Salt Peanuts Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Tried to install the baby gate that arrived today. The gate came with few extensions with which one could use multiple combination to accommodate different opening width. One such combination accommodates up to 44" opening. The next combination up starts at 44.5" opening. Predictably, the opening I wanted to use the gate is wider than 44" and narrower than 44.5".
Salt Peanuts Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Yep, which is what I'll be grabbing later this week - hope it works well enough with the gate. Edited July 20, 2011 by Salt Peanuts
morphsci Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Posted July 20, 2011 We actually used some oak boards to mount a gate at the top our stairs a few years ago for the very same reason.
Salt Peanuts Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) I work in Special Education (severe). awesome, work pays for the nosejob! It's not broken THAT badly. It just looks slightly bent. Edited July 21, 2011 by Salt Peanuts
jvlgato Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 I work in Special Education (severe). It's not broken THAT badly. It just looks slightly bent. Jeebus. You don't get paid enough. No matter what you're paid.
n_maher Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Had my nose broken at my work. Ouch, not cool.
jvlgato Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 dang Watch the language, please. There are rules about these things,you know.
Voltron Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Sorry Salty, but you are doing good work and outbursts seem to be inevitable in your field. My niece and her fiance both do similar work and have various scars and stories. Heal well and straight.
Augsburger Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Sorry to hear about the accident, I hope your new nose does a better job of dodging obstacles. And hoping there was no pain involved. Edited July 21, 2011 by Augsburger
Torpedo Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Sorry Salty. If it's bent, it'll need repair Best wishes.
manaox2 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Really sorry Salty. That is an extremely tough job. Its complicated to restrain a child in the school system, its you who its ok to hurt somehow. Feel for you, hope it heals quickly.
shellylh Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) That sucks Salty. I had an awesome day today. I arrived, jet lagged, to my office this morning and had a card in my mailbox. It was a thank you card from one of the 15 year olds in the summer program for high school girls I run each summer. She had written a thank you card saying how much she and the other girls enjoyed the program. She also told me that she had used the stipend she got at the end of the program (each girl gets $500 at the end) to start up her own 3 day cheerleading camp for some kids at the local homeless shelter. She used the money for t-shirts, bows, snacks and gift packs consisting of crayons, pens, candies, and stickers. She also sent a picture of the kids at her cheerleading camp - they looked so happy. It is hard to express how moved I was by this. It really made my day and every time I look at the picture, I get a little choked up. Edited July 22, 2011 by shellylh
Absorbine_Sr Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Awesome job Shelly. When I begin to think the whole world is full of fucking assholes, things like this give me hope for the future. Good on you for helping to inspire her.
