Busted my forehead open by head-ramming the tri-roof birdcage...

Lots of streaming blood...very cool. :lol:

BTW, I have 2 parakeets named Fluffy and Jellybean.

Good evening.

Doing work all night. Tomorrow night is a school board meeting that hopefully many of the teachers in my district will attend and voice their opinion about the possibility of cutting teachers.

First topic on the agenda? Voting to approve spending $8,200 on warm up jackets for the sports teams. ::facepalm::

Sounds like the school I went to. Talks of starting a la crosse team while being unable to update books that are 3-4 editions (6-8 years) behind. I understand that some books don't change enough in that time but in this case, they do. Or at least increase the number of books/buy replacements for the ones that are falling apart.

In other news, I found out today that once I finish my Masters I will be qualified to teach in a 4 year college if I wish.

Agreed. Congrats on being able to teach at the college level. That's definitely something that I want to pursue one day.

That's a lot of money. Make them buy their own.

Exactly. It's a privilege, not a right.

Scott; warmup jackets and such should be athletic fund raisers......NOT budget lines.

Bingo. Even parents of the students who are on the team are saying that. Hopefully it gets shot down.

Do you have a Champions button Tony?

I tried it in a 180pt, Sweet Spot sized one-touch, and it was still a little tight.
