Just an update on this, the specials/electives teachers have expressed their deepest gratitude! You should’ve seen how many boxes were delivered. Thank you again! Elective teachers often get overlooked, so I know they really, REALLY appreciate what you’ve all done for them!

Happy Fall everyone! I /may/ be opening for 1-2 fall themed commissions in the style shown. Please keep your eyes out for a form if interested—depending on complexity, my estimate is around $100. I need to make sure my iPad still works though 😵‍💫 & finish my lesson plans before I open!

First year in a long time I don’t think we will be making it to the Carolina Renaissance Festival this year. I got hit with some hidden fee from Verizon. I’ve been taken in circles with no answer, no credit back, nothing. I’m on representative #3 with nothing to show for it 😑

This will be the last time reposting (I promise!) Thank you SO MUCH for all those who contributed to the teachers at my son's Title 1 School. They could still definitely use the hand sanitizer and treasure box items, if any of you are looking for a place to contribute to educators!

My son's title 1 school is in desperate need of supplies, especially the Specials Teachers (who are FREQUENTLY overlooked). A share can go a long way, I know they'd be so grateful for any share. The supplies get sent directly TO THE SCHOOL! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I know people -_- at wishlists. It's not for me--it's for a local public Title 1 School (if you are unfamiliar, Title 1 schools have a huge low-income population, whose basic needs are not always met). I am a HUGE advocate for underfunded public schools. If you can contribute, that would be a

Sometimes I browse through heritage auctions and I find the occasional odd gem, but today I stumbled upon the mother-load: these ridiculous grocery store ads promoting the release of The Jungle Book, and each one has me absolutely reeling. Sharing them here so you too can share in my bewildered joy

Need some faith in humanity? A former student of mine, who is now a commercial pilot (but also has private planes) offered my friend’s 10 year old (whose dream is to be a pilot) free flights, lessons, and advice on how to achieve that dream. There are still good people in the world 💕

in a fun turn of events this AM, I opened our fridge and all our food went bad because our fridge died. We...just spent $300 on groceries, primarily meats and lost about 80% of what we bought Please consider your teachers when voting. I cannot stress it enough. My paycheck does not match inflation!

Few days ago, my husband had car issues (same day he got the ticket). Found out he needed: New battery, new radiator, new tires, alignment adjustment, new rotors/brake pads. He thought he was being swindled by the trusted mechanic we've used for YEARS who we love. --

things I didn't have on today's bingo card: 1) It was not the car battery, so now car is a the mechanic's 2) hubby got a ticket for a rolling stop so now we have that to deal with (his fault totally, I'm just venting) 3) My cousin (once? twice? removed) just got shot/killed by police.

Any mechanics in here? Is autozone a reliable place to get a new battery? I’ve seen mixed reviews. My husbands car battery died today (or is in the process of being on its last leg, so we think). Or should we just go to our mechanic

Still sick, apparently it’s a sinus infection. Love it when my dentist calls doctors idiots and prescribes me the right medicine (according to him) to help. Lord have mercy I am soooooo over being sick! I have socket gremlins trying to push out my eyeball!
