Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
when I'm not as wild-eyed and defeated.
I am personally feeling dead-eyed and defeated after the latest round of SFUSD not placing Matilda in a high school at all.
It is very likely that when the school year starts she won't have a High School assignment. Indeed, it may be three or more weeks which is NOT an ideal way to begin high school at a new place.
They won't give her a high school?? That's insane! I can't even imagine.
Shrift that would be a pain. Ugh.
I have agreed to adopt a recently born puppy. Now I am freaking out and second guessing myself and completely unsure if that's something I can do. Like, I have no idea what to do with a puppy to make it become a Good Doggo?? (I wouldn't get it for a couple months, because it was just born)
David, is SF civic authorities set up so that you have an alderman or School Board rep for your residence district that you could let know of your (and no doubt others) plight? Failing that, could you email local news outlets/reporters with the bare facts. It can be surprising how many mountains can be moved once bureaucratic obstacles get highlighted. (Plus you and Matilda are photogenic and well-spoken/written squeaky wheels, which never hurts.)
Yay new puppy! Meara, there are probably puppy "good citizen" classes near you. They seem like something that could happen outside, with social distancing.
David, that's appalling. Even if it's not Matilda's dream high school, your city is responsible for finding her a high school. Are they generally this messed up, or is it a pandemic special?
Trudy, I believe you are correct - maybe I need to re-read yaya
PUPPY!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!
What kind? The puppy's I fostered learned very quickly if you set a routine right away. Chewing with the pittie was the one thing I didn't have her long enough to work on.
I bet Consuela and Bonny and Nanita will have thoughts. I mostly deal with older doggos.
Puppy Puppy Puppy!!!
Buffistas I have a question. What is the name for something in a film that comes up on the screen that says a place name. It is escaping my brain and I want to suggest someone do it in a video they made for work. I can't even google it properly today!?!
title card?
That's what I came up with, but I was hoping there was another name that didn't imply inserting a slide into the video. THey have videod a windsheild survey (basically a video out the window of Rochester neighborhoods so the students can see the resources available to various neighborhoods) Usually they make the students take the bus and do this on foot, but now it is COVID-19, so I think she should put the neighborhood, street names, or zipcodes on the bottom of the screen.
Chyron?
