Teachers Chatboard

Elaine/ret/IN Good plan, Flacka.

I always check the web and try to shop on senior citizens day. Half off. If I get home and don't like it I donate it back.

Sorry I've not been around much lately. It's been mostly due to internet issues. I have definitely missed the surveys. That you, AM, for the great Thanksgiving survey- -I enjoyed it.

Well, here's my latest: 1. Which, if any, of the winter holidays do you and your family observe and/or celebrate? 2. If you could afford it, would you retire...See More

Betty Ann 1. Which, if any, of the winter holidays do you and your family observe and/or celebrate?

We'll be celebrating Christmas (and a little bit New Year's). This year our family celebration won't be until Dec. 29 (son's family will be away). We will observe Christmas Day by going to church and having dinner with my elderly mother and, possibly,...See More

EXERCISE ROLL CALL for Sunday

by judycaret

Dec 18, 2016

Walked my 10,000 steps with a friend this morning. Very cold for California--it was 33 degrees.

Elaine/ret/IN Send us some heat, Judy. (-11F predicted for 8:00 a.m. tomorrow) Of course, you probably don't have the winter gear like we do. Great walking.

No exercise for me today. And, I blame "life," not the cold--ha! We took the grands to Piz*** Hut for dinner tonight. "Sure, you can order spaghetti instead of pizza." What was I...See More

bathroom countertop

by Oldie but goodie

Dec 18, 2016

We have been homeowners for nearly 40 years and are undertaking our first inside renovation project - our master bath. The top of the vanity will be "cultured granite" and we have many options, including a glossy or matte finish. It will be a dark gray or blackish color - any pros or cons to one finish or the other?

Elaine/ret/IN I have black granite in the kitchen and it shows white spots (i.e. toothpaste, I'm guessing). The gray might be easier to maintain.

Interesting question by an 8-yr. old

by Old Regular

Dec 13, 2016

Often children ask me what my favorite color is or something like that.

I was doing an assessment of an eight year old boy. He was very conversational. Out of the blue he asked me: "What are you most afraid of?"

I found this unusual and kinda deep coming from a young child.

Deb ms/IA I would take this question two ways:

1. Is this child going through something in his/her own life to make them ask an adult this question? What was the tone of this question? Was the child happy to ask this question? Contemplative? or Sinister? If it was sinister there is something deeper going on. I say this from the experience of a foste...See More
