Got to say I was surprised they actually got married. But I guess that gives him more ways to be a #dick 12h

dabbe I feel guilty so I'm going to send my betrothed some flowers because that'll make me feel better but I have to send Ellen some too because I can't stop thinking about her and I hate this time period I'm living in because I have to be all prim and proper and follow the norms of the day and .... #oy! 2w

mcctrish Archer wants to send yellow roses to May but they‘d be too much for her so I will send them to Ellen cuz sending flowers to someone other than my fiancé is an okay thing to do 1w

KAO @mcctrish Sure, because that seems entirely reasonable…except—if it‘s that innocent and reasonable, why remove the card at the last minute, eh? 1w

ElizaMarie I love how he can't send the roses to May because they are “too rich, too strong, in their fiery beauty“ - but they are perfect for Ellen! #TskTskArcher #BadFiance 5d

I Don't Care | Julie Fogliano

#WDNCW @dabbe
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! 1mo

lil1inblue Phew! Glad there's a happy ending! 1mo

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
😅😅😅 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe WINNIE is just like this 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 1mo

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! 😅 1mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe flashbacks to squirt cheese with a pill in it 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 three of us trying to get the tiny pill in 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤣 1mo

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 1mo

AnnCrystal 🙏🏼 Glad you were able to pick up more 👸👏🏼🥺🙏🏼💝. 1mo

Roary47 Whew! I‘m glad you found a solution that required no extra travel so you can all enjoy your trip. 1mo

Texreader Oh the panic! 😱 so glad you were able to work it out. We have to take care of our babies!! 1mo

Feeling my age today. 😅

Rotator cuff tears
in two difference places.
Surgery to come.

TheBookHippie Ughhhhhhh it‘s so common menopause and post menopause!!! I‘m so so sorry…. Yuk 2mo

AmyG Well that sucks. 2mo

Susanita Ugh. I hope your healing goes smoothly. 2mo

See All 82 Comments

AnnCrystal No...not during your Birthday Month. 🙏🏼 Heal well 💝💝💝. 2mo

Amiable Ugh! I had rotator-cuff surgery about 10 years ago. Do you have a recliner? That was the most comfortable place to sleep for the first 8 weeks afterwards. 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #thistooshallpassright #right? 😅 2mo

dabbe @AmyG My primary doc would tell me that my body's letting me know I'm alive. #oy 🙄 2mo

dabbe @Susanita #metoo (not the movement, well, you know!) 😂 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal IKR? #woeisme or is it #woeisi? 🤔 😅 2mo

dabbe @Amiable No, I don't. 😩 Think I'll have to start looking for one. 😅 2mo

JenlovesJT47 Ugh I‘m sorry! I have labral tears in both shoulders (and possibly my hip I dislocated 😣) so I know it‘s rough. Wishing you a successful surgery with many excellent books to keep you company afterwards. Dunno what I would have done all these years if I hadn‘t been working at an ortho doctors‘ office since I was 13 😆 (my mom works there still!!). 2mo

AmyG Your primary doc needs a better bedside manner! 🤣 2mo

TheBookHippie @Amiable oh yah I second the recliner!! 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh no!! That sounds so painful. I hope they can get you in soon and that it goes well. 2mo

IriDas Ugh, sounds terrible. I hope the surgery is successful 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau That just sucks 😖 2mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Are you just living with your tears? 😱 I can't even imagine. And what can be done with your dislocated hip? Do you hope it pops back into place? 😱 I'm feeling for ya! 💙 2mo

dabbe @AmyG He's a wee bit younger. The bastard. 😂 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie @Amiable Good to know! Any recommendations? 2mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I don't even get in to see him to chat about stuff until 7/22. Luckily, I have some pain meds. 😅 2mo

dabbe @IriDas TY! 💙 2mo

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau It does. But I'm still above the ground and not underneath it, so that's a plus! 😅 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe I had frozen shoulder, but it‘s a lazy boy- friend currently borrowing -it but I made sure the material didn‘t make me too hot! 2mo

Leftcoastzen Sorry you have to go through that ! 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie So no leather, right? 😂 2mo

dabbe @Leftcoastzen TY! Another right of passage to being older and letting your German shepherd chase a bird and drag you to the ground. 😅 2mo

Susanita Did you throw too many curve balls? 😉 2mo

lil1inblue Oh, my! 😱 I hope that the surgery goes well and that you heal swiftly! But hopefully, you'll get some good guilt-free reading time! 2mo

