Drove to Wilson, NC this morning to visit the sweetest lady ever. She was our housekeeper growing up. She always tells me that when I was a little girl, I would pack a bag every Friday because I wanted to go home with her. She is 97 now and lives in a nursing home. Before she had to move into the nursing home, I would drive down and spend the weekend with her. Dreams do come true!

Reply to Color correction hair stylists? by blond_boys

So the girl I go to see is great with color, from fantasy to color correction. Currently she's out on leave so I don't know how fast you need this done. Other than her, I've gone to bombshell for my hair since like 2014 and have not been disappointed so far. They will probably want to do a consultation first and they can be expensive but for me, it's been worth it.

Reply to Which daycare do you use and how much is it? by PopularMedicinetoday

Goddard School Walton Park is where we take our kid. Expensive but I think that’s everywhere. It is a great place in general bc the teachers are good!

Up until 18 months it’s about $1380 a month and just now went down $75 for turning 18 months (different room). But I do 4 days a week instead of 5. Also fully close the last week of December which is hinders us because we both work full time jobs.

Nah. This is an absolute SLAP IN THE FACE for any RPS educator that has stuck it out through the past few years. Teachers are leaving and getting ready to leave schools that were never previously “hard to staff”. This year has been especially hard. They announce 12k sign on bonuses without even mention of a retention bonus is hurtful no matter how you try to spin it. That cute little 12% raise over time is cool and everything, but the way our healthcare cost constantly increases as well as the cost of everything else increases, it really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I assure you that many many many teachers are disheartened by this and it has swayed some folks toward the exit door who were previously on the fence.

FS CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD UPS battery backup.

Brand new in Box. Only opened long enough to determine it doesn’t fit where I need it to. I bought it on Amazon and forgot to check the dimensions, and they won’t take back UPSs.

Here is the amazon listing for reference:

CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1500VA/1000W, 12 Outlets, AVR, Mini Tower https://a.co/d/3uKZG3o

Currently on amazon at 220, yours for 180.

It's stupid, outdated, and misogynistic and I don't agree with it, but the reason is that teaching was seen as women's work, and they made the pay low as a barrier to entry for unmarried women. It's not meant to be the job of a breadwinner, the teacher is supposed to have a husband with a job that pays the bills so her income is extra. Wouldn't want those unmarried harlots living independently or teaching our precious children to have loose morals.
