That's great! I'd love to find something like that.

OK, a reappearance of the Civility Expert has once again made me hostile. I really wonder what it is about this guy that sets me off. I largely agree with him (and I'm pretty damned civil) and he sounds like a pleasent enough fellow. But I can't read or hear about him without feeling ill-tempered. It's just...odd.

Would this be an OK place to get started?

After lurking around quietly, I decided to take the plunge and join the fun.

Hi, all! I look forward to getting to know "everyone".

Is it Friday, yet???

Hello, Gadget Girl! Welcome. This is a perfectly good place to join the fun. Jump in and hang on! Pipe in and don't be alarmed if your posts occasionally get swept by in the flow. It can take a bit to get used to us! But welcome!

It feels like it should be Friday. My week is all jacked up because of the weather. Today's lesson was canceled because the student didn't come back to school this week (I dunno how this is an option, but ok). Yesterday's lesson was canceled because of the weather, so we're going to do it tomorrow. So not only will it not be Friday on Wednesday, but it will feel like Monday! I have temporal issues.

grrrr......

Everyone in my family is having a Very Cranky Day.

also. AM HUNGRY. What should I eat? There should be a reality show where a chef invades a house and makes something out of only what is already in the house. What they would have to work with for our house is: sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, ginger ale, crackers and sausage that smells like a combination of peas and feet.

also, msbelle, YAY!

There was, though I've forgotten what it was called.

Hi Gadget Girl!

My week is messed up by weather. We were all home today (I did some telecommuting though) so it doesn't feel like a Tuesday. Tomorrow doesn't look good for getting out and about either. It doesn't seem nearly as bad as predicted though.

Dana, why did they never come to my house?

Hi, Gadget Girl.

Kat, probably the same reason Ground Force never came and landscaped my yard while I was away for a weekend.

My dad could always whip up a respectable meal out of just about anything. He was very creative with ingredients.

I promise not to take it personally if I occasionally get "lost" in the flow. This seems like a place where I can belong.

My students (OK, and quite a few teachers) WISH we had a day or two off because of the weather. Unfortunately, today's hi was an evil 84 degrees! We have 1.5 weeks until the break. Many of the students have already checked out mentally.

With time, even the more temperamental temporal issues can right themselves. (I do understand what you mean, though!)

Hi Gadget Girl. Welcome.

I have a dream of recipe software that will take as input my pantry inventory and give me something delicious to make out of it. A chef coming and doing it for me would probably be better, though then I'd have a person in my house, and if I've got the house clean enough for strange chefs to be wandering in I probably have also gone grocery shopping.
