I see the Value City people are coming to the board let me brace myself for those intellectual zingers they're about to throw at me. I just can’t compete with you intellectuals who quote from friends. Hilarious
I absolutely love this post. Oh please tell me the Grammer Hammer is watching.
Of course, I'm watching. And keeping my gloves on, biting my tongue, and working hard to restrain myself. >giggle< Just for laughs, though, I ran the virtual red pen over the initial quote in this missive!
OMG! LOL! As a former English teacher, I just automatically pick apart the misspellings and grammar...just can't help myself!! So hard to keep myself in check on these boards LOL! Ok, ok, typo's are typo's...but wrong contractions? Those aren't typo's!
I know where you all are going with this...and the dirction of the "picking" is at a person who stirred the pot, but I have to tell you ...you are making me very self conscious of my own post and it's actually starting to feel a bit off-putting...
I agree. Not everyone can write well, and that' not the end of the world.

My husband and I have a really good friend that attended law school there.
Really that is where my middle one went too. She loved it, recommended by my cousin because he went to Harvard Law and thought it was way over rated. She felt she got a more rounded taste of the law there and opened up many doors for her.
Be back in a few
bye all c u tonite!! (yes the spelling was deliberate)lol
Oh Dams don’t worry about it darling some of us have a much more exciting life than to sit back and play a professor in English composition. No offense to the professors, I honestly would rather be me than live off a teachers salary. I hope I'm not being offensive people I'm just being honest.
Take care darling.

Honesty is much preferred to the dreck you and I were spouting earlier.
Can I ask why you feel the need to constantly throw social status into the conversation? Especially on a public board?

You aren't offending me, you're just making me realize how much I value what I do. I wouldn't trade my profession for all the money in the world. I once worked in Hollywood, and it felt souless. Teaching is creative and it gives back to the community. At the end of the day, I feel good about what I've done for myself, my students, the local community, and the larger society. Sound like I'm being idealistic? Maybe. But how else can you get paid for talking about the things you love, influencing and encouraging young minds, and being your own boss? Plus, I get more vacation time than anyone else I know.
But seriously, folks, that's not what I came here to post. If y'all check out Jane Magazine on-line, janemag.com, there's a short, but interesting, interview with TG.

Our posts are absolutely not directed at most, in fact 99.99% of the people on this board. I love all of the fun and bright people here. Unfortunately I seem to be carrying a grudge against one particular poster who claims to be extremely well educated but is obviously not. I apologize to any who are uncomfortable about writing exactly what they wish and in any way they wish. I obviously carried this too far.

ok so lets check the menu for tonite, we have burgers, taco chips with salsa, and a veggie plate. Oh and of course margaritas and PR punch. any desserts? LOL
Here's an excellent, fairly traditional (i.e. no fizzie water) recipe for sangria...
2 bottles rioja (or any red Spanish table wine)
1 cup brandy
1/2 cup triple sec
1 cup orange juice
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup simple syrup, or more to taste (equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves, cooled)
Orange slices
Blackberries
Pomegranate seeds
Mix all ingredients together and let stand in a tightly sealed container or pitcher for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
Actually, severn, Chaddsford winery has the sangria for the lazy. It's called Sangri-la Sangria and it's a red wine with very fruity tones...really good out of the fridge in the summer.
Nope. But your life seems to depend on it and I wondered why?
You poor thing I'm sure you'll get over it though since you're so educated and intelligent.

i don't think anyone on this board has made me uncomfortable. and i know i sometimes get caught up in the drama, but it is fun to let the fur fly.
and whoever said earlier that we could all be lying about who we are - it is true. did i mention i own an emu farm in new zealand? and i run with the bulls at least twice a year. i have a chateau in nice. and bathe in cristal every winter in my hot tub. but who cares?
p.s. damsel - we are only 1 hour away - it would be so much fun if you came down!! alas, we shall just have to content ourselves with the communal party on the board.

Not to but into your business and you can tell me to go take a flyin leap but have you considered getting your thyroid checked?
Unfortunately, I have the joy of a hypo-thyroid. That is an underactive thyroid gland. At first I was hyper- (overactive), but now I have to take a pill everyday to suppliment . It is a simple blood test to determine if you have a problem.
An Endocrinologist is the specialist you might be sent to. My dr sent me to one & he is just great. He told me that it doesn't matter if you are hyper or hypo, the symptoms could be the same. Weight gain or loss, a general run down feeling, unusual anger...go to webmd.com and type in thyroid and it will explain this better.
Because of other issues, even though my thyroid is right on target, I still am having trouble losing weight. But one of my sisters has had some success now that she is on medication for it.
www.webmd.com best place ever for explainations of things.
Thanks for the info Sister! I will definitely look into this. If it really were my thyroid, and it could be controlled, I would be whooping for joy!!!

