tza, adopt freddie!

All shelter descriptions of animals make me sad.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Could the MN portion of this board explain again why this man is popular in some areas?

I don't think you're asking the right Minnesotans, dude.

Okay, now I want that dog. And to make Dan and John sing.

I could ask my parents; I think they like him.

I'm sure that mine do, but I'm not going to ask why. Based on their emails, it is because there is an "R" after his name.

whats that black thing across the womans face? it looks like a photograph from 'the omen'

that is my life and work for the rest of this month

Once upon a time Coleman was DFL and I think he got a lot of Reagan Dems when he ran against the ghost of Wellstone.

whats that black thing across the womans face? it looks like a photograph from 'the omen'

It looks like she's saying "Squeeee," which wouldn't surprise me.

I'm pretty sure that's Michelle Bachman, the R that represents the St. Cloud area. I really don't like that woman.

i had chatz with lingy lingberto last night!! we discussed much top secret stuff which i can not reveal to you plebs.

i think a lot of people momentarily like that man because he is not Al Franken. no one in their right mind likes michelle bachmann because she is BATSHIT CRAZY

also i wants secrets

I want secrets, too.

I would take Al Franken any day over Norm Coleman. Make of that what you will.

Okay, now when I open this thread up I immediately see a photo of Norm Coleman and Michelle Bachmann. SERIOUSLY NED, WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?!

Well, it IS getting close to Halloween.

If you lived closer, I'd be walking to your house to wake you up as soon as I had the inevitable Norm-related nightmare. But cruel fate is protecting you.

It is protecting me, by not suffering through Minnesota winters. *smugs, is beaten*

Well, fine, but you don't get to know the joys of ELECTRIC BLANKETS and hot cocoa when it's ridiculously cold out, either, then. SO THERE

the days are getting shorter but they totally feel longer!

BUT the next two days feel too short. Too much to read for Thursday night and kids home after noon tomorrow for MEA weekend. So how I'm supposed to cram all this info into my head with them on my hands I have no idea.

But I'm going to go work out my aggressions on my treadmill and then get into POWERSTUDYMODE!!!

i just remember i have to do an oral presentation tomorrow. booooo.

*remembered

What is MEA weekend?

MY RAY CAESAR LIMITED EDITON (1 of 500) SIGNED AND NUMBERED, WITH LIMITED PRINT ALL IN A FANCY CLOTH-BOUND CLAMSHELL BOX ARRIVED TODAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

i will post pics later, even though none of you probably really care.

ooooh nice. you've been waiting for this for a long time, so enjoy!!!

i'm sorry i never made it to that museum :(

ahh it's okay, it was just a longshot! and anyway now i have a WHOLE GODDAMN book of his stuff (actually, TWO books).

no i should have gone. it wouldn't have been that hard! i am bad at life.

xp MEA is something like Minnesota Educations something or other - teachers all have 2-3 days off; kids stay home and wreak havoc. So I will put them in front of the tv while I study pancreatitis, yay!

RR - yay, you got your stuff!!! :)

can you study making me a powerpoint while you're at it, because i just don't feel like it right now. thx <3 <3

This exchange was funny:

I thought Minnesotans were too nice to say that they WANTED anything.

Oh no, we deny it thrice and then it magically turns into coffee and cinnamon buns.

WHERE ARE MY COFFEE AND CINNAMON BUNS?! ;_;

sorry, tza, I'm deep in the land of lower gastrointestinal problems; you really don't want me creating a power point for you. TRUST ME

in that case the last thing you need is coffee and cinnamon buns

in doing this project, i have decided that future board offenses will be subject to the quick-look rule of reason.

anyway, at least you get coffee and cinnamon buns... i will get... less sleep than i intended.

don't listen to john. you DO need them!

xpost

There are no cinnamon buns here and no coffee. SO SAD.

But since I just spent 10,000 years reading about ulcerative colitis, this is probably for the best. (it's annoying when John is right, but there it is.)

I'm going to bed now, but I am dreading the Norm Coleman/ulcerative colitis mash-up nightmare lurking just below the surface of sleep...

MEA weekend: Minnesota Education Association. It's the annual state teachers' convention. Also a happy autumnal time of year when parents decide it's fun to go to another distinctive MN city for a vacation. So thanks Mom for Mantorville/Rochester jaunt and Duluth trip spent in a hotel room watching all the TV about Reagan getting shot in realtime, but with pool breaks.

mmm, cinnamon buns. I'm having an apple for breakfast. :(

Yesterday I was talking to a co-worker and found out his wife was a school pyschologist. It was a like a light bulb went off in my head. I've been thinking a lot about what I want to go to grad school for, maybe a MA in English teach community college/lecture, public affairs, social work and become a therapist. But the school pysch thing never occurred to me. Do you any of you know anyone who's done this?

this seems stressful! but kudos to you if you do it! also, pls to not be like the shitty social worker i went to at my school's mental health services who basically told me he couldn't help me, that i wasn't trying hard enough, and that i should start taking antidepressants.

well I think most of the career options I'm drawn to are potentially stressful, something I have to find balance in for myself.

School pyschologists, I believe, do a lot of evaluating students for placing them with special services (gifted, ed, ld, etc), help with measurement tools etc. I think there is probably some therapeutic work involved but I don't think that's the primary job function. Someone correct me if I'm wrong! I really need to talk to someone who actually does this.

oh that sounds a lot cooler! so would this be in elementary or middle schools, then? that sounds a lot more analytical and fun (though i feel still stressful).

All levels.

I think some of what appeals to me is not being in a classroom teaching to a test and being subject to the tyranny of small-minded principals (although perhaps I would be subject to the tyranny of small-minded superintendents). I still feel like education is where I belong but just not in the classroom.

They have it animal shelters. To clean yourself before you pet other puppies and kitties.

1 of 500, RR? woah.

wrong thread. duh.

I'm hungry. Should I eat the sandwich I packed for lunch now and deal with lunch later?

I'm thinking yes. I probably have a frozen lunch in the kitchen.

Cinnamon rolls are lovely but let us remember the birth of cinnabutt:

I just ate a plateful of freshly baked cinnamon rolls
