Yes!!!!!! It was good seeing Philly get trounced!!!! Especially after the way the Giants walked all over the Redskins. Would've been even better if the Cowboys had lost, as well, but they were playing Arizona. What did you expect? Can you tell that I'm a Giants fan?

You know what's funny? Khaine's response to the "Won't enforce the death penalty" complains that Kilgore is picking on him for his religious beliefs. "No we don't kill people 'cause they did something to deserve it" but he's one of the first one's to jump on the abortion bandwagon. IMO, they're the same thing, just different points in the victim's life. H

Hey! Congrats. And congrats to Davie, too. It's always nice when others recognize that our kids really are as special as we all claim they are. Keep up the good work with both Daves.

lol, hey... go back and read the bet blog. MM made good odds, sure, but who not only predicted that she wouldn't get confirmed, but that she'd withdraw as well? Hmmm... Seems that I was leaning that way (not confirmed, never leave the committee, withdraw herself). <img src="../images/smiles/bigsmile.gi

Cool. I started reading his stuff ... oh, summer before last? Summer '04. It was interesting when he started writing about the oversight from BN and his delimna about continuing. I'll have to look for the book.

I'll second this one. One of the key things that I advice prospective homeschool families - it's not for everyone. You have to be willing to work at it, as well as be willing to see it through to the end conclusion. Kudos, Gideon!

I just got back from spending the weekend in Alabama. Got word Thursday afternoon that my grandmother (my mom's mom) passed away. Now, it's sad, and kind of unexpected, but it's not really unexpected. See, she's been going down hill drastically for the last year (and more) so we were all expecting it, at some point. The exact timing threw us off, a little. We had family from Virginia, Indiana, Texas, and right there in Alabama converge on my Uncle's house on th

Sheesh. It's not been 1 area code for at least 15 years, 10 months now ('cause we were in the 804 area code when I moved here 4 Jan 1990). And now ... it's what? 4 area codes?

It is our job to make sure that the students atmosphere at school is one that is benificial for their learning. And playing armchair psychologist or playing "Doctor" doesn't cut it. I will agree that a teacher (as an aid in maintaining classroom discipline) needs to keep an eye out for behavioral or he

Ziggy, I really love the creative quote job you do. You really ought to work for a newspaper or TV News room. Your quotes manage to completely miss the point. Now, you - as you have admitted - have no legal right or responsibility to diagnose students. The nurse at the school is the one that is responsible for the HEALTH of the students. If the teacher s

Well, when you rant and rave about how JU isn't your primary blog and just don't care. And tear into the Admin's ... and all of the language. Gah. For someone that supposedly cares about everything (and everyone) she sure wasn't a good example. And people wonder why some are called flaming liberals? She's a classic example.

57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category. That's what I get for having a confused family tree. Dad's from Connecticut, Mom's from Alabama (her dad's from upstate NY, though). Really confused.

Hmmm ... I'm noticing a BAD trend here. And it's all (unfortunately) on Ziggy's part. Bakerstreet's right on this one. All of these "Oh, wait, there's a health issue. Better tell the parents." things that he (Ziggy) keeps coming up with. Pink eye. Hand, foot and mouth disease. Asperger's Syndrome. All of these should have been REFERRED TO THE NURSE ON STAFF AT THE SCHOOL. See, it's her (could be a he, but in my experience it'

Thanks, Doc. My wife has gotten to the point where she just says "Don't want to hear it", though she pretends to listen, anyways. So, look for more of the same here, as I use this as a place to rant/vent.
