@mrsjohnmarston, it is brutally cold here, too! One of the coldest days this winter. It was only 43 but nice and sunny. I want it to be in the 70's again, like normal!
I wish I could talk about the Bachelor on this thread. I finally caught up after this last week's episode and man, I LOVE this show! I am so addicted to this garbage! Haha. I love Whitney. So not because she's a fertility nurse or anything...

Excited...And also fairly judgmental regarding people who decide to buy homes while also having other debts (which, I'd assume is a large portion of people on this board).
That'd be me. MH and I have 2 loans for cars and our house. But God forbid, we didn't buy because we had our car loans. If that was the case we probably would have never have bought because MH buys and sells cars almost as much as he changes underwear. But like someone said earlier, if I'm going to be making a monthly payment I'd rather it be going towards equity on my own home instead of nothing.
My H and I have one car loan and are buying a house probably next year. I'm also in nursing school. Thankfully I have a scholarship that's pays 75% so it's not a huge expense atm. Where I live it is A LOT cheaper to buy than It is to rent and there is a huge rental property shortage because everyone is buying right now. I agree though. I would rather my $1000 a month go to a home of my own than my apartment.

Did you try putting on that sexy outfit in your avatar? What man could resist?!
I have! He is broken.
Mine ' s broken too. I gave up on lingerie a while ago. H turns 40 in three weeks. He's talking about major life changes. I'm hoping more sex is in the plan.

Whitney is the only one left I like! I mean, Becca is okay, but meh. I don't know like Kaitlyn. I don't know why, I just don't.
My randoms for the night: I managed to get a lawyer who specializes in educational/school law and a college history professor for interviews covering the stupid APUSH bill. My student procured a legislator who voted against it in committee. We both feel very accomplished.
I spoke with both counselors about my student who is in an abusive relationship. We all agreed it is time to bring the parents in. I'm a little scared.
I had former students give $65 and $75 to our GoFundMe project today for our band trip and it warmed my heart. Neither were band kids. One was just a Capstone student of mine who apparently loved our school, and the other didn't even graduate with us but she was a beloved student of mine. It warmed my heart.
My heart was also warmed when a band kid brought a painting down for me to see. He finished it today, and has been working on it since the day we came back from winter break. It was beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. He framed it and was going to give it to his mom as a birthday slash Christmas gift. I hope she loves it as much as I did.
I made steak for dinner. There is a lot of butter on my steak. It's delicious.
I saw an article about this this morning on my FB feed and thought of you. I read this:
"State Rep. Dan Fisher (R) introduced a bill at the beginning of the month that keeps the state from funding AP U.S. History unless the College Board changes the curriculum. The bill also orders the state Department of Education to establish a U.S. History program that would replace the AP course."
I have no knowledge of the curriculum. Is that the real issue here? Or is it a cover-up? I'm confused why they would want to get rid of it!
Yes, that's the issue. Fisher doesn't like the curriculum for whatever reason (something about "American exceptionalism") and wants to add some things in. Like the 10 commandments. Because that has so much to do with American history. He's already backpedaled because of the backlash and said the bill will be re-written to be more clear, but it just needs to be abandoned.
If passed, schools would not get state funding for teaching APUSH. That means money for books, teacher development, free/reduced lunch student reduced rates for taking the exam, and more. We could still teach the class, but we would get nothing for doing it.
Also, the bill is labeled an "emergency" in its text, because he wants to spend over $3M to do it and implement a new curriculum, new textbooks, and a new EOI starting this next school year. It's impossible. Our elected government in this state is impossible.
I'm about the crawl out of my skin... I can't tell if I'm symptom spotting (since my stomach wasn't great this morning anyway) or if I'm just STUPID excited. I was just asked to show a $1.4 million house which is easily 3x the price of any home I've ever sold. I'm like... I can't even. I can't odd. I just can't.
