Many Yahren ago, I ran a movie theatre. I wold get $200 in halves each change order, because tickets were $4.75 (Couple=9.50).
Universial reaction was topick it up, sport a WTF look, and run to the consession stand to spend it.
Bank thought I was nuts. Owner was convinced I was whacko. He never tied the halves to the fact that I had the highest per head for consessions in the chain…

Home from school and shopping. I should be writing a behavior intervention plan but I’m not. Hopefully I’ll get started on that really soon.

Smart! Does this work with gold coins too?
You almost always get those weirdos who like to collect 2 dollar bills, half dollars, and gold coins and they would rather horde them than spend them. I knew one old dude at the VA who had about $500 in 2 dollar bills he walked around with in a binder, with the story of the two dollar bill and the fact it depicted John
Hanson, the fist President of the US before it was the US. He claimed Hanson was black, but the black John Hanson was actually Senator John Hanson, a politician from Liberia. I didn’t have the heart to correct him, because really what would have been the point?

Yeah, what he said!
Maybe you could repurpose that jar for your insulin, and put a giant big red cross on it or something that lets her know it’s NOT to be ‘accidentally’ thrown out. :smack:

I may not have much in the way of material things but I am now an Uncle X2. World meet Sebastian and Peyton. My Sister delivered the twins just now. Everyone is fine so far, the boys are a little early but seem ok. Sister is in surgery but she had a circlage, she is ok. Will post pics asap. My Mother is finally a Grandmother. I get to teach boys about explosives and firearms, yes! Just so you know my three nieces get this education as well. EOE

Ok, I think I’ve started breathing again. Today is the day. I just checked my scores and
I passed my Special Ed Praxis!!!
Not only did I pass, but I got a slightly above average score. _(Not that this matters, but really, it is kinda cool)_. I have one more Praxis to take in January on principles of teaching, although from what I’ve heard, the one that I just took was the harder of the two. Believe me, though, I’ll study like crazy for the next one.
And also, in other good news:
Happy, happy birthday, **phoukaroo**!

Congrats, **Sticky**! I sorta dealt with several Praxis days with my daughter, so I know whereof you speak. Good on ya!
Yay for new babies, especially the kind that don’t live with me! 😃
What the heck - hugs and gropes all around, just because!! It’s a chilly, rainy morning - we’re too far east to get the flurries that the other end of the state has. I’ve got another day ahead of me of fighting SolidWorks, with the added bonus of having a new version dumped on my 'puter overnight - we’ll see what 2013 has to offer.
After work, I get to do some laundry - YAY!! :rolleyes: Plus I have a chicken carcass that got boiled this weekend - I see chickie soup for supper. And, um, I dunno - it’s a day of potential surprises ahead. How exciting to be me!!
**Happy Kanga Day!!**
And to the rest of ya - Happy Tuesday!
