I understand. My threshold for presentable is a lot lower than yours. But I don't have to stand up in front of a class that might judge me or be influenced by how I look.

That would be nice. But he is way too weak of a person to do that. And, if he tried, he’d miss. Plus, if he happened to find a bunker, he’d use an iron, not a gun.
To be fair, all I wear is casual clothes and most come out of the dryer being presentable. On rare occasions when I really care, I ask my wife to iron or I have them dry-cleaned. But that’s gotten ridiculously expensive. Some teachers take their dress more seriously. As I did when I worked.
Thank you Siobhan for including me with so many familiar names and many interesting new ones.
I didn’t know people ironed much these days. If you didn’t do the laundry, you wouldn’t have to iron. Harder to avoid cooking
Thank you Sylvia. We had a lovely weekend. Hope you did as well. We have two more days to enjoy our weekend— no back to reality tomorrow.
Good morning Francine. Love the Impressionists. Great picture. Happy Labor Day.
If you accept that Texas was a red state back then Texas Instruments invented the integrated circuit and microchip, from which came the calculator and of course virtually everything we use now TX also produced some form of pacemaker More importantly, in the medical world, TX developed Dr. Pepper.
Silicon breast implants
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
I wasn’t aware you are unable to work. I hope you have disability or some suitable substitute.
Sure doesn’t feel like winning, does it?
It’s really odd. Maybe they think business would be good on Sundae Eve.
That sounds wonderful. I have never heard of Amazon Vine. But as one who relies on the reviews a lot, I’m happy to know some are done by smart people with good taste.
That part... 🫠⤵️
There is very little that has happened in The Little Man’s two presidencies that any normal person could have imagined 10 years ago.
Thanks yet again Siobhan. I don’t know how you come up with so many lists with so many new names for me to follow— every time. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for pointing out what she was doing. My old eyes couldn’t see that. Glad you’re doing OK, if you really are. Hope you’re in a good place. What’s new? What’s exciting you these days? Drop in more often.
Another good group from a good resister who is Good Trouble.
Doing well. Just wrapping up 10+ weeks in Maine. No medical appointments so all is well.
I guarantee that he is clueless about how studies can mix up cause and effect. If there is a relationship, he’ll think the drugs caused the killing whereas the person might have been mentally ill but the drugs didn’t work.
No class. All ass. What a FN ahole.
Pure class. Well 60% of it.
Maybe someone with an assault rifle taking out the president or the right wing of the House. Maybe.
Good morning Laura. Happy Friday. Enjoy the weekend
Good morning Heidi and friends. I love CCR. Even if they can't spell. Isn't it now "Bad Moron Rising?" Both daughters and families will be here this weekend. A not so small project is lined up for part of one day. Then next week we head back to Mass for a while. Have a wonderful weekend.
You are right. Obviously a parent with lots of Lego experience.
Try thanking Santa. He’s running early this year. No, I’m not Santa. Would have to lose weight to fit in his outfit.
A few items needed to help Emily #clearthelist.
It used to snow. We get very little in Mass, more in Maine. It's actually pretty. And, unlike years ago, people aren't expected to go very far when it's snowing.
It is a pleasure to follow you and, more importantly, have you working so diligently on our behalf. Not being a NM citizen, by "our" I mean we the people of the United States. You are doing a fantastic job both representing us and keeping us informed. Thank you Rep. Stansbury.
Only you would come up with the perfect GIF for something bad your team did.
Aww Kady. It's really my pleasure. I appreciate you-- both as a person and as a dedicated teacher. You do the heavy lifting. My part is easy.
OK friends of Kady, education, and teachers, do I have a deal for you. Kady needs $160 more to buy that computer.. You can contribute a gift card, and I will match the first $80 given. So if you give a $10 gift card, you will really be giving Kady $20. Help her get that laptop soon. Thank you all.
Thank you for all the shares!! Just a few items left and gift cards for the large item ($170 needed to purchase) 🩷
What a difference a week or so makes.
How close are you?
I don't know how you do it. I couldn't. I can't stand the hot, humid days, and we never get over 100. On our bad days, even with AC, I will shower 2-3 times a day, and sometimes feel clammy before I am dressed. Of course, your winters are better than ours, but I'll take NE anyday. One more day.
It looks fantastic. So warm. So much different visual stimulation. So many messages. You certainly put a lot of work into it. Thank you for sharing.
Let’s help Kady clear the list. Gift cards so she can get the computer would be much appreciated.
Was Mike Lindell not available? www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
Hi Sylvia, Doesn’t everyone look forward to start of year testing. I guess it might be helpful in measuring progress but, then again, not sure it’s smart to hit kids with it before they’re back in the swing of things. Life is good here. One more week then we head back to Mass.
Mixing cause and effect. If murderers use SSRI drugs more than others, does that mean the drugs contributed to the killings or the killings was in spite of the drugs? Or the killer stopped taking the drugs?
