I am going to preface this with I love my husband and he is a damn good guy. However, my sister and her boyfriend of like 5 years have decided to do the Frida/ Diego thing where they live apart and do not want to marry. There are times when I am very jealous. Sometimes I just need a good weekend to myself. My husband…

The bottom line is as long as white men are able to divide us (women) by convincing white women that they are some how protected (spoiler alert, they aren’t it is all about class and money), women will always be held down. All women need to stand up for the rights of all women. Every woman who votes against the…

SO True! I dated a guy years ago, who ended things really weirdly/ abruptly and by text. It was rough, but I moved on. A year later, he texts me out of the blue wanting to “explain what happened/ get closure”. I informed him that I was really happy, had moved on, was dating someone really wonderful (who is now my…

Part of the joy of being able to pass for white (I’m Mexican) is that people say all kinds of racist shit to me, thinking I’m “one of them”. WTF, people?!? Even if I was white, what makes them think I want to hear that shit??? Also once I tell people that I am Mexican, many of them don’t even slow their roll on the…

I saw that test. My immediate thought was about a kid I teach who is non diploma bound, severe learning disability. He could totally get 30/30 on it. I really like the kid and like that he is mainstreamed in with my regular ed kids, BUT . . . 30/30 on that test is nothing to really crow about.

If Trump is in “excellent health” then Dr. Phil is “mental health professional”.

The coconut ones taste like suntan lotion and NOT Mounds as I thought they would.

I hope some unscrupulous nurse or orderly gets into the records and releases them. I realize that would probably ruin that person, but someone has to take one for the team.

The coal thing is mind boggling. Why would you fight to keep a job that is probably one that is killing you? It is hard physical labor that exposes you to a lot of health risks. But you do not want to get training to work in a field that is an area of need and does not require you to sacrifice your health??

I think that is what he is calling it. It looks (from social media because I live hundreds of miles away from them) like he’s just randomly panning for gold in streams, etc around the area. He can’t hold a job, even when family bought them a business they tanked it, so he’s reduced to this. I am not even 100% sure he…

See, they were very self aware on some levels but on others their heads were firmly buried in the sand. For instance the episode when DJ didn’t want to kiss the black girl and Dan had to face his own prejudice. They both had a realization that they wee subtly prejudiced, but to get that old without really thinking…

I could totally see the Connors being Trump supporters. I have some family that is so similar to the Connor blue collar thing who are Trump supporters. I have an uncle who sent my mom (EXTREMELY LIBERAL) an article about how we need to make people who get government assistance work for their money. Keep in mind my…

I think both of them are terrible people. Even though Nancy was the victim, wasn’t she recorded on a hot mic being really awful at some Disney parade or something? I always got the feeling Nancy was a real two face, pretending to be all nice to your face and then talking shit behind your back. A Regina George type. At…

I am in SoCal and when I see people here with Huskies or other cold weather dogs and it is 90 outside I think it is too hot to have that dog in SoCal. We have Chihuahuas and they should not really live in places where it gets too cold. People should take weather into consideration when they adopt a dog. We were…

Yes! We went through a phase of breaking up rough days with crank calls. I’m lucky enough to work with a lot of fun teachers.

Sail on is my JAM!!!

Years ago, a fellow teacher called me on my classroom phone and when I picked it up, she was singing “Get Outta My Dreams (Get into my car)“. Then hung up. Best prank call EVER!!

We really should just feed all students breakfast and lunch. I teach in an upper middle class neighborhood, but have worked in lower socioeconomic status areas and the chasm between the haves and have nots is criminal. I’m in SoCal, so we have the reverse every fall; classrooms without air conditioning when the…

There used to be purplesaurus rex flavor that was already a grape lemonade mashup. What happened to that flavor??

To me, a Mexican, that sounds like something you make to eat with some bomb ass tacos.
