I’ll try not to do it again but it’s early morning and I’m not in full control of faculties so I can’t promise that something humorous might not accidentally slip by me.
Hello Ask,
I knew instantly what you were referring to and I could hear Renee quite clearly. Those of you who have never seen Allo, Allo have really missed something. I’m so
pleased to hear it’s available.
Hi Puget,
A fellow fan!
Amazing how they use the accent(s) to signify the ‘nationalities’ of the various characters – long-time fans will know what I am talking about, but it’s hard to explain – must be experienced.
I woke up at my normal work time and came to school just to decorate my room. Our first day is Monday, but I’ll be dressed nicer than I am now, so I would rather sweat today than on Monday.
What grade is your high schooler? Does he(?0 like his schedule?
He’s a junior now and they are on a block schedule, which both of us like. It seems like his schedule is pretty good for first semester with a good mix of hard classes with fun ones like tech theatre.
As a parent I can tell you that kids really appreciate walking into a classroom that’s freshly decorated and ready for them. 🙂
I tried to convince some of my Student Council members to stop by today to help out, but no go. These boards will stay up all year. Unlike elementary school teachers, us high school teachers don’t need to change that often. I try to add a few art posters to class every few months.
I fucking hate BIBLE-THUMPERS!!!!!! Some religious jerk posted this on my blog this am.
I’m sorry that you had to undergo such heartbreaking experiences being different. Some people just cannot accept other people’s unique nature. Jesus loves you, I’m sure. He died for your sins as much as he did for mine. I’m not gay nor do I approve of homosexuality but I know I am as imperfect as the people around me and I know for a fact that only God will make the last judgment.
and here is my reply
Did I ask for your approval? I don’t think so. I would just prefer it if the Bible-thumpers would leave me the hell alone. I am so damn sick of people telling me they don’t judge but don’t approve. God made me the way I am if there is a God. With what I have seen in this World I highly doubt there is a God at all. It is just a myth to make people feel better about their pathetic lives.
I now return you to your regular morning programming.
Thanks. I just had to vent a little and share with people who would understand or at least be supportive. LOL I know I should be use to this but it never gets easier. I have started leaving their comments and making mine back unless it gets really nasty.
I could never be as civil as you are to someone who felt compelled to drop by and pretend that he was being understanding and humble so that he could demonstrate to you how morally superior he was.
I always ask them this: “Could you show me in the Bible what Jesus said about homosexuality?” And then I sit back with a bowl of popcorn while they come unglued.
if you’ve had a chance to follow what’s going on here in the Golden State — there’s a measure making its way through the legislature that would allow domestic partners to file jointly on their state income taxes. LINKY
Of course, there are the standard Republican Neanderthal bloviations of recognizing “sexually deviant behavior”… 🙁
I just talked to a big law firm that handles personal injuries, etc about my daughter’s case and they’re going to take it. The schmuck’s insurance guy called my daughter within 24 hours of the accident and RECORDED her talking about her injuries. They’re so slimy.
That is typical for an adjuster to call like that. I work in insurance. Now that you have hired a lawyer, Tell your daughter to refer them to the lawyer if they ever call again.
Thanks, I have done that. She’s 21 so technically on her own, but she’s still on our insurance because she’s a full time student. They wanted her to sign a bunch of papers but fortunately she was home with us and we put a stop to that. It’s new territory for us.
Did they tell her they were going to record the conversation? Back in the good old days that was required. Maybe they don’t have to notify you ahead of time anymore. Aarrrgh!
fairly easy today; spouse and I plan to catch a nap later since we’re going to be out quite late (for us); heading to Camera 7 for the midnight flick “TRON”. Should be a lot of fun… 🙂
Good morning Andi.
Oops, I seem to be stuck in French mode. Let me fix that.
Hi FM.
What’s up Andi? Any big plan for today?
I think you might want to start asking that question of someone who might be likely to give you an answer that was in the least bit interesting.
Nothing. No.
LOL, Andi. Wait, it hurts to LOL this early in the morning.
I’ll try not to do it again but it’s early morning and I’m not in full control of faculties so I can’t promise that something humorous might not accidentally slip by me.
Good moaning, all!
(Inspired by Rene; Netflix just sent us the first season of ‘Allo ‘Allo.)
What’s ‘Allo, ‘Allo? (well, besides some sort of TV series)
Britcom at it’s best.
‘Allo ‘Allo
Thanks. I’ll have to check it out some time.
The dogs are insisting it’s light enough for them so it’s light enough for me — time to go walk in the woods.
Have at the very least a passable day.
Morning ask. I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it.
Hi FM,
Then you’ve missed out on some great fun.
Here’s another link.

