rururocks

or given a tart response

10:43 am

rururocks

10:43 am

rururocks

moolingwa

yes, they really take the cake

11:10 am

moolingwa

although I guess these puns are easy as pie

11:11 am

rururocks

at least people aren't meringueing us about punning

11:12 am

I imagine they're just soaking them up like sponges

11:12 am

11:16 am

rururocks

I wish I nougat more puns for desserts

11:17 am

moolingwa

I wish we could profiterole these puns

11:18 am

rururocks

or be baked and do them all day

11:19 am

rururocks

I get two brownie points for that one

11:19 am

moolingwa

I have startling a little bit a custard by you though

11:20 am

rururocks

it's ok.. I'm always a la mode for punning

11:20 am

moolingwa

you can be such a creme brulee sometimes

11:21 am

moolingwa

I just hope others don't souffle like I am

11:22 am

rururocks

you have to be putting me chiffon

11:24 am

rururocks

I just hope I don't make you des-fondant by trying to keep up with me

11:25 am

rururocks

I'm trying not to glaze over the subject matter

11:27 am

moolingwa

apologies, I must step away for 30 mins or so

1:05 pm

Trifioso

hello friends. Another snow day tomorrow. Novelty is ENTIRELY worn off, dreading teaching in late june. meh.

1:08 pm

doseffing

... you have to learn how to pray to the snow gods so that it falls Friday nights or Saturday mornings ....

1:08 pm

Trifioso

apparently I do, dos....this one is going to be a hell of a thing.

1:10 pm

doseffing

... we only had one "official" snow day ... the days that hold us up are the days where the weather is forecasting freezing rain because then the school bus companies shut down ... the schools are open but only one half perhaps only a third of the students show up

1:11 pm

Trifioso

oh man. with so many young ones driving themselves to school, that can't be a good thing

1:13 pm

doseffing

... we don't have that many high school kids driving (there are certainly some) and they just look at it as a day to go wild ...

1:13 pm

Trifioso

ugh.

1:14 pm

doseffing

.... for us the communities have developed in such a way that the teachers are living farther and farther from schools ... they don't get there for first period ... and we end up with one teacher in the cafeteria with four classess

1:15 pm

Trifioso

oh no! we do have two teachers here that live quite a distance, and wouldn't you know it, they are the MOST reliable! The ones who live closest somehow seem to be the ones running late most of the time

1:15 pm

doseffing

... that does seem to be a universal rule

1:15 pm

Trifioso

that very fact is shaping my job hunting for next year (I want to have my own room). I just don't want to have to drive more than an hour each way. It's a recipe for disaster.

1:17 pm

doseffing

... it certainly is ... especially if it's rush hour expressway driving ... did it into the city one year ... I wasn't fit to live with when I got home in the evening

1:21 pm

Trifioso

I would imagine not, no

1:23 pm

doseffing

... ah well ... don't have to do that any more ... just substitute teaching (i.e. grown up babysitting) ... ... and enjoying March break ... .... oh well ... just done .... may I offer any clues? ...

1:25 pm

doseffing

.... in which case I must be off to bigger and better things ... luck to all ...
