Do these people realize what such behavior does to their credit ratings?
helped reduce playground squabbles.
Yeah, I believe that too. Sure I do (rolling eyes) As long as there’s kids, there’s going to be playground squabbles.
Is it too late to sue?? Because my childhood friend Linda always ran a lot faster than I did and she was way shorter. Not fair!
And I lost at tag in fourth grade. I’ve never forgotten. sob. It’s ruined my life.
Where the hell am I????
How long have I been asleep????
Good Lord!

SPARTANBURG, SC—The U.N. is condemning the actions of Spartanburg fifth-grader Joshua Fife, who on Monday violated the terms of the 1949 Geneva Convention by using classmate Doug Wiersbicki as a human shield during a gym-class dodgeball game. "The terms of civilian protection, as outlined in the Geneva Convention, were clearly violated by Fife's placement of Wiersbicki in the direct line of heavy dodgeball fire," U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said. "Whether in Kosovo or Mr. Brundage's gym class, the use of innocents as human shields must not be tolerated."

I’m glad I’m not in grade school anymore. They’re slowly taking all the fun out of being a kid! I hate to see what it will be like in a few more years if things go on as they are.
I keep getting stuck on this. PLAYground. PLAYground. PLAY.
Hmphf.
that’s because libhippydem californians have realised how badly they’ve screwed up cali and don’t want to live there, so they migrate to CO
A sad situation that is happening in other areas as well. They make where they live unlivable then move and start the process all over again.
