((Whew))

Cat, my professor reminds me of you. VERY enthusiastic about her topic.

I tend to bubble when I'm on a tangent, yes

Pittbull Pooka ..grrr

*Zip!!*

Oof. Sudden burst of emails from my principal. They just added Journalism/Advanced Journalism to my schedule.

HA. Any word on the classroom?

Fortunately, that's a class that I've developed and taught in the past, so not a huge stretch.

Fake News 101 booo 😉

(Don't hurt me)

Jeez, nothing like an excess of prep time

Oh! Ha...yes, I tracked down the Facilities guy. They put down carpet to "contain" the asbestos. Will retile next year.

oh that's comforting.

I am SO hoping that these kids have an INKLING of interest in Journalism, unlike last time I taught it. Those kids thought Fox News was quality journalism because it was exciting, emotional, and entertaining.

*eyeroll*

NPR would be perfect if it had more dramatic stings , a little autotune, and flashy graphics michael bay style?

*ZOOM*

You just wanna get hit, right, Mr. D?

It's one of the all things I've considered

wince You know...that was painful, but I have to give you props.

Thank you 😉

How'd you get exposed to that? Thought they banned NPR out in your neck of the woods!

nobody caught it, but she did just quote a yankee

Hah. Don't believe all you've heard. we even have a Liberal Redneck somewhere on youtube I hear

well

he was also a Met

then he is redeemable and worth listening to nod

Yup

Nice. 🙂

Though admittedly Sigh My vote hasn't counted for squat in this area beyond local for some time now.

Local's what counts this time around.

It counts BIG.

It can add up

is the chat crazy laggy for anyone else?

YES

But then the State Legislature crushes the individual city attempts. Chattonooga actually tried to improve their internet... the horror. Our 'in the pockets of the corporations' State legeslature rewrote laws to protect the monopoly and called it 'preventing government from intruding on free trade' Such BULL

Yeah, I just hit refresh from lurker land, and it's SLOW.

Argghhhh. I hope you wrote angry postcards.

To be honest I did not. I should have. I mostly vented on facebook

and I don't even like facebook

Husband is still writing at least one postcard to our rep just about every day. It's an impressive level of dedication, and compensates for my shameful lack of effort.

Hey, what's the old saying? what's hers is hers, what's his is hers too 😉

"Am I your first pooka?" // Good thing Morth was not in the Garden

LOL

"WHOSE FUR IS THAT ON YOUR SHIRT?"