Amiable @TheBookHippie @dabbe I commandeered my husband‘s for the duration, to his dismay. 😄 I think it was a La-Z Boy also. We don‘t have it anymore. Which arm are you doing? Make sure that you can reach the lever with your good side! 😬 2mo

Amiable Oh, also make sure to have a selection of big shirts that button up the front because you won‘t be putting your arm through a sleeve for a while. 2mo

ShelleyBooksie Oh no! Boo on doggy related injuries! Sending you healing vibes ♡♡♡ 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe thanks for asking! A dislocation didn‘t show on x-rays so I had to get an MRI. Seeing the doc next week. He thinks I might have a labral tear in my hip. That would be my luck for sure! Crutches kill me so I‘ve altered my gait & walk on my tiptoes on that side. Not fun. Sorry, that was probably more information than you were looking for! 😅 2mo

Amiable And ask the surgeon when you can start PT —as soon as possible to avoid frozen shoulder if you can. Ask about passive PT where the therapist moves your slack arm around for you. 2mo

AvidReader25 I‘m so sorry! Praying the surgery goes well! 2mo

Librarybelle Oh no! 2mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe I will leave this to the teacher 😂💝💝💝. 2mo

Sarahreadstoomuch I‘m so sorry! 2mo

Texreader 🙁 I sure hope you‘re doing ok and that surgery is successful. I hear it‘s all about the rehab. 2mo

Chrissyreadit ugh! No Bueno!!! I was able to use PT only for mine (thankful no surgery)and agree good PT is huge! hope your pain is not too much 2mo

Bookwormjillk Oh no! I agree with @Amiable on the rehab. It‘s torture but helpful torture. My other suggestion is to get yourself a back scratcher. Hope you can get it taken care of soon! 2mo

CBee @dabbe sounds like when my GYN told me to “ride it out” after I explained all of my menopause symptoms. Butthead. 2mo

TheBookHippie @Amiable YES PT!!!!! 2mo

dabbe @Susanita As if I could! No, Pip dragged me to the ground chasing a damn bird. 😅 2mo

dabbe @lil1inblue That's the plus to it all! TY. 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @Amiable Another good point! It's my right one, the one I do everything with, of course! I can still move it, just not in certain directions. 😅 2mo

dabbe @Amiable Holy guacamole! TY! I don't have any button-ups; they're all pullovers. Here's a plus: time to go shopping! 😂 2mo

dabbe @ShelleyBooksie TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal I think it's “Woe is I“ because if you put the sentence in the correct order of subject before verb, you say, “I am woe.“ Now that I've just done that, I should have said “Woe AM I.“ I need to review my grammar! 😅 2mo

dabbe @Texreader You instantly reminded me of Amy Winehouse's “Rehab.“
Obviously for very different reasons. TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit We'll see what his final opinion is, but the fact that there are two tears makes my primary doc think surgery would be better. Based on the f-in' big beautiful bill, I better get this done soon. 😅 TY for the kind words, m'dear. 💙🩵💙 2mo

Chrissyreadit fingers and toes crossed! 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I am starting to make a list! Backscratcher: #mostexcellent TY 🩵💙🩵 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe Truth!! And here's to it staying that way for a long time! 🥂💜 2mo

dabbe @CBee ESPECIALLY if your GYN was a female. 😤😂 2mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Definitely not shoulders! 🥰 2mo

CBee @dabbe nope, it‘s a dude. Too bad cause he was pretty cool before he said that 😂🫣🤪 2mo

dabbe @CBee Well, not only is that a dick-downer-for-women, but #patriarchylives even with the best of 'em! 2mo

julieclair Ugh. Hope you‘re not in too much pain while you wait to get it fixed, and your healing is smooth and speedy. 💙💙💙 2mo

Butterfinger I hate that. Keep us posted on your journey to feel better. 2mo

willaful Best of luck! 2mo

Read4life I‘m sorry, Denise. Did you at least get an apology snuggle from Pip? It sucks you have to wait so long for your appointment. Please keep us updated. 💙💙💙 2mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe go with the original & just say you're being whimsical 😂👌🏼💝💝💝. 2mo

LiseWorks Oh boy! This sucks. Please keep us updated. Sending lots of 🫂 2mo

staci.reads Oh no! I hope All goes well with surgery and you're feeling pain free soon! 2mo

