dabbe Such a powerful poem ... again misinterpreted by people who probably didn't pay attention in high school English. #oytotheultimatevey 🧡💜💛 1mo

Literacy: a systematic start | Elizabeth Hunter-Grundin

Not book related. Just a work whine. But it is literacy related. I'm tired y'all. 🙄

Aims42 Oof 🫠 And on a Monday too? Not fair, Universe. Not fair. (Always here for a #workwhine post 🫂) 2mo

CSeydel An email announcing a change contains information that‘s different than what was announced previously? How can this be?? 2mo

GingerAntics @CSeydel they should have warned that the change announcement was going to contain a change of information prior to changing the information! 🤣😂🤣 2mo

CSeydel @GingerAntics Absolutely! So unprofessional 2mo

GingerAntics @CSeydel almost as unprofessional as has instead of have. lol 2mo

lil1inblue @Aims42 It's been the weirdest September (and the weirdest year). I've handled the strangest incidents that I haven't seen in 20 years. This email just sent me over the edge after another crazy day. It's always that little thing... 🙃🫠🤣 2mo

lil1inblue @gingerantics @cseydel You are cracking me up. I very much needed that laugh. 🤣🤣🤣 P.S. I had a co-worker convince me not to send my original email back as the response. 😏 2mo

GingerAntics @lil1inblue 🤣😂🤣 oh my god I have so had the urge, like excuse me, did you not read the email you are quote literally responding to?! I‘ve had a coworker talk me out of sending the original email back in response too. Don‘t feel bad. I‘m still debating if it would have been better to actually send it though. The next time it happens, it will be the same person. There must be a way to circumvent the next one… alas, maybe not. 2mo

AnnCrystal 💝🫂💝...may Oct. be better. 2mo

lil1inblue @GingerAntics This is not the first time with this particular person. I'm still searching for the way to circumvent. Most times, I just laugh it off. But today was just too crazy. It sent me. 🤣 2mo

dabbe #oytotheultimatevey Sending 🧡💜💛. 2mo

CSeydel Some people just can‘t handle too much thinking 😣 2mo

GingerAntics @lil1inblue some days it‘s just the final straw… JUST READ THE EMAIL PEOPLE!!! 2mo

We do not care that we asked our father to drive us/stay for a biopsy procedure for emotional support. Sometimes we just need someone to be there.
Which brings us to, we do not care that it's been almost a month of no contact from the man we thought was The One & then out of the blue said man asks our mutual friend how we're doing. We do not care that he asked bc we've been trying to get over said man.
We do not care.
...do we? 💔 #WDNCW @dabbe

AmyG I‘m sorry. No we do not care. Apparently you dodged one…with this guy. Hope the biopsy is negative. (edited) 2mo

Texreader Oh this is so hard in so many ways. Many many hugs to you 🤗 2mo

dabbe #oytotheultimatevey Thank you for sharing your heart; you're in a safe place with the #WDNCW group. Like @AmyG said, good dodge with the guy who couldn't/wouldn't be there. He's not worthy enough to lick your shoe. I hope your biopsy is negative and that your life moves forward in lovely ways. 🧡💜🩶 2mo

Tamra Emotional support 💕 2mo

lil1inblue I agree with everyone here - sounds like you dogded a bad one! Glad you were able to have your father for emotional support! Wishing you all the best. 💓 2mo

Born.A.Reader Thank you everyone. ❤️ @AmyG @Texreader @Eggbeater @dabbe @Tamra @lil1inblue 2mo

Bookperson96 Could not agree more. Time with loved one‘s is important. 💗 Hope you are getting good news. Take care (also regarding heart-wise… 😉). 2mo

Lark Rise to Candleford - Trilogy: Lark Rise, Over to Candleford and Candleford Green | Flora Thompson

#ChunksterChallenge2025 @Amiable
#AllergicToChunksters @julieclair
#hashtagbrigade @BarkingMadRead

After 580 pages of my edition, I'm stunned that this only qualifies as a “bitsy“ chunkster. I feel like I just reached the summit of Everest and can now gladly glide down the other side. 😂

ferskner Ouch!!! 9mo

BarkingMadRead It‘s one of those baby chunks that sneak up on you and clobber you over the head 🤣 9mo

Amiable Some colossal chunksters glide by so smoothly we hardly know we‘ve moved, and certain bitsy ones make us work like Sisyphus. 😄 9mo

See All 10 Comments

dabbe @ferskner It was painful in quite a few places. 😂 9mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead And it's heavy enough to do some damage! 😂 9mo

dabbe @Amiable Exactly. I feel like I rolled a boulder up Mt. Everest. On a good note, I feel like I achieved quite a bit since I bailed on last month's #hashtagbrigade book. I was determined to finish this one! 💪🏻 9mo

BarkingMadRead No shade for bailing last time, almost everyone did 🤣🤣🤣 9mo

dabbe @BarkingMadRead And it was my 2nd time trying it. #oytotheultimatevey 🤩 9mo

julieclair Congrats for finishing! 🏆 I‘m still climbing uphill. But like you, I‘m determined to finish. 💪 9mo

dabbe @julieclair ❣️💪🏻❣️ 9mo

My score was sad. I have read only 16/100. My favorites are:

1. All the Light We Can Not see
2. Dracula
3. All the Pretty Horses

dabbe Not sad at all. More will be coming, and you're in fabulous company! I actually taught high school English and only scored a 20! Talke about sad! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 10mo

TheSpineView @dabbe 🤩🌞😍 10mo

dabbe @TheSpineView And what does one think about an English teacher who can't even spell “talk“ correctly? #oytotheultimatevey 😂 10mo

TheSpineView @dabbe It's all good...😆 10mo

A Thousand Ships | Natalie Haynes

Penelope's so done. 😆

dabbe What she had to put up with ... #oytotheultimatevey 😂 12mo

dabbe Have you ever read Dorothy Parker's “Penelope“? If not, here it is:
“In the pathway of the sun,
In the footsteps of the breeze,
Where the world and sky are one,
He shall ride the silver seas,
He shall cut the glittering wave.
I shall sit at home, and rock;
Rise, to heed a neighbor's knock;
Brew my tea, and snip my thread;
Bleach the linen for my bed.
They will call him brave.“ 12mo

Robotswithpersonality @dabbe I hadn't, no. That's beautiful. ♥️ 12mo
