You do realise that Harry Potter isn't real, don't you?

Original Story

Florida substitute teacher fired, accused of wizardry

Teacher Jim Piculas does a magic trick where a toothpick disappears and then reappears.

Piculas recently did the 30-second trick in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes.Piculas said he then got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he'd been accused of wizardry.

"I get a call the middle of the day from head of supervisor of substitute teachers. He says, 'Jim, we have a huge issue, you can't take any more assignments you need to come in right away,'" he said.

Piculas said he did not know of any other accusations that would have led to the action.

The teacher said he is concerned that the incident may prevent him from getting future jobs.

This is a post about my sister and her friend, who were truly interesting cooks when they were teenagers. Interesting, in that they had some pretty stupid ideas. Thankfully, my sister has since learned (for the most part) to pay attention to what she’s doing and that you can’t always substitute some things. However, she’s still working on it (and yes, she is one of those people who puts something in the oven and then wanders away, how did you know?).

 

Cooking Disaster #1:

My sister invited a different friend over for lunch one day and decided to cook them both hotdogs. At the last second, my sister decided she would have some leftover salad instead. They were about halfway through eating when her friend mentioned that the hotdogs didn’t taste quite right. She pulled them out of the buns and examined them to find that, you guessed it, my sister had neglected to take the plastic off of the hotdogs before cooking and serving them.

 

Cooking Disaster #2:

For whatever reason, my sister and her friend decided to bake a cake. They got out a recipe book and were following it pretty closely… except for one tiny problem. The cake could be made as a chocolate cake or a lemon cake. But they mistakenly interpreted that as a chocolate and lemon cake. I wasn’t around for the final result, but according to my mother, it was pretty disgusting.

 

Cooking Disaster #3:

My sister wanted to bake a cake for a friend’s birthday, but we didn’t have any food coloring for the icing. After contacting her friend, they started looking around for something that could dye the icing purple. Well, it just so happened that we had some Kool-Aid packets lying around. So they tore open a package of Sour Grape and mixed it in. I think I can honestly say that’s one birthday cake that the ‘birthday boy’ won’t forget – my sister said he nearly threw up after he tried it.

If you're graduating high school soon, or have in the past, you know that fall of your senior year is the time to fill out college applications. Well, around... October, November, somewhere around there, me and a bunch of friends were in Study Hall at our school. Please note that this is a school for the "Gifted and Talented", you have to be tested to get into it. Well, about 10 of us were sitting around, and 3 or 4 (including me) were seniors. Those of us that were seniors were talking about where we applied and such.

Me: Oh, I only applied to _______, and I fall under automatic admission, so I'm already done.
Friend 1: I'm not even applying anywhere - I haven't taken the SATs yet, or anything. I'm just going to go to the community college my first year.
Friend 2: (points to a large - around 15 colleges high - stack of envelopes in front of him) I'm applying to all of these.

So, my first friend grabs the envelopes and starts flipping through them. All of a sudden, we here, "Hey, (Friend 2), what's St. Anford? Is it some religious college?"

He takes the envelope, and - looking very confused - reads the address. He hands it back to her, trying not to laugh, and says, "Ummm... (Friend 2), that's Stanford." Blank look. "As in, the Ivy League university."

"Ohhhhh..."

Meanwhile, all of the rest of us are in tears we're laughing so hard. Friend 2 then asked Friend 1 how she got into a gifted and talented school again.

Hey, look. Lilacs.

Tonight we decided, kinda last-minute, that we would go to the Lilac Festival for dinner. It was a beautiful evening, it was a weekday and we could (ostensibly) avoid crowds, M could get off work early, what could go wrong?

It was horrible! There was no parking. No parking! We spied only two small lots, both full, no street parking, ridiculous traffic...where are these thousands of visitors putting their cars? We drove for perhaps an hour trying to find a spot until we eventually parked about a mile away, not before being harassed by a police officer for not pulling in front of oncoming traffic. OK.

How do you feed three cranky people at a crowded festival? Consecutively, of course. After another full hour of waiting in lines for Italian sausage, a plain hot dog, and a Tahou's Garbage Plate, we were DONE. The music was terrible, the exhibitors were boring, the crowds obnoxious, and I just wanted to go home and scream into a pillow. We did run into Pat, Fran, and Greta, who were probably wondering why I was sullenly stabbing at my macaroni salad instead of being sociable. My apologies, kids! It was nice to see you!

Oh, we are perhaps just not festival people.
Not that you could tell here: )

Help!

I seem to have a problem...

I don't know if it's b/c there's been a lull in time where I haven't crocheted (thanks to 2 carpal tunnel surgeries, almost back to back!), but I can't seem to be able to keep a long chain that I've slip-stitched to the beginning of the chain to stay even & in place. As in, it's crooked/twisted, and I don't realize it till I've finished the 1st or 2nd row. I don't seem to remember having this sort of problem before!

Has this happened to any of you? Does anyone have any tips/tricks that could help me out w/this? I'm so frustrated! There's a pattern I'm trying to follow, a baby poncho (pics here, at the bottom left corner I'm trying to make for a friend who is expecting (as well as an adorable skirt I'd like to try & make for my kiddo later on) that requires me to slip stitch a very long chain, and I'm tired of frogging & starting over! :(