That's awesome...That's what makes TG so classy (no puns or reference to anyone intended) he can answer the most random questions with an air of intelligence yet you don't feel like he's talking down to anyone...I think that's what makes him such a good educator. I know I would like to take a class from him, because I think I'd learn something.
It's 4 o'clock here and the reruns are starting...see ya'll later.
Is your character based upon an in-depth Joan Collins study or is this totally impromptu?

Oh! No, no, no! Not what I meant! I haven't pointed out anyone's typos, wrong word usage, grammar, etc!! And I DON"T WANT TO!! It's just that being a former English teacher, you just can't help but notice!! I read it on boards, I hear it in conversations but I zip my lip to it! Who, as adults, wants to be corrected for their grammar?!?!? And, believe me, I am not infallible in that area. Just happen to notice it is all!!!! Would really waste my time if I just policed the boards for grammar infractions, don't you think?!?!!!
Well Ladies (and the occasional gentleman), I am off to pick up supplies for tonight.
Damsel - thanks for the Chaddsford tip - I will check the state store to see if they carry it.
I hope to talk to everyone tonight after the show. In the meantime, I shall be making offerings to the PR gods that they auf Vincent tonight. What do you think a proper PR gods offering would be - fur? booze? harry winstons? brioches? suggestions welcome.

Darling, that's it? Sheeshz. I own my own jetliner so I can flit off to my own home in the swiss alps whenever I want. Then I head to my fabulous apartment in Paris where I shop at only haute couture stores. I also have a lodge in Aspen, a summer home in upstate New York, and I winter at my mansion in Miami which is also where I keep my yacht. I have so many diamonds that I have a Brinks trunk follow me wherever I go. I own more Jimmy Choo shoes than even Jimmy Choo. And I have Vera Wang and D&G on retainer. I certainly don't work for a living and have a full staff that travels with me wherever I go (chef, chauffeur, masseuse, personal assistant, nutritionist, personal trainer, therapist, chamber maid...have I missed anyone?).

Actually, our UPS driver gets more time off than most teachers I know!! Seriously! He's worked for them for years and years and gets 12 weeks off a year --- without having to get a second job or enroll in any continuing education courses!!! (which I have teacher friends that do)
Anyway, thank god we have people like you to teach our young minds. I tried teaching for a year and I honestly consider it the worst year of my life! So kudos to you for loving to teach! I wish all teachers had the same attitude!! We need good teachers in this country and we need to PAY THEM WHAT THEY'RE WORTH!! For goodness sakes!! Why does everyone seem to know that but no one does anything about it?!?!?!?

Fabulous memory you have! Love, love, love the wine fridge. It has to be my favorite purchase for the remodel. I mean, I love my Viking range, too, but I considered that a requisite, not an option like the wine fridge. No matter what kind of wine I feel like having, it's there waiting for me at the perfect temp....so handy for when you have guests, too. Esp when some want white, some want red...and I've got both just ready to be popped open and enjoyed!!

Your right everyone on here could be lying about who they are and what they have unfortunately for some they don't have any real net worth and never will. I don't recall anyone here ever boasting about personal possessions or fabulous summer homes or driving Bentley Phantoms.

IMHO it is because public schools are funded by taxes, most often property taxes, and people don't like to pay taxes. /begin rant What really, really bugs me is when people w/ no children say they shouldn't have to pay any taxes that go toward education. WTF??? Don't they know those kids will one day be their doctor or CPA or mayor or president? Do they want a bunch of illiterates in positions of power and influence? I have no children but I gladly pay my taxes for education. And I don't mind paying any other tax...I consider it the price of admission to live in the USA. /rant over

I'm not as happy with the Viking as I had hoped I would be...love the french top, but the ovens just don't thrill me. Pehaps they just take getting used to.

FF1, tell your son he is not alone. My Hubby started to lose his hair in high school. By the time I met him at 26 he had lost the middle and was left with u shaped hairline. He is still good looking to me. In fact when I see pictures of him before I think he doesn't look right.lol You know the old saying" Women marry men that remind them of their father." Well I did.lmao

First let me say that schools are underfunded and no teacher is paid what they are worth.
Having said that, what makes anyone think we don't have a bunch of iiliterates in public office now?
