(MIL in the house)
Stephanie, I was just thinking about you and your MIL's visit this morning, possibly because Mark's mom is coming into town for a visit this weekend. How are you doing?
lisah, I'm so sorry. Frank was lucky to have you to love him all his life and to do right by him at the end.
Yay! I have internet and cable tv at home!!
lisah, I'm sorry about Frank. Fred, good luck with Max's tests.
Tom's first day at work went well, I think. He doesn't hate it yet, so that's something! Things are going well.
Yay! I have internet and cable tv at home!!
Yay!
I don't think the threat gesture should be treated the same as an actual gun; I think "zero tolerance" as it's usually practiced is idiotic. I do support zero tolerance for threats, but it could become difficult to discern threat from play. I don't know what to do; I'm neither a teacher nor a parent, but kids shouldn't be allowed to do that with impunity. I know that when a teenager or an adult makes that gesture at me, I want to beat the hell out of them. It scares me, and that's why they do it: to scare someone. I don't want little kids growing up to become someone I want to beat the hell out of, because no one made it clear to them that that's not right.
Exactly. I don't think it warrants suspension, kids will often mimic what they see other/older kids doing. But, it's an opportunity to educate the child (and classmates at the same time) and if there are anger issues, to address them.
Totally not on the zero tolerance topic, but are canned green beans supposed to have a metallic taste to them? I usually like green beans, canned or otherwise, but these... I threw them out.
You have zero tolerance of metallic green beans!
You have zero tolerance of metallic green beans!
Arrest the Jolly Green Giant!
Just got a bad phone call.
The woman who has been helping as a caregiver with my mom 5 days a week for the past few years was in a near fatal car accident last night. Questionable if she will ever walk again.
Ugh.
Well, shit, Drew. Much ~ma for her healing. And plenty of ~ma for finding your mother a caregiver.
