Ahem.. I beg to differ. If they were boulders guys wouldn't want to play with them.

Mama, I happen to like bras and rarely go without one(except bedtime)just for comfort sake. I have to buy the expensive ones for proper support, but you would not believe the difference an extra 25-30 dollars makes when it comes to the bustline. I always hit the annual sales, but it still kills me to spend that money. Once you do, it's hard to wear anything but the best. I'm just glad I am not like my aunt, she had to get custom bras because she was something like a GG cup(as in Geee are those real?). Can you imagine the cost? *shock*

Faerr, I do buy the expensive ones (Victoria's Secret) but still hate having my body confined. *grin* My husband runs around without a shirt when we're doing house projects and I usually make a comment about how jealous I am that he can do that. Of course, he tells me that I can too but he forgets that there are still laws against indecent exposure.


Nok! You're naughty. *ROFL*

Actually, it's gravity that sucks.

Hey Faerr, I wonder if burning bird feathers smell like burning animal fur?

Where did that buzzard feather I found a while back get off to.....

Oh, speaking of animals and their fur, Jane Doe is in the yard this afternoon. Her coat looks kind of rough but she's probably shedding it before her winter coat grows in. Other than that she looks pretty healthy. Heh, she almost walked up on the back porch. The little dog just doesn't understand why we don't let her chase the deer. Little weenie dog thinks she is ten feet tall and bullet proof until something spooks her and then she runs and squeals bloody murder.

And yes, Faerr, Jane Doe left a nice sized pile of 'thank you' by the corner of the house.

how come school shopping is so expensive these days? I remember when I was a kid, 50 bucks and I got an ENTIRE years worth of supplies and extras "just in case". Went shopping for my two boys ... OMG .. 200 bucks later .. WTH ... (granted we got them new shoes, and one brand new "first day of school" outfit (from Kmart so it was cheap)) but I mean c'mon. Even after factoring out the cloths thats still 75 bucks (each) worth and that was for the first half of school. Not counting restocking the supplies after holiday break in Dec/Jan.


ok, so I am just a cheap ass ... .. oh yeah, the generic stuff (roseart ... well thats not generic anymore) instead of Crayola is more expensive then the 'name brand' (Crayola) these days. I don't get it .. I really don't.

And don't suggest the dollar store .. this one here is scary .. I went there twice in the 7 years I have been here and its just ... well scary.

Young pups! Dollar store? Try a five and dime!

Bajeez! When I was a kid we had to ride the mammoth thru 10 feet of snow.....

OK, all funning aside, Pixie I understand your frustrations. We are pouring literally billions of dollars into schools that can't teach our kids squat.

I ran across a quote a while back that went like this:

In the last fifty years, our public schools have gone from teaching Latin and French in high school to teaching remedial English in college. Some progress, huh?

Remember when going to a Rexall Pharmacy or a Woolworth's with a soda fountain was a big deal?! I do.


Oh don't get me started on schools. My parents never helped me with my homework, or drove me to or from school... I did just fine. Classes had 35 to 40 students... yet I learned to read and write. Schools then still had art and music... and could still afford to send kids on field trips without nickle &amp; diming the parent's wallet empty.

Yet if a parent doesn't do all that and everything else for their kids today... they're considered a bad parent.

Okay... I started. I better let this one go.

Okay Shard! Cute link, but why do people think I am into child torture and humiliation? *taps forehead and ponders*


Nok, those are all great observations. I am not sure when you went to school. The need for supplemental supplies kicked in in the very late 80's in some states and now is pretty much the norm.

I drive my children to school because there are no sidewalks and the traffic is insane. There is also no safety in walking since there are no other children walking(because there are no sidewalks along a 45 mph road).

With fewer people actually home during the day that safety network called a neighborhood where people are watching and know everything that is happening rarely or does not exist at all any longer. Communities are larger and society is more transient than in years past. Before when I was a child we knew to stay away from Mr. [insert name for town weirdo here] because he wasnt right in the head and wanted to play doctor with the neighborhood kids. You don't know your neighbors as well now. I do not know the name of each person that lives in each house on my child's route. I don't like that.

As for the school supplies, I agree they are ridiculous. We are now asked to provide dry erase markers,dry erasers, erasers, highlighters, sticky notes,markers, crayons, pencils, papers, brad folders, kleenex, ziploc bags???, construction paper, scissors, ruler, manilla paper, glue, glue sticks, spiral notebooks, water color paints.

The three items that really chap my ass that we are asked to provide are disinfectant hand gel, baby wipes and new on the list this year was 'clorox disinfectant wipes'. *blink*

Then you find out they put most of it in a school store room and even have the appaling nerve to share it with other schools within our district!

