, I know you don't want to make kids feel bad by giving them difficult tasks or texts or by grading them accurately. But honestly, self-esteem is a result of having and executing skills.

I also love the fact that they have a blog called "Cognitive Daily" that is quoted in that article.
One of the things that I am supposed to learn as a coach is to not give praise, particularly generalized praise at all. or if I do praise, I'm supposed to praise effort. I mostly disagree with this, and have been working on saying things like, "I love that lesson idea because it sounds like it will be engaging to most of your students and offers kids at multiple levels a chance at success." It's just more effort to say that than, "Good idea!"
