"We have trust issues." Mylar

Hey msbelle, I sent you an email with the names of some teachers and mentors as well as a principal I know in NYC who currently work or have worked in D75. Bonnie Brown is great, but sometimes a little hard to get a hold of. In addition, I recommend reaching out to Ronnie Shuster. She is the principal at P94M, a D75 school in Manhattan, and she is hooked up with the who's who in the DOE. Also, here is Advocates for Children's Guide to Special Ed for NYC. It's pretty good and has lots of contact info for great folks to know in the DOE. Lamson Lam, one of the District Family Advocates, is a friend of mine. His region is in Brooklyn, but he might know some good Manhattan folks to talk to: [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Y'ALL ARE AMAZING! Seriously, could this be more awesome. I am having a mini break, the day has been good, but not all smooth (that would be SHOCKING) and I am wound tighter than I actually realized - not surprising at all, huh. I may need to scrub a bathroom. My not being still is really unsettling to my dad though. As much as they don't know quite what to do with mac, I think seeing me all crazied up is harder for them.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Patricia Heaton fails at math. Speaking of education...

Given how my parents reacted to my physical pain or cranky, yeah, not surprising.

So glad to see all the links posted.

Just got back from a brisk walk. That's 3 days in a row. I like it, even if the weather I chose try this thing, less than stellar. Oof.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

There's an apartment complex named Essex Place where people keep putting black tape over the "Es"

Someone in my office building defaced the door to the elevator vestible down in the parking garage -- where it says "Push," they removed the "h."

Here comes the rain...

That picture is creepy! And amazing! Creemazing!

Here too. This is the view outside my front door.

Barb, did your mother summon the storm?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I've already decided I have to fight against showing pain or going to the ER the week my father is here. It's very stressful doing either in front of him, and he's just here to check up on me anyway.

Glad you have your dad to help, though, msbelle!

Dude. Usain Bolt got another world record--19.19 in the 200m. Jamaica has been rocking the IAAF.


sarameg - Aug 21, 2009 1:14:26 pm PDT #4977 of 30001

I know! I saw that last night. He set another record in the 100m just a day or so before. He's amazing.

That was a more impressive win than the 100, which was stupendous. He left the rest of the racers in his dust!

From the IAAF website:

his World Record sequence. That’s five now in his last five Olympic and World Championship finals – the 100m (9.69), 200m (19.30) and 4x100m (37.10) in Beijing and his 100m (9.58) and 200 (19.19) here.
