Only 12? What the heck is wrong with her?
Yup.She's not met Una.

But realistically I think maybe 4/5 would be my max a month.

But what if it wasn’t ice cream? What if it were chocolate that was free, or cheese? Would you only get 12 a month?

I’ve also learned that if the price of peanut butter or jelly goes up, so does the price of the other, and vice versa. There’s Adam Smith’s invisible hand for you.

Here's one for you, atat:

UnderRugSwept has a deck built in 1985. The deck is 10x12. UnderRugSwept wants to pretend she owns a real pool by getting an inflatable one and putting it on her deck. How many gallons of water can her deck safely support before collapsing into a pile of boards?

Cheeseee and chocolate are my Kryptonite, but I think even though it was free, for cheese I'd try to only take what I needed. I might eat more, some days but overall a 200g block of cheese will still lasts ages. Heck I've not even finished my 80g packet for this week.

I think there's only so much you can eat before you get sick of anything in excess even chocolate.

I want this one, but it holds 264 gallons:

https://www.target.com/p/intex-120-x...l/-/A-16362241

A gallon of water is apparently 8.34 lbs, and I don't think my deck could hold 2,201.76 lbs.

Hmm.

It's about 95 out right now, so I guess to cool off and bask in the sun at the same time?

Only 12? What the heck is wrong with her?
The other 18 days she gets it in a dish, of course.

This has been a busy week. Last week of school! Woohoo! Sad to say goodbye to my seniors; I had taught many of them for two years. It's also concert week. So, it was a full day of teaching plus three hours of rehearsal each night. My back is killing me; I need a serious massage. We had the first performance (Haydn's "The Creation") last night. Two more to go. What a gloriously fun piece to perform! Next week I teach a PSAT camp, then I'm off to score AP essays. We'll score 1.75 million essays in 7 days. Weirdly fun for English teachers.

Artley, did you not get heating and vibrating lazyboys when you did your reading room? My mom had one, she used to charge her gfs to sit in it! Truly pays for itself. Honestly not that more costly than regular lazyboy.

Hi couchies! Just dropping in to say hello and leave some hugs for those who want/need. My mom and I are getting ready to go meet my son and take him grocery shopping! I haven't seen him 3 days in a row since before he moved out and I am damn near giddy over it!! I was so proud watching him walk across the stage the other night at graduation. I love him so much.

Ha! No. I have bought a cushion to sit on and a small step stool to prop up my feet and change position. Oh, and a fleece jacket because apparently the rooms are freezing.

Reading the psychotherapy subreddit makes me hate those people more than I already do. I sometimes get info from there to use against them at hearings.

AP is scored in Tampa in a convention center. It's the SAT I score at home, in my jammies, in my recliner. The convention center is not nearly as comfortable as my reading room, but I'm looking forward to the trip.

Hello couch peeps. It was a beautiful day out-though I have a horrible sore throat.
The kids I take care of were sick all week with ear infections and other symptoms. (when one twin gets it so does the other). I lost count the number of times I was sneezed on, coughed on, used as a tissue and whatever else. Oh and in the throws of potty training them. Lucky parents. I’m leaving them in a month with 2 potty trained tots. Can’t beat that for a farewell.
