What do you have against my car? It's so cute!

You shut your mouth! I get 31 mpg on my 10 year old Cooper S.

I'd go to that party.

Hey y'all! I need a turkey rice casserole recipe, that is sans cheese. I know, I know, but I'm trying to lay off the cheese a bit, and give my poor gastrointestinal track a rest. Small amounts of milk are okay, and I am not opposed to incorporating cream of mushroom. I just want to avoid the recipes that ask you to…

When I taught The Outsiders to my 8th graders last year, I showed the movie at the end of the unit. I thought my girl students were going to pass out from lust. It was hilarious watching their expressions and hearing their whispers. "OMG WHO IS THAT." "He's soooo hot."

No, I need low-level high interest books for my reluctant readers. Plus, they make great into books to introduce topics. Especially ones with pictures. I can throw them on the doc cam and we can explore the books as a class. I hadn't seen that Iceman book, although we have the Lascaux book by the same publisher in our…

You are welcome! It's a super common skin thing.

Ooh, I need that book for my classroom. Ötzi is part of my Neolithic age curriculum. I teach 6th grade ancient world history.

I used have really consistent buttne, until it dawned on me that I could use my oil-free acne face wash on my butt. It's like my version of windex. Wash my face, a little on the chest (especially after a run), a little on the bikini line (totally helps prevent ingrowns), and a little on the butt. I don't even really…

YES.

It is highly likely that Ötzi was murdered. He has defensive wounds on his hands and an arrowhead lodged in his shoulder. He also took a serious blow to the back of his head. Poor guy...

What a fascinating, moving and lonely article. Thank you for sharing.

Usually I would read your comment and roll my eyes, because it's purposefully inflammatory and I know you are just looking to get folks ire up. As someone who teaches middle school and is charged with keeping my students safe, I look at your comment with side-eye. It doesn't really sound like you know much about…

I see a lot of folks questioning the logic behind keeping retail stores closed vs those that have "essential" jobs. It certainly is a question worthy of examination. I personally worked 13 Black Fridays and I hope that I will never have to repeat the experience. My completely biased opinion is that retail workers need…

Who cares if the show doesn't nail the lawyering part? HTGAWM is delightfully soapy, and Ms. Davis is a powerhouse! I love OTT TV. It's why I loved True Blood to the bitter end, and why I love Scandal, despite the gross Fitz obsession. (Ugh, can't we ditch him? He's so... icky. I haven't watched this week's episode…

Kids like this guy are one of the true highlights of being a teacher. I have some real hams in class and I laugh every day. He was spectacular!

Hmmm, I live in NorCal hippie-vile and was surprised to see how red our state was. Then I remembered Southern California. Up north, it's all about fugly earth shoes and the like. (Obvious exception being San Francisco power-players and maybe the Real Housewives of Walnut Creek(TM) or whatever. )

I wish I had been sorted and steered when I was a kid. It would have saved me a lot of angst in my twenties if I had had a clear cut path to a career back then. Finally, at 34, I am working in a career I both am good at and enjoy.

I'm on the West Coast, in an inner-suburban school. Talking to teacher friends, lock-down drills are pretty much everywhere now.

Today I had to explain to my 6th graders that we were having a lockdown drill, and I also had to go over the protocol for "shelter in place" vs. "active shooter" lockdowns. You know, basically every teacher's (and parent's and human being's) worst nightmare.
