I wonder that a teacher who thinks so self-consciously about her students' performance could be doing anything really holey herself?<br /><br />On you mouth: I got my wisdom teeth dug out of my mouth nearly 20 years ago and I still remember the feeling after waking from the anaesthetic. I was certain the surgeon had stitched my tongue to my gums by mistake.<br /><br />On you slugs: I must hold the image of your night time raids in my thoughts when I next hesitate at cutting munching grasshoppers in half with my secateurs.the good souphttp://www.thegoodsoup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-73580547292584212342011-04-02T05:43:55.650-07:002011-04-02T05:43:55.650-07:00Slugs nibble at garlic?

I'm mostly worrying about garlic eating nematodes I may have introduced to my garlic bed via seed bulbs I got from a farm in NY!<br /><br />As for your students, some of them you are never going to inspire (odds are I'd have been one of that bunch.) Others, you couldn't possibly hold back. That you are aware you're missing something amazes me. So many of my teachers didn't care enough to notice they had lost so many of us.say what?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03475632508690095259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-24367866546229443012011-03-24T22:57:45.356-07:002011-03-24T22:57:45.356-07:00What a wonderful post with all your interwoven sto...What a wonderful post with all your interwoven stories!

Enemies as a topic ... a presentation about slugs ... a classic story of revenge. I think your students could find inspiration in such a theme. <br /> <br />Feel better, and good luck!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05856710809802056227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-80016304339609430012011-03-23T18:13:57.840-07:002011-03-23T18:13:57.840-07:00Villager: I'm really trying to avoid the Slugg...Villager: I'm really trying to avoid the Sluggo. So, late night flashlight and beer it is. Not tonight again though--it is raining again! It has been a long time since we've had a year this wet around here (thus the hordes of slugs).<br /><br />Michelle: That idea you sent me of the slug smashing part with slugs of whine and an army of chopstick-wielding friends is sounding more and more tempting.<br /><br />AH: HA! You must have the special, logical breed in your part of town. We've got the dullards over here. The beer bowls do seem to be having a good effect lately. You should see the carnage in each when I check on them in the mornings.<br /><br />Terry B.: Thank you! I had a meeting with a parent today--I hope that will cause at least a little desluggification.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-22445410121270650272011-03-23T11:52:48.426-07:002011-03-23T11:52:48.426-07:00A wonderful post, Christina, even if it's abou...A wonderful post, Christina, even if it's about less than wonderful moments in your life right now.

These storms have been pushing water through the holes in our pretty but poorly designed door sills, thank goodness for lots of old towels and tile floors.<br /><br />Hope your jaw heals quickly, your students shape up, and the slugs don't enjoy that beer too much before they expire.michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-1400752217337363282011-03-21T05:39:06.143-07:002011-03-21T05:39:06.143-07:00Ouch, I had a wisdom tooth chiseled out and I know...Ouch, I had a wisdom tooth chiseled out and I know that's no fun. Not that I remember the process, since they put me out for it.<br /><br />Slugs on garlic? That's downright criminal! They got after my Asian greens but I spread Sluggo. I've done the late night flashlight gig but I always seem to miss a lot that way.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.com
