Wow, y'all are really into this gaming thing! lol And people tease me for being into WoW. Now about this Illuminati, what is it, and why are they running our country? :biggrin:

Yeah, I found it and the put 2 and 2 together. Thanks, Susan. Good lord, it's like The Song That Never Ends. Her AND her posse. It's like shut UP and step away already.

Wait, huh? lol

Never mind, it's closed. Now let's see if the OP of that post starts another one about my use of the term thuggish. :biggrin:

I think her 'tude is inbred. It's obviously indicative of how she was raised or WHERE she was raised. I about laughed at her bio where she said that at 5'9" and 324 pounds, she didn't look as bad as she thought. Erm... Frankly I don't understand how she can consistently cuss people out and not be banned. I mean, some of us get into personal squabbles, but she's taking it to a whole nuther level. Whassup with that??

Yeah, but is that while working full-time? Remember, I ain't workin'. But I won't lie, I am a bit worried. I don't know how much work this will turn into, and I don't like the unknown that well, especially since I am very anal about my grades and GPA. Good for you, and good luck!!! Not like the girls'. I heard him mention that he was either 300 pounds or nearly 300 pounds. But every time they showed one of the girls talking, they put her age, her height, and her weight. Tacky. Very tacky. WOG! LOVE IT!

One particular person seems to be getting away with quite a lot. I can add the term thuggish to the fact that she's ghetto as well. And common. Those who don't have the brains to use adult words resort to name-calling and cussing. Obviously she wasn't raised right.

I learned the principal thing in first grade, the same way. Never heard the dessert one. That's a good way to teach the difference! Now if only they could teach the their/they're/there debacle, I could quit screaming at my computer screen. :biggrin:

In Houston, where I was at, they were almost literally just grabbing warm bodies off the street to fill teaching positions. The jobs were not that great there, and they didn't pay that well, so good teachers were going elsewhere. My SIL works in the system and saw it firsthand. They probably figure if the person "teaching" is a live body and isn't hacking the kids to death with an axe, all is good. They were more concerned with filling seats and keeping the gang activity to a low rumble than whether a teacher could spell -- even an English teacher.

I have a ticket for a free movie and am contemplating going to see The Ugly Truth. Anybody see it yet? I could use something funny, though I usually go for the more twisted. I've been in a funk since coming back from Houston, so maybe funny would be better.

Well, in fairness to her, her empty nest syndrome includes her son being in harm's way. But yeah, mommy calling the recruiter? Erm... My best friend James (who died from cancer the fall before I moved to Virginia) was one of six boys. Before he was ever born, there was a sister. One night she went to the bathroom, and way back then they had the gas heaters on the walls, and her nightgown caught fire and she burned to death. At that time maybe they only had one other child, a son. They tried for years to have another girl, had six boys, then gave up. Very tragic, especially since when James died, his folks were still alive. :biggrin:

This topic should have never been started. It was simply a way for somebody to usurp your authority when you closed down the other thread.

You're assuming principals care anymore. They don't. All they care about are making sure kids are warming seats because they get money for every day those kids are there.

Wouldn't that be something if princess goes? :biggrin:

Yes, I know, and yes, I guess I am. Five classes. That IS do-able, isn't it?? For me it's not that the stats are off, it's the fact that they put them up there at all. They don't do it with the size 2s... only the fatties. I think it takes this type of show to a new low. I know I FEEL that way, but I put on a facade of being secure. Wasn't that somethin'?? :biggrin: Omg, both are HORRIBLE, but especially the one about the baby!! I don't know what to say... :sad: It's a pisser, ain't it? Have heard nothing either. It kinda ticks me off to be interviewed on the 6th, being told they will make a decision that week, and here we are nearly a month later. :mad:

HUGE prayers for your friend, Lu.

Okay, I admit I'm a spelling Nazi... I don't usually say things on message boards about people's spelling unless I can use it against some pinhead idiot who's acting all superior. Anyway, with that said, some years back I was taking court reporting. When you use a steno machine, it is all done phonetically with some letters represented by a series of letters combined (for instance, a simple J is four letters long). There is a K on there, so a word like "cat" is spelled on the machine as "kat." Then when transcribing from the paper notes, that is what you see. I can't tell you how many times some of us got caught with spelling errors where "cat" was spelled "kat." It'll mess with your head, I'm tellin' ya! :thumbup:

Some of THE worst spelling I've seen comes from teachers. *sigh* When my daughter (who is now 22) hit 6th grade, the pinheads in her junior high decided that they were done with spelling tests. So she would come home each week with these papers that I found out were copied -- COPIED -- from the overhead projector as busy work. I don't even remember what they were for. Anyway, I kept noticing tons of spelling errors on them, but each paper had a check mark on them as if they were acceptable, and not any marks whatsoever delineating the misspellings. I sent a few of them back to the teacher with the misspellings circled in red and asked her in a note why these mistakes weren't at least being brought to my daughter's attention so that she could fix them or work on them (I had begun making my own spelling lists/tests out of words that were consistently misspelled). I said if SHE didn't correct this stuff as her English teacher, who would? She wrote me a short note explaining that the papers were simply busy work and they got credit for having done it with no consideration for HOW it was done. Her short note had about 4-5 misspellings in it. I circled each one in red, and sent back another note saying, "I now see what the problem is. Never mind."

Pointing and laughing.

They say winning an online fight is like winning at Special Olympics: You may be first, but you're still retarded. "You" being figurative, of course.

Good thing you edited that post.

Back-door dealing... dual entry... fork... There's just so many.

The one I saw the other day showed 54% against, and I teased those I was with that the 54% are those Americans who will be forced to pay for it.
