@TheAmberPicota Ooo, tiktok would make it too hard for me, but I would love to watch your video!
(I should have done before and after pics as we unpacked into this house...)

@HomeDepot Yeah, it's so awesome when the app tells you the delivery of your new fridge has been canceled, over 24 hours after you defrosted the old fridge!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

“I was taking a break at work the other day when a stern-looking woman stopped near her car and watched me curiously before saying,

"What are you doing?"

I looked up from the ground.

"What does it look like I'm doing?"

She waited a moment, then said,

"It looks like you're picking up rocks from the ground, looking at them closely, discarding some, then keeping a few."

I smiled and said, "Spot on!

Don't you ever pick up rocks you think are interesting and pretty?"

She said, 'Well, yeah, I did that as a kid." I motioned for her to join me by the rocky slope. "Well, go ahead! It's still just as fun as when you were little."

She paused a moment, and I went back to my activity. Soon she began picking up stones, looking at them and then asking my opinion about the ones she liked.

Soon we were showing off the ones we thought were pretty, agreeing on the rocks that needed to "try harder" and "be more interesting", and giving each other stones that the other person liked.
Her smile faded slightly as she stood and brushed off her blouse. “Well, have a good day."

I said, "Thanks for playing with me for a little bit. This was fun!" She looked briefly shocked and said, in a voice full of wonder, "Yes, it was fun to play a bit."

She sat in her car for a moment, held up a rock in her hand, gazed at it, and then drove away.

The Kremlin has Confirmed that the Criminal Case against Yevgeny Prigozhin has been Dropped and that Wagner Fighters who did not participate in the Action will be able to Sign a Contract with the Ministry of Defense while Fighters who did participate will return to Ukraine but not be Prosecuted to “Account for their Merits in Combat.”

It was so simple when she was growing up that, per her own memoir, she wasn’t allowed to be in a child beauty pageant because it was divided into Black kids and white kids and she was neither. The good ol’ days!

@birdbrainmd3 They could solve that uniform aesthetic problem by making every unit accessible. 😉

[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

When I was a building principal, we had a group of boys who were consistently getting office referrals during lunch for aggressive and disruptive behaviors. In the past, these behaviors had led to increasingly severe consequences that did not reduce the negative behaviors (and caused some students to be sent home and to miss instruction). I sat down with the group and we worked together to come up with a plan on what to do during lunch. One of the boys asked if we could start a knitting club, since his Auntie had recently taught him how to knit. Since he was a leader of the group, the other boys agreed. I asked them to come back tomorrow with some ideas of what to knit. The next day one of the boys said that he wanted to knit little hats for the preemies at the hospital, since his little cousin was there and that a nurse mentioned that they had run out of the little hats. The boys knitted daily and we delivered the hats to the hospital. We received many heartfelt thank you notes from families, nurses and doctors (and even an in-person visit with a personal thank you and cookies from a newborn's mom). This group continued to grow as did our ability to create knitted hats for preemies. This became a huge success for the participating students. There was significant improvement in the students’ behavior, attitude, achievement, and attendance. It is so important to think outside of the box for “win-win” solutions. It really isn’t the WHAT you do that is important, it is the WHY you are doing it! Our knitting group become a team, family, and community.
