Get Well Soon, Bananas! Ice cream and milkshakes are the best medicine.

Ice cream, milkshakes and someone to get them for you...priceless! I hope this weekend finds you feeling better.

Thank you! My temp is gone, knock on woods. I went to church and breakfast this morning, so the rest of my day is on the couch. My mug was back in my hands this morning to hold the hot coffee which goes down the throat easily. :D

Jello is better than milkshakes... milkshakes are tasty at the time, but anything milk-based tends to create phlegm which causes coughing which can make a sore throat feel worse.

Good to know. Popsicles are also really nice...

hweber
07-20-2008, 07:02 PM
and there are fruit Popsicles that are really healthy for you. Addict, I really really want one of those travel mugs.

yep, I am. I am in a graduate class for the next two weeks, so will be posting my little heart out late at night.

07-22-2008, 12:16 AM
will the posts be meaningful or just posts for the sake of a stainless steel mug? =)

Bananas
07-22-2008, 10:30 AM
The previous posts have had meaning, Silvana. :D

Boxcar
07-22-2008, 06:35 PM
Gosh Silvana! Are you speaking about meaningless posts like you have experience writing them? I would think so...

Bananas
07-22-2008, 06:41 PM
Silvana better watch her tongue or she won't make it through customs to get her coffee mug. Will the CMQCPC (Coffee Mug Quality Control Post Committee) need to convene and look over her posts before her mug is handed over? :confused:

hweber
07-22-2008, 07:34 PM
Silvana, I will try to make my posts meaningful. But the brain gets tired when it is not being energized by caffeine. The morning and evening drive to school are long and I get so thirsty. So, I will try to be good, and not post meaningless diatribes. Wish I could be as funny as Bananas and boxcar

silvana
07-23-2008, 01:27 AM
oh come on Bananas and Boxcar, seriously.......that was posted very tongue in cheek and given the quality of our " finish the sentence " diatribe I would not even begin to suggest what is and what is not meaningful. hweber....post as you want to post meaningless or whatever I just could not resist teasing you about the mug, since it as been an ongoing obsession of mine since I passed 250 and did not receive one because I am in the UK....... its a flaw....=( I did get an "attaboy" ummmm but well it could not take away the pain of not getting a mug.....

hweber
07-23-2008, 03:27 PM
okay silvana. I wasn't sure. That is a major fault, I can't tell when people are teasing. Is that what the little icon meant? Was your attaboy for getting 250 posts? The other flaw is that I do tend to get obsessed about things. mugmugmugmugmugmugmugmugmug...

hweber, if you want you mug, just keep bringing your mug here to post!

Okay, this is number 250. So Addict what happens now. I really love this site and this is really my first foray into message boards. I love the sharing of ideas, lessons, gripes (So that I know I am not alone) and the friendships that are formed. Addict, you have done a great job.

How do you get the mugs?

silvana
07-24-2008, 01:13 AM
you post 250 messages on the forum and if you are in the USA you get a pretty stainless steel mug if you live elsewhere you get nothing ....fair trade I am not bitter lol and that is a joke people =)



no the icon is the sad face =( look at it sideways and this is my happy face =) congratulations on your mug hweber well deserved....

hweber
07-24-2008, 03:33 AM
Thanks silvana. I would love to visit England again. I loved it there. Of course I am a history geek and dragged my husband to all sorts of places that he hated, but I loved.

Yes you can't move much without bumping into something roman or anglo saxon...the town I live in is a castle town and has the castle ....the town I work in also has a very old town hall ....I love America but not quite as much as Italy there you really meet art and history and neat clothes too!

We tried to get to a castle, but it was March and the castle was closed. Rats. Maybe someday.

Not necessarily... there are a lot of people who join and don't post a lot on here. You have some time. :)

Being that this is only my seond post, I've got quite a long way to go! Is there a deadline one has to reach before this promotion ends? If I win a mug, I'm going to save it for my first day of teaching, which won't be until 2012.

Addict
08-04-2008, 02:35 PM
Jena - It will end when we have given away all of the mugs (25) for this promotion. The countdown is in the first post of this thread. :)

They will still be given away on The Teacher's Corner in some promo or another, it is just that this one will end.

