Congrats, juliana!
Get better fast, all you poor sick people.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm reading an "alternative education" message board. Somebody please tell me that this person is joking. (Unfortunately, I don't think she is.)
Math is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Nobody on earth uses it other than math teachers. By the way, science shouldn't be enforced as much as it is either. Most science is either totally pointless or completely immoral anyway. Also, physical education (aka forced weight loss program) has got to go. Students would benefit so much more from art, drama, and music classes. Careers in these areas make huge money and don't go against anyone's morals, the way science does.

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

Hil, that boggles the mind.
IOeducationN: My alumni association has found me! How do they do that? The week after I got married I had mail from them using my husband's last name as my last name (an error they corrected with no help from me the next mailing). Now they've put me on a DC area mailing list.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about that paragraph!

Does this person have any experience at all with art, drama or music? Because I must just be jaded by my huge piles of money.

Hey. New board.
Well, even as a math teacher/lover/geek, I do have some pretty serious issues with the way math is taught in high school. Why do we focus so much on algebra anyway? There's a lot of equally simple topics out there that could work just as well for encouraging logical/abstract thinking, that most students would find a bit more interesting.
(The answer, of course, is physical science. Because simple algebra is a necessary component of even the simplest physics or chemistry course. Which just makes the question bigger - why physics and chemistry? Again, a lot of students not so much with the needing at the high school level.)
I'm not sure this makes any sense, but sometimes i have a really hard time answering the "Why do I need to learn this, I'm never going to use it!" questions about my own subject. Because the only honest answer is "that's true, you probably won't, but you need to learn to think logically and abstractly and this is the arbitrary method we've decided on to teach that, because 1 or 2 of your classmates may someday study physics" which probably wouldn't fly too well with the protesting fourteen-year-old.
ETA: Which isn't to say that post isn't stupid. Because it's definitely stupid.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Jaded by that, and lulled by the total fluffy-puppy-baby-bunny inoffensiveness of the arts.
