That has been in place for well over seven years now. Of course Chef has had ZERO notification about a so called "new system" in any school correspondence heretofore that I will relate below about:

Backstory: Noticed that the web portal for both skid's grades has all the OLD info from last year on it. Wrote the princiPAL (of the Girhippo) and he stated that they are using a DIFFERENT system that is not yet up and running. . .and that if Chef has any questions, to contact the skid's teachers/basically to wait until the first report card comes out in the mail.

This is the 4th cell phone SD (stb 18) has ruined within the year. Probably lots more electronic devices have bit the dust (ipad, kindle--no wait, SD doesn't read) I met this phenomenon early on when SD, at the ripe old age of 6 1/2, slammed the shower door (safety glass thank god) repeatedly so hard that it fell off! She was far more destructive than her brothers--except for when YSS purposely shit all over my house and rubbed it into the furniture.

My parents are still married after almost 60 years now but I DID have a step grandfather. We called him "Grampa Dave." We were taught to respect him and to be polite and kind. My fondest memories of Grampa Dave was that he gave me a range finder when I was about 8 years old.

He was an electrical engineer by trade and saw that I had a mechanical streak. My parents always told me that I was "mechanically inclined for a girl." LOL, a statement like that nowadays would be a call straight to CPS or the ACLU!!!

Sung to the tune of "Roar" by Katie Perry

I used to tape my room and make a mess
Always rocked the boat and held my breath
So-I-yelled noisily, protested angrily

I guess that I forgot I paid no bills
I said you push me all against my will
I stood for in-sol-ence; so I fought on everything

I dis-obeyed,
At every chance (HEY)
Just stood there and blew off some gas
I kicked the cat,
