I dunno where I'd get a four foot tall slab of lino around my parts, though :D

One thing that worked for us was a choice board (works with my recalcitrant students too), which gives her the illusion of control.

I thought doing this would salve my dysphoria. Boy, was *I* wrong.

"Stop resisting!" says the bastard as he clubs the person who is not resisting.

Vibes. I'd go thru the usual litany of "have you tried"s but I won't belittle you like that. I went thru a big part of my life with little/no sleep (apnea) so you have my love getting thru this... It just makes everything else the harder.

Tell me about it! I'm in a race against time to reach retirement age before my "invisible" disability makes me unable to work at all. And that deadline could happen any day.
I guess in their minds I could be a deaf ditchdigger with a Masters in Ed...

The graphic designer in me thinks adding a picture behind each, at like 20% opacity, might help. Then again, I had a poster in my room all year (with ONE sentence), included info from it on my final, and most of my students got it wrong.

I saw it in person once, came around the corner in the museum and BAM, there it was. Oof!

Sargent's 'Lady Agnew of Lochnaw'. His loose style combined with his depiction of beauty is just... Awesome.

For us it was an abandoned Datsun in an overgrown field, but I'm picking up what you're putting down.

...thought: contact paper for stencil?

How I would do it:
I'd use butcher paper to make a stencil and adhere it with a crapload of blue tack (because of canvas texture). Then use a rust color spray paint for a first layer, let totally dry, then red spray paint.

Look at something like Penny Arcade or any other long running webcomic. Look at the beginning - they just Did The Thing, getting good came with the work.

Just did a fish fry for my coworkers. Just simple whitefish fillets in a (club soda) beer batter, and some fries, but it was nice to be able to do that for them. I spend most of my time either in my classroom or chumming with the Adaptive Ed kids.
Food's my love language, I guess.

I grew up thinking space draculas suck your life force from their fingers, like in Buck Rogers.

For me, flexibility in power creation. I bought a copy of Champions thirty+ years ago because I wanted to dig into the power system; never got to play it. Picked up GURPS Supers for the same reason around the same time.
Tho I believe a high level of crunch isn't *necessary* for that flexibility.

It happens every Republican power cycle. They run up the debt, then when a Democratic power cycle comes along, the blame falls on them for the debt.

You guys DRINK? That's so unmanly. Real men collapse to the ground in dehydration, the flesh of their lips crumbling into sheaves of dead skin.
