Morning peeps!

Tinky, that was really rude and insensitive of that guy. Sorry you had to go through that. What is wrong with people? I remember the first time I was in London I was eating at a Pub and this drunk American woman says to the waitress very loudly "I'm glad you decided to keep it" the waitress looks confused and very politely asked "I'm sorry ma'am, keep what?" Which the drunk responded "The baby". The poor waitress ran away with tears in her eyes. Another waitress told her she would take the table. Any moron would've realized the girl was over weight and not pregnant. Again, what is wrong with people?

That's all I've got.

Morning all!!

yeah, people suck. Before I got the Invisalign people used to come up to me all the time to let me know how great their dentist was, etc. If it was in private, it'd be one thing. But no matter what good intentions you may have, calling out someones possible insecurities in a public setting is never a right thing to do. Oh well. It made me feel crappy all day but I went home and had a good run.

So happy it's Thursday! And I'm not complaining about the nice warm weather but that being in conflict with the heat in my apartment caused a crappy night sleep.

Don't worry. You'll be fine tonight. Cold front moving in.

Supposed to be in the 30's tonight. So glad I have heat in the house now. Being I got forced hot air now I bought a humidifier for the bedroom. It really does help.

One of the fortunate things of the new apartment is I now have a knob on the one radiator in the living room that helps me regulate it. SO between that and the much better air current path, this winter should be a bit more moderate I hope. But I am still considering a humidifier. But first is this wine/hutch/bar thing I found. Which will compliment the wine throw pillows I got last night.... someone might start thinking I have a problem....

I need to bring out the humidifier. Cold this morning. Parent teacher conferences tonight.

I highly recommend this humidifier. This is a great price too.

How far is that from home? Mrs. Brd and I will start taking the train together soon. She will be working in the loop.

It's not the wine we're worried about, Tink. It's the cats.

Zander does not approve of Deet's comments.

I am sure Max agrees with Zander.

Why do they bother having a teacher's convention? I don't think one teacher I know (and there are many) ever goes. One is seeing Cinderella today with her kids, another is down the chilly, wet beach, and my own Goddaughter is on some island with the kiddles, husband and their pilot friend and his wife. Make the damn thing mandatory, or don't have it and everybody go to school!!

Just bought 50 mini's from Melissa's Cupcakes to bring to a dinner tonight. Yum.

Good morning, kids.

Actually, Girly, 40,000 teachers attend each of the three days. It's the worlds largest teachers convention. They didn't have it last year due to Sandy.

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 11/8/13 at 7:32am

Yes, I remember. I still think it should be mandatory. All I know, school was never closed for teacher in service days and all this other nonsense, when I was in school back in the dark ages.

Congrats to my friend, Lauren who is high kicking her way for the first time through opening day for the Rockettes.

I always figured that the Jersey "professional days" were sponsored by the tourism industry at the shore. When I was in elementary school all Maryland schools were closed on the second Thursday and Friday of October every year for a professional conference that all teachers - public, private and parochial - attended in Baltimore. Not sure when they ended that, but it was a nice break we kids counted on every year.

A bit a of a frosty morning out there today. I'd actually love a hard freeze one of these nights to kill off all the leaf mold.

Teachers have had off on the Thurs./Friday for the NJEA convention for the 25 years that I've worked here. I went for about 15 years. Many of the northern NJ schools have off the entire week. You'll find those teachers in Florida, or the islands, this week.

Which can be very educational, I'm sure!
