Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, there's definitely a point where I get frustrated teaching and resort to repetition. But that's a different scenario from where the student is tuned in and working, but doesn't understand. Our classes are so social that it's sometimes hard to separate out good working together from bad working together, and that's when the verbal equivalent of a hand waving in front of the face comes in.
But I wish it were easier to work out a student's preferred learning style earlier. In more structured environments, like in a school, we would just ask. We knew we'd have the same students consistently. But at the youth center, it's much harder because you often get brand new kids whose trust you have to gain before they'll tell you their name, let alone how they study.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I can NOT imgaine having your child murdered and the the person you are convinced committed the murder being found "not guilty". I can NOT imagine the toll that has to take on your emotions and family life and how painful and horrible it feels.
But, at the same time, I don't understand what the Goldman's hope they will acheive when/if they ever get any of their money out of OJ. I mean, c'mon. He had great enough lawyers (granted - the prosecutors effed the pooch on that trial BIG TIME) to not be convicted. Do you really think he doesn't have great lawyers now to hide whatever money you think he might have?
And those residual checks from "Naked Gun", etc? Yeah - they probably total up to about a buck fiddy. Seriously.
Your son is gone. And that's a tragedy I can not even begin to comprehend. But getting any of that money is not going to bring him back.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
YAY HOMEOWNER JESS!!

Because books.
Congratulations Jessica and Ethan!
Aimee, I think that could be one of those things where the only way to hurt him is financially, or tying him up in court. They may not want the money as much they want to hurt OJ however they can.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY JESS and DH!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hooray for Jess!
All the other stuff you people are talking about seems complicated and I can't fit it into my brain right now. Sorry.
