I've also taken this opportunity to give Marcie Helen her walking papers. I don't plan to ban her but after discussing the situation with Karmagirl (the one who runs this place day to day) we decided that we saw no reason to allow her to keep having a blog here while she's running around elsewhere comparing us to Nazi Germany.

While I think it's great that you feel this way about yourself, K, I find it doubtful that I will ever feel this way. And really, I'm okay with that. The more I learn about my medical condition, the more I realize that I have to live with what I've got. I might never have the opportunity to have a baby or take care of it, and that's okay, too (keep telling myself that, keep telling myself that...). I just am what I am, I guess. I d

If you don't go to the doctor today, I will kill you with my bare hands. And in your state, I can do it.

HOnestly, I've met very few doctors who have the attitude you have about your patients. I also understand however, that being a doctor is a profession that has oodles of responsibilities, lots of choices, and is, lots of times, very thankless. When my father was ill we literally spent weeks at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and it's hospitals. While we received world-class medical care, I felt like the doctors were often so hurr

When I was younger, I begged my mom to wear makeup. I honestly don't think it changes my appearance that much. I guess I don't really know how to apply it the proper way, so I don't really bother. I've worn makeup to work approximately twice this year. My students don't care. They think it's pretentious more than anything else. This is the response I got: "Teacher? Are you wearing makeup? Why?" lol. They don

Really though, it's about YOU being creative. Does it matter to you whether the story gets published and sold, or is it something you want to do for you?

Ummm...what Jill said. I was done with this yesterday because a) like Jill said, this isn't the place, and b) it's over and done with and its time to move on with life. I hope you're big enough to do the same, Brad.

Marcie...you call yourself a Christian? I'm thinking there's not enough evidence to convict you of this right here. I think the Doxology was way out of line. Ummmmm....and you think it's Christian to do this?

I'll repeat this for you so maybe you can take the time to see it. See? I said this: I can agree with Jill on something at least...most things I guess, except when it comes to opinions about recent JU events. I apologize for taking this where it doesn't belong, and you can feel free to delete anything I've posted or a

Reply By: JillUser Posted: Saturday, March 04, 2006 My apologies, Gid. If you want to delete any of this due to hijacking of your thread, I will certainly understand. I can agree with Jill on something at least...most things I guess, except when it comes to opinions about recent JU events.

Unfortunately I have an apartment to clean, dishes to take care of, and relaxing to do, because my life isn't filled with trying to line my pockets so I can belittle other people. This isn't my life, and it's a pity that it's yours. You may host this site, but I don't recall you setting a "deadline" for me to respond by. Pardon me, oh gracious king! Frankly, I can't imagine why you'd even want me to respond, since you seem to already have i

A) You (as well as myself) have a miniscule amount of experience with online communities compared to Brad. He has been dealing with this stuff for most of your life (20yrs). Therefore, your opinion carries very little weight. B) You are the queen of "whatever" and "then you don't have to read my stuff" reactions. Brad's

Reply to Should Classrooms Put George Bush on Trial? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Right on, Gid. In an era of education where because of laws beyond our control we're punching out kids with no critical thinking skills, I think something like this is an *awesome* activitiy. If we want our country to go ANYWHERE we need to let kids think for themselves and argue positions and consider other viewpoints. I also applaud this administrator, because I bet s/he made a decision that was probably not that popular.

It is, unfortunate, that she confuses a lack of loyalty towards her husband to being a lack of loyalty for her. If she has been simply removed, without notice, without provocation I think many people would have felt that this community wasn't worth being part of. I know I'd feel that way. A community that seems like it's run i

I'm with BD. I'd much rather poo in my own bathroom (usually). But sometimes when my tummy starts hurting there's only one way to relieve it. Which is the problem with being a teacher...sometimes I'll eat something that doesn't agree with me and I don't have any "time off" after lunch...so then I have to find someone to watch the kiddos for a minute while I run to the loo. Even in my own house sometimes I don't like to. I don't mind being

Reply to Enough. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I agree with you that enough is enough... We all have differing opinions on the topic, and that's fine. But life is going to go on, with or without Simon and Sabrina here at JU. It is what it is, and there's no sense in any more people getting their toes trampled.

This is what the article says: The boy, who is not being identified because he is a juvenile, said he brought the bag to school to ask his science teacher if he could run an experiment using sugar. Like I said...teachers and administrators aren't generally trained how to identify something as a drug and

john's story is why these things have to be dealt with. NO child deserves to be treated like that. I think alot of times these documents are sent out as an "Okay...we warned you once, so...if you're kid does these things, there will be consequences." type of deal. While I discussed appropriate touching in school (NONE!), I asked parents to talk more indepth about that topic because it was a problem in my classroom last year. I'm lucky this

Yeah, it's been fun for the most part. After spending a year or so off in here in FL, I had forgotten just how cold the weather can be. After the snowstorm in WI, I was chaining down another load to TX in -31F temps (actual, not wind chill). BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR That storm gave us a snow day. Yippee!

I see what you're saying...and I agree that *THIS* case is absurdly stupid. But where you draw the line? If a kid brings a toy knife or a play gun to school...what am I supposed to do in the interim? Let him stab a few people first to see if it's really real? Fire a few shots to see if it's a cap gun or a colt? When do you suggest an administrator or a teacher take action in these kinds of cases? I'd rather be proactive than reactive.

Reply to How Can We Stop Liberal Teachers with an agenda? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Some of the best high school classes I remember are the ones where us students were able to choose a side and debate it... I think the teacher's opinions, whatever they may be, should be kept out of the equation. Isn't the goal to encourage extraordinary, unique thought instead of bullshit drivel?
