ugh, you poor sweetheart. i went back to hydro this afternoon. it was okay in the water, but since coming home it hurts. :-(

to be expected, but decidedly not fun :( *healing vibes for your soreness*
2:24 am
grannyrose
thanx sweetie. i wish i knew what would help your brain to turn off. you haven't had an upset with the boyo have you?
2:26 am
grannyrose
btw, those 2 links you sent me about the tulips. the second one gave me the info i needed. apparently i lift the bulbs when the leaves go yellow.
2:26 am
sprite
no, not at all. It is simply part of ptsd. A chance remark or even thought can trigger old traumas.
2:27 am
sprite
awesome :D That is good information. And then save them in a fridge, never even would have thought about that myself, lol.
2:27 am
grannyrose
if i let the leaves die and are absorbed into the soil, they poison the bulbs.
2:28 am
sprite
lol and we never bother with that at all, let the leaves be absorbed and all. A different climate definitely requires a different treatment.
2:30 am

and the second link tells me how to grow tulips all year round as house-plants. i never thought of that.

it is funny. When public money was requested to help with a new parking lot on the far side of town our Councillors had to work like mad dogs to get it, but when it was found that the new library budget was going to fall short by 5 million dollars, it was raised in less than 2 months with nary a complaint:). it is a beautiful building with our town archives safely stored within it as well as having a green roof/ reading area on top of it:)

the school building where I work was built in 1934 and has rarely been improved since then. There is ONE toilet for the entire staff, for example, and only maybe 25 parking spots - we have to park two and three deep. Next Saturday the town is voting as to whether or not to fund a new middle school being built, and if it doesn't pass, I quite seriously do not know what the town will do

That's too bad Trif. Poor kids getting the short shrift
6:50 am

The idea is that down the road they want to close all the older schools within a 50 mile radius and crate a single mega-school
6:51 am

that is true, bichon, but it
6:52 am
crosshair
there can never be enough funding for education
6:52 am

is also true that if the vo passes, most families will see their tax bills go up by several hundred dollars, and most people are barely able to pay them as it is. it's a scary thought either way
6:52 am

How can a building be open with only one bathroom for staff
6:53 am

oh, there is in Colorado, crossy! Since a certain law passed there, the public schools suddenly have more money than they know what to do with! I imagine the bake sales are doing well too! hahaha

we have the opposite issue here at the moment - we have a really, really lovely student who LOVES school, but her mother is mentally ill and feels it is "unsafe" for her to be away from her child for any length of time.

alas, tadone!! and finito!! that robot ending caught me up a few times. as for kids not wanting to go to school...the question to ask is why. Is there a bully, is he not prepared for a test, is there something going on emotionally that he can't verbalize?
6:59 am

Dylan is a great student, top of the class, so that is not the issue. The issue is that they pull this crap with me. ON Friday, when the father is here, none of it.

7:05 am

he partially wins. Depends on why he wanted to stay home. to play, to avoid something? I'd make as miserable a time at home, so that school looks really good, even with tests.

you would be AMAZED at how often that happens, dos....parents rarely realize their own child is the bully

Trifioso
oh, this is so funny - one of the young teachers just came in and told us that he discovered the kids have been playing "mr Campbell bingo" during his class. The free space in the middle says "spills coffee"
7:13 am
Trifioso
the rest of the squares on the board he found are all things he does during class - "leans on podium with left elbow" "quotes Jefferson".....
7:13 am
josephjames
why didn't i think of that when i was in school
7:14 am
car.eeyore
Trif...did you notice mom getting tired earlier than usual last night?
7:14 am
Trifioso
I should make "dragon lady bingo"....."says something cutting" "insults a student" "gives unclear direction to peer"
7:15 am
Trifioso

7:16 am
Trifioso
I think it's more that she can't tell time passing anymore, car. She asked me often what day it was, what time it was, etc.
7:16 am
Trifioso
she "knows" that bed comes after dinner, but not when....
7:17 am
car.eeyore
Yes, that too.

4:20 pm
mo
or am I being cynical?
4:20 pm

Isn't it their job to actually TEACH and educate people in their subject? That way of thinking is so ridiculous. No, you're not being cynical. The system is broken.
