Title: Hello
Post by: Ramius on October 24, 2008, 08:31:46 AM
Hi to everyone who remembers me. I'm Antimony's SO and the one on WOD who never said much. I just don't type fast enough. By the time I answered something, I was three sentences behind.

I'm still a teacher (been doing this since 1971, since 1972 at this school). I teach US History and Psychology. Actually, Antimony teaches at the same school as I do. Saves money on gas. Just as a note in passing, I also spent 17 years as a coach. I did tennis, track, lacrosse, and football. I was best at football. When I coached tennis, my criteria for making the team was that you had to be better than me. Fortunately for the kids, that wasn't too hard.

I still have 2 kids, but now I have 5 grandchildren, too. I guess that makes me old.

I've been playing AoC but recently I started playing Warhammer and am having a good time.

I'm also enjoying Penn State's good year in football. If you remember Ramius, you may recall that he was always dressed in blue and white. I started at Penn State the year before Joe Paterno became the head coach. I guess that makes me really old.

I bet you're not.  He's got 10 years on you, dude.

I like them too.  Now that they finally stopped SCREAMING and peeing.   And I get to have another excuse to shop at Toys R Us.

Welcome, Ramius.

We're in the screaming phase.  It's terrible.  :(  I say, "That hurts mommy's ears" a lot.

Ow.  Ramius's grand-daughter had colic as a baby, whateverthehell that is.

And she had lungs like an air raid siren.

And she never even stopped to inhale for the first 18 months.

It drove me out of a mall once.

"I'll be in the car."

Jesus!

She's really cool now though.

she screams when she's excited, or when she doesn't feel like we're paying attention to her.  I should probably just write this in the other thread but i think we're going to have to start Time Outs or something.  She has a naughty/disobedient streak that I need to nip in the bud.  :(

Also... Hello, Ramius.  I'm looking forward to an Iowa (over) Penn Sate upset in a few weeks :)

Hmmm... after looking back on this thread, it seems like I missed hitting the post button before I closed the window.

So... hello and welcome

I also had Chipotle for lunch.

*offers Ramius 2 chipotle burritos* (to either eat or share)

I was told that bribery works well to keep people around.
