   Especially when Luann sees that the kitchen trash bin is still full.

   Kids have no real concept of time. I was born in the late 50’s. When I was teaching, I’ve had high school — AND college kids — ask me what life was like during WWII.

   P.S. This happened while I was in my late 30’s!

   Maybe not an alien head, but the skull of the last tourist who didn’t read the sign and opened the door.

   Sadly, many of his executive orders WILL have a direct and almost immediate impact on food prices — in the negative category. Already many farm workers, both undocumented and legal residents, are not showing up for work because they’re terrified that ICE will show up and deport them. No farm workers means no produce is picked, no eggs are gathered, no food is processed for delivery to stores, and the end result is a spike in food prices across the board.

   And to the folks who voted this orange menace back into office: Yay for your team. Enjoy your $10.00 egg.

   Way too old to still be living at home, sponging off of Mommy and Daddy.

   Some guys need the 2×4 treatment:

   Smack him in the head with a 2″×4″ piece of lumber. “Hi. Now that I’ve got your full attention . . .”

   I did have at least one student on the spectrum who had a very difficult time grasping the concept of there being more than one correct answer; he would give a very solid and supported analysis, but when another student gave an equally thorough but different answer and I validated it as also correct, he’d hang his head as if he’d given a very wrong interpretation.

   It took the entire semester and a lot of one-on-one conferences with him before he was able to accept that, at least in English lit, there could be multiple correct answers. He finished the semester with an A- grade.

   THANK you! I taught college English lit for years, and at the beginning of each semester, I told my students that in their interpretations of a work of literature, there would most likely be more than one correct answer/analysis. If they could support their analyses with evidence from the text, then their interpretation would be correct.

   More than a few students had the hardest time wrapping their minds around the fact that there could be multiple right answers, after years of being taught the “there’s only one right answer” method of learning. Fortunately, many looked upon the alternative analyses with a greater interest in the lit. :)

   Brach’s still makes the Christmas Tree soft peppermints, with the green tree in the center. They’ve added two new flavors to the original peppermint: Wintergreen and Cinnamon.

   The wintergreen is very nice, but I give the cinnamon ones to the kids, who absolutely LOVE them!

    Can’t quite make it out: William Henry or Willicoot Henry?

    And what, exactly, is a Willicoot?!?
