That seems incredibly unfair, Betsy. I guess you won't be nagged by maybe-Feldenkrais-would-help thoughts too often. I am willing your migraine to stop burgeoning and just go away.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oy, Betsy. What is that anyway? Sounds like it's maybe not for you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hell, AmyLiz, that sounds like less than the homework Emmett's getting now in the third grade.
Tep, I am already jealous of both you and SA. Please to give her a kiss for me, and you may make it any kind of kiss you wish.
vw, that rocks! Go you!
Gah. Not really here. Piles of work, and I'm all drugged out on allergy meds and half-brained on a day when I really need to be at full capacity. If I come back, someone please kick my ass a goodly kick.

If I only had a brain...
It's just getting pretty pathetic, is all. First I have to drop out of tap-dancing. The next class I take is tai chi, and I have to drop that. Next I try Feldenkrais and it hurts too much.
I'm figuring I'm going to be aces at whatever physical discipline involves lying perfectly still and complaining.

Because books.
Hell, AmyLiz, that sounds like less than the homework Emmett's getting now in the third grade.
I know, right? In fifth grade he was doing book reports and projects. Now, they never have any work over the weekend, and in science half the time their homework is to "study." Which I know is actually useful, but with almost no other supplementary homework required? No questions, no projects, nothing?
Gah. I'm practically vibrating right now, I'm so angry with him (for getting trouble on the bus -- again), and at the school, which saw fit to threaten to send him home early this year for a rip in the knee of his jeans but apparently doesn't care that he's being given fourth-grade level homework.

Now tagless for your comfort.
AmyLiz, do the teachers give you contact information? Email addresses? If so, maybe you could contact the teachers in the classes you're most concerned about? Just a short email to ask about homework guidelines, making sure he's bringing all his assignments home, etc.

Completely off topic: what is your favorite brand of coffee that you can buy in a grocery store? I need to find a good grocery store brand.
Whole Foods (at least in NYC) carries Ravensbrew, which is the second-best coffee I've ever tasted. (The best being the coffee that DH's parents' cook in India used to make -- he'd blend his own beans, green, and then have them roasted to his specifications. Best coffee anywhere.)

A very politic way to put it.

Pardon my ignorance vw, but what's your major?
I'm a double major in English and psychology.
Betsy, that sounds awful! I'm so sorry!
