I have a feeling this is going to be a big-ass rep, so brace yourselves.
Happy Release Day, lwalker!
1+ Can someone kindly rep me since lwalker's gone to bed?!
Speaking of not being deterred, I joined this email job list specifically for educators looking to work in the field of German and got a listing for what is basically my dream job, only that it's not teaching. It's in New York and I probably don't have a shot at this at all, but hey, you never know, right...?
Don't undersell yourself, Ms. Brilliant. Great news about the feedback.
Thus, this kind of freak weather makes me think that humanity finally went too far and we're all about to die messy revenge-deaths.
Me too, Lily. We've gone from -43 Celcius yesterday, including windchill, to a projected high of plus 5 this weekend. Our normal should be ~minus 20, and we're known for weather change, but this is ridiculous.
i also checked in with cuddles and his firm
is closing and he's working on being acquired
by another--so super busy. we miss you cuddles!
Thanks for checking in with him, Cindy.
Good luck, Steve-O.
^ Can I just say that the anticipation of preggers Blond and the resulting mini-Blond/mini JL fills me with delight? Because it does.

Yes, the drugs are everywhere in every type of school. I told both my kids when they hit seventh grade that what they did from that point on was going to help determine their future, so their choices are their own and they're going to have to make the right ones. It seems to help for them to have the responsibility of making the choices themselves based on thinking about consequences, rather than just doing or not doing something because their parents told them to.
This is how we work, too.
sunna and other fitnicks, have you heard of Fitocracy? (As if you need another social media site.) It's like a mini Facebook with challenges and points built into the posting and profile. Rather neat.
Ye gods, x-cin. And no, no homeschooling for us either. Thaaaat would be my personal nightmare.
I wasn't keen on the idea either, but we almost went this route for my son when he was in grade 5. There are a number of models here. The one which appealed was to have him take his core courses through an online program, then have his music and sports, etc., organized formally with others. We decided he needed more socialization than this would provide, but he's not made for the factory school system. Fortunately, we were able to find a school that fit his personality.
Eep on the talk about private schools and tuition. You guys have a system that's so different from ours, it might be from another planet.
wait, a newer puglet is a lawyer too, i believe?
That's Chan, I believe.
There are a few around here, yeah. I have cousins who went to Phillips. The one I mentioned is called G0vern0r's Academy. It used to be called Governor Dummer's Academy, but they changed the name a few years ago for obvious reasons lol.
A junior high in our city is called Vernon Barford.

LynDee, rep meeee!
I don't get the koala-turnip thing either. *is confused*
For the past...year, Red's avatar has been a koala holding a turnip with the caption "query koala turnip." I would assume that means she either has a Rat Rool of her own, she tired of the image, or she tired of querying. Red?
LGwenn, if you're repping, I want one!
In better news I'm reading a lot. Next up is A D1SC0V3RY 0F W1TCH3$ - has anyone read it? I hope it's good.
Blue read it and recommended it far and wide.

In more delightful news, my cloven darlings, I designed and commissioned
a Krampus springerle mold for cookies, papercraft, whatever.
I don't bake, so I'm not in, but very cool.
