Yes. When I was teaching, I had to eat lunch with the kids while being a lunch monitor. I bought my lunch from the cafeteria, at a price higher than kids paid. Nothing compared to my mom who MADE lunch for kids who wanted to come to her for extra help during lunch but their free lunch was the only meal they got most…

I’m gonna speak here on health. I am generally part of the most privileged group (except in so far as I am a woman, which does affect the health issue). I have a couple of chronic medical conditions. When each began I went to multiple doctors of different varieties. It was difficult to get anyone to believe me or take…

yeah I haven’t been since the first day I saw all the articles were written by “staff”

I mean all I need is the grin that he has. Makes me smile! 

I always just think to myself I’m glad that these deals are never for Mac. Because then I would get it and it would destroy my life.

I have seen those too, but I feel like they had 8 shades in them (my days teaching in k-12 were too long ago.)

Yes totally. I can’t find a good neutral “lightest” makeup color either. 

See, I’m a public school proponent. Instead of taking my money and running I thought maybe I could try to change thing a little bit so people with fewer resources weren’t at the mercy of the school district’s decisions.

Yeah... I find it odd because doctors who do those reviews (my husband is on the Peer Review committee at his hospital system (they used to call it Morbidity and Mortality board, or at least they did on ER) ) take it seriously for multiple reasons.

Yeah this may be a by product of the region you are in. In the Northeast megalopolis people seem pretty cautious, and we have been dealing with it for longer than any place other than CA and WA. The population density here is the highest in the country (at least in the part I’m in) so we are relatively cautious. With…

Exactly what I would have said if I weren’t so lazy

I lived just outside the city and was a little older than Birdie Africa/Michael Ward. I remember watching the day of the bombing with my mom who was something of an activist about peace and justice. It wasn’t until later that her rage was apparent, because earlier she was in silent horror. Later we watched news and…

I’ve been married for 16 years last week. We registered and received the set of cuisinart stainless a (two frying pans one sautee two saucepans and stockpot size) we use them all the time and they still look nearly new. So they are a pretty good deal. Probably the only thing on our registry that I would keep there…

because I was curious, I looked at amazon. It seems like buying this disc comes with a steam code. You can then use the code to down load a MAC version from steam

I haven’t slept in the same room with my husband for nearly 10 weeks. (Admittedly this is not necessary for most people). We haven’t even stood within 6 feet of each other in that time. NJ allowed parks to open this weekend, masks required and parking lot reduced to 50% still. We went for a hike, and my first thought…

a lot of people still use TeX in some form. at least a lot of people who do science and statistics because writing equations and models and complex matrices is like a nightmare.

I read your article I thought it was super reasonably stated and clear about what you meant. I also read some of the associated literature. I even sent it on to my husband so he could share it with the infection control people (or maybe that was a different article about sterilization of N95 respirators, or both). His…

Agree generally but after reading some of the articles a simple cloth facemask will protect you more than nothing. A properly fit tested N95 will provide almost 100% protection against aerosolized coronavirus. A surgical mask worn by a person who knows how to properly adjust it (like a doctor or nurse who is used to…

Thanks for posting this I like to watch people fix things on youtube. Even better when they are funny.

Nice job Dad! I grew up with a single mom who was a teacher. That makes you borderline poor. So we were borderline poor.
