Spike ,'Sleeper'
[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.
And I hope to hell she doesn't penalize Abby for not being there that fifteen minutes early. It's bound to get ugly then.
Oh hell no. Yeah, that's when I'd get ugly. The bus takes my kid to school. You want my kid there earlier, you can come get her. Otherwise, fuck off. Does she think all families have a parent who is able and eager to adapt their schedule to whatever the teacher wants?? Lordy.
Then the teacher tried to tell Abby she thought it would be quite the hardship for Abby to tote her laptop to and from school each day.
Insane! Then again, I would not let my HS son take his laptop to school. I'm not going to be repairing the thing every other week. (also, he would never get off WoW if he had it with him)
In not news, Owen going off to school on the bus is insanely cute.
I became a great aunt again this morning at 5:40am. Savannah was a healthy 8lb. 5oz. No pictures yet. My brother needs to get with the uploading.
That is insane. Both the computers and the time.

Yay, Laura! Healthy girl and beautiful name. Poke your brother, wouldja?
Oh, and pic from Disney this week
Wish I could've gotten the entire billboard in the shot, but it was taken in a hurry with the iPhone, since I was about to get rained on... again.
Bwah, the expressions in that shot are priceless.
Can I be excited for you and totally jealous of you at the same time?
Sure. Why not. It's a fun show and it's sounding good, so I'm happy with it. It's also a theatre I enjoy working for.
Done! I'm excited for you about the show. At the same time I'm totally jealous of the time you are having. Enjoy the job and the theatre.
Barb, Abby's teacher is nuts. I'm so sorry you are having to put up with this.
There's a lot these parents expect in the name of getting the "best" education for their students. There were parents who were offended that the kids didn't use the computers that much last year in fourth grade. @@
Eh, well, I guess I'm hella different. I consider "best" as being able to do something totally unnassisted. The research stuff I can honestly see, being able to "search the stacks" electronically is a huge help. Especially in this day and age where one of the places seeing some of the most budget cuts are libraries. But then, they should have computers in the libraries to provide the research. I am cheap, hear me roar.
Plus, I just feel bad for the folks who live in the lower class districts without the tax support to offer these kinds of services. It makes the have/have not divide that much deeper. If they can't have computers because they don't have the money for it, then no schools should have computers. Fine, what a family has at home is what they have, but all students should have the same opportunities no matter where they live.
Also, I'm sad to see that it runs through the 28th, which means you'll miss the Grapevine's anniversary party and Jon's mad BBQ skills.I don't run the shows, I manage the department and get the equipment up and running. I can go to a bar-b-q!
it would appear that the "searching the stacks" method of research is quickly going the way of the dodo bird.
This is breaking my heart. I still love to find information this way.

Congratulations!!! (one of my nieces is also names Savannah).
My sister-in-law is due in less than 2 weeks. We will finally know the gender and name of the "wee bairn"!
Meara, thanks again for the 'words of wisdom' for my baby dyke diver. She stopped by today to thank me again for being here for her. She said everything I've said (including advice from many of you) has really helped. She's still not ready to tell her family; however, my love andacceptance of her has gone a long way in helping her love and accept herself. Oh! and she adores the nickname "baby dyke diver".
