Come on down, the weather is fine. And there are lots of sketchy people in FL already, so you'll all fit right in!
That is sweet Tasha! Y'all are totally welcome here in Alaska. You can't see Russia from my place, but you can see Canada! I am cracking up! My first thought upon reading the o.p. was "We would kill each other!" :lol::lolre: political discussions threads!) We should wait until after the election for sure, and no political discussions allowed at the retreat! Maybe we could go to a lodge in the Alaskan wilderness . . .hehehe You would all be shocked to meet me in person. I am very reserved and do not get into political discussions at all!
I second the motion! :lol: Really, it would be very neat. During the summer would, of course, be the best. I still vote for Hawaii...
I know! There are very few of us here in the area. The flip side is that I don't have to worry too much about collegues seeing me on line! I'd love to meet you guys. Hawaii sounds like a dream, but Key West might be more affordable. Of course coming to Omaha might be a good central location for all interested parties!
OH yes! I have met 2 people in real life already and they are SUPER! So to meet the rest of you who have helped me sooo much, of course! I read more than I respond, but I love AtoZ! I do still read daily and BRAG, tooo, to anyone who will listen!
Oooooh-are you a famous person, blessedhands? Hahaha-are you BETH NEWINGHAM? She's the only famous teacher I can think of at the moment.... and she lives in Troy, MI. Unless you are trying to disguise yourself.
Blessedhands! No fair! You have to tell us now who you are!!!!! I'm waiting!.......... Jem, I know you're in San Francisco area. I live about 2 and a half hours south, so we could try to wrangle other CA people up and maybe meet in....... Hawaii!!!!!!
Peachyness-you're focused on Hawaii huh? Hey, if CA people are meeting in Hawaii, I'm there with yall!! Blessed-TELL US WHO YOU ARE PLEASE!!!
Come on kids...I mean teachers...LOL..... I am just a special woman.....with uniqueness....none other like me. Bless.
I can't come on Monday or Tuesday... or any night Dancing with the stars is on... I am watching it now...and popping in threads... Okay, I need help here... I absolutely love... AtoZ!!!
LOL gees I should have remained silent. Yall just reading too deep into this thing, honestly. PS. I have met no one from here.
Same here, Master Pre-K! I would love to meet everyone, but I just can't miss Dancing with the stars! :lol:
Hmmm... maybe we COULD coordinate a CA meeting. That would be so great! I've wanted to meet up with TeacherShelly (she's only about an hour from me), and Katenar is down south. I have several teachers on my myspace that are close, too. What are you guys doing on Veteran's Day? No school here-would you want to meet up somewhere? I certainly don't mind driving!
I want to meet y'all! A-to-Z is so much nicer than some other teacher forums I used to follow (not anymore).
Ok, I am convinced...to the upper 49th we'll go! Hey, we can celebrate being 50 together...me & your home state!
Really!!! Care to join me in a new thread??? I think it's a really great show..when I don't fall asleep! :lol: Okay, not to hijack...but it is just like us here at AtoZ...a nice mix of folks, who all want to do the same thing, get out there and be ourselves..getting together to share likes/dislikes. There is something for everyone!
Yes, Beth Newingham is in Michigan. Heather Renz is in Oregon; she's well-known, also. Then in NY... it could be Hilary Clinton. :haha: That's all I can think of, anyway.
Hey, that would be very fun! We should PM this to each other and talk about it. I've seen pictures of you and katenar, so I know you two aren't loonies
blessed's profile says she's a student teacher, so that rules out Louanne Johnson that and the fact that she taught in CA. I suppose she could have moved, but she'd never be a ST.
I wonder why everyone is concentrating on me so. I am far from the people yall say. Again, don't read too much into my first post of this thread.
After reading every post on this thread, I wouldn't miss it for the world. How could I not want to meet such a hilarious group of educators?!
Cause you're famous You're also a gorgeous 25 or possibly 26 year old woman of Jamaican ancestry, who finished high school at 16 with high marks and has good shoes. You've changed hairstyles at least once and dyed your hair red, and work in health care on the weekends. While you visit Chinatown often, you don't know too much about schools on the lower east side of Manhattan, and you want people to call you Nikki. Hmmm. . . okay, so I guess I rule out Usain Bolt and Patrick Ewing, who wear nothing but sneakers. I can't see Shaggy working in health care. And I don't think Bob Marley would appreciate being called Nikki. However, I have figured out who blessedhands is, and she's not Dear Abby, or Hilary Clinton. She's Carla Campbell. Now, admittedly I don't know exactly why a supermodel would be working as a student teacher and in health care. But NYC IS a hotbed of modeling. And the website also references that her career went somewhat dormant in 2004 (suspiciously, just about the time it would need to if she were going to start a teaching career). There's even some telling quotes on the website: Now, tell me she's not really talking about teaching. Though it does cause me to wonder if she's got a set of champagne bottles littering her floor. (don't accuse me of stalking until I show up at your school. I got everything from here)
