Would like in between, please! Like 75? Sunny? Please?!
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

This one. Hell, I'll take 55, if that's available.

Like 75? Sunny? Please?!
That's what I had today, maybe a little hotter. Not trading anyone, sorry.
Continuing the ~ma, Sue, glad he's feeling good!

Yeah, it was lovely here today. Unfortunately I was too paralyzed by not caring very much about anything to take advantage of it.
Also, someone is being wrong on facebook. She's posted a sensationalist video news report about Fukushima from last Friday. Do I have to correct her? Should I do it in private? Why are people such idiots?

do you want to correct her, liese, or does that seem like extra work with no payoff?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I dunno. Best case scenario, she goes, oh, sorry, right, and doesn't further disseminate bad info. Worst case scenario, she's furious (former donor) and there's relationship issues. She's obviously scared by it, or she wouldn't be posting. My correcting her info could help assuage her fears.
But basically, what do I have to tell her? That video is old. The language (meltdown) he's using is sensationalistic and this is what was actually happening at the time. But things have actually progressed in the last week, and here's more up-to-date info that may also frighten you.
Yeah. I guess, what's the point?

In case anyone is interested, here is a picture of me from last weekend. Super long bangs! [link]
I am having a hard time not responding to my husband's cousin's wife on the facebook. She posted about how stressful it is being a wife and how you're expected to cook, clean, and do all the bills. argh. Try working out a partnership! I don't know how to say it w/out being condescending though. And I'm sure she's just venting. She doesn't want advice.

You look great! Also, you aren't doing all the cooking, cleaning, and bill paying?? Didn't you get the Wife Handbook? I hope at least your husband is taking out the trash like a man.

Sorry to be all fatalistic about correcting people on the internet. I've had a week of sort of bad-interactions at school.
Actually, that's not true.
We had accreditation visits early in the week. And we had a prelim report from WASC which said they think we're doing well, here are the critical areas (more music --too bad the district RIF'd almost 90% of all music teachers!, get rid of insane-o crack schedule, more time for collaborative time during the day). I was surprised by the positivity they saw.
Then I had an annoying run-in with the college counselor who is new this year, hasn't been a college counselor before etc. S, one of my AP students, doesn't qualify for a Title 1 waiver and has to pay the full $87 for the AP exams (he should be taking 3 but is aiming to take 2). He's also the only kid I have who is sort of a sure thing in passing. I have been drumming up support for him including going to the principal, using the $30 I have from recycling, asking his Academy Lead Teacher. The Lead Teacher told him to go to the counselor with a payment plan ($60 up front for the $178 tests and by May, when we have to pay for all the tests, we'll have the money cobbled together).
The counselor said NO! and he had to bring his parents tax forms in etc. Um. Kid DOES NOT qualify for a waiver. Hence he has to pay in full. the AP Gov teacher went down and paid for his tests and SHE was just pink slipped two weeks ago. I could have smacked the counselor.
