Our wings are not tired.

I watched breast reduction surgery on medical tv a while back. It was incredible. A friend had this done years ago and she was so happy. She didn't know what she loved more, being able to buy clothes that fit right, or being able to bend over to garden.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have just massacred a bowl of couscous with pork, basil cheese, almonds, snap peas, and craisins.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Re: Breast reduction - my mom had it done about 8 years ago and has been so happy with it. Pretty much solved the pinched nerve in her shoulder.

That's excellent news, Cash.

And thanks for the link, Kat -- I need that T-shirt, too.

Now I have to figure out a way to break it to my boobies.

and your husband. My bro's xGF got breast reduction surgery. He said "I'm not ashamed to admit that I begged"

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I think failing a kid for using IDK on an answer where they were told to be clever is more extreme than I'd go personally. In situations like that I have just opted not to grade the paper and said that the child would have a zero until things were done correctly. It's the same short term result with the net long term possibility of fixing it and redemption in general.

I think that's a good and clear way of doing it. It's the lack of clearly stated expectations for what is failure that grate at me. You want to enforce your expectations? Communicate them first. Say what you've got a zero tolerance policy about FIRST. Otherwise, the leg you're standing on is hollow and riddled with termites.
