I'm planning on driving home around Chicago tomorrow. The snow better be out of my way before then.
I'm not discussing extra holes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
On the flip side of that, I've heard my mom complaining that the one school in the suburb where we lived wasn't really a good fit for me, but there weren't any other options except for private schools. In the city, there would have been other schools to try.
This was exactly the difficulty my mom faced with me. She hated the school in our rural county as much as I did, but the only choice was a private military school (okay, not really an option) and a new-startup private school run by the Church of Christ. She picked the latter. It was the best choice available, and although it was still barely adequate, the good part was I wasn't getting beat up every day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think it's supposed to stop tomorrow morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Except that in NYC all the public schools are so overcrowded that it's next to impossible to change schools after kindergarten unless you move or test into Citywide G&T.

really words to live by.
Jessica I never had to apply for schools, we were half a block from one and we just did a mid-year register and go. When I started investigating all I would have to go through to get testing and an unorthodox IEP I wanted to pull my hair out. Everyone so unhelpful.
I slept until noon. wth body.
still have not finished the freelance work.

The Bloggess [link] offers a solution for those annoying words: swear jars.

Someone mentioned Connections?
I rewatched a few years ago and thought it held up pretty well. It helps that most of what he talks about is WWII-era or earlier. And some of the changes I did see actually made me think. We really do take plastic completely for granted these days, don't we?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How can the Bloggess reliably tell the difference between someone saying "shouldn't have" and "shouldn't of"? That seems rife with imprecision.

I think it is specifically her husband, so maybe it is familiarity with how he says both?
