EXERCISE ROLL CALL for Tuesday

by judycaret

May 2, 2017

Phew, early heat wave here. At least it's sunny and clear. I walked 40 minutes then did my fun oldies' exercise class for 45 minutes. I feel great!

Are you there?

Elaine/ret/IN Oh, Judy, send some of your heat our way . . . two forms of exercise for you today. No wonder you're feeling so well.

It's been a long week or two of little walking. Besides the Women Build and babysitting, ("I am a nerd . . . 2 + 2 = 4; 4 + 4 = 8. etc," declared the 7 year old after watching "Hero 6." or "I looooo...See More

men I am here but under the weather which hasn't been the case in a very long time. It started almost 3 weeks ago when all that dental sanding for my bridge gave me a very sore throats for over 2 weeks. Finally the sore throat evolved into a really bad cold. After 3 nights of constant coughing I cancelled my last two cycling classes. I plan on going ba...See More

Foreign Language Assessment

by spanishmoss

May 1, 2017

Hi everyone,

I'm a graduate student working on my teaching certification in Pennsylvania, and for one of our ongoing projects is that we are asked to consult with teachers and experts about an area of interest pertaining to assessment. For example, what are they doing in their own classrooms? Since I hope to be a foreign language teacher i...See More

Teacher's retirement party

by Retired K teacher

Apr 30, 2017

One of the teachers I taught with is retiring after 35 years in the classroom. Her team members are planning a retirement party for her at a winery and the cost to attend is $25. Is it just me or is it tacky for friends to plan a party and ask the guests to pay their own way?

We are always charged... I don't mind celebrating someone's retirement and chipping in for a gift and their meal.

HOWEVER - I do mind being asked to attend a district level function, a department function, and a building function all for the same person all within a few week's time.

My district is very bad with this. We need to decide where the celebratio...See More

elsiev It's pretty much a standard practice to ask all attendees to chip in and pay their share of the costs as well as a chunk for a nice gift. It's not like this is a pot luck at somebodies house.

NER--is this the new normal?

by Wondering--have not been to a wedding in a while

Apr 28, 2017

We received a wedding invitation in the mail, and the couple states that our presence is a gift, but if guests would like, they are asking for guests to help pay for their honeymoon. Is this the new normal? WFIW, I don't really want to help pay for a honeymoon for two 30-somethings, each of whom have high-paying jobs and no student debt! TIA!

Judy2/CA It's common here. When the daughter of a friend of mine got married they had a wedding website. Besides giving the names of places where they were registered they had various other ways you could give gifts - for their honeymoon, dinners, things the groom wanted for his car, etc. A friend of my daughter's asked for Mindy gifts for their wedding lod...See More

SandArt Haha, I agree that cash is replacement of a gift. With the crappy gifts given, I can't blame some people. However, if a family member or friend asked me to buy them a birthday present, especially when I had already planned on it, I would be shocked at their rude question. You want to give someone something, but when they ask before hand.... I dunno...See More

used car suggestions

by ron/nj

Apr 26, 2017

I have a 2002 Lancer sedan and would like to get something newer and reliable. I'm retired and mostly do local driving and have a Dodge Caravan if we travel. I need some suggestions for the less expensive makes. I was thinking Honda or Hundai.

Judy2/CA We have a 2003 Elantra that we love. We have never had a problem with it. Also a 2001 Civic. Love both cars but when we buy a new car in a few months it will be another Elantra.

Positive person Hi Cal-kid! SO good to hear from you! Yes, winter is over on our side of the hill--predictions of weather in the 70's for this week!

The police officer who came to take the report said thieves smooth down the edges of keys and can open doors/start cars that way. DANG!
