Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

health-ma to Suzi's mom. And calm-ma for Suzi.

Happy Birthday, beth!

I'm in love with my prescription Ultram. It's the perfect pain-pill. Not too powerful but just enough to take care of my back issues and let me sleep and feel human when I wake up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

People on the morning radio show are trying to explain the right way to tie a necktie. They don't seem to understand that this is not something that can be explained without pictures.

Gronk. Need to teach this morning. Feeling way less like crap than the last few days, but still not quite up to dealing with over-stressed students cramminf for an exam.

Timelies, Bitches! Interesting discussion. I have nothing to add, because I don't know much about unschooling, but interesting to read.

Much ~ma to Suzi and Suzi's mom.

Oh, poor packing Bitches. Moving is so stressful.

Ok. Me must get back to work.

Ugh. Gio (dog next door) is whining again. At least he seems to stop after a couple hours.

*flail*!!! I just found out I'm probably leaving post NEXT WEEK. Aieee....

And in D.C. we say: Woot!

Happy Birthday, beth!

My DH has a friend whose wife homeschools their four kids. The kids are weird - polite, but automatons - which I don't blame so much on the homeschooling as the wife. She's a horrible control freak and I think this is the reason she chose to homeschool, not the kids (their personalties or the way they learn best) or the schools they'd have to attend.

What is even happening?

Happy Birthday, beth!!!

Suzi, I hope the anti-biotics take care of your mom, quickly and easily.

I had never heard of unschooling or Indigo children, until this morning, in this very thread. Buffistas know everything.

Our wings are not tired.

{{Suzi & mom}} I hope you both have a better day.

There was one homeschooled kid in the class I taught last summer. Probably the most socially "adjusted" kid there -- popular with other kids, polite with but not scared of adults, and probably the only kid I never saw throw a "that's not FAIR" tantrum when he lost a game. (Kids were ages 11-13.) I heard stories of homeschooled kids with pretty horrible social skills from some of the other instructors, though, so I guess there's as much variation there as with any other kids.
