Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A social worker just came up to me and complimented me on my portrait of the pharmacist. That I did over a month ago. She was so sweet, and I have no clue how I got IDed. I am drawing, but there are a couple more puzzle pieces than that.
He has it up at his (shared) desk!
So, this gala I decided to do arrangements in Soil Moist (the silica you find in your shoes that says "don't eat!") and is sold as a soil amemdment. Friday things were looking murky, and I was cursing myself for being all experimental with flower arranging for a gala. Things still looked like shite Saturday morning, and I redid almost everthing the morning of the gala, and they came out satisfactory.
Days later, I am still receiving kudos for the arrangements and tons of inquiries as to how I did them. ( a lot of fucking around!).
So it seems I got lots of potential interest for sidejobs!
I feel so good that despite my misgivings, they worked out.
I am very grateful to McPhee.
I spoke with him about doing some educational stuff other than just reading his assigned summer reading book and he is open to that
One thing that has worked for me to keep me sane over summer has been kid-driven projects. Like letting Franny write her own books, or wanting to make silk screened shirts, or letting the kids teach themselves how to do some kid-level programming, etc. And encouraging them to look things up online and in books. Of course, I now have kids who are much more interested in pulling info than they are in information that's pushed on them.
Good luck, ita. I hope they fix you up right. And soon.
Consuela, that sounds like a wonderful idea.
mac, don't be a turd.
I have Google calender. I hardly use it. I want something that'll yell at me when something's coming up that I need to do.
msbelle - if you'd like some summer-long science projects that require a small amount of daily follow through, I'd be happy to throw some ideas your way.
Zenkitty,
if you put an appt in Google Cal and set up your mobile phone, you can have it text you when an appt comes up. I used to do that when I had a Razr.
and set up your mobile phone
Yeah... I have no idea how to do this. I'll take another look at it.
let us know in Tech thread. We can help.
