Syria decreasing peoples' desires to enlist?

I don't say that seriously, it's just the only thing I could think of.

Nah, just a fading hangover.

And then you got to teach 25 hyper kids? Sounds lovely.

71, actually. Monday mornings feature physical education with three classes.

Gym class is a joke nobody cares or participates anyways, getting a ball in the face or wrestling with BABA is stupid.

Hah, perfect.

Anything consumable is good, if she likes a good tea or coffee or fancy chocolate or wine or whatever that's great. Alternatively take her out for a day to do something you both enjoy (theater or something?).

Always good and they work for the person who already has everything they want.

I'm just going to play it safe and never break into that territory.

Particularly not when having kids means spending more time around other peoples' kids.

Getting her to actually go out for those gifts is the problem. My sister is constantly trying to do day trips, weekends, etc. with my mom as gifts, but it's an eternal case of never being a good time.

My dad does most of the cooking in the house, and he's a much better chef than I am, so the home-cooked thing tends to fall flat. I sent her lilies for mothers day (Lilly was my grandmother's name, and one of my mom's favorite flowers). So flowers now fall a little flat.

My dad bought her a tablet, so an e-reader is out.

Everyone has been defaulting to activities she can do with my niece. But I feel like she deserves to get presents that are actually for her. I know she enjoys doing them with her granddaughter, but I feel like she deserves to pamper herself, too.

I couldn't; too much hen house already.

Probably. I love giving gifts, but the process leading up to that sucks. Also, my parents are so freaking hard to buy for. My dad loves to cook, but he's so resistant to change that he won't even use new cooking utensils, even when the old ones are rusted. You need to sneak them into the trash on garbage day and force him to use the new ones.

I'm not sure my mom has actually used anything I've ever given her. And, right now, chocolate/food items would go straight into my niece's mouth (she's also "dieting"). She hates massages, and has a tendency to regift spa certificates/haircut certificates.

And because she's quite religious, the chances of there being any overlap in things I've read and things she might like to read is next to nothing. In general, Christianity is a theme in most of the things she reads.

Nadal won the first set

I just learned i have a gig with my son this week-end, i am replacing a member of the band at the guitar (acoustic rhythm) for one night...First time playing with him on stage.

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could




But really, I'd probably snap way before you did.
Also, I hope nothing bad happens with the gas. Or that you have good insurance I guess.

Eh, everyone makes mistakes. Might even have been the janitor or someone who checks the school each day.
