A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

We miss you Amy, and if you have a free evening sometime, and want to Skype and drink and watch a show, I'd be your buddy!

Gris, what class is it? Lots of teachers, current and former, on here -- you're English teacher, too, right? Maybe we could help?

ION, why is it that when you are married, all these cute guys who you would have KILLED to have hit on you when you were single and looking, are all "Heeeey!" It's so disconcerting, and amusing. I think it's because being happily married takes the pressure off and you're just being you, doing your thing, and that's attractive. You can be bold and flirt and it's just a fun thing to do -- not a mating dance.

(I've also lost weight, and am more body confident, and while I think that may play into it to, I really think it's the mental confidence that does it.)

That moment when you've been talking or dancing with some cute guy (I don't wear my cheapy wedding ring because it doesn't fit anymore, and we're STILL paying on my REAL wedding ring) and he'll make a play, and I'll smile and be all "Well, my husband might not be happy about that. But nice try, though! You're sweet and cute and a lot of fun; I'll be your wingwoman!"

Random thought; it just cracks me up.

Hey. New board.

It is AP Statistics. I have curricular support and ideas, I am just not sure zi have time to turn the culture around. Feeling better about it this morning though.

Glad you feel better, Gris!

I use the Sleep Cycle app on my phone as an alarm, it's supposed to gently wake you up by sensing when you are already not too deeply asleep in the half hour before the time set and playing a sound and vibrating. You can tap it to snooze and it'll try again within the same window or you can swipe up and officially be awak. This morning when it went off, I fuzzily looked at the screen to see what time it was, as I often do, and saw a popup advising me to update th iOS. And clicked "Update Now". And then the alarm went off and I couldn't swipe up so the alarm just kept going off, getting louder and adding more signals.

So, don't do that, is what I'm saying.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There's something amusing about an iOS device waking you up just so you can do an update.

They're becoming like cats, aren't they? Cats that need to be fed at 4:00 a.m.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Dunno about you, but I frequently pet mine and call it Precious.

Aw, man! I just found an unopened package of Altoids, two years past the best by date. The Is It Still Tasty website says one year.

I's chance it. It's not like they are going to turn into something harmful, is it? They're probably just less than curiously strong.

Just mildly intrigued?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I've had similar mints for years. They might get a little soft, but still fine!

Huzzah, huzzah! I wore my boss down so I can promote my best person and hire a new entry level one, instead of probably having to fill both positions with new people, because wouldn't you leave soon after being denied a promotion?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy birthday, tommyrot!
