Isn't just a local anesthetic? And like a fifteen minute procedure? You probably won't even have the luxury of a good couple of pain pills, buddy. I think you're being brave though. My boyfriend and I have discussed this--and I've come to the conclusion that after our child-bearing days are through I'm still going to have to be the one in charge of the birth control. Which s

Despite their oath to confidentiality, even counselors, psychologists, and chaplains have a responsibility to report if they feel the counselee is a threat to him/herself or others. An imminent threat. If the counselee is threatening suicide, the counselor can legally call in authorities or call the hospital. If the counselee is

So, now back on topic....if the military had patriotism alone as it's selling point, I honestly don't think many people would enlist. It's the college tuition, the travel, the pay, the security, the benefits....those are some of the things that, when coupled with the honor and patriotism aspects, make the military a very attracti

"If" is a big word, and you can't live your life in fear of it. "If" this happens....or that. What if it doesn't? Then what? These two kids have been smeared, pretty much for life, because of an "If" that wasn't tempered with common sense. I agree that we can't live our lives in fear. I just think

I wonder how quickly we'd be expelled today for celebrating in song such violence and hate? How long we'd be court-ordered to spend in therapy? lol...I understand where you're coming from. Don't get me wrong. I think its a shame that we have to be so up in arms over such silly things... But it's a fa

Probably nothing. If they were serious, would they have written their "plans" in a school essay, which they knew beyond doubt would be read by an authority figure? "IF" is the word of the day. "IF". How do you know? "Probably" doesn't cut it when you're a teacher and someone says something like that.

I think you're right, Karen. I think that being in the military has some perks, as well as some disadvantages, much like any career. It's not something *I* would choose (other than the fact that I'm a whale), regardless of the perks. But a "free" education, medical and housing benefits, the chance to travel (if you call going to a war zone travel)...those things look really good to people. Had my fatness not been an issue, I might have actually con

We have gotten so friggin lawsuit happy that we are willing to betray trusts, destroy relationships, compromise our students education - because once every 10 year some kid in some state goes bonkers. So we protect 5 people, and destroy millions of kids due to the lies, deceits and hypocrisy of Zero Tolerance. <

Teachers are also mandated reporters. Wouldn't the teacher in question be liable if these two boys actually DID carry out these acts? Basically the teacher would be screwed if she did, screwed if she didn't and something happened. It's a double standard. What the heck do you want me to do? You want me to call CPS if a child has a bruise, but not even call a parent if they write in their journal that they want to slit someone's throat? Th

I don't get it. I don't understand why, if he bothers everyone so much, that everyone keeps responding, making him more and more agitated and just basically fueling the fire? It's your blog, Lucas. You're entitled to your opinions, and if the staff at Stardock didn't want you to continue blogging here, they'd boot you, simple as that. Taking a break isn't a bad thing. Do that.

It took me 2, almost 3 weeks of wallowing before I dragged myself out of it though, Marcie. It shouldn't have taken me that long....but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. The important thing is that I did kick myself in the ass eventually, and I won't wait this long next time. Some people spend

We study every winter holiday in my class, though ALL of my students both last year and this year are all Christmas-celebrators. I just wish we could call it a "Christmas party" instead of a "winter party" Bah humbug. lol

I think it says a lot about who you are that you don't just sit and wallow in yourself--it's SO easy to do that. You went out because you knew that you were feeling bummed, and you took care of your needs. I think that's awesome, K. Good for you. Because if you lose yourself...no one else can find you...you know?

No...it's okay to say I'm sorry (once is enough, however). It's okay to express your opinion, but don't go in with the expectation that everyone's going to agree with you--ESPECIALLY over a topic like the war.

It's a band with small channel set diamonds in it. The diamonds cover the entire top; the bottom half is a plain white gold band. I waited 11 years for that ring..... Ooooooh...those are pretty.
