Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 29/09/2026In the CFL it would have been -10 yards for holding then +15 for the personal foul and a first down. Kinda wish the NFL did the same. It seems more fair as a holding call shouldn’t cancel a personal foul. 010

Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Thanks, Bonnie. Hoping the weather forecast showing rain tomorrow is accurate. That will help take some of the smoke out of the air, and the boil water issue should be done by Sunday. The lettuce is another story 😞 110

Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Wow, tough question because I have so many books that I would love to see as a movie. The first two that come to mind are The Secret Library and The Girl Who Drank the Moon. #kidlitchat 260

Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Sounds good to me — wish I would have thought of that before my reply 😞 #kidlitchat 010
Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 13/05/2026I love getting feedback - even negative. If people don’t tell me where I can improve, how will I know? Giving feedback is harder. I follow the “sandwich” method - positive, not positive, positive. I prefer peach pie, but really any pie isn’t going to last long around me. #kidlitchat 010

Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 22/04/2026For me, it’s because I read it how I “want” to hear it, unfortunately, “want” and reality can be worlds apart. 😞 #kidlitchat 230
Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 22/04/2026This could be another chat… how do you determine when your work is still needs revising and when it’s done? (Although this has probably been asked before) #kidlitchat 160
Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Aren’t “writing” and “revising” interchangeable??? #kidlitchat 140
Pete M @petem.bsky.social · 22/04/2026#kidlitchat Yes! Reading aloud is a great tip. In my head it’ll sound like a great line, then I read it out loud and its like this 👇media.tenor.coma cartoon of a spongebob squarepants sleeping under a blanketAlt: a cartoon of a spongebob squarepants sleeping under a blanket 270
