I'm planning on driving home around Chicago tomorrow. The snow better be out of my way before then.
I think it's supposed to stop tomorrow morning.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In the city, there would have been other schools to try.
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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'm not discussing extra holes.
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.

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?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Not having read the Bloggess' post, I have to say that I usually make a double contraction out of "shouldn't have" into "shouldn't've." Maybe everyone thinks I'm saying "shouldn't of." Crapsticks.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Your wife "went through" it.
Men don't go through pregnancy, I agree, but there should be some way to describe a spouse's experience, or the experience of someone using a surrogate. Not sure how to say it, however.
