This is a shot in the dark, but oh why not. I am seeking corporate sponsors for my Realy for Life for the American Cancer Society to match fundraising or make a contribution. If you happen to work for a company that might be willing to be a sponsor, I would love to hear from you.
Here’s a link to my Relay page.

Thank you, @NOLAGrrlNYC!
karlaakins:
Your comments to my students on their blog were awesome, @NOLAGrrlNYC!
I knew tumblr could be counted on to make my students smile!
For those who are interested, you can post on my special needs students’ posts on friendship here:

How they get from there to here
After seeing fancycwabs’ post, I took a quick peek at my analytics (a lady can do that, shut up) and here’s what I found were pathways to … well, here.
window voyeur tumblr - well of course there would be voyeurs here
7 train queens - that’s the borough of NY, not royalty or someone in drag, or is it?
are most people too dumb for physics - I think physics affects...

pie0 replied to your link: Comic Sans Criminal
Personally, I don’t find it easier to read. But there are many other types of dyslexics than me :)
The website has a section about fonts other than comic sans that some (because you make a great point about the divergent types of dyslexics) have found easier to read. I don’t recall seeing as much about this before, although I am certainly no...

I did not know that a redeeming quality of this abused font is that it has been found to make reading easier for dyslexics. That’s kind of cool.
Unpopular opinions:
I still like Nic Cage and I’ve never had a problem with Comic Sans.
As the link shows, it has its place. But unfortunately, too much of a good thing can turn very wrong. I read something recently...

OK maybe I've hit my limit for the day
Think I overheated my brain. I just wondered why the Excel formulas were yelling at me because they were in ALL CAPS.

Well don't believe everything you see
corvidae30 replied to your post: Either they were raised by wolves
I always wanted to see Mardi Gras when I was a kid. Then I got older and saw some news footage…I’d still like to see New Orleans, but I think I’ll stay away from Mardi Gras…
Most of the footage is from the French Quarter which is very different from the more residential area near my house. It’s a great city that you should...

Either they were raised by wolves
or I’m just getting old. But the last weekend of Mardi Gras is losing some of its charm for me. I know its the greatest free show on Earth but it isn’t free to those of us who live here. We gladly and graciously welcome everyone and in return we have our private property abused and literally trashed.
People have come to expect that the trash will be magically whisked away from the...

no, thank YOU
timbalanced:
Julie sent out an email this morning thanking everyone who donated. It was sweet and funny and totally Julie.
I have mixed feelings about making this public, because I tend to keep my personal stuff personal, however, I feel like I’m speaking for a lot of people when I say: Julie, giving you a small financial contribution is nothing compared to what you’ve given me. I’m grateful...
I'm just surprised it wasn't covered with beads
ashamedtosay replied to your photoset: One of these things doesn’t belong here. One of…
Bottom right - that is a photo of Chicago. The rest are NOLA.
Or maybe we could just take some of the post-Mardi Gras debris, since they measure the success of the season by the amount of trash, and fill some of the potholes. Free filler. It’s win-win.
