Egad, her actions are all out of proportion, not to mention infantilizing. But your mom should maintain her perspective. She's not about to be stalked by an 80 yo woman.
I'm sorry Hil, what an unnecessary mess.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

She's 80, I don't think she has much of a clue about what's appropriate in this medium...
Which, of course, lead to her problems in the first place...

Dogs have an amazing sense of smell, good enough that some think they can be used to diagnose illness. I'm not surprised at the puppy's actions.

Good dog, indeed! Good boy, Tater Tot.
Rescues rule.
Ahem.
Hey, teachers among us, I need advice on the best chalk to buy.
I have just purchased some vinyl chalkboard sheeting to cover a significant portion of my kitchen wall. I'm going to use it for organizing and fun.
I want sturdy chalk that will wipe off well. I love color and have toyed with the idea of Crayola's glitter sidewalk chalk but don't want a ton of dust, breakage or smearing.
Is there an industry standard?
My research so far suggests Japanese chalk is the best, but I'm not interested in that kind of investment.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
bonny, we recommend chalk markers [link] for our clients who want chalkboard paint elements. They're great, and so not messy.

All the classrooms I've worked in for at least 10 years have had dry erase boards. It's been a long time since I've had to deal with chalk.

juliana, those markers are gorgeous. I would never have found them without you.
My one concern is that one blog I read suggested that the markers are harder to wipe off than regular chalk.
I'm assuming, though, that the vinyl chalkboard is easier to wet wipe than even the paint version. Has that been your experience?
I'd MUCH prefer markers if they really will wash off completely.
