It's totally lame-ass, Al...that's what it is. Oh...and since the queen bee happens to be quarantined at the moment, she can't comment...but I wrote an article about this topic once myself...what I envisioned blogging to be, and I got ripped a new butthole for it...just so you know.

Really...I guess I don't understand the animosity...I don't read EVERYONE's stuff...but I don't understand why she just...chomped on you like she did. And frankly, I think you should just ignore her all together. Let her talk trash. Everyone that knows you knows the truth about you. She'll find a new victim eventually. I don't see the purpose in beating a dead horse, and she keeps on beating you and Mike down...I just don't get it. But I'm a teac

Two words can explain all the madness: mental illness. Someone who does that to someone else has something emotionally wrong with him/herself, and said person has written articles about said illness. It makes sense. ANYWAY...things have been going fairly well. I asked my principal and assistant principal for letters of recommendation yesterday because I'm filling out applications for teaching positions in Minnesota. Hopefully something wi

Reply to So, I have No Friends.... in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Al~ It's so hard moving to a new place. I moved to Vegas from Minnesota in August, and while I go out for happy hour or to dinner with some of the teachers from work, we don't really have any "friends" either. Ryan's the only person I spend a substantial amount of time with. We did get involved with our church. One of our first Sundays there I just kinda jumped the gun and joined a Bible study at someone's home. And you know what? It's t

At least they weren't in the "clubhouse" making out with each other and showing their private parts to one another (like my first graders here in Vegas have been doing as of late). Isn't it cool when they act out what you're doing in class? Over conferences I had parents who told me that their daughter comes home and plays school with them...and SHE gets to be Miss Matson... lol.<img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmidd

Reply to Let her go.... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I was going to write an article on the same subject. I wonder if she's an only child? I wonder why her parents are so reluctant to let her go. It's been years. And once you marry, unless you specifically state legally, your spouse is your next-of-kin, right? I don't see where the issue is here. The whole point of marriage is leaving your parents house to make a new house, and now this poor woman's husband just doesn't want her to be humiliated an

Karen~ I tend to do the same thing. I think I used to be an internet junkie as a matter of fact. I still like to tinker, but I'd much rather hang out with real people. I'd say that if you have something to write, just come here and write it, because its your blog. Maybe disable comments on the blogs you think might be a little more "controversial" or you think you'd have a hard time dealing with if someone wrote something less than kind.

K~ I'm glad you let the administrator know. Sometimes parents expect us employees to be all knowing, but we're not. We keep a close watch, but if kids want to be mean or do something stupid, they'll find a place to do it where adult eyes can't see. My kids are at an age where they have to do something VERY extreme to get kicked out of school...but after the events that have been happening recently in my classroom, I think a day or two off b

I have two family members who are convicted criminals, and...I don't know...I guess I just don't understand or it's been long enough that my anger at them has passed. My cousin is a murderer.

Still...it's like...you two are committed, but it's not as easy for some husbands and wives to do that after a deployment EVERY year. I know there's things to do abroad, and I'm thankful that D is willing to do that, and I'm thankful that you're willing to put up with it no matter what. But there comes a point where a family, a marriage is just as important as that foreign policy...I think anyway.
