A highly disproportionate number of those youngsters, like Desre’e, are black.
I am not surprised. Really. I'm trying to imagine my kids doing anything at that age that would have resulted in the school calling the cops and aside from pulling out a weapon (a real weapon), I can't come up with anything.
In Baltimore last month, the police arrested, handcuffed and hauled away a 7-year-old black boy for allegedly riding a dirt bike on the sidewalk. The youngster was released and the mayor, Sheila Dixon, apologized for the incident, saying the arrest was inappropriate.
Oh, what a criminal element -- riding a dirt bike on the sidewalk. Excuse me, I can't type well when my eyeballs have rolled all the way across the room.
Maybe she can tell us what percentage of Krav training is devoted to defense against 6-year-olds....
Well, aside from the warning that a bratty 6 year old with a knife will probably cut you before you get it away...it doesn't come up. And even that's to make the point of how much more an actual adult with adult motivations is likely to be dangerous to you.
The quote is stupid and I hope he's looking back at it and wishing...well, he's an idiot. What's he going to wish that'd make me happy?
Shoulder feels better this morning, like it has most mornings (jobless I'd have been strung out on muscle relaxants all day, but mornings are best) this week. Massage at noon. Massage at noon.
I think the nerve block is still at least partially in effect, because last time the shoulder hurt this badly it was a 6mg Dilaudin visit, plus Valium for the shoulder.
So...would a semi-permanent burgundy dye likely show nothing at all in my hair?
riding a dirt bike on the sidewalk
On a people are stupid note:
In Pasadena last week or the week before (can't remember) we were driving towards the hospital on a major road and a grown woman was on a vespa. On the sidewalk. She almost lost control of the Vespa, forcing it and her out into the intersection, when she stopped to hit the crosswalk light.
Um, honey, vespa's require a motorcycle license. WTF? WHY ARE YOU NOT ON THE STREET WITH THE REST OF THE MOTORIZED VEHICLES! Sidewalks = for pedestrians not scooters.
It's one of those stories where I wonder if there is something missing. It just sounds too insane to be true. How could a school not be prepared to handle a kindergarten tantrum?
So...would a semi-permanent burgundy dye likely show nothing at all in my hair?
Do you mean over the bleached parts? Cause that will definitely pick up the burgundy. Or over your natural color? Cause that will pick up far far less.
I want to cut off the bleached parts--I've seen how they pick up burgundy before. It's looks pretty silly. And watery pink.
If the natural brown picks it up far far less...well, I guess I have less of a problem with that than a semi-permanent that wears out and leaves even more faded pink in its wake.
I like blonde. Doesn't fade. But I want to play around. Feeling a distinct lack of commitment to much else, though.
Anyone heard of the Cotard Delusion? That's when someone believes they have died. They might also believe their body is decaying.

I'll see your surgical tape and raise you surgical staples. Hubby's doctor blithely told me, "I'll give you a tool, and you can take them out for him at home." I think the fuck NOT, doc! I couldn't bear to look at them, no way was I going to wield a staple remover and take them to my Hubby's flesh.
I have skipped madly ahead and will go back and catch up, but I had to tell this: My ex once refused to go back to the doctor to have nine stitches removed from his scalp. He was going to take them out himself. His
scalp.
The top of his head. So I made him sit down, and I took them out. With fingernail clippers.
Back to work.