I'm loving it already! I'm going to fill it Monday morning when I pick up my friend from the Coffee Shop. I talked my barista (she's a future teacher) into helping me hang posters in my classroom. :)

hweber
08-09-2008, 11:55 AM
That is great merrynl. My son, who is a senior, will be coming with me monday morning bright and early to help me move into my room and unpack. He will also be helping the office gals. These will be his senior hours. I plan on breaking in my mug on Monday too.

We would love to see you around!

Don't forget... if you refer 5 friends using your referral link, they will get the same offer, plus when they all get to 250 - you get another free item (which is being manufactured right now :) ).

Either way they are great little bonuses for sticking around the forums!

I need to get more clawillrification on refferral link, kindly let me know how i can send referral link to my friends and how this will be checked that they came thru this referral link or any other source. Thanks

Addict
01-02-2009, 06:37 AM
gulmm2002 - welcome to the forums!

Just a reminder - due to shipping costs, this giveaway is for U.S. Residents only. Also we have 4 mugs left - so I am still waiting for the last members to let me know when they hit 250 posts. Once the 4 are gone, this giveaway will be over.

As far as the referral link, you can see the details in the first post of this thread (http://www.theteacherscorner.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3652) - basically, users (who are U.S. residents can refer members using their 'special' referral link. That link can be placed in emails to your friends. To obtain the 'special' link, you must follow the directions in the post I indicated above. BUT KEEP IN MIND, this giveaway is almost over - we have 4 mugs left.

When my posts reach 250, in the year 2012 ,could I sent my pet kangaroo across the ocean to pick it up? There should be room in her pouch.

Addict
01-08-2009, 06:57 PM
If you send your kangaroo across, you don't have to wait til 250 - you can have it early. Think I can fit in the pouch for the return trip? My scuba gear too?

hweber
01-10-2009, 07:09 AM
congrats! Hey, is there a prize for 1,000 posts?

Addict
01-10-2009, 07:57 AM
No - no prizes for 1,000 - sorry. :(

Boxcar
01-10-2009, 08:42 AM
What about a million? If I make it to a million, can I get a reward?

wig
01-10-2009, 09:53 AM
Come on Addict. Surly a million educational posts deserves a prize. :rofl:

hweber
01-11-2009, 04:55 AM
Yeah, 1,000 should get something too! We love this site!

Addict
01-11-2009, 07:01 AM
Haha - yeah - 1 million and I will send you out something special Boxcar!

Though this promotion has brought in new members, it has also brought in a good amount of spam - that is people who just post in an effort to raise post count, so they just answer 20 posts at a time with "Yeah cool" or "I agree", and really offer nothing to these boards. Most of these people are out of the country, so they don't qualify anyhow - but tell them (quietly) to re-read the rules, and they leave.

I think that if I continue giveaways, they will be more of a random giveaway to REAL contributors to this board - that is, ones that are not revealed to the community.

By the way - all of you looking for free stuff - we are giving away a couple of copies of Planet Earth on DVD to Teachers. Soon we will have this up on our site - so keep your eyes open :)

Boxcar
01-11-2009, 09:50 AM
Awesome!

You do a good job with the useless post though. I never even see any of them... :)

The software I have set up catches most of it {spam}, and users report questionable posts that make it through the spam filter, so I can get to it quick :)

Hello Everyone,
Let me introduce myself; my name is Laurie and I want one of the 2 coffee mugs that are left. I am a Professional Childcare Provider, I've been providing care in my home since 1995. I've helped raise many of kids. My husband and I recenclty became empty nesters, not sure if I would like it however I'm lovin' it. We have 2 adult daughters we are the best of friends and also life together. We have a mix black lab named Lexi and 2 kitty-cats Penenlope and Bruce. We live on the Olympic Peninsula in WA. State. A few things about myself, I'm an aunt & a great aunt to many nieces and nephews. I'm also a 2nd mom to a few others whom I love like they are my own children. I love to go camping in our RV, campfires, sandy beaches, roasting marshmellows, hiking, reading James Patterson books, Facebook and mySpace is where I spend some of my spare time keeping up with my daughters, sisters, nieces, nephews and a few close friends.
I'm looking forward to being a member on this site, to meet others whom have chosen the same carreer as myself, getting new ideas, lessons, and themes to teach my little ones, and sharing a few things with you.
So there you go a introduction about me "classylady"
