Saw a valentines gift idea on YouTube shorts. I posted and then deleted just incase it was borderline. It was a coffee cup that was kinda racy. I’m wondering who would actually buy this coffee cup.
My coffee mug at home has F*** OFF written across it

Just looked more closely at the gift idea.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM WRAPPINESS!!!

I ordered 3 custom Christmas ornaments from them in OCTOBER. The second attempt they made to ship them arrived while we were in Argentina. And ever since my order, I have received 4-5 emails a week from them trying to sell me more stuff. Arrgh!!!

My boss listed his spec house the other day. A guy called him, asked if the bathtub in the master was a jacuzzi tub. It's not, just a regular soaking tub. Then the guy asked if it can fit 2 people because him and his wife like to take baths together. The guy straight up said that.
If you know you want it might as well make sure it is there.

My mom passed away last year on Super Bowl Sunday. I missed the game entirely. I didn't think, since the date of the game changes every year, that it would even be something of note. But I think I was wrong about that.

My wife is going back to school to become a teacher for elementary/preschool. The lack of support she has received from other teachers has been a little bit disappointing. I understand that the teaching profession is difficult and underpaid, but she has received very little encouragement from other teachers. One teacher repeatedly questioned why she was even trying to be a teacher.

Not exactly sure.

Having been married to one for a long time and been in circles of several area school teachers, they are all pretty much the same. The elementary side is a pretty negative group. I’m not surprised.

I don't know if anybody thinks their profession is any good right now. Which is weird because wages are generally pretty good, everybody has more time-off than they previously did, and work is more flexible and accommodating than ever. From what I can tell it is teachers, police officers and doctors that seem to be the most frustrated with their professional outlooks.

Elementary school teachers do work especially hard but also truly love what they do.

Elementary teachers get the most crap situations also. Those are the Guinea pig rooms so to speak. Someone somewhere comes up with a hair brain idea of something and they install it on that level. Then they blame them if it doesn’t work and/or screws up things worse.
