pretend chat

[CtTortoiseMom]

I go from flip flops to uggs. It usually goes from warm to cooold!!

The first day of school was cancelled because of Irene . My 5 year old cried. She is so excited to see what this school thing is all about.

 

[Torty Mom]

Erin that is soooo sad, your poor daughter!! The first day is soooo exciting!!!! Seeing life thru the eyes of a five year is one of the reasons I love my job!!! You never know what's going to happen that day! Today I had a group go on a bathroom break, they came back and 1 didn't go, when I asked him why he didn't go, it was my fault because I didn't say "Tommy go potty" ..........momma mia!! My fault..... my helper and I just crack up at things like that!!

The only problem with a chat option I see, is that I would spend way more time here than I already do, I don't know if that would be a good thing.

Well Yvonne, I think you win. Now I agree with adding a chat box of some sort.

Question!!!!!!!
Is anyone on any other forum? I does not have to be reptiles or tortoise, just another forum.
Or more like what other forums are you on?
Me, I am not on another forums.

 

[Jacqui]

I am on several and in different degrees, most are not just turtle/tortoises, but also reptile ones.

Oh I recall those days! The kids would have fingers crossed for school to get cancelled. Of course, when I was in school, I did too.

It takes a special person to be able to comfort, inspire and FOCUS those sweet little minds!!!

Yes, I do need to use glasses, but I already have them on. ... and actually Yes, I do need to go potty.

Sounds a bit like my two youngest. The boy and baby, Josh, was eager because of football, not so much the college part of it. I was lucky, however, my youngest daughter, Ash, came home for the weekend from college. She can be a pain, but geesh I really really miss her when she is gone. Josh, too... especially his muscles for the manual labor value.

I used to belong to about 8 YAHOOgroup listservs. I started spending more time on the computer than doing my work outside, so I quit them all cold turkey. When I finally decided after a couple months that I had kicked my addiction, I came back to the computer, did a GOOGLE search and the first thing I found was our wonderful Tortoise Forum!! I went back to YAHOOgroups and resigned from all my accounts over there. I DO belong to Shelled Warriors because it is in the U.K. and I like to think it might help me answer UK type questions that come up over on this forum.

As to how much time I spend outside...

I go out and clean the horse paddock first thing in the a.m. then I chop food for the baby tortoises and soak them. Then I feed each of the bigger tortoise habitats and clean up after the tortoises. I may have to move sprinklers and water every thing. Right now all my pens' fencing is in good repair, so when I finished taking care of the animals, its usually lunch time and too hot to be outside anyway, so I eat, read and fall asleep because reading made me sleepy. In between all that, I'm a spammers' worst nightmare! on the Forum!!

I for one appreciate you keeping the spammers off.

Sorry Jacqui it was an early night for me. I try not to give a lot of homework b/c I'm aware that my little bit just compounds the "little bit" that every other teacher is giving, especially those darn math teachers--NO HOMEWORK ON THE WEEKENDS! I really love what I do. My students seem to respond well. I've only been teaching for 3yrs so my methods are very "new school". Compared to my last 2 other jobs this is a piece of cake!!!--Police Officer & Response Officer @ a Nuclear Power Plant.

Sounds like you should have been prepared to be a teacher what with those previous jobs.
