@JuliaSavGib I got so sick of them I paid for the RoboKiller app.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@JuliaSavGib Congratulations, Julia! I remember this as such a surreal feeling!

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@bethwilensky @fitzframes P.S. I think they also offer a subscription model for lost pairs or as your child’s face grows.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@bethwilensky Try @fitzframes! Their mission is perfect glasses for kids - cute styles, personalization options, *exact* fit, unbreakable frames, special hinges that also don’t break, fun app, and you don’t have to leave your couch to get them. Also you can use insurance & they’re inexpensive.

@StephAzali @MPBaum @laurabellle @MCBazacoPhD I'm sorry you and your son went through that. I hope he's recovering well.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

Someday all the info for school forms will be in one scannable chip implanted I don’t care where, and parents will have no idea how good they have it. Except I’ll be here to remind them. #repetition #myaddressison18otherformsyoualreadyhave

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@ashley_lauretta Thank you for saying so!

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo Jesuit.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@SarahKSilverman I have the same issue! Drives me nuts. Try @fitzframes - they’re 3-d printed exactly to your size. Love their app. I ended up with three pairs. @heidihertel am I right or am I right?

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

Thanks, Dr. Benjamin and @McKinleyLions for this detailed schedule! Can you provide any info on what remote learning will look like? I.e., likely to be teachers and classmates from McKinley? Or, as the SMMUSD email implied, be subs with kids from the whole district? TY!

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

Thank you, Dr. Benjamin & @McKinleyLions for the detailed schedule and sending it so quickly!Can you provide any insight into the remote model? Will teachers and classmates be from McKinley?

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@regalbutojane But of course!

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo B/c Irish. Repressed. And it was too deeply weird to even articulate.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo @ProfJimi But also there’s that element of intense fascination, like a roller coaster drop, that kind of makes it so I can’t look away even though my guts are inside out.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo I doing mind being “on” a big boat, like watching Titanic or touring an aircraft carrier. Just don’t put me under it. And if I’m expecting it (see @ProfJimi’s description or as in a movie) it’s not as bad.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo And P.S. it’s in multiple generations in my family and I swear to you we never spoke of it until we were each adults.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo Megalophobia and submechanophobia, yes, but I swear I’ve seen another word for the phobia and can’t find it now. For me it’s between dread and fascination depending on the circumstance. I first noticed as a kid driving by harbors, but never articulated it until I was an adult.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo @ProfJimi can also tell you it can be coming upon any object looming large unexpectedly - like a silo in a foggy field. I relate to that, but large metal objects in water are the worst. Don’t take me kayaking near a large metal buoy. How dare you.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo And, like someone else here said, the total farce of the Suez Canal incident *and lack of pictures from directly underneath the ship* cancelled out the nauseating dread.

[Eileen Gibson Funke @egfunke]

@lalasoo @zora Trypophobia!
