  I have to brag about my kid.

  so we got fed up with all of our educational opportunities for him.

  the public school couldn't do its job, and we fought all last year with the administration of the private school because their dress code was stupid.

  (i came very close to telling the vice principal that one solution to the problem would be for her to take the stick out of her ass).. so this fall we sent him to ged classes.

  Tell us more about the dress code in that private school ?
  Was it a religious school ?
  We took our kid out of public school two years ago and put him in a......... Catholic School !
  He's getting a wonderful education there. In the public school he was in, nobody cared, mistakes were not corrected, practically no homework, close enough was good enough, horrible math program...
  Dress code : Dark blue, grey or black pants, white or light blue shirts or polo-shirts, no ties... easy dress code. No problem.

  A Tale Of 2 Witties, Part 1.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some years back i moved into a new house on a new estate, quite near to where my mother lives, and even closer to where radar lives now.. we were one of the first to move in, and, after several weeks, our first neighbours began to arrive.

  they were a family comprising husband, wife, 1 son and 3 daughters.

  we exchanged greetings and each family showed the other around our new houses which were of the linked to each other design.. a week or so later, i noticed my mother pulling up outside in her car, but, instead of coming to my home she got into a long conversation with my new neighbour who was tending to his front garden.

  I took mys son and my hubby to see the movie last night.
  We all read the four books, and were a little disappointed.
  It was ok, but every scene was "cut short" somehow...
  Still, I love Harry Potter.
  I don't understand why anyone would find the story "bad" for kids.
  On the contrary, it's all about friendships, getting along, make the right choices, helping....

  ..........Witnesses believe that we are living now, since 1944, in the last days of this wicked system of things. Lovers of righteousness will survive into a cleansed earth.......

  Is 1944 a typo ? Should it read 1914 ?
  If it's not a typo, why 1944 ???

  Bwaahhahahahhhaaaa....
  Very funny.
  Their teaching about the 144,000 and the "remnant" is one of the funniest of all, I think, or is it the saddest ?

  A big drop in "publishers" ?
  Heck, there are only around 6000 people on St Pierre et Miquelon... And they all come from France... (Catholics) How many can have become JWs ?
  2 or 3, all in one family ?

  Please, is it the night of saturday to sunday or the night of sunday to monday ?
  I thought it was last week-end, and with my kid, we put a blanket in the yard, a big quilt to cover us and watched, from 9.30 to about 10.30 at night, and amazingly enough, we saw at least a dozen "shooting stars".

  I love Beaujolais Nouveau...
  We can find it here in the States too in some grocery stores.
  I usually buy one bottle.
  I'll have to look for it next time I go shopping.

  Charles ! one bottle per person !!! No way. One glass with
  dinner.
