I love the new forum Amanda. I think we all need a time out place where we can talk about stuff other than teaching. Of course we will still always do that but now we can also discuss the personal side of our lives. Great idea.
off topic topics Gee what kind of things can we talk about... husband bashing job dysfunctional weight gain water retention broken fingernails new oreo flavors our pets trips and travel sushi rolls thigh high bruising from preschool/elementary tables aches and pains offspring boast and brag sports teams concerts/shows stain removal recipes my favorite would be to just post a loud AHHHHHHHHHHH. makes me feel better. give it a try, take a deep breath in and hold down the h key. feels great. I liked the professionalism with a tinge of personal that atoz fostered. I dont know about this teachers lounge- should be real interesting.
peaceful thought How about we can share peaceful or provoking thoughts. Like a mental yoga! (or natural childbirth classes) Picture yourself under a raging water fall. as the water pounds your shoulders, release all the stress into the rocks holding your weight.
Picture yourself with someone else's limitless credit card and everything you try on FITS and LOOKS great on you! Lori
bathing suit I need to find a swim suit with a skirt on it, a long skirt. makes me feel like an iceskater in the pool. i miss the bikini days when my tummy was something so worth showing off. now it looks like a second tush. hows that thought provoking moment. ack
