I have well water. We’ve never dried up BUT the water is disgusting for drinking and causes digestive issues in people. I do use it for things like pasta or other dishes where it’ll be boiled but I would never drink it straight from the tap.

Oh! Someone asked this on the UV FB group and the consensus was Rejuvenate in Thetford. I “liked” their page as a bookmark to myself to book there sometime in the near future.

Her prices look reasonable too.

I didn’t equate them at all. You must have misinterpreted what I wrote. I said exactly the same thing you just did, just in different words. I said I didn’t have the expectations teachers do, you just spelled out this expectations. We’re all on the same side here.

As I said, I subbed for six years and I loved it. I left because sub pay isn’t sustainable.

Granted, I didn’t have the expectations on me that teachers do, BUT I had to deal with classroom management and some tough kids.

Those people on that sub should not be teaching.

Not a teacher but a parent. I subbed in schools for 6 years and my mom recently retired from teaching in VT. My stepdad is a teacher, my bio dad and step mother are retired administrators.

My concern is r/teachers. My god. I read some of those posts and the negativity and how they clearly hate their students and I am scared for my daughter and her classmates.

Yes, budget cuts are real and are a concern. Programs are being taken away. My kid is and always has been a middle of the road kid. Not IEP, only on a medical 504, not high honors. She’s honor roll or just below. She’s in the group that all of the programs have been cut from. No more two day field trips to Plimouth. No more salmon swimming. No more ski program. No more enrichment.

So you have budget cuts that bring in teachers who hate teaching and hate the kids and what do you get? Unhappy, under educated students.

My mom said even with her worst behaved students, she tried to find at least one thing to like and connect with them on. What is so hard about that?

No suggestions, just jumping in to say congrats on your sobriety!!

As you’re driving through town you’ll see a lot of different restaurants.

My favorite has always been Mr Darcy’s. Their parmesan truffle fries are to die for. I haven’t been since they changed ownership, though, so I can’t say if it’s still the same but they have great food and a good atmosphere.

I take my daughter (17 - biracial) to Boston for braiding. Everything else she does herself.

“Libs” is not something someone who is liberal would ever say. “Libs” is a derogatory term used by Trump and his followers which is why I stop listening.

The minute anybody says “libs” I automatically stop listening.

It was awful. I switched to a National bank and am much happier.
