"The goal is to encourage students to be creative in an era when funding for the arts has been slashed to the bone. “We’re like a finger in the dyke,” says Paula Owen, president of the Southwest School, about the program," - San Antonio Express-News, November 23.
exactly...I'm putting this on the wall in my office area at the school.
I'm mildly concerned with Matilda's ultra-tininess.
I know a couple of little boys who are pretty short, and the selling point for them was that their dads could carry them longer than their friends' dads could carrry them.
So, I accidentally knocked a small cake of soap into my toilet this morning. It did not float. It sank to the bottom of the bowl, and was out of sight and out of reach. (The toilet brush was just pushing it further back and I was not sticking my hand down in there.) So, being half asleep still, I thought, "I'll flush the toilet and that will force it to float up." Um, no. I could hear it clanking against the pipes as it went down the drain. So Buffistas, will this soap clog my drains? How long until it melts? What should I do?
ETA: Would you believe google has an answer for this? [link]
In part two of Ask the Buffistas:
Do you think I can get through airport security with four strings of twinkle lights in my carryon? Or should I pack them in a checked bag?
Is this thing on??
I would go for the checked bag, Sue.
Sue, I would check them if you have checked luggage. I think of security as overly officious and yet still incompetent. That means they seem to pick things to pick at and lights might be it.
Noah is no longer amused by sleeping under the tree. It's 7:00 AM, K is helping her mom move out of her house today so I am home alone, not in my home fwiw, with caterwauling baby. I've already worn a whole in the carpet walking him and now I'm letting him just cry in the hopes that he'll cry himself to sleep.
Sigh.
Allyson is the itouch a gift to self or just a gift from someone else.
I was thinking of checked bags too. But then I thought, what if they Xray the bag and see a tangle of wires and freak? But I hope they'll figure out that they're Xmas lights.
Noah, give your mom a break. Relax. Have a nap! The day will come when you'll want to nap and you can't. Trust me. I'd give an arm for a nap right now.
A nap right now would be great. Can we all take one?
