    oh (((Mishee))) girly-girl.

    Do you have good friends who smoke? Maybe you could keep your stuff at their house for the rest of his probation.

    ugh, he found my pot and pipe and stuff in my car on Sat and then I fucking lied about it being mine (it’s almost knee-jerk which kind of worries me that I can’t control that impulse - but it’s only with him!!) like I was a fucking teenager! I should’ve just said it was mine, but it took me two days to confess.

    He’s pissed since we have honesty issues as it is. And that if he had to submit to a probation search they can search that car since his name is on the title and he could’ve gone back to jail. I didn’t know that part. I thought he had to be in the car for them to search it.

    I know CB! I checked Urbandictionary and nothing … checked Wikipedia and google couldn’t find it … but I SWEAR I have heard that somewhere else … I seem to remember someone telling me that and not believing them many many moons ago … but Like I said, I could be wrong

    Thanks Claw! Then maybe it was MrUHG or one of my in-laws telling me about this (THEY don’t call them Mangoes, but being from KY they probably have heard it)

    YES. People from West Virginia and parts of Kentucky call green peppers mangoes. I don’t know why but when you consider the demographics imagine how somebody from this area would react if you brought them the tropical fruit rather than a bell pepper when they asked you to pick a few up from the store.

  •   Canthz_B

    My mom gave my sister the family’s three-family house.
    It was supposed to be a refuge in case of emergencies like mine so none of us would ever be home-less.
    My sister converted it into a one family so my option of moving in there would now be living with the sister from Hell.
    I’d rather move to AZ than the 2 miles to my sister’s house!! LOL
    Every time she cries about the taxes I’d love to scream that she had two perfectly good rental units before she became a megalomaniac.

  •   unholyghost2003

    :lol: yup CB, but it isn’t that bad most of the time … especially if you have separate spaces. To get into my parent’s house from our apartment you actually have to go outside. We can go days without ever seeing my folks, we have our own kitchen and meals (except those meals family living close by would normally share, birthdays and holidays and stuff)

    LOL yeah … that never happened at my undergrad. I will give them that. If you didn’t call in with an excuse for being out (or send someone with your excuse) the profs would call you at your house … but that is a double edged sword … profs who didn’t show regularly and for lame ass reasons would get “What the fuck man? I was here. Where the hell where you?”

    I had a prof that told us that if we see a snowflake don’t come in.
    We thought he meant if the school was closed, but in late November there were a few flakes forecast…no accumulation…so we all went to class and there was a sign on the door saying Prof. Jones’ classes were cancelled for the day.
    Same guy let us use our notes during exams.
    We loved him and his classes always filled first!!

  •   unholyghost2003

    I’m with you there CB! The world needs ditch diggers too! nothing against ditch diggers … but not everyone is cut out for academia and trying to act like everyone is hurts the kids who are not and the kids who are.

    CB, that depends on the school and the classes. At my undergrad and my grad school both my largest classes were about 30-50 people and I had classes that were only me and the prof. Most of my upper level undergrad classes were less than a dozen people. That can get a little … intense but did me well!

    You may have said, but I don’t back read :oops: … what is your degree in?

    I hope he doesn’t have Alzheimer’s! He is younger than my dad! that would be sad. Yeah, after everything went to SHIT in KY hubby and I moved into the apartment my parents own that is next door to their house. The rent is “free” (meaning we “pay rent” by being “free” manual labor with young backs for house repairs, yard work, dog sitting and what not.) We don’t plan to be here forever … but for now it isn’t bad!

    Me too, CB (regarding the light in the eyes and the arbitrariness of grades).

    Institutions need grades, unfortunately, but if you’re at a good one, you can usually work your way around that.

    Teaching on your own terms is a pretty rewarding thing.

    “it’s time to do me now.” heh heh heh … CB I think you are in the right place for that my friend. Line ‘em up ladies! ;) yes, I think you would make MY favorite kind of teacher … patient and understanding with those who are having trouble with a concept or just struggle in general … but the 2nd time one of those annoying kids ask a stupid question just to be a smartass … BLAMO! all hell breaks loose!

    Why not look into teaching at the college level? It is more likely that those kids ACTUALLY want to be in class and you can throw stuff at them if they are being bad (UHG has had to duck flying chalk)

    Mornin’ Rose, CB, amy!

    has morpho told us about the three hour chatterbox?

    Just reading back on your learning style - interesting - I do that with Japanese words sometimes. If I had to learn medical jargon, I’d probably have to employ it too.

    Your mum is right - I think you’d be a good teacher. I think you’d have the patience (to teach) most of the time :D

    End of May or end of June if I find no work.
    Taalib is on his own, I have not heard from him in weeks.
    I have no regrets about things, except I wonder if I should have pressured him into grief counseling after his mom died. Maybe if I had…but you can’t make a dead dog bark.

    Anyway, there’s nothing keeping me in NJ any longer. My daughters are both adults now and their mom is re-married so everything there is secure. Celeste is gone and Taalib does not need me. My oldest step-son is 30 and stable in his life.
    I’ve done my part and it’s time to do me now.

    Wade, I gotta thank you for this video . We did it in class today and it was brilliant. It’s amazing how much images loosen up the students’ ability to communicate sophisticated ideas. None of them knew about Abu Grahib, sadly, but - the rest of it was there - it’s a pretty chilling video.

    damn, missed everybody - that’s what i get for talking to that girl for 3 hours. oh well
    ((RB)) - sorry your tonsils are giving you hell - i had mine out when i was 3. all i remember is it hurt afterwards. and i still have nightmares about the nuns.
    ((uhg)) - aww, feel better soon, my allergies have been bad lately too, i think it’s because of the old lady perfume i’ve been surrounded by :D
    ((cb)) - yay on keeping the rock star. good luck with the moving
    ((wade, fantasy, glo, crash, gwenn, amy, 2nd, Zb, mish, claw)) hey to y’all
    claw - i wish you would comment more here, you are a very entertaining man. i like reading you since you are funny and thought-provoking. as far as jumping in with non-sequitors, who cares? as many times as i’ve bounced in and said something off the wall and everyone lets me get away with it.

    wade - i wasn’t on the phone with T, i was talking to that girl until almost 9 pm. about y’know, stuff. god, i’ll be glad when all of this is settled. :roll:

    Tips hat to wade as he exits and applies gentle pressure to Amy’s supple body.
    Wondering if she really wants this…

    Oh! That was totally a DUH moment.

    Sorry, Wade, I thought you were rejecting me out of hand.

    CB, I’m getting ready to get out of here myself. Got some more reading to do before beddy-bye. Can we pick this up again another night, my dear?
