I'm glad things are looking better for your little friend, Trudy, although coughing up shells does not strike me as a good time. If there was an occasional gold doubloon, there's be something to look forward to.
Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[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.
Hee! Love the thought of the gold doubloon!
I think about how people with shrapnel or gravel in their skin have it come out for years. At the moment, my throat is very raw from having been sick last night (reason #1 I'd never cut it as a bulimic)and I can't even imagine the pain of something actually scraping across that. It's chilling.
Shells, brrr. Though it could make a kick-ass Show and Tell display if he could stand to keep them. "Well *my* shell collection came out of me."
Gah. That's awful. I'm glad he's home and mostly better, though.
Trudy, that's great news about A! The coming home, not the coughing, 'cuz, owie. Sorry you've got the icks. Tummy~ma!
IOmeN, I had an interview today for a job that isn't. Ah, well. At least they called me in so they could get a better handle on if my skills would be useful when something does open up.
Is it mean for me to respond to a (potential) student "No, I will not send an application because can't follow directions, and are clearly too stupid to go to college"
Student emails me, asks me for an app. I say sure, please send me your address and the name and address of your high school. The response? No shit, verbatim:
621 Ema Street
Lakeland Highschool726 Hollingsworth Road
NO CITY OR STATE!! How does this child think that I am going to get her this information!!!
Trudy, what wonderful news about A!
Lakeland Highschool 726 Hollingsworth Road

Groovy, another product of the fine, fine Florida public high school system.
I'd write the school and berate them for not teaching kids the basics.
ETA: Vortex, she can't even spell her own home address correctly-- it's probably Emma Street

No. But then, I've been wanting to say the same thing to tenured faculty all day.

On behalf of the teaching force in this fine, fine state, I apologize. I do what I can but there are more idiots than there are people to help them.
