Yay for a happy resolution to the car saga, Allyson!
Yvonne the Cow is my hero for the day.
My grandfather used to say, "Never try to wrestle a pig. You just get dirty, and the pig likes it." (Meaning, don't argue with stubborn stupid people.)
The broken automated machine at the post office continues to thwart me.

Oh my goodness! I think I just broke something laughing.
I asked because I started a blog about the costume shop, mostly because I am trying to track what is going well, and what I would like to change next year. I am working on trying to teach the students something working within y crazy situation, and in the process perhaps making the whole thing work better for me-- if my students can do things, than I don;t have to.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

then there are the people who hate "BigPharma" because they are only about profit and money and then turn around and spend tons of money on fake treatments.
But the money's going to New Age types who say their natural treatment is good for the earth!
