Giraffe Is Too Tall for This Book | Dk Ryland

Tall and gangly,
I felt ungainly, head and
shoulders above all. 🦒

Oh the joys of being the tallest girl in class at school!

dabbe I bet you stood tall and saw clearly. 💙🩵💙 1w

lil1inblue Too funny! I was always the shortest, and always envious of the taller kids! I like that your haiku evokes those. childhood feelings! 1w

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal aww, tall girls unite! 🙌🏻😁 @dabbe @lil1inblue I was 5 feet tall in the 4th grade. My mom is tall (5‘9) and I so desperately wanted to be at least as tall as her. She told me I‘d probably only be 5‘7 or so and it made me so mad! Well, I sure showed her lol. I‘m 5‘11. 😳 1w

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 🤣 🥰 1w

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 A perfect height! 😍🤗😘 1w

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 👏🏼🥳👌🏼💝 & @dabbe 😂👍🏼💝. I actually only reached to about 5'7“ 🤔 or is it 5'4“... either way, I'm a giant compared to the women in my mom's family 😂...my mom stands at 5' one of my aunts stood around 4'7“?? And my grandma was 4'9“... 1w

I Don't Care | Julie Fogliano

2 today for #wdncw

We do not care that I‘m wearing socks and sandals around the house. Yea, it‘s true, I used to think when “old people” did this it was a crime against humanity. Now that I‘m kind of an “old people,” I just don‘t care.

And I don‘t care that the report for the client is “just a draft.” Both of you (my associate and my paralegal) proofed it and when I get it there shouldn‘t be any misspelled words!

CBee My husband wears socks and sandals, everywhere 😂😂 2w

dabbe Socks + sandals = well-earned comfort! 🙌🏻 also to grammar perfection! 🩵💙🩵 2w

AnnCrystal 👸👏🏼☺️👌🏼💝. 2w

LiseWorks Oh dear lord, I see old people do this all the time, lol. Yes, I think it's a crime, too! Since I can't wear sandles (feet problems force me to wear insoles), I will never resort to that hehe even if I'm old. 2w

ShelleyBooksie I saw a post online the other day that its the trend now to wear sandals with socks!!! You are just embracing the trend ♡ 2w

Liz_M Socks + sandals is absolutely a young person thing, too! I don't think I've seen a teen/young adult/new adult on the subway in sandals without socks recently. 2w

lil1inblue 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 2w

Texreader @dabbe I tried to be nice about it, my paralegal is very young and sensitive. But the word “destroyed“ is not spelled “destoyed“ and if a sentence has two were(s) in it, there should be two nouns! It's for a presentation to a bunch of very prominent individuals on the Board of Directors. 1w

lil1inblue 🙌 🙌 🙌 We do not care if people do not like the boundaries we set at work. 2w

dabbe L😍VE! I actually insisted that parents email me with their questions and to NOT call. It was imperative to have a written record of who said what, and phone calls never allow you that--unless you're recording them. And yes, work on those writing skills, people! 🩵💙🩵 2w

Bookwormjillk I‘m not the biggest fan of AI but if you can‘t write an email ChatGPT is a thing 2w

DGRachel @Bookwormjillk I‘ve found that the people who insist the most on phone calls are the people that just want to whine or argue. We do not care about why they think they shouldn‘t have to do something. After 25 years doing this job, I‘m not fighting with you. Do what you‘re supposed to be or don‘t get paid. Your call. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w

DGRachel @dabbe I struggle with phone calls for several reasons. Most people accept it when I tell them that and ask them to put their questions in an email. Every so often though… 2w

Bookwormjillk @DGRachel in my work people who want calls usually want to transfer the labor of documenting their BS to me. 2w

We do not care that we left yesterday for our vacation and drove four hours to northeastern Arizona only to realize when we got there that we had left ALL of Pippa's seizure medications on the table at home in Phoenix. 😳

P.S. Thankfully, after hours on the phone, her neurological vet was able to send all the prescriptions to a pharmacy up here so that Matt didn't have to spend eight hours today retrieving them. #deepbreaths 😮‍💨

TheBookHippie 😬🥴 so glad it ended well! 2w

lil1inblue Phew! Glad there's a happy ending! 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie @lil1inblue @LiseWorks @Aims42 @AmyG @Susanita ... now if we can only get her to take the damn things. She usually gobbles them down in mini-lean-ground-beef meatballs, but she ain't having any of it now. And she's been whining the whole time we've been up here. #pippadontlikechange
😅😅😅 2w

TheBookHippie @dabbe WINNIE is just like this 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie We're about at our wits end with her. We don't want to shove the pills down her throat, but man! She can be difficult! 😅 2w

TheBookHippie @dabbe flashbacks to squirt cheese with a pill in it 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 three of us trying to get the tiny pill in 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤣 2w

dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh, Miss Winnie! 🖤🐾🖤 I'd try the squirt cheese, but she takes 24 pills a day. 😳 We cram three into each mini-meatball so she only has four because she's also a BIG girl. #oy 2w

AnnCrystal 🙏🏼 Glad you were able to pick up more 👸👏🏼🥺🙏🏼💝. 2w

Roary47 Whew! I‘m glad you found a solution that required no extra travel so you can all enjoy your trip. 2w

Texreader Oh the panic! 😱 so glad you were able to work it out. We have to take care of our babies!! 2w

dabbe @AnnCrystal We are, too! 😍🤩😍 2w

dabbe @Roary47 TY! She finally took the pills as part of her dinner! 😍🤩😍 2w

dabbe @Texreader IKR? 😍🤩😍 2w

CBee Miss Pippa‘s “Traveling Adventures,” otherwise known as “let me see just how crazy I can drive my humans” 😂 2w

dabbe @CBee There's a reason she is called “Pip“. She's lucky she's so frickin' cute because she is by far the most stubborn and difficult dog we have EVER had! 😤😂🐾 2w

CBee @dabbe that‘s how I feel about our chihuahua, Suki. AKA psycho, AKA will protect my humans at all costs 😂😂 1w

dabbe @CBee Sounds like our Little G, Kate (The Little General). 😂🐾😂 1w

thebacklistbook We do not care that our car appointment is when we normally wake up to greet the day. Or that the weather is not cooperating and we have to air out rather than use AC. We also do not care that we haven't vacuumed the car in a long time. 2w

dabbe @thebacklistbook L😍VE! We finally just vacuumed ours BEFORE taking the dogs on a trip. Wonder if we'll do it again upon our return? 2w
