7:29 am

wvteach

with high winds and thunderstorms for tonight they have "postponed" our Halloween until Saturday

8:32 am

hokie carla

must be a lot of weird ones today. not going fast at all for me for a grid this size.

8:32 am

BzznBea

No T. That's part of the problem, I think.

8:33 am

hokie carla

wv, there is all kinds of debate around here about postponing trick-or-treating due to the impending doom, but no consensus.

8:33 am

gemini_J13

we moved trunk or treat inside

8:33 am

gemini_J13

KS

8:34 am

BzznBea

What impending doom?

8:34 am

BzznBea

Got snow there, gemini?

8:34 am

gemini_J13

no just cold

8:34 am

hokie carla

we have severe storms coming tonight with some kind of tornado possibility.

8:35 am

gemini_J13

had snow , the ground is covered but nothing measurable

8:35 am

hokie carla

73 degrees right now, perfect for storms

8:35 am

gemini_J13

probably what we had coming your way

8:36 am

BzznBea

Yes, it is the perfect brew for a good storm.

8:36 am

BzznBea

What part of KS are you in?

8:37 am

BzznBea

I think we've had this conversation before, maybe?

8:37 am

gemini_J13

we're getting ready to leave for cataract surgery this afternoon,,,,, western KS.... Dodge City, Garden City, Hays

8:37 am

gemini_J13

maybe??

8:38 am

hokie carla

my son has a soccer game tonight too. I'm guessing it will be canceled but probably not until we have driven there.

8:38 am

BzznBea

I am from the Wichita area.

8:38 am

gemini_J13

ahh the city!!

8:38 am

gemini_J13

I have a meeeting in Newton Fri/Sat

8:39 am

hokie carla

KS is one of the few states I haven't been to. We managed to avoid it on our cross country motorhome trip in 2014.

8:39 am

BzznBea

My daughter teaches in Newton.

8:39 am

gemini_J13

you missed a lot!

8:39 am

gemini_J13

we get there a lot,,,

8:39 am

gemini_J13

8:40 am

gemini_J13

just opened Little Jerusalem west of us ~I am wanting to go there.. my husband did as a child

8:41 am

hokie carla

I think we went through Kansas City and that was the closest we got

8:41 am

gemini_J13

:)

8:42 am

hokie carla

We came back through Cheyenne and then Neb and then cut down to MO so were never on I70

8:43 am

hokie carla

On the way out we went through OK panhandle, so were fairly close then.

8:48 am

hokie carla

just now heard wind whistling outside

8:48 am

car.eeyore

Hello All! Happy Halloween!

8:49 am

hokie carla

it's already coming!

8:49 am

hokie carla

HH, car!

8:49 am

BzznBea

Yes, windy here. Much like KS wind today.

8:51 am

hokie carla

So, we camped at a drive-in movie campground in Guymon, OK, and it was fine when we got there, but the next morning the wind was insane. It was right next to a windmill farm too, so I guess we should've seen that coming.

8:54 am

BzznBea

We used to say that KS was so windy because OK sucks and NE blows! =)

8:54 am

hokie carla

:D

8:56 am

hokie carla

same thing happened to us in NE. I think it was Waco, NE. We got there, set up, enjoyed a beautiful day, and then the next morning woke up to crazy wind.

8:57 am

hokie carla

the worst wind we had on the trip, though, was at Great Sand Dunes in CO. We were there for prob 5 days and it never calmed. I guess that's how the dunes formed. :D We actually broke part of our motorhome putting the slide out because of the wind.

11:30 am

hurshy

11:30 am

BzznBea

I'm using puff pasty and leftover roasted chicken from Sunday dinner.

11:30 am

hurshy

maybe that's how they're able to keep running around after their heads get cut off - it's the drugs

11:31 am

rururocks

they keep having crack(ed) corn

11:32 am

BzznBea

My family keeps asking for roasted chicken. Now I know why...

11:32 am

BzznBea

Ru, have you had cheese and onion pie?

11:32 am

Uneaixoise

Yes! Yum!

11:33 am

BzznBea

That is another fam favorite.

11:33 am

BzznBea

11:34 am

rururocks

11:34 am

hurshy

i'd rather have my peas defrosted thanks

11:34 am

rururocks

i like fresh peas

11:34 am

BzznBea

LOL!, well they are cooked and defrosted, hurshy.

11:35 am

BzznBea

I like fresh peas too, but can't get them here in the winter.

11:36 am

BzznBea

If you want, ru I can send you my recipe for onion pie. It's really simple.

11:36 am

12:16 pm

bichon

are you in Chicago?

12:19 pm

pippingeek

i am, yes

12:20 pm

bichon

It's awful that kids are out of school for so long

12:21 pm

pippingeek

i'm so frustrated with our government for not funding the schools properly

12:23 pm

pippingeek

my coworkers have all had to scramble for childcare, and the kids are so ready to go back to school

12:24 pm

bichon

That's common in other places California, for one. Parents have to pay for art and music. And, there are no no busses except for intergrating the school.

12:27 pm

pippingeek

no, they're striking for things like school nurses and counselors so they can have more than one per 1500 students. art and music are not even on the table

12:28 pm

pippingeek

a lot of schools don't have school nurses, they don't have the funding to hire enough

12:29 pm

bichon

Fortunately, CT hasa high budget for education

It is a short stint with this grid if you don't list

3:25 pm

MollyL

All our Halloween treats are getting donated somewhere. We have tornado warnings from now until 10 PM.

3:25 pm

MollyL

*Wonders what Min's costume is

3:26 pm

Minveryork

Can you guys see my updated Halloween profile pic. I do not see it here.Still my World Priest icon from Oct. 28th.

3:40 pm

Minveryork

Hi pippingeek! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

3:47 pm

MollyL

Min, somehow, the regular refresh no longer works when you update your icon. You have to do CNTRL+F5 in your profile and on the board for it to be seen.

3:48 pm

pippingeek

hi minveryork. I've been okay, it's been a rough month, but things seem to be normalizing again which is a welcome relief

3:50 pm

Minveryork

Sorry to hear that pippingeek.Hope things to continue to normalize for you. I am wishing you the best of luck!!!

3:50 pm

pippingeek

very well (well kinda) - my new boy, nutty if nervous.

9:30 pm

stidmama

LOL greyhound?

9:31 pm

lynxxx

And you? still teaching ? boys all left home?

9:31 pm

lynxxx

Yes - greyhound, retired after amazing racing career - well he did win $70 over the short career anyway

9:32 pm

stidmama

Yes, still teaching -- challenging day for third graders (Halloween), but I have a strict policy of keeping them learning (but making it fun when I know they cannot keep our normal routines).

9:33 pm

lynxxx

they have to count all the pumpkin seeds?

9:33 pm

stidmama

Both sons are no longer living at home, though we do have an ex-girlfriend of one of them. :-) And a lizard from a different ex-girlfriend... and things in the storage locker from several young adults who have passed through our home.

9:34 pm

lynxxx

never dull at your home

9:34 pm

stidmama

No, I didn't do anything with a pumpkin theme, but I did actually read a holiday-adjacent story called "Creepy Carrots" that allowed them to talk about scary things and the dark and such. ;-) I don't do holidays in my classroom as a rule, but I am not a complete monster...

9:39 pm

stidmama

When I drove home today I loved seeing all the little ones on main street (I teach in a VERY small town) with their families going from store to store for treats. The whole town decorates for every holiday, and the kids just love it.

9:40 pm

lynxxx

and done...nasty, nasty grid. Got to run Stid, I am way behind. Lovely to see you if only briefly.
