@ManuclearBomb Last concert I went to there was size restrictions for bags. I brought the smallest bag I had. When I was stopped I pulled out my inhaler and EPIPEN. They sent me to another area, put a band on the strap, and in I went.
@kateesackhoff@trutriciahelfer My mother always called me a “big girl.” I wasn’t big. I was already well developed by 14. I look at pictures now and I want to cry. I thought I was so fat!
@YaDontSay1@MeachamDr It’s not “subject to” it’s reality, because I have a pension. A pension that I paid into. The amount that triggers the tax hasn’t been adjusted since Reagan was president.
@clhubes When my brother and nephew lived with me we had a fire plan. Smoke detectors go off at 3 am. He’s running through the house telling me to grab the 4yr old and get out. I’m following yelling nephew isn’t here. Fire plan worked like a charm…not.
@ravenousreader My grandfather always put a tangerine in our stocking. He loved fruit, so we always had some. The tangerines tended to be expensive and hard to find in December. This year I never found them, so oranges it was.
@clhubes My younger brother put our 3 yr old brother in the tub. During the bath his sleeve rolled up and the 3 yr old saw his new tattoo. When he got out he said “ Mommy, guess what brother has and it’s not a tattoo.”
@goddek In 1965 my elementary school had kids who were developmentally delayed. Their classroom was in the basement and we never saw them or interacted with them. Today we don’t keep kids like that in the basement, but they existed even then.
@EliMcCann “Time for Bed, Ten Little Fingers, Ten Little Toes” both by Mem Fox. For the nights when you think Mr Baby will never sleep “ Go the F@#k to Sleep.” by Adam Mansbach. “Pat the Bunny” by Dorthy Kunhardt.
@SabraMBoyd No Child Left Behind assumes all children have the same abilities. They don’t. Treating them like they do does both child and teacher a disservice. I’m glad I’m retired.