Cuilin Oh no. I‘m so sorry. Hope you your healing is quick and you can hold books and turn pages, if not there‘s always audiobooks. Ugh!!! Sending speedy healing vibes. 🩷 2mo

Meshell1313 Oh no. So sorry to hear this! Sending lots of healing thoughts your way! ❤️❤️❤️ 2mo

dabbe @julieclair TY! It's tolerable. Pain killers help. 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @Butterfinger I will. TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @willaful TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @Read4life Oh yes; Pip has already forgotten about it! 😂 TY. 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @staci.reads TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin I luckily can still turn with my left hand. 😅 TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

dabbe @Meshell1313 TY! 💙🩵💙 2mo

DebinHawaii Oh ouch! I am so sorry. Getting older really sucks sometimes. I will think healing thoughts. 💙💙💙 2mo

dabbe @DebinHawaii I'm so happy you said “older“ and not “old“! 😂 That means I still have lots of years left, right? 💙🩵💙 2mo

DebinHawaii @dabbe Hah! 😂 I hope so—for both of us! 💙💙💙 2mo

RosePressedPages The same thing happened to my dad a little while ago. He‘s still in a sling. Here‘s to hoping you‘ll have a speedy recovery 💙 2mo

kspenmoll Oh no, I am so sorry! I have shoulder surgery that entailed more than rotator cuff, & I was “older so recovery longer” ( plus it was on right side; I am right handed) but now I am so much better! Cleaned up arthritis, bone in bone while in there as well. You can do it! 1mo

dabbe @RosePressedPages TY! 💙💙💙 1mo

dabbe @kspenmoll You give me hope! I've got arthritis in there, too. Maybe I can get a whole clean-er-up-while-you're-in-there detail! 😂 1mo

Librarybelle I enjoyed this one too! I did kind of hope for a true supernatural element, which would have been unique, but it was a super fun story. Maybe I think so because vampire is in the title! 😂 2mo

eeclayton I enjoyed it, too. It had a Jane Eyre-ish vibe in the beginning, and I'm glad the lady didn't end up in the attic or a madhouse 😁 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement My favorite line from this one was when Watson sees his school mate is not physically what he once had been, and W states is was painful to see. The clever line that made me chuckle:
I fear that I roused corresponding emotions in him. 2mo

kelli7990 I enjoyed it. 2mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement great line! 2mo

Cuilin @eeclayton yes definitely a gothic vibe right down to young Jack and his poison arrow. 2mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle I was hoping for a bit more Vampiric lore. 2mo

Cuilin @kelli7990 it was a fun one. 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton @CogsOfEncouragement @kelli7990 Sorry I'm a little late to the party. I enjoyed this one, too--WAY more than the last one, #oy! I found it interesting that the kid's name was Jack. “Jack“ is used is many folk tales (talking to you, Jack & the Bean Stalk) and usually involved a young adult male who is a trickster or rebel of sorts. In this one, he happens to want to kill. 🤷‍♀️ The name definitely fits! 2mo

OutsmartYourShelf I would say those who constantly shift from one to another are worse as you would never know where you are with them. You couldn't trust them as they would throw you under the bus (horse & cart?) to save themselves & for political expediency. 3mo

lil1inblue I find them equally bad, but in different ways. I agree with @OutsmartYourShelf about those who shift with the wind. But those who are so unshakable in their faith that they can't open their minds to other ideas or views can be equally harmful. They deal in absolutes. 3mo

AnneCecilie I agree with @OutsmartYourShelf, you would never know if you can trust them, and in these changing times you need to be able to trust someone 3mo

dabbe @OutsmartYourShelf @lil1inblue @AnneCecilie
I'm glad you gave pros for each side because I see both sides as well. There are pros and cons to both types of people, and I find it difficult to choose which is worse. It seems that Shardlake does, too. Boy, I would never be good on a debate team! 🤣 3mo

LiseWorks There is a verse in Revelations that talks about people who are neither hot nor cold. Christ doesn't like it. And the Protestants today still believe in the antichrist. I think I would have lived as far away from the castle as possible, lol. 3mo

dabbe @LiseWorks I'm intrigued. What do you mean by Christ not liking “it“? He doesn't want people to be lukewarm?

And yeah, I'd live as far away from the castle as I could. I also would have avoided the London Bridge with all the poled heads, too. #oy 3mo

LiseWorks @dabbe Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, nether cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 3mo

dabbe @LiseWorks Holy guacamole, Batman! 😱 3mo

Having nightmares of
uncontrollable classrooms.
I'll no longer sub.

