I have fantasies and none of them involve sleep.

while I was doing laundry yesterday, I got a wild hair and tried the clothespins-on -the-nips thing.

I brushed my teeth while I waited for the excitement to kick in.

nothing happened. I want my money back.

Perhaps you just require something with a tad more bite.

Oh my God, the ignorance of some of the parents at that school is astounding.

The ignorance levels of the general population is astounding, and thus normal. Remember: statistically, half of us are below average. (I always tested at 99th percentile; I'm just lazy.)

I lost two FB friends (one I unfriended, one unfriended me) because of Sandy Hook, of all things. What the actual fuck?

It seems to have become a litmus test for the crazies. I can't explain it by any means, though. Boggles the mind.

It can get pretty scary out there. Looking at the FB post I was talking about, I'm pretty sure she's a pot-stirrer. But an ignorant one.

I belong to a "parent information board" for our district on FB. You would expect questions about important dates, how to sign your kids up for sports, etc. Fairly drama free, right? HAHAHA I think I'll be leaving that group.

 

[silverwhisper]

gotta confess, the parent information board sounds to me like a buncha kneejerking self-righteous meddlesome busybodies. is it just me?

The hot topic of conversation tonight? A parent in a tizzy because 3rd, 4th & 5th graders are running outside in gym class! The horror of it all!! She is concerned because they are running laps around the building, and when they hit the back side of the building, the gym teacher can't see them and God knows what could happen in that minute. Her question was "am I just being overly concerned or should we request a policy change."

 

[silverwhisper]

just what the fuck does she think the kids are gonna be doing?! huffing paint or model cement?

Um... what's going to happen when these little punks are going to be big punks and come to university?

That or being snatched up.

This is a quote:
"I am very torn by allowing autonomy and keeping my kids safe. Their safety is worth the discussion, to me."

Her biggest argument was that they are running alone. I pointed out they are all running at the same time. She didn't seem to understand that concept. Her argument was that all kids run at different rates of speed. While some kids might be running in a group of 3 or 4, there were bound to be kids running alone. Ok, I get that, but it's not like they are isolated for any great length of time. I wanted to tell her if her kid was that slow, he's being lapped by the others anyway, and again, not alone. Knees to chest, ya whiney little brat, KNEES TO CHEST!!!!

I'm assuming mumma will move with him, because God forbid he's let out of the bubble.

So that means I have not only students to contend with but their parents.

Thanks for the head's up!

Good luck, Fire Breeze, good luck!

 

[fire_breeze]

Where are the mods when you need them?

 

[Hypoxia]

Lots of drink, drugs, sex, all the usual. They might read a book, too.

 

[Hypoxia]

Having a party out back. Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, and pinging. No, we weren't invited. Darn.

i'm not a parent myself but as a friend of mine likes to put it, parenting isn't about raising veal. that kid is in for an agonizing adolescence/early adultood.

fb quoth:

hasn't this been true for years already anyway though?

I have shown more self restraint this week, than I have in my entire life.

Eek! Maybe i'm growing up a little.

*runs for pillow fort, coloring book, and chocolate milkshake to stave off the responsibility*

i have a thread for that!

I am likely speaking for the group here, and I think that we would all like to see more of you, in restraints, next week.

 

[Wild_Honey_66]

if Saucy says it's okay, does anyone mind if i use her straw to drizzle chocolate milkshake all down her middle?

somebody would have to clean up the mess, though...

What's better than a nice warm day, to see the sun brightly cast upon clear azure skies. To see a kaleidoscope of colours from a sea of flowers. To watch butterflies flutter about and feel a gentle breeze upon your skin. Ah summer what a wonderful experience. An experience I have to conjure in my imagination. Because my eyes are burning, blood shot and tired. My nose running like a broken tap and the constant and relenting need to sneeze. Screw you hey fever!
