Hosers! How the heck is everyone? Tomorrow is my Monday. Another short work week = doing 5 days worth of work in only 4 days.

I think maybe Frank thought it got lost in translation... but even if grammar etc. when not writing in your native language might not be perfectly clear, I got it (I think). What I got is he's feeling healthier, takes care of his family, is still enjoying using his camera, etc. and that's what's important.

I was asking specifically about the last line. And I know about things being lost in translation, which is why I asked what he meant that last line in particular.

A short week for me, too, especially if I get another snow day on Wednesday. Had today off and I have some crap to take care of on Thursday morning, so I took a couple of personal hours. So if I get a snow day on Wednesday, too, I will essentially have a half work week. And I'm not going to complain one tiny little bit about it

OMG if school gets canceled again this week I'm not sure if the parents around here can take it! They were off for the holidays then the snow days and then the holiday again and now they have midterms this week and next so will be getting out by 12/1pm every day - sometimes earlier... and February break (which is a totally unnecessary week off in crappy weather less than 2 months after Christmas) starts in about a month.

Fingers crossed for snow for NY state Wednesday! (at least over Leo's house and school/workplace). Here we're back in the deep freeze for a day or so then it's supposed to be 40 by the weekend.

A break in February?? eww. That sounds lousy. Here some schools have gone to a mid semester break of some sort but it's not that early, most are still around Easter or at least later March I think.

Have I said enough that I'm glad for early retirement?!! These conversations remind me why!

There are 3 week long vacations for MA schools. Christmas - New Years (which can sometimes be up to 12 days off depending on what day of the week Christmas falls on), February vacation (the week of President's Day) and April vacation (the week of Patriot's Day).

No, not those Patriots:

These Patriots:

Patriots Day?? is that just in your state? I'm in favor of any holidays possible!

I do what I feel makes sense to me, is important to me and I feel what others think or say or do is not important as long as I live in congruence with my inner form.

I suspect I am older than you but I discovered this several years ago. Some call eccentric, I call it I don't give a s***. At the end of the day if I'm happy with myself, its a good day. As to diet, I've given up just about all my sinful indulgences, except food. If I have to give up the foods I enjoy just to live another day, well....Id rather die happy with a full belly. I do however follow moderation, and enjoy walking the woods daily. Life is good most days.

I feel that with 40 I understood what it is all about, with 50 I had fought my way to a point that I can really do what I know, at 51 I feel a growing independence. I do not have to prove anything to anybody. Not even to myself.

Smoke: if you start to **** blood and have pain in all joints and all the medication your doctors give you only cause more trouble one starts to think about replacing one joy with another. I enjoy a bunch of seasonally changing vegetables more than I used to enjoy any indulgence that later led to the above trouble. It is like enjoying finer things. A tantric 30 minute orgasm can be a better choice than a 30 second steam ram orgasm which must not be a bad thing at all. It is just like that with a good vegetable soup compared to a hit and run burger menu...

That possibly does not make much sense to you, does it?

Do you really think folks here are not capable of understanding? Or did this just come out more abrasive than you meant it?

No. I am not sure sometimes if my world differs much from other people's world. My hope is that people on this planet do not differ so much. This I see as a chance for peace in the long run.

But in other moments I feel my world is very different from other people's world

Deep down inside I figure people are more alike than different. I would imagine even in Iran there are some fine folks.
That said I've run out of words.

Yes I believe it’s a MA only holiday. It’s also Marathon Monday here in Boston.

Maybe in RI too, I think.

It seems to usually coincide with our Spring Break here in CT.

The forecast sounds just bad enough that I will not be in school tomorrow. Grumble grumble.

 

[SquarePeg37 8]

Princess is hoping for a snow day because it will be a whole extra day to study for midterms which start on Thursday.

 

[JonA_CT]

Or to procrastinate by binge watching Netflix and scrolling through Instagram, haha.

At least that’s what I’d do if I were still in high school, probably.

She has her verbal midterm in Spanish today and was up early this morning to study because she spent the 3 day weekend farting around!
