Normally he just posts cartoons so I think he's not all there. Don't mind him.

A question I have is, if I get the flu, does that make it easier to get COVID because my immune system would be taxed to the point of making a corona infection easier, essentially lessening the the effectiveness of the mRNA vaccine? Perhaps @we_gotta_believe can offer some insight? They had my wife spread flu and booster a week apart.

Not sure if it makes you more susceptible to getting infected if exposed (in theory I suppose it's possible) but it likely makes you more susceptible to worsening disease for the reasons you mentioned. Definitely get the flu shot.

Get a real round the calendar job if you want more money. 10 minutes ago, DBW said: They don’t really get 3 months off. With teacher work days they get about 8 week off over summer. Districts typically pay you as a 12 month employee though some have the option of 10 months as that’s the length of the contract. There’s no ability to make more money if they were to hypothetically work year round. It’s a 10 month contract at $X paid out in 12 months so really they make less each paycheck that they should because it’s being stretched over 12 months. Alot of teachers work second jobs at night and over summer. At least the newer teachers. Once you’re tenured and have a bunch of years and bump up on the pay scale then maybe you don’t have to do that. So do film loggers at NFL films since they have, get this, jobs that don't go year round. Thank you for bolstering my point.

That's one. Or if you want a religious education. I find the teachers aren't any better... Unless you can afford some ultra-wealthy prep school or something like that.

A lot of nfl films guys are freelance and only contracted for particular jobs aich as hard knocks then they take a contract for another project. They aren’t technically employed by the nfl. I have friends that do this so I know how it works.

I haven’t tested yet but I’m not sick at all. Granted, I have the blood and BMI of a Greek God so no surprise there. Hoping they all recover quickly. Tell the kids take it easy with sports / physical activity for a few days.

They aren’t technically employed by the nfl. I have friends that do this so I know how it works. I was specifically talking about film loggers since I actually know how they operate that section of NFL films. My roommate was a film logger for them from 2001-2004. In the offseason he worked at Red Lobster. The happy ending to that story is this: Unlike teachers, he was a motivated person. Packed up and moved to Cali. Had some lean times (had to sell his camera to make rent) but he's doing well and is now a producer. (But he won't float my Weekend At Bernies reboot pitch to anyone )

Unless you can afford some ultra-wealthy prep school or something like that. I always felt like religion was always a huge driver to private education. No thanks. I'd rather not waste my child's time with more fantasies when they should be educated.

But I know people that spend 30k a year on it and their kids can’t pass a basic math test. It’s scary. That being said if I was living in Florida I would certainly go public or charter because the school systems there are trash. Any kid can go to any school they want even if they don’t live in the district. So the "good” schools are over crowded and that leads to a lot of issues. I don’t necessarily have an issue with private or charter schools but it really depends on the particular school and what the public system is like.

Are you saying if I send baby girl to private school she is destined to become a public school teacher
January 6, 20224 yr Just now, paco said: We are going to start with Assumption and go from there I went to public school until the 5th grade. Then to Independence -- a private K-8 school in Newark (on Paper Mill Road). Then St. Mark's. Archmere was a great school as well, at least back then. Sanford/Tatnall/Tower Hill -- all overpriced and bunch of spoiled rich kids.
