We need to find classroom space to do it. I may do a morning section and SEIT in the afternoon. <fingers crossed>

I guess it's more than finding someone to let you use some space. There's probably all kinds of rules and shit about what the facilities must be. Certified toxin free, urinals 12 inches from the floor, and that sort of thing. Crossing my fingers for you.

Thankfully with the sequestration the Head Start program may collapse leaving me a space... not how I'd see this go ideally.

yesterday: finding a snake on my washing machine

My wife is coming home tomorrow after full-knee replacement surgery.

Before the surgery, her comments were "just shoot me" and "all I want is 20 minutes without pain.
Now, she's in for a month of major post-surgery pain, but looking forward
to less and less til maybe this new joint will only be a small nuisance.

Monster, we require details, preferably with pictures.

no pics, 8inch garter snake, named Houdini in abstentia

"Adopted" 6/29, mysteriously acquired freedom from tank 1 floor up 30 feet across 7/3, reappeared 7/12

I bought my first pair of Crocs. Hard to believe they are so comfortable

Griff · 07-15-2013, 01:25 PM

I'm not sure your footgear is regulation soldier!

chrisinhouston · 07-15-2013, 02:22 PM

This is the first day since I had my infected wisdom tooth pulled 12 days ago that I have not taken any pain meds! Mostly Ibuprophen or Tylenol, but I've felt the need to take it just about every 4 hours. Swelling in my neck is gone, too.

glatt · 07-15-2013, 02:40 PM

Wow. I'm glad you're happy about that, but that's 12 days of misery.

My Mom went through two of them...the ability to walk without pain (or even roll over in bed) is truly awesome for her.

@LL - hoping your wife will have a swift and uncomplicated recovery. I've met many people who are delighted with their knee-replacement surgery; they tell me they've gotten their lives back. I hope that's the case for your wife.

@chrisinhouston ... getting off the pain meds is great! Glad you've turned the corner. Now you don't have to deal with those GI side effects.

@Big Sarge ... Crocs have become our quick-stick-your-feet-in-them shoes to run outside and grab some firewood or some herbs from the garden. I agree with you, very comfy and convenient!

Big Sarge · 07-15-2013, 05:50 PM

My crocs are camo and are great when you have to go to the latrine at night.

Griff · 07-15-2013, 06:43 PM

Quite a sight Sarge.

Lil Pete's boyfriend has been peppering me with house construction questions all evening. Kids got the itch.
