Thanks - I was just laying (lying?) in bed this morning thinking about how angry the whole thing makes me and then I was angry that something so beyond my control was taking up even more of my time/energy/emotion well-being. That's when all the board conversations about radical acceptance popped into my mind.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
Miss Fay, you're one of the least tedious whiners I've ever known. As is de rigeur it seems, for b.org teachers, you come across as conscientious, inventive, and sensitive.
What ita said, or was that Vortex?
Sorry about the car situation Stephanie. My worst car repair was for a convertible I had. It took them 13 weeks to get the part for the turbo and they left the car outside totally closed in the sun which ruined the plastic back window. I've erased most of the incident from my memory because of the resultant anger. May you be pleasantly surprised and actually get the car back tomorrow.

Stephanie, you are wise to use vw's wisdom. But I hope your car gets fixed.
Fay, I know that you'll do the best you possibly can for the girl. That parent? He's not in the classroom with his daughter and it sounds like he's doing this to stroke his own ego. Your director there sounds like one in a million, so hurrah! for her and her support of you.

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

Heh.
I suck at remembering names and faces. If someone tells me their name I will completely forget it in ten seconds unless I make some conscious effort to remember it by some mnemonic or what-not.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
hugs everyone.

I'm fairly good with names and faces of people, but my DH has noticed that I never seem forget the names of people's pets even when I draw a total blank on the name of the owner.

I never seem forget the names of people's pets even when I draw a total blank on the name of the owner.Is that just because pet names tend to be wacky? Like, would you remember a cat's name if if was John or somesuch?
