Hello all.

Today was a busy Monday. School of course, but then I had a meeting after that. The meeting went later than expected, but it is ok. The meeting was regarding some new opportunities for me in terms of teaching. Ohio allows high school students to take college courses for college and high school credit. While this program has been around for a long time, it recently changed to allow high school teachers who meet criteria set up by universities to teach the college level courses in the high school itself. My meeting tonight was with a local university to set up these classes. So, I will be able to offer my government, US History, Sociology and World Religions classes for college credit. There is of course some additional work on my end, but it is a great opportunity for my students next year and moving forward.

Good luck with your new project. Sounds great for the kids!!
Have a good day!

Morning! We had a lot of rain last night but if the temperature was 5 degrees colder we'd be digging out from probably 18 inches of snow. I'll take the rain instead and wind. But today we will see a little more rain but not as bad as last night. Wednesday/Thursday look to be beautiful days for late January before a more normal chill hits in for the weekend. Not sure if anyone realizes but...1 month ago was Christmas Eve...11 to go. That amazes me because this will probably seem like the "longest month" and yet it went by so fast. Have a great Tuesday!

It sure has been a rainy January!!
I didn't realize ... I guess it IS the 24th. WOW!!!!
Have a great day Edge!

Morning all!! We got a inch of sleet overnight and now have 2 inches of heavy snow on top of it. Looks to be a nasty day outside and from texts..the plow trucks are just now getting out....

Hope you can stay in today!!!

Good Tuesday morning! Freezing rain and snow on the menu today. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift, not looking forward to going out. Seems I caught my husband's cold. His lasted only 4 days, hope it will be the same for me. Have a great day everyone!

Oh no. Hope you feel better quick!! Stay safe out there!!

I think alot of the Toy shows do that since they arent as big as Comic Con's. Although 100x more money is exchanged at a Toy Show. You havent lived until you watch a Star Wars nut pay 2000.00 for a Fine Molds Millenium Falcon model. I kind of think I was told at that show, the actors were flown,housed,fed by the companies. The money they made from pics,autographs and a cut of the entrance is what they used to make. I believe some actors even sold merchandise where they would sit and autograph it.

Sounds like standard practice at celebrity shows that feature older actors---the show handles some or all of the actors' travel and accommodations, and the actors charge a fee to fans for photographs, autographs, and merchandise. I believe the show gets a cut of the money the actors take in.

Greetings, MMC!

Hope you're all doing well~

We are doing pretty good, enjoying the winter weather in Northern Wisconsin =]

Things continue to be busy on our end.
We have filled a position at work, but one of my bosses recently had surgery and is out for a few months, so not much slowing down in the future.

Harlowe is still having health issues, fingers crossed she gets relief soon.
We are going to try her dental surgery again next month. A bit worried about that but know it's very important for her.

My FIL is still struggling, but we are grateful for his good days.

Adi has been traveling a lot for work, but he is home now so trying to spend as much time as possible with him before he has to leave again.

I keep in touch and updated through messages & e-mails. You all remain in my thoughts & prayers daily.
Sending hugs!

Peace & blessings ❤

A little follow up from my other post. I thought I might share with my Christmas friends but while going through my cancer, surgery and upcoming treatments I tend to worry once in awhile. When the worry starts up I put on the movie Elf. That movie has the innocent childlike Christmas dose I need! It sure does help! Ha ha! Overall, I feel very confidant about a full recovery but I'm human and worry kicks in from time to time. Christmas has always been therapy for me and go to it year round if needed!

I hope you are all doing well! Sure miss it here!

A movie that has a special message for you in tough times helps. Mine throughout chemo was Buster Keaton's "The General." (There's more to that story, but it's not Christmas-related, so I'll omit it here.)

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

Hello all! Been awhile!!!



Thanks so much for the prayers! Bradmac and a few others know the details but I have no idea how much info has been shared on here with others about my health. Had cancer surgery Thursday and the good news that it did not spread to the lymph nodes! I will have to have radiation treatments starting in a few weeks. I must say, I feel pretty darn good for what I have gone through. Everything is going to be just fine!

Thanks to all who have sent messages of support, prayers and love!

Woo Hoo! Great to see you!
