It's morning for me.

And now I'm hungrier! sad laugh

Just weird... my kids have been gone now for over a month and it's STILL hard to make food for just myself. Feels pointless... Ugh.

I think it is true. Look at children's literature. What was written for younger readers a hundred years ago is now considered high school reading.

One of the foremost children writers of my childhood has stopped writing kids books and only writes for adults now because parents started getting pissed off at the fact she wrote about serious topics in her kids books. As if kids are supposed to be protected from having to deal with puberty, with the death of a loved one, from the sad things in life a that happen.

If kids can't read about these things in the safety of a child's book, and parents don't want people expose their children to these things, then how do we expect children to be able to face the death of a grand parent or a parent or a school mate. Because most of the parents that don't want their kids exposed are also not discussing it with the children.

Look at t.v. and movies. The intellectual quality gets lower and lower and lower every decade. It's as if there is an attempt to lower the overall public intellect and awareness so that people are easier to "guide" and "control".

The old theory that people didn't have enough access to information to make knowledgeable decisions on policy so we need our politicians to do it for us doesn't hold water anymore.

So there has to be a way to make people more docile and controllable so they can keep the power in their hands and not in the hands of the general populous.


It's MUCH easier to control an ignorant populace than an educated one. I've seriously considered doing a documentary on DSHS and how it works -- anyone who has ever been in the system knows that it's set up to keep people IN it. Way easier to control people, too, when they are dependent on you for life.

As for the literature thing, AMEN and OMG YES! I encourage my children to read "above" their level, and we have a reading/homework time on the weekends. No TV. No video games. BOOKS. The ones who can't read yet look at the pictures or I read to them. They all enjoy it.

One of the biggest things I want to do when I teach literature is get high schoolers to THINK. My sophomore English teacher Mr. Brown told us that literature was a GREAT way to bring up topics we otherwise wouldn't be allowed to talk about in school, such as abortion, religion, and politics. We had some AMAZING discussions in that class. Just awesome. And every student went away with SOMETHING new to ponder before the class was complete.

Ohh! Nice one!

I got my cut originally about four years ago. Went to the Davenport hotel here to get a "free haircut" with some friends, and it turned out to be a model search. I went wearing my punkiest/gothest clothes so they would give me a punky/goth hairdo, and it worked. Three girls were picked right away, a blonde, a brunette and a redhead. I was the brunette. He chose to do "The Raven" on me, which is pretty much the exact haircut I have had since. It TOTALLY changed my look and boosted my confidence. I have never looked back!

Go for it!!!

Well, I know MY problem is that I live in a town of 6000 people, 85% hispanic, and 85% of THAT percentage illegal, and there's only a super WalMart in my town...not even a decent RESTAURANT to meet a waiter or something! :) I just don't leave this town, b/c my job is here...so I'm waiting for SOME miracle to happen :)


Washington, 85% Hispanic... Yakima? laugh

To be PERFECTLY honest, I'd probably not say anything and sit through the date, then not talk to them again.

I'm a chickensh**.

No you'll probably not find love by posting in the forums... but if you READ, THINK, and CONTRIBUTE, you certainly can find great new ways of thinking and going about finding someone OFFline in your area... the RIGHT one the RIGHT way. flowerforyou

Possibly.

Fear, now you know if we did that this world would be full of war and torture and hate and poverty and... oh...


The world is full of war, torture, hate, and poverty because of greed. Greed has a logic point and doesn't tend to fail...his logic doesn't have any point, or logic for that matter...


My point exactly. :wink:

MissWright? You get a great big smacky kiss from me for that! flowers rofl

WAR


also.....



People who use the system, costing us who work even more taxes. Really angers me that some children have to live in blight because of their lazy*ss parents.


YES, YES, YES!! Makes my cresh fleep!


Again, I'm on the system.

I'm also going into grad school this fall to teach literature and show my kids how to LIVE and go for their dreams no matter what. If not for the system, I would never have been able to do that.

And so I can get OFF the system.

We're not all lazy.

Aww I feel so loved! love

Thank you JT, Romee and rara!

Dan,

Pacific, thank you for such a long rating! What would a "more mature" pic look like?

Your profile is well written and you are very clear in the very beginning about your children being #1 priority. Any guy who follows your posts would have to fall in love with you!


Thank you Katz. What matters the most is that he understands and accepts that. :smile:


Great profile. You state what you want in a man and give a good description of yourself. blah blah blah

I sound so freaking phoney.


Your hot and you rock!! Thats what I mean!


And it was Mark Twain who said your quote. Anyone with google knows that. :tongue:


LOL! Thanks I needed that. laugh

Course, anyone who sees my sn should be able to GUESS it. laugh

Have you taken part in other discussions here? There are some REALLY smart people here. You just have to weed through the crap.

This is a respond to the woman who wrote a topic entiteld ( men are players) I just want to findout how did u know we r players unless you were cheating on your boyfriends first.


Wait, what? This line right here nullifies the rest of your post, matter of fact I didn't even read past this line as I figured the rest would pretty much make no sense as well.


would it be that hard to spell check. i understand a few errors but come on already.


Not the spelling. The logic.
