Oh, almost forgot: duck AC are still jiggling. So I guess I'm not even tilting them? Or just gently? I've read all the stuff a hundred times but I just don't remember. I haven't had coffee either.

Any further progress to report on the shed?

DIL is a teacher in public schools in the Kenosha district of WI; has been for many years. For several of those years, she taught minority inner-city kids, from poor, disadvantaged backgrounds that weren't "special needs"; they just didn't care, and had no idea of how to study. Homework wasn't emphasized; they wouldn't do it anyway. They excelled in running the streets, many times as gang members. She employed some unconventional methods of her own, but they worked. I visited her class a couple of times. The first time, she had them making breakfast, which for some of them was the only way they'd get any. They all had her home phone number, and were encouraged to call her with questions or problems, scholastic or personal. Some of them wound up on the streets or incarcerated, anyway. Several of them, however, turned their lives around and have kept in touch, thanking her for caring and crediting her with getting them on the right path in life. Quite a woman!

She sounds like quite the amazing woman!

We focus a lot on life skills, they don't teach simple things anymore, like balancing a check book, or mental math when grocery shopping. My husband is teaching the kids how an engine works, so when they learn to drive, they can check oil, figure out how to replace fluids and check them. My 5 year old helped her dad remodel a bathroom, including the plumbing, she learned how to use measuring to figure out how much flooring was needed, then the kids did the math to figure out how much it would cost at the hardware store to get enough flooring.

I love seeing them apply what they've learned day to day.

Good morning Silver hair, Chaos, Banti, Aurore, and campingshaws, any interesting plans today?
@kwhites634 I hope you are OK this morning with all that work yesterday.

Gotta find gold earring hoops for my DD. Her piercings have been a nonstop struggle since December. Now one of her lobes has grown over the earring back. I'm not looking forward to that later. DD is 7 and a huge weenie about things that hurt or MIGHT hurt. She'll scream and cry if I just mention brushing her tangled hair.

Anyway, I'm picking up gold hoops and oragel, so hopefully we can get this resolved.
lol I said s it and told kid she aint never getting them done again!!

My husband and BIL don't know how to make a bed! I don't mean hospital corners even! Just putting on a bottom sheet, and spreading the top sheet and blankets out.
I had to teach my husband to plunge a toilet too!

Sounds like fun.

Interesting.

There have been lots of "tests" conducted before to find the best way to store them the longest. How long are you trying to store them for?

I just want to know my options. I need to be able to store some unrefrigerated to save for molt.
