You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

[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.

Yeah.

Emily, you've got excellent teachers giving you great advice. All I can say from a parental perspective is that one of my harder, and most necessary, lessons was that kids (a) desperately need to know somebody is setting the boundaries and; (b) grow by testing those boundaries constantly.

Which is why my whole three-pronged parenting philosphy boils down to the intuitive (1) keep them alive; (2) love them a lot; and [perhaps counter-intuitively] (3) enforce boundaries.

It's the hardest fucking thing but respect flows from it.

Tummy meds helped tummy - good. Tummy meds made me slow and paranoid - less good. Flopped Kittenish on the chenille throw on my feet - quite good. Life is a series of cost/benefit analysis. Also a series of correcting typos.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Also a series of correcting typos.

Tell the drunk girl about it.

It's this thing where you think you know what you want to say and then your fingers are suddenly acting like ice-skating monkeys and then you can't even remember what you were going to type even if you could get the letters to appear on the screen in a reasonably accurate order.

It's like that.

Or like being really, really unpleasantly stoned.

A toast: To teachers!

For real.

Here's to all the unwaveringly patient souls that put up with my scatterbrained tigger-like bouncing ADHD learning style during my 20+ years of schooling...

Slainté, teachers!

Exactly like that, or getting hit in the head with a large gold brick wrapped in a lemon skin.

We have to see that! Monkeys on skates! They're so irrational!

Emily, after re-reading I see clearly that I have erred on the side of Be a Dominating Teacher when you needed more It Takes A Year To Make a Classroom.

Which is true. It's an evolving relationship. With several different classes.

Also? You can come over here and watch videos and let us feed you potent alcoholic drinks anytime. You can bring AcrossTheHall Teacher if you like, too.
