Just make sure to pronounce it BanGOR (like Bang-Gore) so the Mainiac in me doesn't die a little inside.

I have to disagree with the pet food one. Of course it depends on what kind of pet food you get, but if you get one they sell on Subscribe & Save, then you can save a good chunk of change on it.

Example: We get 5 cases of Wellness cat food a month (we have a bunch of rescue cats).

1 case lists at $32.99. That's $164.95…

That's one of the best teaching tricks I know!

This is great and all, but can we start demanding that men stop raping, so women won't have to worry about needing protection?!

Keep in mind that at some schools, the waiting list is NOT up to the professor. Our enrollment system creates a waiting list, and opens up spots automatically as people drop the class. So, students get in touch with me and beg to be added, but I have nothing to do with it. All I can do is encourage students who will…

Fat Boy Drive In in Brunswick, Maine!

We get our Wellness wet cat food from Amazon S&S, and it's about $14 LESS per case than the store!

But it's really terrible cat food! Did you ever read the ingredients??

Can you customize your own tags yet? If that happens, I'll try out OneNote for some qualitative data analysis!

Yup, 1970s born here and I grew up with a TON of Jennifers.

HEY HEY HEY! Wendy is a FANTASTIC name! :)

You'll pry my Danskos from my cold, dead feet. Yeah, I'm one of those professors who wears them EVERY DAY because they're the only shoes I can stand all day in and not have horrible lower back pain. DANSKOS FOREVER.

I'm not manufacturing outrage— just stating a point. There's only ONE woman here. And that's unacceptable.

At least they managed to include one woman. *rolls eyes*

Since I teach in NJ, I'm just glad she didn't get a scholarship to go to my school!

But, yeah, $46 grand is nothing. The last private school I taught at, students paid $52 grand/year. Their parents wrote checks for that, and they drove better cars than the professors.

I'm a former theatre major myself, so I like to say I've developed a SEVERE allergy to theatre kids!

This is supposed to be cute, but in fact it's my worst nightmare, because there's nothing worse than being trapped in an enclosed space and subjected to talent.

I never seem to need to iron— and I wear professional dressy slacks and blouses to teach in every day. My trick is simply to fold RIGHT OUT OF THE DRYER. Like, as soon as the dryer cycle ends, and the clothes are still nice and warm, I fold them neatly, or hang up what needs to hang up. No wrinkles. Ever.

This is sort of true for me because I do laundry on the weekends. So, Monday morning, I'm excited to be able to wear one of my favorite outfits. It's not that I put a lot of effort into it, but it might seem more put together than the rest of the week.

My Dad is the worst at this. He doesn't get the texting thing. So when he wants to ask my brother, or sister a question (we're all adults living in different states) he just uses the group family text message to do so. He even texts my mother to get something at the store— and sends it to ALL of us.

What I usually do…
