at work tonight someone came in with a t-shirt that read in large, bold print on the back of his shirt, "muslims suck!
" as the manager on duty i had the enjoyable task of approaching this very reasonable (tongue in cheek) fellow and explaining to him that our policy did not allow for such t-shirts and he would, therefore, have to either turn it inside out so it couldn't be read or he would be asked to leave.
his reply, "you're a f***ing muslim loving b***h!".
He probably went home and enjoyed his hot pockets, then navigated his way through his trailer and collapsed in his bed full of beer bottles.
Possibly... but the highway patrol officer who finally escorted him out was being called many colorful names as well... so there's also the chance that he spent the night in jail for trespassing or even, from the idiotic behavior I saw, assault of a police officer. Jackie

Needless to say, I had him forcibly removed and he came quite near to getting himself arrested. Good times.
So... just one more fun name to add to the list of things I've been called.
What fun things have you been called?

a lot of us grew up as jehovah's witnesses.
we had no choice.
our parents made the choice for us.
Mostly I just need him to know that I love him and will *always* be there for him, whatever he believes or doesn't believe.

My nephew is three, so right now it's not really anything I tell him. I try to encourage things that will, hopefully, in the future, promote learning and thinking. Right now he is big into dinosaurs and bugs. I buy him all kinds of dinosaur toys and *books* with *facts* that will, maybe, one day make him question silly doctrine that doesn't fit with it. I also just bought him a really cool ant farm that he loves to watch with gel that they burrow through so you can see all the tunnels and such.
When he's older it become harder. What do I say when he's 8 or 9 and he asks why I don't believe in Jehovah, or go to the meetings, or why I celebrate the holidays, or whatever it is he asks? He is still his parents son at that age and I wouldn't want his parents to feel like I was trying to pry him away from their beliefs because then I lose contact with him and if he ever wants out later in his life he has no lifeline. But I also don't want to hide or lie. It's going to be a difficult tightrope to walk.
I think a lot depends upon the age, the maturity, the relationship, the timing, how rigid his parents are... there are just so many factors. I don't think there's any one specific answer.

this morning a local radio show was discussing zero tolerance and bringing to light some of the crazy stories we've seen in the news lately.
i didn't catch where this happened but a kid was suspended for hugging a friend who had just lost a loved one.
the school had a no physical contact rule.. in birmingham, alabam, a girl was sent to alternative school for taking a midol.. did some reading on the web about it this morning.
a kid was suspended for hugging a friend who had just lost a loved one
See, I couldn't have kids because if my kid came home and told me they got suspended for showing the human compassion of comforting someone who lost a loved one I would absolutely lose my mind with the school board. I can't even say for certain I wouldn't start a riot if it was one of my nieces or nephews. Absolutely ridiculous.

.
would you rather take a shower, or a bath?
i prefere showers with water hot as i can stand and i don't mean in scrub up, rinse, out....linger uneder the water is so relaxing...what about you..?.
Well, I'm just weird. I point the showerhead at the foot of the tub, plug it, and lay in the tub with a book while it fills and even leave the shower running after it fills as it drains down the overflow drain for as long as I want to soak and read. When I've had my fill of that I will put the book down, unplug the drain, readjust the showerhead and take a shower. So both, I suppose.
If I'm going to start with a bath, why not just fill the tub like a normal person and switch to the shower when I'm ready, you ask? I like the steam.

take the test and see .
i remember in high school, i was able to type at 40 words per minute after counting my errors, and they way they counted it, if i remember well, was your total words minus the errors you made to give an approximate speed.. here is the test.
it's only a fun quiz so don't be mad if i type faster than you .
61 wpm 95% accuracy.
