@TheCinesthetic I may be alone here but I thought the movie was so awful I walked out halfway through. The way Irish immigrants were depicted was insulting. They were all either criminals or crooked public officials.
@anenglishteachr I started teaching in 1991 4th and then 5th grade. I gave out candy at first but got tired of hearing that I wasn't giving out "good candy". Meanwhile I was making about $20/year with an ancient car and student loans. One day I snapped and never bought candy for kids again.
Shout out to @HomeDepot I'm less than a month out from knee replacement and I've been to 2 of your stores in East Texas. In each store an employee met me at the door to make sure I had a fully charged scooter. Fantastic custom service!
@CiscoMom11@JackPosobiec I was in third grade then and we had some sort of school program and I remember being dressed up like that and being told I was Phyllis Wheatly. I think it wasn't until I was in college that I found out she was black. Guess I'm cancelled?
@TexasEd911@FamilyProjectTX Oh you don't have to tell me. I retired the very day I met the rule of 80. I worked with school libraries and I saw a storm coming.
@LaNativePatriot First of all, why would you even need us? You seem to be winning at life all on your own. Secondly, I'll accept the heck out of you! If you and your lovely wife are ever in East Texas come on over, I'll bake cookies.
@Okie_Rancher I dumped a guy when I found out he was living with his buddy because his ex wouldn't leave his house. She was also a redhead, nurse, biker chick, and over 6' tall. Not that there's anything wrong with being those things. She just didn't sound like she was gonna like me.
@atensnut Check out the Merlin app. It helps you identify birds but the best feature is where you have it listen for birds and it will give you a list of all the birds it heads. You can even keep a list of birds you've seen.
@jenteach13 I'm totally old school. Starter teaching in '91 with a real blackboard. I came out of retirement for a bonus year and let me say that Gimkit was an absolute gift from God!
@intellivisi0x@fuyuto64@CajunMike1985 Also read Between Two Skies by Joanne O'Sullivan. It's a young adult romance set in a small Louisiana fishing town who's residents get displaced by a hurricane. Well told story with Louisiana flair. Relatable to anyone who has ever had to evacuate from a natural disaster.
