Burrell, I'm not sure; I'm teaching in private schools out here. The school I'm in now has a great sex ed/health program, but I have no idea if that's typical. I can tell you that the public school system I worked at in CT also had a decent sex ed program, but that's about where my expertise fades into vague mumblemumbleness.

Aimee's becoming the expert!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How was your interview, Aimee?

It was GREAT!!!! I really liked the Controller/CFO and he said he really liked me. The company is small and I like that. I'll probably be meeting with the CEO in the next week to ten days.

Aimee's becoming the expert!

But can she actually write the paper?

Christ, Aimee could write the paper even if she knew nothing of the subject. (Though NSM with the high grade.) Doing actual research first, it will totally rock!

Thanks, Typo. I'm finding such great articles, it's going to be hard to narrow it down to 1400-1500 words.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sweetpea, you probably just need to sleep. You WILL get it done, because you will. Have a smoke, maybe a snack, and get some rest, love. You need it and the book needs it, too.

Oh and Aimee. I tend to be an over-writer too. If you have a word limit, write the first draft without worrying about it. Then cut like hell; if you have trouble cutting like hell, draft Joe - always easier to cut someone else's words. Or if you think this particular help would be hard on your marriage draft someone else.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Awww! I should have known there was a Bee watch-n-post. I just watched-and-cringed. Spelling Bees are very stressful to me.

Anyway, yes, her name was Katherine but they called her Karie or somesuch. It was a good Bee. I really enjoyed it. My rate of correct words is fast declining, though. I guess I need to read more complex books. Or the dictionary, whatever.

I didn't mind that they put up the words before they finished spelling, but I did wish they'd at least waited until they started spelling. But mostly I could look away and try myself first. Cause I'm a big geek.

But I'd forgotten how much I love words. I love the way they're put together. I love the etymology. I love what words mean, and how we use them to communicate. I love thinking a word ends in -ious and realizing because of the definition or language origin that it ends in -eous. It's so cool. Language is cool.
