I was an educational assistant at our local high school in New Jersey....I absolutely loved working with the high school kids--if I had it to do over, I would have become a guidance counselor. :)

Same here....although sometimes I feel like one anyway. I got the most wonderful note from a student the other day. She had gotten a Red Star award for being "most improved student". She gave me her red star and wrote that it would not have been possible if it weren't for all I have done for her and that I should keep the note forever so I will always remember how much I mean to her.<<<lipquiveringeyeswellingup>>>>She addressed it to Dear Mom (she sometimes calls me that)

OMG - what is the current acceptable answer for "what is your biggest weakness??????" Can I say.....staying in my pj's too long? Eating too many nuggets? Mowing my lawn every 10 days to two weeks instead of every week, like all of my Stepford neighbors? Trapping cars that try to tailgate and pass? spending too much time with me sillies?

:lol:

Yes, yes . . . another good way to sabotage this prospect . . . vomit during the interview.

OR: vomit on your resume, then send it along. That outta do it..... :lol:

Me too! Bev, you are closer than I am. About 8 hours driving, not counting the delay at the border, for me.

Oliver, the giant ginger tabby seen in two of the pictures I shared, may have some Maine Coon in him.

Like all of our cats, he is a rescue, so we don't know his background. He has been with us since October of 1996. He is 30 inches long and weighs 22 pounds. He is gentle and sometimes follows us around.

Becky, the brown tabby that you have seen from time to time in my avatar, probably also has Maine Coon in her. The consensus seems to be that one of her parents was a Maine Coon. She was rescued as a stray in 2000 at the age of two.

Laura must join the party!

Last year I got a note from a girl that said, "Thanks for helping me become a better person". Things like that remind me why I'm there.....becaus for every one you are able to reach out to, there are a gazillion hormonal freakazoids that you couldn't get across to if you hit them with a baseball bat!! :huh::lol::lol: ( I really do love my job! :P )

OOH!....reminds me of a story.....

Two years ago, near the end of the school year, I read some poems written by a boy for a class assignment and thought they were awesome...so I asked him if I could copy them.

A couple days later he brings me a notebook and asks if I wanted to read some more of his poems.

I read them and thanked him for sharing them with me. ( Many were dark and disturbing, but yet very well written) and I expressed my concern.

I got a long note from him explaining how he no longer feels that way and how thrilled he was that I enjoyed his poetry and that he'd never shared them with anyone before.

He was an 8th grader at the time and moving on to HS.

Over the summer he e-mailed me often, talking about problems with friends, parents, and eventually that he realized that he was homosexual (which I already figured out)

I always gave him parental-type advice in a way that I thought he would listen.

....Then he met someone and proceeded to tell me about this first encounter with another boy....Tongue and all!!!! :o TMI!!!! :o:o:o

Or......maybe someone would conk you in yer noggin and you could.....pass out er sumfin.

Hehehehe I swear misssteaks just >JUMP< out at me w/ only a glance :blink:

Always thought I'd make a good proofreader.

:lol: do they do job-sharing down there? :huh::lol:

Full-timeness would be a big step, 'twouldn't't?

ONLY other skill is coloUr I.D.? What about that vertiver biz? :lol:

Oh....maybe just my ear, or from the forehead up, so I wouldn't have to put on makeup....

OMG - it's VETiver, not vertiver BTW. :lol: And..........well that skill is partially innate - the nose and all - but I surely couldn't get a job at it, punkin. :lol:

Worse, she probably spent a lot more time than we were originally led to believe inside her crate. :(:angry: So, all this activity, including the long romps in our backyard with Gus, may be a big shock to her system. I'm just not sure......

Let's hope that this is the case and she just needs to build up her leg muscles a little :)

I just sent my resume to the gal. I may vomit. :huh:

Gosh, I know that feeling. It's going to work out fine, Susie--you don't have to do anything you're not ready for ;) And there's no shame in that :)

Patti, I meant to mention that you would absolutely make the BEST guidance counsellor EVAH. Man, would I love to be heading into your office as a screwed-up teenager. You should do this! :)

Yes . . . I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass also . . . It' just a quick 11 hour drive :P . . . but, you know, price of gas and all that . . .

