7 hours of tutoring this week

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 6h

And it may wind up being 8. I just picked up a new student yesterday and he gets 2 hours per week. We are set for today and possibly Friday if his schedule works out. The new student is for biology which makes my life easy. If I...

Good afternoon myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 7h

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 22 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. It doesn't feel as cold as it has lately because the wind has died down. I'm done with in-person work for the day and I'm back...

I can’t even with these people

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 10h

Somehow I became like a non-entity in the family while going through a divorce. They stopped inviting me places and including me in things. It was hurtful especially since my heart was already breaking. But whatever I’ve gotten...

Trump doesn't know the difference between political asylum and an insane asylum

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 21 Jan

We all know that Trump lies as he breathes, makes stuff up, and isn't particularly interested in becoming educated on national or world issues. I could write 2 books on the insane stuff he has claimed and I'm not even an author. I...

Nothing says "backing the blue" by pardoning 1500 January 6 protestors

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 21 Jan

including those who violently attacked, injured, and caused the death of law enforcement officers. Trump loves to pretend like he supports police despite the fact that he has called the January 6 rioters who planned and attacked...

Tutoring voucher drama

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 21 Jan

As you know I do a lot of online tutoring after work during the week. No one wants to do several of the sciences (biology, earth science, environmental science, forensic science) so the secretaries at all 3 district high schools...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 22 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. I'm over winter! Work was annoying today but I will get into that in another post. I am back at the apartment with the cat...

Thank Darwin the war in Ukraine is over, right?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 21 Jan

Trump promised over and over and over again that the war between Russia and Ukraine would be over on day 1 of his presidency. It has been almost 25 hours so it’s all wrapped up, right? Trump solved it, correct? Wrong. Putin...

Wow with the last minute Biden pardons

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 20 Jan

I understand why Biden pardoned Hunter and others this morning on the January 6 Committee, Dr. Fauci, Harry Dunn, etc. . . but I don't get why he included other family members at the last moment. That wasn't announced until he was...

Well Trump is president again

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 20 Jan

I could have vomited watching him take the oath again. I had an hour of tutoring directly before it so I missed most of the big views and moves before the actual ceremony. I definitely recognized Brett "I like beer" Kavanaugh's...

Whew looks like the site is working again. Not sure what is going on here lately. . . I was up in the middle of the night but then got back to sleep until about 6:30. It is crazy how my sleep is nuts on days off. Oh well I just...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 20 Jan

I woke up at 1:30am and found myself wide awake. I just went with it and got up. There's no point in laying in bed getting frustrated. So here I am at 2 am sitting here at the computer and with the TV on. Oh well. I will continue...

TikTok is down in the US

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 18 Jan

I must confess that I haven't paid any attention to the whole proposed TikTok ban because it simply isn't an app that I use. Congress passed legislation banning it in the US due to concerns about Chinese spying and influence. The...

WTF with the very end of the season finale of Outlander?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120811) • United States 18 Jan

I'm a die-hard fan of the books and TV adaptation of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Yesterday I got back here after work at 2 but had to wait to watch the season 7 finale. That was rough. I've watched it several times...
