Bring me with you, Barb!
Heh--whenever we get around to an Orlando F2F, we'll definitely have to pop by the NM Outlet off I-4. I am the queen of the sales rack.
What? Y'all didn't think I actually paid retail did you?
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I saw this coat the other day, and I like it, but I would never ever ever shop at Abercrombie or show off their logo. Can y'all help me find something similar?

Barb, Thank you! I posted a post in Beep Me, but thank you so very much for the books. It's amazingly generous of you.
Mind you, not probably means making the call from home, where I inevitably feel less secure and teacherly.

I call home specifically when I know the parents won't be there. Box is checked off and I don't have to talk! My ish is I hate stumbling through a convo half in spanish, half not.

I can't wait! I love the outlet mall offerings in Orlando.
FOr years my family has said my favorite colors were 'On sale', 'Clearance', or 'Reduced'.

Cash, that picture you linked to? Total shout out to Adlai Stevenson fans. My mom would have loved it.

Thanks to HuffPost, I just watched the (August, I think) interview with the Obama family where they went over Michelle's frugal fashion tips and she made fun of the idea of Barack as a style icon because the pants he was wearing were a decade old and he was refusing to replace his worn-out belt.
The contrast is sharp. Also, I feel, kind of hilarious, considering how much better Michelle Obama looks in her H&M than Sarah Palin looks in her NM.

X-rays detected from Scotch tape
NEW YORK – Just two weeks after a Nobel Prize highlighted theoretical work on subatomic particles, physicists are announcing a startling discovery about a much more familiar form of matter: Scotch tape. It turns out that if you peel the popular adhesive tape off its roll in a vacuum chamber, it emits X-rays. The researchers even made an X-ray image of one of their fingers.

Tom, have you tried Territory Ahead or The Sundance catalogs? They might have similar offerings.

My pleasure, Kat-- having done the teaching thing myself and not having the fortitude or patience to deal with the red tapes of administration and craxy parents, I still try my best to give back to the ed community. Especially when it comes to books.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Kat, what books do you still need?
