Teacher, I have a list of all the pupils who misbehaved while you were out of the classroom. Also, I think it incumbent upon me to point out that you forget to assign homework for tonight.
To: hobbes1
Holcombe Eh? What say you about that ? It's a gutsy move. Seeing as our defense can't stop anything...we'll need the extra offense that he adds to the team.
Short-term it's a good call, long term it could blow up in our faces.

Exactly. It was pretty much a speed bump in the bigger scheme of things, and should be all talked out by now.
Except for one thing.
The Public utilites should start including a form on the bill, requiring customers to check off boxes, acquiescing to the building new/upgrading existing facilities. This way the next time it happens, the NIMBY crowd can wait to get their power last.....

will you golf? xsboy passed whatever his test was to play on the actual course. there will be a tournament this week and then the parent-child tournament is on Sat. the hyper competitive xsboy and xshub will be at each other's throats over whose fault it is, if they don't at least place.

Hey Agnes, xsmommy is the designated teacher's pet in this classroom and this kind of brown-nosing will only get you a big old-fashioned country @$$-whoopin' (from xs). And in case you hadn't noticed, she did request that I post a PMS Alert this morning.
