Oh, Daisy, I'm so sorry. That poor boy and his family, and you, and everyone who loves them and him and remembers the sweet-faced twelve-year-old.
All possible peace and strength to his family.
All this, yes.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ann, that's a ferret.
((((Daisy and Daisy's people))))
Maybe you could call tomorrow (after the first flurry of activity subsides) to offer babysitting, or doing something with parents while someone else babysits?

Our wings are not tired.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, DJ. How horrible.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{{Daisy}}} That so sucks. All kinds of peace and ~ma to you and the boy's family.
At least 95% keep saying that teachers make more money than private sector
I will say that the teacher's salaries in the high school districts around here are pretty decent. The elementary districts? NSM.
In the Chicago suburbs, there are elementary districts (K-8) and HS districts (9-12). I work at an elementary district and make roughly 60% what I made working in the private sector 4 years ago. If I were working at the HS district in my area, I would be making roughly 90% of what I made in the private sector. Better, but still not what I made working in corporate America.
Teachers with tons of years (20+) and extracurricular stipends can and do make very low six figures ($100-120K) around here. Principals all make low six figures. Superintendents make more like $250-500K.

The status is NOT quo.
Daisy, I am so sorry. One of my dear friends lost her nephew in a similar accident last year (he decided to try to race across the highway for fun), and it was a heartbreaking experience for all involved. My heart goes out to all of you in dealing with this tragedy.

Happy Birthday, Andi!

Wow. That's actually...wow, what I think teachers SHOULD be paid!
