Amish websites are mostly run by teenagers or non-Amish neighbors. Or are actually Mennonite.

my 68-year-old dad got his first tattoo. ON HIS NECK. (I actually think that the tat itself looks fantastic; I just have some doubts about the placement.

Are those his initials? I have my initials tattooed on me! just in case...

Anyway, it is a nice looking tattoo with a bold placement.

What's an ass antler?

What's an ass antler?

Something along the lines of this, methinks?

I've been considering egtting a tattoo for like ten years now. By the time I'm 68 maybe I'll be ready.

Nerves nerves nerves.... Ugh!

I am out talking to the people today, just learned that there are 12 slots here and @700 applicants. My first thought at that news being PanicHideHurl. Why am I doing this?

Why am I doing this?

Erm, because your odds are already better than 1 in 60 with those numbers! And if you assume that as in all things, ninety per cent of the applicants are crap, and you are quite clearly in the other ten percent, then your chances are already 1 in 5 or so without you even making much effort!

Dude, Jars. You and DH get cookies once I come out from under my bed.

So ... I'm kind of a moron.

One of the requirements for me to student teach (after I finish my class requirements, of course) is 100 pre-student teaching hours. Most people will substitute teach to earn these, if they don't have a regular job. I was using Girl Scout stuff because I couldn't sub, because regular job.

Hey guess what I don't have anymore? A REGULAR JOB!!

AND!! I have enough credits (90+) to sub in actual, real classrooms!! So I've started to process to become a sub.

It came to me last night, but then today when I dropped Em off at school, I stuck around and ended up chatting with her teachers. Turns out, they need an aide in the class and they want me!! So I've done the paperwork and I'm begging to get put into an already full enrollment class. Tomorrow I go get fingerprinted. Woohoo!! I'm going to (kind of) teach!!

Sox, I told you: The cookies are supposed to be stuck to your application with icing (not staples)! As a person who has looked at hundreds of applications for law schools, the one I remember most was from the woman who had been a baker.

Aims: Yay! Does this mean you'll be in Em's classroom?

Sparky - it could be! They need a long term sub, so if I can get into this enrollment class I need, then I should be able to be in the pool, at which point Em's teachers will request me.

That's awesome, Aims!