So now I just buy the obvious things and then skip on most of it and ask the teacher if they really really need this or that. By waiting until after the open house for most of the school supplies I figure I saved a good $50.00 on all my kids supplies combined. I swear, they never come home with stuff made out of half that crap I send each year. I mean exactly where is the manila paper mountain at? I had a teacher even tell me "ask before you buy, I have more manila and construction papers than I know what to do with."

In some ways I agree with the government when they talk about waste of funds and they want schools to be more accountable and use their funds wisely. It's just that the cutbacks are affecting us in our wallets since we are expected to provide the extra items that the schools are not getting funded for. bleh

what kills me is we now have to supply the fine arts program too .. I mean yes, its a good program .. but WTF ... what is happening to all the school funding that parents have to supply it??????

and yes, I put my kids name on EVERYTHING .. I expect them back if they are not used .. one teacher last year made a "communal" supply box, she basically took all the kids supplies and put them in great big tubs .. I was PISSED .. I told her I wanted my kids supplies back (he was moving to another class) and she couldn't even give me his damned 3 ring binder .. I was sooo irate .. I went to the principle and needless to say I get them all back. I have a feeling she paid out of her own pocket cause I told her that is the same and theft, I bought them for MY child, not for the teacher to do with as she pleases.

yeah I wasn't a happy parent.
 
U

What's so stupid about that is if she put them in a communal box then there should have been one there for her to take out and give you.

I don't mind putting the glue and crayons in a communal box. You know those things aren't coming home with your child. But their pencil box, scissors and ruler should come home with them.

If I buy my child a special sparkle dookie dinky doo, then they should get that. It shouldn't go to another child.

Kafka's comment made me spit my coffee on the screen. Thank you sir. *LOL*

Nok, I also remember the Woolworth's, Tempo and White Drug stores that had the soda fountains and some of the best hamburgers you could find. *makes nummy sounds*

As to the schools...do kids even have the one assigned desk that we used to have? My supplies went in there and when school was over, we put everything in a paper bag and took it home for our mom to figure out where to put all those rulers, crayons, paper and pencils. I still miss those pencils that were so thick, they were like holding a tree branch. I'm aging myself but penmanship and deportment were also graded and I've never figured out why those were dropped. I tried so hard to get an 'A' in deportment but my love of chatting in school always seemed to merit a 'B'. *sigh* Granted, there were teachers who just didn't like some of their students but if Little Johnny or Jane were acting up, that low grade in deportment definitely got parents' attention. But then again, I guess I grew up in an age where children could be disciplined and parents didn't have to worry about someone calling the cops. I think I'm too freakin old for this world anymore. *grumble*

Mama Faith,
I didn't get a photo of my vorpal bunny this morning, however I did get a picture of the bull who apparently was late for the Dances With Cows event that was waiting outside my door. (I guess better him than the mountain lion that's been spotted in a residential neighborhood.) It took six people to move this bad boy to a corral where he could be loaded into a trailer, then returned home. I got this shot while I was waiting for the owners to show up. Once people started walking in my yard, this guy felt trapped, looked everyone over, decided I was the weakest link, and blew snot at me which caused me to teleport to inside my house.

LOL OMG you just reminded me of something that happened at a rodeo in Georgia. I was back with my boyfriend at the time and he was getting ready to get on his 3rd bull for the night.... Well I was the "chosen" one and was 'tieing' him in and the bull decided to jump up and sideways. Not only did he get me with his hoof, but he sent spit and slobber flying all over me ...

Needless to say, I never 'tied' the boyfriend in again. EVER. Not that I was scared of the bulls (I wasn't) I threw up for hours after that cause the flying spittle went all over my face. To this day I gag when I think about it.

bar fly

noun
a drinker who frequents bars

I'm only able to tell you that term is because I watched Mickey Rourke in The Bar Fly. It was a good movie. As for being a bar fly, I never really did much of that because it would not be conducive to a healthy married life considering my husband can't stand bars or clubs. On more than a few occasions some big drunk redneck would think I'm the one. I have been told it's because of how I speak my mind, and for some weird damnedable reason it's like a mating call for huge rednecks... "Hey Billy I like that unnn, she told me to get the hell out of her way, she's got bigguns and she's spunky".

I guess that always provided my husband with plenty of incentive to not take me bar hopping.
I had three brothers, I can take care of myself if I have to but why put myself in that situation. lol

But ya know Mama, you were the one that brought up head butting and cud rubbing. You set yourself up for it! You know it!
