Tomorrow, I'm going to the bank to pay off my mortgage. 20 years, 4 months, all me. I could do it online, but I actually want to go and sit down with someone because it feels like a really big fuckin' deal to me.

Our students are not required to turn on their cameras. The ones who have are mostly in their pajamas, sitting in their beds. Who cares, as long as they are doing their work?
Here is Betty White. And here is the shoe that I would like to put on. As probably any dog owner would do, I am going to go find a different pair of shoes 😅😅🙄

Marlies, I don't think I've seen you here before, but your tweet caught my eye. As someone who also has an exit plan for when my time comes, I applaud you. I hope you have had a good life. Good for you for leaving on your own terms.🫂💙💙💙

You could give an awfully good life to a senior pet. They so desperately need love and are generally so easy to care for. I've taken in 5 senior dogs. EVERY one was the very bestest dog. 🥰 This is KC. She's the latest. She's 15.

This gets easier as one gets older, too, and one has no fucks left to give. I have no problem saying "Separate checks, please." I know not all places will do that, though, so I just make sure I'm only paying my part.
Betty White is the most passive pupper I have ever had. I took her in for a dental at 8a and the vet called at 9a and said "She's done and I didn't need to use anesthesia. Betty White let me clean her teeth." 😮🥰

The replies here are killin' me! I have a king bed and because I wear pajamas, I sleep two weeks on one side and then two weeks on the other side. It keeps the wear on the mattress even. So, my sheets get washed every 4 weeks

I'm kinda having a sad night. My vet called today to let me know my dog has a malignant melanoma on his tongue. My dog is a very good boy and my world will not be quite as bright without him😢
I'm staying with a friend for a couple weeks and things have been going swimmingly. I've just discovered that she only has Miracle Whip in her refrigerator and no mayo and now I have to go home.

I recently replaced both of my toilets myself, with the help of my 90-year-old dad. I actually gave myself a pat on the back for that.😃 And then I replaced three ceiling light fixtures with just dad's supervision.

I've heard they are wonderful, but I don't have personal experience with one. I sleep very hot, so I almost always sleep with just a sheet over me.
"Last month, new data from the Reuters Institute showed that the United States has one of the highest news-avoidance rates in the world. About 4 out of 10 Americans sometimes or often avoid contact with the news — a higher rate than at least 30 other countries."
@WmDeanFrench
100% agree with this. I have taken in five senior dogs that people chose not to keep. Every single one of them was the best dog ever. Betty White is number four. Number five is still with me, as well.

I have an exit plan if something like this happens to me. I want every state to have a Death With Dignity law for those of us who want that option.
Good beautiful day to you!👋😃 I am going to stay off Twitter now until the inauguration over so I can enjoy the coverage. Currently watching Trump fly the fuck away.

ONE of my high school students completed his online course in the 4th quarter. A handful did 2-3 assns. Most did nothing. This was typical. Not completing online work SHOULD NOT have been considered and this child SHOULD NOT be incarcerated.

My 86-year-old mom mentioned that she met a very nice Oriental lady while on her walk. I said, "How about if you just said you met a nice lady on your walk. Would you say 'I met a nice white lady on my walk?'" I'm still not sure she really got it. She is a product of her times.
As some of you know, my mom moved in yesterday. I'm wondering if it's just my mom or lots of old people. Do old people just futz around? Like when I'm getting ready to leave, I just grab my shit and go. It took her like 15 minutes to get out the door to walk her dog.
What's the favorite car you ever had? When I was in college, I bought an old MGB. Had it painted and reupholstered. I loved that car. I felt cool driving it. Honestly, though it was a piece of shit and broke down all the time 🙄

I am child-free by choice. Not once have I ever regretted that choice. I was not cut out to raise children. Someone's got to rescue the dogs, right?

I try to convince my high school students of this all the time. I tell them you will always make good money and you will always have a job. I doubt a single one of them has ever paid any attention.
I just received an email from a former student (10 years ago) thanking me for making an impact on her and now I'm crying and it's the best thing that's happened to me in months.😭😭😭😭 If you have/had a favorite teacher, please write to them.
@DickKingSmith
My 88-year-old dad is long-retired, likes to make things and needs "jobs." I am going to suggest this to him and we can take them to dog parks around the city!

💯 I am a public school teacher and although I don't shitpost about my school or district specifically, I often do about education. I have no desire to have students, staff, or admin know who I am😬 Perhaps I will feel differently after I retire.
A while ago, I saw a tweet about a shortage of frozen chopped spinach. I thought "Ha ha! That's funny! This is a joke, right?" I've now been to the grocery store 3 times in the past 3 weeks to get it. There is none. Who is eating all the frozen spinach?😡😡

I'm a teacher. I don't have lists. I need nothing. I hope every teacher who has a list gets what they need while I rant and rage that this is even necessary.🤬🤬🤬 FUND EDUCATION!

My friend was a NICU nurse and loved her job until she was told she was going to be floated to a COVID floor. She pretty much said, "Fuck that shit" and quit. Now, she's teaching nursing at the high school level. She's thankful she didn't have to endure any abuse from patients.
Do you have a single friend who lives alone and doesn't work and wouldn't be missed for a few days if they died, alone, in their house or apartment? Reach out to that friend and ask them to send you a text/emoji every morning just so someone knows they woke up and are alive.