Sorry Suzanne. Thinking of you and sending hugs. 🥰🥰🥰
He goes after a woman who might have made mistake on a loan application when Trump was found to have committed fraud on his application. But, she is a Black woman, just the type of person a racist bully likes to attack. If he succeeds, the economic fallout will be disasterous.
Thank you Annette.
Good evening Kady. Do you ever 💤💤?
We are grateful for good, dedicated teachers like you. Especially when they happen to also be good people. Like you.
Wouldn’t you rather be in the Mets dugout?
Want to feel good, or at least better, in these authoritarian times? Get revenge! Support education. Even one or two small gift cards will make a difference-- to Kady and to how you feel.
The huge vulnerability, not yet tested, is school buses.
There’s no place like home?
How about the Mets dugout?
Bingo!!!
But those 2A rights are essential to protect the citizens from an authoritarian government and to make sure our rights are not interfered with.
Bingo! Nailed it. 1000%. Thank you.
My good friend Good Trouble has another good starter pack.
Just saw that you've not been feeling well. I hope you're on the mend and will soon be back to 110%.
Thank you Siobhan for again including me in one of your thoughtful, interesting starter packs.
While that’s bad, it’s exacerbated by the fact that hat one man is delusional, ignorant and with no redeeming value.
But their firearms are for legitimate emergencies when the government uses the military and starts to take our rights away. The weapons give them a way to fight back and nip fascism before it starts.
Bingo!!
Missed those succinct cutting lines. Welcome back b
It seems like a "no-win" situation. When 40% of the country feels one way and is blind to seeing it a different way, it takes courage to risk losing a huge share of the market. Of course, catering to them and hurting the country risks losing a lot more. MSM is useless. It's independent media now.
1000% on both.
I appreciate you. We could have a mutual admiration group going. I am not suggesting you don't need a good laptop. I think most teachers do. And for a lot moree than attendance. My point is the schools should provide them. Just as they used to provide chalk or markers.
My pleasure Kady. Thanks for all you do in the classroom, and outside. You are much appreciated. It is crazy that schools are not providing laptops for their educators. I don't know what they are thinking. That notwithstanding, I will add some gift cards to your collection. Good luck.
Wow! CBACO. I can't believe they caved. Well, at least now all is right with the world. smh
The Trump cult has made the importance of education clearer than ever. Kady is a true Blue supporter, lovely person, and dedicated teacher. Please consider helping her get the year off to a good start by sharing her wish list and contributing if you can.
They also didn’t imagine slavery ending, Blacks voting and women voting. But they knew times would change and provided for the Constitution to be amended. What they didn’t imagine is Congress wouldn’t do its job and so many people would put party over country.
You’re welcome Amber. And your dedication to your students and positive outlook are also much appreciated. I hope you and your students have a great year.
Most every intelligent person does too. Sorry. I keep forgetting that virtually no one here knows my propensity for sarcasm or being facetious.
They do. But only in Trump’s mind. He’s claimed windmills and wind turbines cause cancer in humans and whales.
They’re not. But they may be causing cancer in whales. 🙄😂
True. But for a career person facing an unreasonable commanding officer and peer pressure that may be asking a lot. Hopefully many will.
Thank you. So am I.
It’s Ashley and many others who are “living” with this horrible system.
I can imagine. So difficult and so unfair.
Thanks Sue.
Good morning Sue. Have a lovely, restful day
1000%
That’s wonderful. She needs it and certainly deserves it.
Glad you had such a good time. It says a lot that your daughter chose to include you with her friend.
He wants to fire her for lying on a bank loan application. The irony of that. He lied big time, was convicted, and can be president
Yes she does. And yes she is. And she so deserves any help people can provide.
Good luck. May your enthusiasm and support be well rewarded
Don’t you love it when your team wins big one day and then loses by 1 run the next? Here’s hoping that doesn’t happen. I can’t afford to lose a good friend.
💙
Watts the problem?
Happy Birthdays “Girls.”
YOLO. You can write anytime. You can’t have quality time with your daughter anytime. How can you both be 40? Do they handicap the teams? The top teams have to have the most drinks? BTW, I wasn’t trying to rush you. Just curious as to whether the book will be done in 25, 26, or later.
What a coincidence that he fired a woman. And his cult gave him extra points for firing a Black woman.
I want to know when that book is coming out?
What a beautiful home. Just seeing that must be hard. Was the Lupus the reason you moved out, or just other life changes? I cannot believe the housing prices. That would be much, much more in New England, depending of course on where.
It makes sense that making a false statement to a bank should disqualify a person from being on the Fed's Board of Governors. It makes even more sense that making repeated false statements to banks should disqualify a person from being president.
I trust you are talking about The Conman.
That allows Powell to cut rates, which allows Trump to say he "told Powell so," and to blame Powell for the economic problems that Trump caused.
Such a beautiful ride, beautiful area. I used to drive from west of Portland to Saratoga every August, and would go through Hanover, Queche, Woodstock, etc. Lovely. And you picked a good time weather-wise. Enjoy. Are you flexible? Will we see a Vermont Inspired by Jeannie?
