It annoys me when a dunderhead student tells me I made a mistake when I didn’t. No wonder they are indeed, dunderheads.
DD had a breakthrough today on a big personal challenge. Feeling hopeful!
Really… did the first election I’m able to vote in, and THESE are the options? Everyone is so up in arms and it’s so frustrating…
OMG, I’m so nervous. I think this is the right thing to do, but I hope I can make it work. It’s a lot of money and commitment, and people are counting on me. Cross the fingers, sign the lease, and start ordering new stationery…
…and there’s the proof not everyone In this country understands or is even aquainted with what a “hostile environment” is for a protected class in a workplace or in a school that takes Federal funds. Stone Age.
Here’s how it works. You can have phone calls and visits from your nieces/grandchildren, or you can give them a hard time about wanting more phone calls and visits after ALLLLL you’ve done for them and by the way their politics are wrong and they’ve gotten uppity too. You can’t have both, as experience has shown.
And this sort of thing is why she made the choice she did. It’s like people have time-traveled here from the 50’s.
I’m glad your iPhone is broken. Especially the week before finals. You’re a different person without it attached to your hand. A better person.
Note to self
Don’t get jealous because boyfriend is visiting with family and can’t talk to me very much. That’s immature and stupid.

So I know this is a little different for this thread, but I wanted to share something positive that has come out of our family’s journey with mental illness, and there’s a connection to CC!
My 18-year-old daughter and I have been speaking for NAMI at various places - mainly colleges and mental health agencies. I’m in a FB group with lots of parents who had HS grads in 2010, and I’ve shared with them about our speaking. One of those members suggested we submit a proposal to speak at the NAMI Texas conference in the fall. We did, and the proposal was accepted!! So my daughter and I will have 75 minutes to share our story and hopefully give some good advice to mental health professionals and people like us. It also is a sneaky way for me to get to see my daughter halfway through her first semester in college! 
Would you say that out loud in front of a group of people, or does the anonymity of the Internet give you the incentive? The ignorance and stereotypes you attribute to others is showing in your own comments. You may want to tuck that in.
So many kids, especially girls want to go into engineering when they only have AB or Pre-cal in high school. Compared to other kids who excel in math throughout the years, they will be in a huge disadvantage and might not follow through with their career choice.
I have officially begun a two year plan to escape the hell of this farce of a marriage. New career will enable an all new life. I only hope our kids understand because I don’t want to show them documentation of my reasons for leaving.
Your mother must be so proud that you have such a low opinion of women.
This is going to be even harder than I anticipated. But I will persevere.
“Please don’t tell anyone” means Please don’t tell ANYONE.
I’m always surprised and disappointted when a person I had admired chooses to be mean/nasty. Oh well. And so it goes…
OFFS. Stop the world. I want to get off.
I hope to stop myself from making any snarky, mean-sprited comment there. I should write my thoughts on paper and burn them before I speak them to people who would not understand, and could not respond in any meaningful way if they did. (Serenity prayer, now!) And let’s hope I don’t make a rude gesture instead. Even if it would feel good.
