You need to claim the events of your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality.

School Inspection questionnaire

by Novel

Jun 19, 2017

We have the inspectors in.

We have the chance to fill in an anonymous questionnaire.

Is it really anonymous? Do I pull together with the school as we have been asked to do, or fill a bluntly honest assessment?

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Monday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Jun 19, 2017

I see now, Judy, that it was less than 101 when you walked in the morning. Whew! I remember that you eventually hope to migrate south.

Volatile pop-up showers today, but neither DH on the golf course, nor me on my appointed rounds got caught in it. Two walks: 12,979 steps.

Project of the day: update the Habitat scrapbook. Check.

men52 I had a busy day today too. I had to take the 7 year old in for an ultrasound at 10. If you can imagine a 7 year old fasting until she had to drink 24 oz of water in an hour, then you know that involved a lot of supervision and encouragement. She checked out ok, but there sure was a lot of giggling during the ultrasound as she is very ticklish. ...See MoreI had a busy day today too. I had to take the 7 year old in for an ultrasound at 10.

I had planned on going on a long bike ride before I had to take our daughter to her appointment at 4. That changed when the office called to cancel her appointment for the third time this month. That put her in a panic as her prescriptions ran out today. I have to act in her behalf when this stuff happens to her so that took some hours to get that worked out.

So, when I got home in the middle of the afternoon, the sky was still blue with cumulus clouds so I did my 1 1/2 hour long ride. I drank a sports drink which helped a lot in stopping my arms shaking. I put more air in both tires That helped. I played around with my gears and I think that is why my back tire was so hard to pedal on Saturday. I also think I had my foot too far to be front of the pedal so I wasn't getting the full power of my legs. The wind was strong today, but I plugged along and completed my ride not nearly as physically drained as I was Saturday,

When I talked to my daughter yesterday, I found out that her husband's kickboxing class is right across the street from that Glenfell Tower fire. He and his buddies were leaving their class when they saw the fire there in London. The attack on the mosque was even closer to the area they live. They live in a very multicultural area which I think London is overall. I hate to see what is happening in that city. I have to remind myself that zLondon is very large city and the news we get here is only for a very small part of the city.

Elaine, have you seen that really cool garden design that IKEA released yesterday? I thought of you as I know you garden. One can download the plans and then have the garden made out of plywood. Supposedly one 9 foot garden can feed an entire neighborhood. Very intriguing.

Keep movin' everybody!

EXERCISE ROLL CALL for Sunday

by judycaret

Jun 18, 2017

I walked the reservoir with a friend. So hot at 9:00am! I was beet red halfway round and only made it because my friend poured water on me and in me. Now it's 101--just awful--but I'm inside with AC. That was some dedicated walking.

Shuffletown, I'm thinking of you on this Father's Day.

Elaine/ret/IN Oh my, Judy--101 at 9:00. What a warrior you are! Missing Shuffletown, too.

11140 steps--walked to the grocery store and back with a bit of a detour for extra steps. We took Father's Day supper to FIL I picked cherries off my neighbor's tree (at her invitation)--quite yummy! Sweet.

judycaret Oh no, sorry I was unclear. It wasn't 101 when I walked, probably high 80s. It was 101 later when I posted and hit 105 by the end of the day. Ridiculous! That's one reason I intend to move eventually--I hate these occasional heat waves.

Posting? Talking?

I've been off for a while and I notice some changes. It doesn't look like a lot of posters are on; I don't see many discussions, what's up?

Bob R/CA The site is transitioning to a different format, which requires users to login to reply. I'll have the final version of it finished in the next 24 or 48 hours, and hopefully the new format will allow better engagement for discussions.

Feedback is encouraged!

Deann Marin So sad that this is true. Kids are the ines wh suffer. As an educator, I've seen this situation far too often. So many times I've said to kids, its not your fault, your dad or mom has problems that have nothing to do with you.

Hello :)

by Renae

Jun 17, 2017

I have just joined, I am about to take on my first class of my own halfway through a school year. Looking for any words of advice as far as what to do when the class is already essentially created. Do I try to find out what the previous teacher did or just walk in and do it my own way?

Or anything helpful at all! Thanks!!