P. S. And it's my 4th year of retirement. 🤣

Roary47 My students are rough this year. I haven‘t had the same sub twice. 🥹 3mo

TheBookHippie We have college students who now sub each teacher has a college student and the students get paid. 3mo

dabbe @Roary47 The more I've been removed from it, the harder the kids seem. Here's to your well-earned summer! 😍 3mo

See All 39 Comments

dabbe @TheBookHippie It's really hard to get subs these days, isn't it? 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe They try to bribe me all the time …. 3mo

AnnCrystal Kids seem to have lost their childhood these days, just in the news where two stories...“2 days ago — Police arrested a 13-year-old and a 12-year-old for a series of burglaries and vandalis“ and “5 days ago — Brothers, 7 and 9, Engaged in Armed Standoff with Police.“ Unreal! The poor teachers who must have to deal with these rascals.

👏🏼🐝🙏🏼🏫🐝💝. 3mo

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal only about 5 percent of that here and I‘m in Title One Schools. It‘s more extreme poverty and hunger by me. The behavior problems are in the “white” schools and private schools including weapons, rape and theft. Unreal. 3mo

kspenmoll 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

JenlovesJT47 Lol 😆💛🐝🖤 3mo

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie there's something terribly unbalanced in the world 🙏🏼😢🌍🌎🌏💝. 3mo

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal I feed as many as I can as often as I can. And give out as many books as I can! (edited) 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh, I bet they do! How much do subs make in your district? We make $100 a day, $120 if it's long-term. 3mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal 😱😳😱 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie The middle school I taught at awas Title 1. The high school I retired at was white privilege. Both in the same district. 😳 3mo

dabbe @kspenmoll My last sub day was a day of ALL freshmen. It about did me in. 🤣😍🤣 (edited) 3mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 🤣🐝💛 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe same here we have 5 Title One and three very privileged and then about 10 that are everything in between .. our district alone is 9000. We have a huge district because it‘s everything not in the city proper. 3mo

TheSpineView Kudos to all the teachers! I would have nightmares too. 3mo

dabbe @TheSpineView I hope my brain finally gets over the 30 years of fun-filled trauma. 🤣 Just let me dream of lakes, mountains, and trees, please. 😍 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Ours is one of the biggest in the state with 27,000 students. I think we have around 15 Title 1 schools. 3mo

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie 📚💝📚💝. 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe WOWIE. Also- I tried to take sabbatical this year…. Making decisions about next year. 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Do what you need to do for YOU. I know if you take another sabbatical, you'll still go in and work. Because you care about those kids, and they need you. At my high school, I'm not needed at all. They have all the privilege and everything that goes with that. So, it's easier to stay away and not sub. It's the 1st year I declined to do AP test proctoring as well. #timeformetomoveon #ifonlymybrainwouldlisten 3mo

Reggie I used to be a waiter and had nightmares all the time about the restaurant. Great haiku. 3mo

Eggs I still have nightmares about middle school…😳 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 🙃😬🤷🏻‍♀️ still deciding. I was a nurse for 20 years I would dream I lost the key to the med cart or reach for my stethoscope around my neck while I was asleep 🤣🫣😂 3mo

bellabella I was homeschooled all the way until I graduated high school. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about, but I can guess by the way I see middleschoolers now. It's very sad. 3mo

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I was fortunate enough to get my teaching job without subbing first - those who do it have my utmost respect! (Except for that one sub who ignored my detailed sub plans to keep us on pace with the novel we were reading and just "discussed current events" in my English classes.) 3mo

dabbe @Reggie I was a waitress once, too! And had some nightmares there also! Usually in those, I drop all of the dishes, and the cook has to yell something like “Redo!“ 🤣 3mo

dabbe @Eggs The most awkard time period ever. 🤣 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #oy! Losing the key to the med cart! 😱 3mo

dabbe @bellabella It's exactly what my pic portrays. Kids doing all kinds of things except what they're supposed to be doing and me standing in the middle of the room, not knowing whose behavior to try to stop first. 😱 3mo

dabbe @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards So was I. I was a teacher fro 30 years until I retired in 2021; my last year was the COVID year. I subbed after that, and the last day I did it was when I had to deal with freshmen all day. That was enough. 😳 3mo
