Hey, Hec -- are you home and phone-call-able right now?
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Thanks for all the congrats, y'all. I'm excited, but I'm also scared and nervous as this is all becoming Real.
We already have a shitload: me, Kristin, ChiKat, Gris, Kat, Emily...am I missing anyone?
Uh...Fay? ND also teaches quite a bit. DXM and Scrappy used to be teachers.
aurelia teaches during the summer, too.

Huh. I'm wondering if I should respond to this ad: [link] . I could certainly use the money, but something about the wording is hitting me the wrong way.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The "females preferred" kinda puts me right off, Hil.

One thing that pings me:
"females preferred"
Why do they care for a tutor in advanced math? Also using the word "female" instead of women. I know standard terminology in apartments for rent. In employment NSM.
t on edit heh. X-post

Yeah. I can kinda understand requests like that when it's something like looking for a math tutor for a 14-year-old girl in certain cases, but it's weird at college level. Also, I'd guess that it violates craigslists rules. Plus, the
Compensation: Fifty an hour, two hundrerd dollar bonus if I pass my test
it putting me off, too.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
It is possible the poster is female - and wants to keep out complications - bu tI don't like the bonus part - it makes the tutor responsible, not the student - which doesn't sound like a responsible student.
ION, I may need an intervention. I've been fixing the paneling for painting - resting my hand a lot. While I've been doing that , I ve been watching DIY. So many ideas.... so many plans....

Hey. New board.
ETA: Befor reading my summary, try youtube: [link]
The commercial is this adorable little boy talking about a movie he saw with his mom. It takes him a while to get there, as he adorable-talks about this man who was fighting this other man and so forth, but the first killer line is: And do you know what he did?!!? He kicked him in the penis. <long stare> it then cuts to a screen "Need a good doctor?" then back to the boy, who calmly and seriously said my new tagline: "He was injured. Injured bad."
It's a commercial for health insurance.
