I have seen the whole 3rd series as well. It had ups and downs as usual, but it has taken my being. To all who rag on this as a soap opera- that is exactly what it is, albeit a stunningly filmed and acted one IMO. Fantastic show.

Oh it's definitely a soap but so superbly done it doesn't matter to me.

how did that line go? no guest should be admitted without a departure scheduled? I adore Maggie Smith!

Temporary hijack. You ever think about getting back in teaching? What do you do now if you don't mind me asking.

Ha! I got a life and health insc. license and my wife bought into a veterinary practice. I might teach again at some point. I taught in some terrible schools though. 99% free or reduced,

Yeah, it's tough. But I'm not quite sure I'd be halfway decent at anything else. Unless I try to write a book about Hannibal Barca or Alexander Hamilton lol.

With EBR, and WBR, I got stuck with 8th grade. I am 6-12(ETA social studies) certified, but was always placed in G8 classes. If I had gotten a chance to teach high school, I might still be doing it. I know the feeling of not imagining anything else. You're in Ascension, right?

No I'm in EBR, teach 7th and 8th. I'd like to go to Ascension and high school. I feel that my knowledge and ability is wasted at where I'm at... Pearls before swine and all.

Whoa, wow. I'm guessing you've found a place you can actually do your job. My hands were tied behind my back with each job. CCAP at Glasgow CCAP at C.M.S. Inclusion at Port Allen Middle Tough gigs. They were killing me. /highjack. ETA: Time for takeout.

Oh I'm sorry I thought you were a waiter! Lol. CCAP is brutal. Yes I'm at a place I can do my job, I enjoy it most of the time. But of course not ideal.
