Reply to Are You Obese? Then you can't teach!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I'm an obese teacher. Part of its my own fault I suppose, but part of it is a hormone imbalance and the fact that my body produces more insulin than it needs and that creates problems, too. I think I'd be more concerned if a teacher was moonlighting as a prostitute, selling smack to make a few extra bucks, or screwing a second grader behind the supply cabinet for kicks. My weight issue doesn't allow me to be as physical with my kid

Reply to Evaluating Terri Schiavo's condition in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I would give her a day or two at most. I know she's "valiantly hanging on to life because she wants to live" or whatever... When my dad was dying, it was exactly two weeks to the day that he stopped eating and drinking anything that he died...and a few days after he stopped urinating, which I guess Terri's already done. I guess I don't see what the point is anymore. I don't see anyway that she'd be able to make it after all of this...</font

Reply to Teachers need guns! in Politics JoeUser Forums

Maybe a taser? Is that what it's called? A stun gun? I had a FIRST grader...a FIRST grader bring a knife (be it a toy knife) to school stuck in his sock and show me like he was proud... Do I feel unsafe? Yeah...I do...but not to the point where I would quit my job. I'm scared that irrational parents will come into my classroom because I'm "allowing" their little girl to kiss boys on the playground while I'm at lunch and they're supervised

Reply to What Type are you Attracted to? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Basically at this point in my life if it has a penis and believes in God, we're good. lol. I tend to like geeks...not guys who love their computer and if it had breasts and a vagina they would have no use for the female gender type geeks, but smart geeks who love to learn. I like guys who are a little taller than me and have some meat to them, too. I don't think I've ever been

K~ When they thought my dad had kidney stones (it was actually a big, freaking malignant tumor slowly killing him...but I'm not bitter or anything), they kept him in the hospital for a week trying to pass it...if it doesn't come out, there's simple, same day surgery they can do to break up the stone and make it come out, I believe. Just drink, drink, drink like a banshee, babe. I hope you feel lots lots better soon. Give yourself a

Very insightful, K,-baby. I think I'm still like that alot. I think that I'm really two-faced and tend to play both sides sometimes, and that's BS. I really need to work at bringing other people up...especially Ryan and my babies... Thanks for the heads up...

Frankly, I don't think that a grandmother could sue a mother who has full custody of a child. And a child who is completely not all there isn't going to respond to a spanking either. If there's no way to get your child under control, then yeah, call the cops I guess. They can get you in touch with people that have those psychology degrees, etc. I don't think it's okay for a child to be afraid of a parent...but I think a child needs to know

I guess I shouldn't say that you can't touch kids...because I do all the time...if a kid is crying or something I touch them...I had a girl get kicked in the lip yesterday (by complete accident) and she was bleeding a little and so I stood behind her and held her up against me till she calmed down and I could talk to her...but if a child is ANGRY...that's another thing. And my kids know they get one hug a day at the end of the day...I bet some of my k

And...this mother probably would have sued had someone picked her up and removed her. You just can't touch kids like that. You can't.

Reply to a sad sad day in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I think the comment the mother made is interesting..."they set my baby up." I don't know this educator, and I don't know this child. Who knows how often this child goes off on a tirade? Have you considered that? Have you considered that maybe the teacher has asked this mother over and over and over to bring this child to a doctor for medical intervention? I don't write prescriptions as a teacher. There's a whole process involved. Maybe

Reply to Just Five More Days in Misc JoeUser Forums

I don't think that any two people are ever "meant" for each other. It's bull. If it were that way, wouldn't people have to travel the world and transcend different cultures and languages and mores, etc? It usually doesn't happen. We pick people who are about as attractive as we are, as finacially secure as we are, who like to do the same things, have the same religious types of beliefs, and who tend to live near us for the most part, you know?

Reply to a sad sad day in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I suppose if it were my child I'd have to know what really happened. As an educator...I'm sorry, student, but if you can't control yourself, you lose the privilege of participating in our fun activity. I would expect that tantrums would be waning when a child hits kindergarten at this child was...and...it's the end of kindergarten. It's not okay to throw books, boxes, and physically harm people, no matter what age you are. I guess I would h

There's this wonderful invention called "the library" Karen! It's alot cheaper than buying bookshelves and books. I'm a bookaholic, too, but I won't buy a new book unless it's something that I think I'll absolutely love. I found "Living History" by Hillary Rodham Clinton on sale at BN a few weeks ago and I've been s

Reply to God is a She. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Hmmm...God with a penis? I don't know. Why would He *need* a penis in the first place? He probably doesn't need to urinate and He doesn't procreate like a human would... I guess when I *picture* what I think God looks like, I think of a more masculine face, but...I guess I don't really even think about gender. But...when God came to Earth, 'he' came as a man, though...huh? I dunno. lol

Sus~ I didn't know you went to UMD. I have a friend in medical school there, and her husband is in pharmacy school (is that how you say it?) I myself went to UM-Morris my freshman year of college. My dad was dying and I didn't have a good experience, but if I try to imagine myself there in even the best of conditions, I don't think I would have stayed. I've never seen such a big bunch of liberal morons stuck together in one place.

I've been meaning to email you, K. I just want to know that I've been thinking about you and your family alot knowing that this was coming up and hoping that maybe this time it won't be so bad.

Ali~ I love Cold Stone! But it is really spendy. Usually Ryan and I get like a medium and share it. At the store in Fargo they sing every time someone gives them a tip. Dairy Queen is always good, too. All these cravings are what's making me fat, fat, fat! Bad!

Reply to You Can't Spank 'em, so ARREST 'em in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I've had children do things in my class where I've said "you know what? If you were an adult like me and you did that, you would be in jail right now." to them. And I don't really think it makes an impact and its probably not something I should be saying to them, but it's true. If you touch another adult like that in public, that person has a right to call the police and press charges. If you bring a weapon to high school, you better bet you're go

From my friends who took the MCAT (my brain...well...the MCATs are above and beyond me) have said that the physics parts of it kicked their butts...but it could be that we just didn't have a good physics curriculum at our school...so...? Take that for what it's worth, which probably isn't much. Good luck to you!

My day? Well...I woke up at quarter to six this morning so I could drive across town to go to yet another Saturday inservice that I will probably never get paid for. This one was okay though...and some other ladies from my school showed up and it was nice to bond with them I guess. So now...I'm tired, I have to go pick up my car, go to the Verizon store, go to the teacher store, and since I got my tax return, I might just freakin buy something for m
