belljr Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 So my grandfather had a bugle from I think his great grandfather or great great.... I need to double check. Anyway the bugle is from the civil war BELL, HENRY F.: Bugler, Enl. on 9/15/62 in Henrico Co. Listed on various clothing receipts. Pres. on all muster rolls. Little detail is known of the organization and training of the Mathews Light Artillery. Its organization, however, was unusually stable. Its officers served together, without promotions or transfers, for the entire war. The leaders of the Mathews Light Artillery were: Andrew D. Armistead, Captain John F. Stoakes, 1st Lieutenant Albert F. Diggs, 2nd Lieutenant Nathan H. Walker, 2nd Lieutenant Key support personnel were: Columbus Anderton, 4th/5th Corporal Lewis H. Ashberry, Artificer Thomas J. Diggs, Corporal (until March 5, 1864) J. R. Diggs, Bugler Henry F. Bell, Bugler Pretty cool even if he was a rebel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Floppo Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 speaking of free money... I was let go on April 1, paid w/ benefits through April 15... 2 weeks severance essentially. I've been checking my bank accounts daily to see if the stimulus money has shown up. today, I see a bump in the account, so I figure- cool, stimulus check. look at the details... it's a paycheck from the office. while I'm not going to argue... I have to figure this is a mistake on their part, given that my termination letter was fairly clear about dates. what's the play here? at this point, I'm in a purely don't ask don't tell state of mind... much as I was two weeks ago when I got home and realized I didn't pay for the $8 sweatpants in my much larger purchase at Walmart.

Any chance they got PPP money and are trying to keep their payroll intact? That would be great because there may be more coming to you...

GroveDiesel Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 My daughter is in a pull out class for math and ELA due to her learning difficulties and her teacher for that has been tremendous in her online teaching. The lessons have been setup well, they have been done at an appropriate level, she frequently checks progress and has feedback on every single assignment submitted, regularly posts reminders, etc. She even has been setting up a weekly Google Meet that the kids in that class can join just to catch up with each other each week and check in with their teacher. It’s been one of the highlights of my daughter’s week the last few weeks just getting to see her friends and teacher. My daughter does her science and social studies classes with her homeroom class and had an aide with her to help her work through the information since she processes stuff slowly. It’s worked out really well and she generally has enjoyed those classes. Obviously she doesn’t have an aide here so I have been helping her out as I can. This morning I sat down with her to do her science work and...I’m not sure the homeroom teacher is quite as much in the ball. The lesson was basically the homeroom teacher reading through the online curriculum and she pretty obviously hadn’t gone through it ahead of time before recording the video. She made multiple incorrect references, answered some questions wrong during the lesson (she fixed them at least) and in general didn’t seem to know the material. I know all of this is new and difficult and everyone has a lot of other crap and stress to deal with besides just their jobs, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed. 5th grade science should be basic enough to look over and run through without giving bad information or confusing the students. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
