AwesomO4000 September 15, 2015 Share September 15, 2015 I taped most of the episodes of Crossing Jordan on VHS off of the reruns on A&E. Only the first season can be found on DVD, mostly due to problems with music rights (like Supernatural, Crossing Jordan often had excellent use of music). Steve Valentine's Nigel was one of my favorite television characters ever. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/20/#findComment-1507842

AwesomO4000 September 15, 2015 Share September 15, 2015 (edited) Oh, man... Life. I really liked that show, too. I loved all the screencaps of Charlie (Damian Lewis, for those unfamiliar with the show) eating fruit the fans used to make, generally with the caption "nom nom nom" - a "nom nom nom" meem* so to speak. Hee. I lamented that show being canceled so early - not as badly as Terriers, but... I do remember some great music in Life, too, but I'll always be grateful to CJ for introducing me to John Hiatt, and especially "30 years of Tears." * I'm not sure they were quite known as meems then, though.

I haven't seen Crossing Jordan since it went off the air. I watched a Disney Channel movie once because I saw his name in the credits. It had something to do with King Arthur and a high school girl.

AwesomO4000 September 16, 2015 Share September 16, 2015 AwesomO4000, sorry I didn't ask sooner, but how are the workshops going? Are you the worlds foremost authority on spiders yet? The workshops went well - more insects this time than spiders, but I think everybody learned something and they seem to like my new format (groups of two get their own microscope and sample set instead of having to move around the room from scope to scope.) This Thursday is the last, but I only have to print up the certificates for it (gotta go do that now actually), because it's about termites - hubby's area of expertise, not mine. But also this Thursday class starts. Class = 10 week course, 6-9 on Thursdays. Guest lectures only at first, but I make dinner for the students, since they often come straight from work. It's a course for pest control professionals. As for being an expert on spiders - I wish. I know enough to get me by or be dangerous (or both), but moreso I know a bunch of people who specialize in stuff, so I know who to contact when I need a specific ID. I have a spider guy in my contacts for tough ones I can't get. And a bug (Hemiptera) guy (actually 2), an aphid lady, a snail guy, a weevil guy, a caterpillar guy, etc. plus a general taxonomy dude who tackles anything the others don't. If I've learned anything, it's that knowing your limitations can be a strength, and I don't try to fake it when there are plenty of people who know what I don't and generally love to help. The trick is getting to know those people - even if only by phone - and build those relationships. I help them out too when I can, even if it's only to pass on a contact they may not know or give them a photo I've taken that they need. Generally, I just love my job and the freedom they give me to do what I do in my own strange way. I'm not sure why, but this show really grabbed me. I loved it! I remember that episode! I really liked it too. All those interesting characters who somehow interacted and made an interesting show. David Spade's character was perfect for him, in my opinion. Phil Hartman's too. I loved Nina. And I even loved the weirdo guy who loved owls... oh yeah, Kevin! (That guy is funny on late night talk shows). We have piñon nuts for the first time in the four years we've lived here. They're everywhere. Hubby's coworkers told him today that I needed to be spending all my spare time collecting them. Those are pine nuts, right? If so those are delicious... and also not at all cheap. You're so lucky. If you can find a way to preserve them, I think you'll be popular with your friends and family. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/20/#findComment-1510181

7kstar September 18, 2015 Share September 18, 2015 Sue B, the sad part probably not. Since I didn't get hurt it won't be seen as a big deal. The family most likely has lots of issues and will play "But he didn't mean it" card or "my boy wouldn't do that." I will admit I lost my cool and told him if I had been hurt I would press charges. I would skip the school and go straight to a real police report. You're lucky I'm not hurt. They argued with me that the police officer would take their side. I think they were surprised when he didn't. I'm trying to believe that I went through this to help them realize that their actions aren't games and that they need to become responsible even if their parents don't demo that or they ignore their parents. I think if I started writing right now, Dean would be punching their lights out and I would be cheering on the side. Bad teacher. So I'm trying to find the humor and let it go. I guess I should go hunting Dean pics to distract me. Tomorrow is a new day. The lucky part for me, they weren't my students. They were out of control in another class, so that teacher got a break today.

To me, the only reason Teacher's keep teaching is because they feel that calling to serve and have had success. Their financial compensation is a crime and a national embarrassment. No one is in it for the long term for the money. It's a mission. I bet, 7k, you were glad to see J2 recall teacher's who encouraged them (by name) at DallasCon.

7kstar September 19, 2015 Share September 19, 2015 (edited) The joy of seeing a student figure out they have a talent they never knew they possessed, seeing a student going from making bad decisions to good choices is a reward that is priceless. But I will admit I'm tired. I've fought for a long time, the grind, the lack of support from administrators and other issues is taking a toll. I need more time to prepare, lower class loads. @Sue B This is so true. My daughter's former college roommate (who had a full ride to William and Mary) was selected for the Teachers for America program. She struggled through her first year (in an impoverished Appalachian area), after gearing up to start her second year she just couldn't go on. This is a very bright young woman who grew up with little money. She's used to hardship and making do. The expectation of what they do to young teachers is criminal. This is a really difficult job due to way too many factors to mention. Many are quick to judge instead of support. Not everything, I've learned the hard way, works with each class or group of students. If they don't make changes, they won't have teachers. Yes it can be a calling...but if you feel so beaten down you won't stick with it pass the hard learning curve years. We need a change soon, because many of us will be leaving soon and the number coming in isn't high enough. But I do believe in a higher power, God. I do believe he knows I'm at my limits. I am having better classes even though my energy just can't keep up. My goal is 4 to 5 more years if my health will allow. Then I will have to do what the kids are doing...what do I do now??? I did like that J2 did acknowledge their teachers. I will admit it is about time that Theatre teachers get acknowledge as much as music teachers. All teachers are important and all provide something. Theatre teaches way more than just to be a professional actor. Of course in my world all students need several years of Theatre. :) Edited September 19, 2015 by 7kstar 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2246-small-talk-the-impala/page/20/#findComment-1519940
