  1. I like the photograph. It looks great in black and white.
  2. That photo is so sweet. Yes, she is very, very lovely. You two make a beautiful couple.
  3. Wow, I'm crying. This is very, very sad news. I never have met him in person, but we had friendly ongoing PMs over the years, discussing various life topics. He seemed to be such a genuine, caring person, who lived by authentic principles based on altruism. He was one of the good ones. Sending my heartfelt condolences to Tonto's loved ones, especially Taya, whom he cherished and loved so much. Eternal blue skies, Tonto.
  4. I'm so very sorry for your loss, Kathleen. My condolences, love, hugs to you.
  5. Thank you. Love you! Btw, I had sooo much fun on Sunday. Oh, and thanks for the ride to my car, too.
  6. Thank you. I'm pretty sure that I received A's on everything. One presentation was on the Honig vs. Doe court case, and how it affects our job as educators today. The other was on assessment, prevalence and teaching children with Communication Disorders. My papers were on various topics, including a team Critical Incident Review paper. (Zzzzzz...I know!) This is what it's been like every week, since January. We had no summer break. I am looking forward to next winter, so I can begin student teaching. To be honest, I'm really not drinking because I'm already doing research for my next batch of papers due next Monday, but I'm with you in spirit!
  7. Getting your paper written? Huh? Huh? I finished ALL of my papers, went to class, gave two oral presentations and came back home, already. (My class was 4 hours.) I can totally drink at this moment.
  8. Are you joining us? Can I get in on the Jack love? I want to feel all warm and fuzzy inside., too.
  9. I'm so sorry, Shermie. Hugs and good vibes to you both. Let us know how everything goes, ok? Sending my best wishes...
  10. Actually, you look great, Remi.
  11. I have those pants! Ahahahaaa...that's right! I told you that, when I saw you wearing them once a long time ago in Perris. They're a bit old, but oh so comfy! plus, they fit us little ones well. Oh, and I was wearing them over my leggings in this picture. Gotta gooooo...class soon!
  12. Hello everyone, I am searching for more contacts within the educational field dealing specifically with special needs students. This first one is urgent. I am looking for either a resource teacher or a school psychologist. I need to be able to obtain an assessment testing tool and go over methods used to assess special needs students. Special needs children include those students who have physically disabilities, autism, learning disabilities, mental retardation, emotional/behavioral disorders or gifted/talented students. I also need to be in touch with special education administrators or teaching teams, and I specifically am interested in those working within the elementary school level. I am interested in public school's collaborative relationships with outside support services/agencies for special needs students. Also, I also need to interview an adult, who is special needs (physically challenged, learning disabied, autistic, mentally retarded, gifted/talented, etc.) so I can compare what it was like for that person to grow up with those needs. I am comparing what their school experience was like then, and what special needs students' experience is like now. Parents of special needs children, it would greatly help me to be in contact with you. I would love to be able to see an IEP. I am creating some mock ones for (all mock) children with disabilities. Also, knowing what it's like for you & the child, and what your preferred interactions are with educators would greatly benefit me in the future. Our goal in my Survey of Special Populations class is to be able to give special needs students schooling within the least restrictive environment possible, which would be inclusion. Thank you for your help!
  13. You suck! J & Psipike~ Haha, Bonfire just wouldn't be the same without some of the men's colorful comments!
  14. That's cute...awww. It's ok with me that I'm old enough to be your mother.
  15. My avatar photo was taken from SD Elsinore's website photos, during the Chick's Rock boogie this year. I'm on the right, and Shotgun is on the left. I'm so happy that I have a pic with another small person...and I was even wearing boots that made me a few inches taller!
  16. Wishing the best outcome for the niece, baby and family!
  17. Omg, that color scheme was big back then...ahahahaahaaaaaaaa...aaaargh!
