1 + 1 - 1 -1 = 0 Equation #5

isobe.typepad.com

Remember the game of telephone?  Today I received texts that reminded me of the game.  Text one told me the sheriff was at the upstairs condo.  Text two said the same thing, but added a squatter was living in the condo above me.  This is crazy.  If someone was living up there, I would hear them and/or see them.  First, the plumbing needs work and the pipes actually vibrate, so I can hear them.  After I sent one text back explaining why it couldn't happen, I received the same text about the squatter and sheriff.  I sent another text explaining the sheriff's presence as more of a formality because eviction papers were taped to the door, so this was probably a follow up since no one answered the first set of eviction papers.  My hope is that my two logical texts voided the first to illogical texts.  For some reason, I expect more out of adults.

BTW- I'm having some good conversations with the seventh graders about media.  Maybe they will continue to pass on this information (using facts) with their friends and parents.

Wait!  I titled two equations as three, so this is really number five.  How can I participate in a equation competition if I can't count to five?!

Why do they think there's a squatter there? Weird.

I've decided not to count my posts. I'll just keep blogging equations through June and see what happens.

How many more days do you have left with your kiddos?

The sheriff came to deliver another eviction notice. The first was taped to the door that our two units shared. When two neighbors saw the sheriff, they added their own twist.

Our last day is June 12th. We're finishing the year with media literacy. Today we're talking about social media using political cartoons.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