Hi Andi, Ask, & FamilyMan!!!! How is everyone this fine Friday morning?
Hey 69 (I figured that would cheer you up this morning) – how is your back doing? How are the cutie pies doing?
Morning!!!! The back is getting better. The Diva Dogs are being just that… little Divas. LOL
Bad backs are a drag. Glad you’re feeling better.
Thank you!!!!
Good morning all.
I would like to state for the record that I hate bulletin boards.
You may now go back to your toast and orange juice.
Decorating your classroom, Toni?
Today is my high schooler’s first day of class.
I woke up at my normal work time and came to school just to decorate my room. Our first day is Monday, but I’ll be dressed nicer than I am now, so I would rather sweat today than on Monday.

Is that stage design, scene building, lighting, etc.? That sound like a cool class.
hey, think there’s any way bulletin board design could be a class project for him?
Probably not – no bulletin boards in the auditorium.
I am sure it will be great!!!! You can always assign some kid to do the bulletin board for the rest of the year. LOL
I tried to convince some of my Student Council members to stop by today to help out, but no go. These boards will stay up all year. Unlike elementary school teachers, us high school teachers don’t need to change that often. I try to add a few art posters to class every few months.
That will work. Did you really expect a student to show up on the last free friday? ROTFLMAO!!!!! They would have to be a total geek with no life.
I fucking hate BIBLE-THUMPERS!!!!!! Some religious jerk posted this on my blog this am.

I now return you to your regular morning programming.
I’m sorry, RF. Those people are insufferable in their self-righteousness.
Thanks. I just had to vent a little and share with people who would understand or at least be supportive. LOL I know I should be use to this but it never gets easier. I have started leaving their comments and making mine back unless it gets really nasty.
I could never be as civil as you are to someone who felt compelled to drop by and pretend that he was being understanding and humble so that he could demonstrate to you how morally superior he was.
Well I did have to retype my response 5 times. LOL
ah, so it did originally start out “you smug, self-righteous shithead”? 🙂
No more like… f you you bible thumping shithead. LOL
I have had friends who wait tables and it is people like that poster who would leave a Bible verse instead of a monetary tip.
I had someone do that years ago and I went up to them and told them to take the bible and shove it up their butt.
is that a perverse form of sodomy with an inanimate object?
I think that goes against at least one of the Bible verses.
ROTFLMAO!!!
I always ask them this: “Could you show me in the Bible what Jesus said about homosexuality?” And then I sit back with a bowl of popcorn while they come unglued.
bat, tumble, tumble, tumble, bat. Lovely.
It kind-of is. I play it every time I see my father’s family. Do you think that makes me a bad person? Maybe it just makes me a good cat. 🙂

Thought you might be interested…

Because I thought that recording people without their consent was illegal.
And yes, they are slime and I hope you make them pay big.
She’s young and naive (of course they knew that) and she gave her consent. Now she knows better.
That’s one of those weird little things that differs from state law to state law, I believe.
Did they tell her they were going to record the conversation? Back in the good old days that was required. Maybe they don’t have to notify you ahead of time anymore. Aarrrgh!
I really am getting old and now I suspect I need to wear my reading glasses on the computer too.
I just thought I read: Deadly tomatoes strike Minnesota.
I have seen that tomato, at a roadside stand in Minnesota no less.
i’m off the airport to pick up wolverine writer.
Have a good visit. 🙂
time for a nap . My back is acting up again. Check you guys and gals later!!!!
and I’ll take that as a sign I need to start working.
Later, all.
I just woke up. Ah, the joys of not having to work. 😀
