Posted By
Summerwillcom
We went to Iowa yearly as kids
My memory of these sandwiches back then was they were way smaller, but delicious. After that, I never saw them again.
I don't think any food in moderation is going to hurt you. If you have a...

I do not want to commit to a schedule.

retirement day. I am still a newbie to it. :)

Are you trying to simplify your life?
Posted By
Summerwillcom
I have done the above and a few more.
If I can't do auto pay, I send a check for the year to people like the plow guy. I always have a balance and in the summers pay him for the next yr.

Memories of saving money
Posted By
Summerwillcom
I was poor in my very early years.
I had never learned to save $ and at 1 point, credit was thrown at us. I knew nothing about debt. I learned through the school of hard knocks and Dave Ramsey!
Later in life, I met an old friend in...

Opening jars and bottles help
Posted By
Summerwillcom
I used to be the official jar opener :)
Then my wrists weakened due to CT.
If I have trouble now, I'll take a knife and gently go around the jar smacking the edges of it. It pops kind of.....I am going to try the warm water idea above...

What advice would you give to teachers?
Posted By
Summerwillcom
I could write pages on this! :)
1. Put God 1st in your life.
2. Live your life with your family. ( Put them before school.)
3. Rest, eat as best as you can, laugh, exercise, and make time for yourself.
4. Get a back up degree...

A reminder if you feel tingling....
and suspect Shingles, go to a dr asap.
Even if you have to go to a drop in clinic. I looked back on the meds I took. They are most effective if taken within 72 hours.
I remember the dr telling me...

The world is unkind to those of us who are freakishly tall
Posted By
Summerwillcom
I had the same thought as Tori
You probably should go to classes before trying a video on your own.
Remember if it hurts, don't push it.
I have known a few people who have injured themselves ( not long term) from "pushing it."

Cheating students
Posted By

They cheated.
For the assignments that they cheated on already, I'd give them big fat zeroes.
You want to put the fear in them and other students who are cheating.
Then I'd tell them that you are going to be on...

Thanks for the laugh! :)
I used to go to Yoga classes and often amazed people with my freakish agility.

However, my balance has never been real good.
It has gotten worse with age.

Our public schools were slowly

Best wishes!
I used to love snow days in Ohio. Once I moved to Alaska, they did not have them here. No matter how much snow may fall or ice develops, you have to get there.
