I'm going to be in most if not all of the weekend. We have a wintry mix right now.

Stay safe and stay inside.

Good evening {{{{{DGO}}}}} :kiss:

We had a bit of snow overnight, just a dusting. It disappeared and I went ot get a couple of things at the grocery store. We may have some serious snow starting Monday evening.

Keep yourself safe sweetie.

That sounds like our forecast! I was going out but I fell asleep and slept several hours.

It's time to stay warm.

So damn sad.... No wonder things are as they are.

Bet everyone that graduated in the 50' know someone that fits most of these 50's stories. All of you teachers, former teachers can relate to the 2009 years.

1957 - In a short time, Wally feels better and goes on playing.

2009 - Nancy is accused of being a sexual predator and loses her job. She faces 3 years in State Prison... Wally undergoes 5 years of therapy.
 
Life and teaching was so much simpler back in the day. I had five little girls in the 2nd grade. Three I'd taught in kindergarten. One I'd taught her brother in kindergarten. The bell rang and they continued to jump rope. It surprised the teacher on duty, but she decided to let me deal with it. I took the little girls into the coat room and spanked them. Kellye is now married to a guy in the air force, has lived in several countries, has her MBA and two children. Angela is married, lives in Atlanta with her husband and two children and sells real estate. Lisa is also in Atlanta with an MBA and owns her own company. Kelly lives in St. Louis, is married with one child and works for Blue Cross. The other girl I've lost contact with.

They all told me the same story about how they knew I wouldn't spank them because I liked them which I did. But as you can see that spanking didn't hurt them.
