Yeah. I miss thump.

Yeah. I miss thump.

Me too.  You should do what I do and stalk him at the thinking atheist forums.

You do realize she has drunk it by now, don't you?

Lol, I was just gonna say.  No time for wine to collect in this household!  😝

I was watching a cooking programme a while ago and one of the ingredients was "leftover wine" I didn't understand what that was.

If the bottle is open it is emptied that night.

Gonna take some time off. Nothing dramatic or anything, and I'll be back. Just need some more me time.

[Edwardo Piet]

Sorry guys. But I just got back from the best day of my life and I've got to go.

Got to go and piss in the toilet because I'm drunk on vodka and orange. Then I'm back again.

Take care of yourself and enjoy your “me time”. Don’t forget to come back

Hi! Thanks for asking. Too busy IRL to participate in forums much. Family and job(s) keep me insanely occupied to the point where I sometimes don't have any spare time at all days in a row. It'll get better soon I hope, next summer the latest.

I taught high school physics and math for two years between aerospace/defense jobs. I hope that you are teaching the AP courses, because those kids are actually interested (or at least, their parents are pushing them). I taught entertainment industry brats at a private school. I'd have given a tooth for kids that wanted to be there, as opposed to sitting back in their chairs with their shoes up on the desk, picking their teeth, and asking, "When will we ever use this!?". My favorite question was "Why are you doing this to us!?". I told one of the other teachers that I should tell them "I've come for your soul. Give it to me now!" He had a chuckle out of that.

Do they try to teach physics and math to slackers in Germany?

"When will we ever use this!?".

Best answer to that is "on the test, asshole."
