**Dharma, please note that for some reason...my last few lines at the bottom seem, to me on my side, to be caps. I dont know why that is...didnt do a caps lock or font change on my side. ** That's the crux of the matter right there. it's NOT about a single comment you made, it's about NUMEROUS comments you made, and are stil
Great looking Dog there Dharma, Reminds me of my mini-beagle at my moms house. When I was about 14, we got him and I was thinking at that time that my top three dog choices were: 1. Beagle 2. Bassett 3. Dachshund
TW, Then, I apologize. I read it differently. Whip, As far as I can remember, I have never made any comment about disabled people, prior to my book on foot comment. After I made that remark, you got all riled up. Youd take what Id say, accuse me of being against those who are disabled. Id clarify, and youd go off even more. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-T
There is NO WAY that you can possibly know enough about the nature of children, how to motivate them, what their fears are, what their emotional needs are, how to engage them, how to comfort them, how to provide for them logistically, how to nurture them, how to instruct them, or how to discipline them without having one of your
LW, why dont you post the link as well to my original article so yes, that people can judge for themselves. I am writing a blog entry as well, but that most likely will get me nowhere. I was going to write a reply to Dharma about the disability issue, but I decided not to. That and I knew you were going to use that quote you just used as it is one that you use quite often against me.
I would quote you but it seems that you've hidden or deleted the articles. I recall you writing about a kid that was in your class, and the way you treated him seemed to me (and to others too) nothing better than bullying. If you'd have been MY child's teacher and I'd caught wind of the way you were treating the kids...well, I'
Why don't you call it what it is....You assumed something. And "you" know what happens when you "assume" something. Doc, I think everyone on JU seems to know about Lil whips utter hatred (despise, angst.. whatever you call it) against us. She manages to think to know what its like inside an e
She had not even responded here before I made a comment, You did make a comment...it was: Im sure "certain" teachers who blog on JU would insist that little kids need to learn h
All they care about is receiving the funding for their attendance. They really don't care if they are there and learning. So I called the superintendant and threw a fit and suddenly it was okay for it to be in the classroom but she decided to punish my son my making him eat alone in the classroom (to protect him from his severe a
I guess this is going to be a short blog...more less a rant. Last November, I purchased a brand new motorcycle from a Honda Dealership in Las Vegas. I ended up paying wayyy too much for the bike as I realized after the fact. Rather infuriated when I found out how much dealers in other states were selling them for...I went back and talked to the dealer and s
FYI...this is long. Well, we finally made it. Marcie and I moved up to Austin, MN as she got hired as a first grade teacher. Myself, I dont have a job yet, but according to her and the some people at the personell office, I can substitute every day if I want...so I will be doing that. I was hoping to have some time to look for any late minute openings up
Define sell out? I used to work at a Christian Rock radio station. DC talk was a big band back in the day....until they signed on to Virgin Records. Now, they hardly have any new music. People say the band signed so they could spread their music further. Other people, myself included...feel they signed with Virgin to make a whole lotta mula. Before, their music came from the heart. Now, their music just fulfills a deadline put in place by a cont
TW, Thanks for the support and kind words. Tonights update... Marcie called tonight...she usually does before she goes to bed. Nothing new other than what I said earlier. The place she is staying at now will let her rent it by the week for 120 bucks. Dang...Im almost tempted to move in there. I think she likes it, hasnt said anything bad about it yet. She is going to drive around town tomorrow and look for some places...may
We were thinking of buying a house...but all the paperwork and mumbo jumbo of doing that, at this time, didnt seem feasable. Marcie looked at some places today and it sounds like she didnt like what she saw....managed to look at two places. One had a really teeny bathroom and we would need to get a washer and drier and haul them out of the basement when we move. The second was just funky...older and not as nice as we'd like. Now
Well tonight Marcie made it into Austin. She dropped off the bike in Cedar Rapids earlier in the day so that took the load off of the car..somewhat. She will drop the trailer off tomorrow...but has to stop by the school first as she has one of her boxes in the trailer....no room in the car! Friday or Saturday, she will head down to Mason City to prepay for the Penske rental truck... I originally reserved through Uhaul....and that is the tra
Many people know that my girlfriend Marcie (JU: MarcieHelen) is headed up to MN as we are moving up there. She left early Tuesday with my car hauling my bike behind it in a Uhaul trailer. Well...I figured I could make this a daily blog of how she is doing to keep everyone up to date because there seems to be some interest in how she is doing. Instead of m
I'm certainly not trying to imply that she's incapable or not competent enough to do it. It's just a monumental task and extraordinarily stressful. That's why I suggested a treat, hehe. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=cent
After all your mewling and moaning about how selfish americans are, i don't suppose it's ever occurred to you that you dont NEED all that "stuff."Give about half of it away to a local church, Goodwill store, or the Salvation Army. Since you've already got a goodly amount of stuff in storage, you have far too many belongings, cons
what the heck was she hauling and why would you attempt to haul over 2,000lbs with a car? Because the car can pull it. The hitch itself is rated for 3500 lbs. The car could pull that much...but safely...nope. As far as my car...she drove it 1800 miles with a newly rebuilt tranny (following me a mile
Marcie (JU...Marciehelen) left this morning around 7 am or so. She woke up, I think at 5:30. But knowing her, she could have been up before and I just didnt know it. I was dead to the world...despite my alarm. I went back to bed and she finally got me up when she was getting ready to finish loading up the car. She called me a little while ago as she
I guess it depends on what one's definition of "good" is. A child molester might not know any different and consider molestation "good". S/he feels good. S/he has a good time. S/he doesn't suffer any negative consequences from the encounter. How could it be bad? Humans are social creatures. Most of us don't do well without some sort of meaningful contact with others. Maybe our "desire" to be "good" comes from our innate need for other p
Little whip...might as well forget reading that last blog reply too. I write alot. I use lots of examples to help get my point across. I do that as a teacher. I take a concept...and if it doesnt go through and connect right away with the kids...I back up...use some examples...and go at it again, maknig myself or the concept more clear the second time around.
Id like to point out that the long reply above that was from Marcie was actually from myself. I didnt recognize she was signed in on my computer until I checked my blog this morning. Once again, Ziggy opens mouth, inserts foot, and then feels compelled to write ridiculously long screeds to explain to all us dummies wh
I think you're right on. I mean...I might make a perfect bowl of sugar-free Jello pudding, but not everyone likes it lumpy like I do, so it wouldn't be "pefect" for them. To say perfection exists on Earth is naive I think. People make mistakes. Cars break down. Planes crash. Houses burn. Ships sink. Bad hair days happen. So does bankruptcy. If it was a perfect world (who would be the person to define what "perfect" means in th
Trudy, What on earth gives YOU the right to decide that someone's life is junk??? geez....has it occured to you that some people areretired and are writing the stories of their life? One mans treasure is another mans junk and vice versa. It has occured to me that some people might be retired...but from
