    Dear girls that have uploaded their whole weddings to fb,

    All my pictures are super high resolution so they either take around 10 min a piece to upload or I have to resize them prior to uploading.  How did you upload yours without it taking hours and hours?  Or am I just lazy and you ladies did it anyways even with it taking hours?

    -Girl who only uploaded 80 because I just couldnt sit there for hours.

    Dear BL,

    I didn't even load all of them, only picked my favorites mostly.  I posted a lot for those that are always on FB that I don't see often and that I know would like to see the pics.  There are 2 resolution options when you create an album and I specifically didn't do high resolution bc I didn't want to sit there for hours.  Everything I loaded last night took about 30 mins total, which I thought was fast.

    ~Girl who posted a bunch of wedding pics! :)

  • I also didn't post all of mine.  I just posted the details and a few pics from each of the main events (dances, cake cutting, etc).

  • Dear Nesties,

    Check out this video it's pretty crazy. "How close to a train track can you set up a vegetable market?"

  • Julie - I wouldn't accept the mom..wouldn't it be a conflict of interest of something?

    Lacy - Can you really block some friends from seeing your status updates?  I have a couple of people that I would like to do that to.

    BL - We're getting the high res pictures this week on DVDs.  I just uploaded the low res watermarked pics to FB and they didn't take long at all.

    Ditto.  Plus out of respect to Lynn, I actually think this is what she prefers.

    Dear Tiffany, I am so sorry to hear about your AC! 

    Dear GM Nesties, I made my first GM today.  I did a banana, skim milk (because I need to use it up), cocoa powder, natural peanut butter, and ice.  Oh and spinach.  It's good but not sweet enough.  Oh well, it was my first try.  Oh, and I can't taste the spinach at all.

    Dear Bachelorette, This season is a snoozefest.  I hope I can make it through the whole season. 

    Dear Nesties, my desk is covered.  Hope I can check in again later.

  • Julie - I just wouldn't add her.  If she questions, hopefully anyone she rants to would understand why.  Maybe say it's against district policy if she asks?

    This.  Or say it's your own personal policy that you do not add student's parents.  Say your FB is for your personal use - to connect with friends and is not used in any professional manner - and she only applies to the professional side of your life.

    Ditto to both of these! I would deny the request and send her a private message back stating one of the above mentioned excuses...and "you hope she can understand"

    Yes!  Go to your privacy settings and click on customize settings and under "Posts by me" click "Custom" and then it will let you enter their names under "hide this from:"

  • Thanks, girls.  I may just let it sit there for a while and then reject it later. 
  • Thanks ladies, I think I uploaded my faves from each of the different parts and will just stick with that.  I did the low-resoulution option on some of them and it made them look odd with the color so I chose hi-res for the rest.

    Julie, I either wouldnt add her at all or add her but block everything else so she cant really see anything.

    Stephanie, I agree on the bachelorette and on the GM did you use a ripe banana?  The riper the banana the sweeter it will be sometimes I add in super sweet strawberries or pineapple when they are in season because they have a higher sugar content.  Every once in a while I will add in a little stevia to sweeten.  When you add cocoa powder it can make it a little bitter if there is not enough sugar.

  • Thanks Bobbieleigh those are good tips.  It was still OK--I drank it all up!  Tomorrow I am going to try a berry one. 

  • Dear allergy doctor-

    You weird me out.  I also didn't need your lesson on infertility or to be told to hurry it up.  We are very aware of our 'situation', thank you.

    Dear Mike S. at Albertson's-

    I was having a semi crappy morning today so I thought it was very kind of you to take my basket and all the items in my arms that hadn't yet made it into my basket to the counter and check me out.  You brightened my day.

    Dear interview/interviewer-

    I don't feel I hit it out of the ball park or set off fireworks or anything like that but it did go pretty well if I do say so myself.  If it works out, it works out.

  • Dear Jaymi,

    I've been to an ENT and an allergist and they both just wanted to talk about other things, and not the fact that I couldn't breath out of my nose.  Both came highly recommended by friends but I was so annoyed I just never went back. 

  • Julie,

    I wouldn't add her either. If you feel the need, you could send her a message and say you have a personal policy of not being "friends" with students or their parents just because it's easier, and it's nothing personal.

  • Thanks everyone.  I was supposed to hear back today but nothing yet.

    Glad your A/C is back on, Tiffany.

    Summer - Have you had any weird symptoms with Topamax? I had to get off of it after taking it for three years as I began falling all the time, like just walking and then falling and I was losing the feeling in my hands and legs. Another friend of mine had the same thing happen, so I was just wondering if that was common? Also - can you taste carbonation? That was the weirdest thing for me, everything tasting flat. I missed champagne. - Leslie

    I used to take Topamax as well.  I had the tingling and numbness in my fingers but more disturbingly I wasn't able to think of words in conversations.  I'd answer the phone at the physician's office I worked at at the time and my words would randomly come out all jumbled or I just couldn't find the words at all.  My doc told me its referred to as "Dope-amax" for a reason, so I'm assuming that meant the cognitive side effects were normal.  I also believe it increases your risk of kidney stones, but I'm not certain.  I had a friend who started it and within a year she had developed 12 kidney stones.  This happened to a few other people I've met as well, but thank god I did not have this issue.