Em - here's hopin it's something simple . . . just some over training or such . . . needs to warm up, stretch more . . . perhaps she should start off with some Yoga . . . I bet she'd be good at downward facing dog.

Morning Sillies!!!! I see you typing Em!

Jess---any new Kitty news???? I thought about you last night when I hugged my lion.

So who is all in for the Silly Summit??? And when is it going to take place? I am game!!!

elye Community Regular

Morning, All!!

The Philly Silly Psummit....I am getting SO excited about this. I was thinking about it late into the night...

Last year I got a note from a girl that said, "Thanks for helping me become a better person". Things like that remind me why I'm there.....becaus for every one you are able to reach out to, there are a gazillion hormonal freakazoids that you couldn't get across to if you hit them with a baseball bat!! :huh::lol::lol: ( I really do love my job! :P )

Lisa, you must be terrific at what you do...One must be, to illicit these kinds of responses and interactions with even the most open of teenagers. Those kids are lucky to have you!

Now, my diplomat students....SIGH....dunno what they'd say if asked whether or not they felt lucky to have ME. :lol: Tell ya one thing, however - - their responses would be completely free of all misplaced modifiers and dangling participles. I hope. <_<

Sorry sillies....I can't get on the Philly bandwagon :( ......I absolutely detest car trips!

Lisa!! How long a drive is it? Are you as far from Philly as Janet is? You could come together, and take driving shifts, and entertain each other so that the time just whips by!

OMG!!!! They're ALL going to Silladelphia!!!! :D:blink:

[Edit oh .. ..not ALL]

Ptaoughmnhgmn!!!

Hmmmmmmm....how do we get you there.....

We'll have to think of somefin' for you and Susie....

Em - here's hopin it's something simple . . . just some over training or such . . . needs to warm up, stretch more . . . perhaps she should start off with some Yoga . . . I bet she'd be good at downward facing dog.

Yes! Or pilates, to strengthen her doggy core... :rolleyes:

I'll find out this afternoon.

jerseyangel Proficient

Mornin' Sillies....

Quick note since I'm off to the Chiropractor in a few minutes. (crack) :lol:

Em, good luck at the vet today--will be anxious to hear, and pray it's nothin' serious.

Amanda--you in for the Sillie Summit? ....And yes, we must find a way to git our friends out west here for this historic meeting B)

Sun's out here this AM, more rain later <_< .....basement report: new sump pump is working beautifully (and constantly) as well as the new dehumidifier! :D Operation dry-out is working!

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed myself with gastritis as it seemed the feeling of nausea and in my case burning in the stomach pointed to it.  I went onto a gastritis/reflux diet and that really helped.   Have a google - there are tonnes online.  That meant avoiding spicy, greasy food, onions, tomatoes, coffee and alcohol.  (Actually, I don't drink, but I did toast someone during that time at a baptism and it set my stomach on fire.)   Instead of drinking strong coffee, I drank water, camomile tea, warm ginger water... so soothing.  I would not go to bed with a full stomach when things were bad, I would let my stomach rest from say 8pm to 8am, which really helped.   My husband and I then decided to buy a new oven and to buy a new dishwasher - we did need new ones anyway.  The new oven had two compartments, gluten goes in one, gluten free in the other.  The new dishwasher was a Miele which does a full rinse with clean water before washing the dishes.  But before I could afford a new dishwasher I would hand wash the dishes and make sure they were really rinsed well, no residue  (unlike our old dishwasher that was really not rinsing well at all). I stopped eating out for quite a few years - I think this is a biggy - although I would have coffee and soft drinks out. Eventually, my levels normalised.  What of the above was the 'silver bullet'?  I am not sure, but finally I did feel a lot better.  Occasionally I will take an over the counter PPI (omeprazole) or a small dose of Gaviscon, but most of the time I don't need them now. I'm not expecting anyone to go to all these lengths, but it could be that one or two of the tips I give you might work.  Don't give up hope! Cristiana
    • RMJ
      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.
    • SMK7
      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?  
    • RMJ
      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
