Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

[xsmommy]

[NeoCaveman]

He's not 100% right, but the MADD and gun control observations are right on....

[Gabz]

LOL!!!!

I figure I best attend the open house up here - just incase my change request is rejected.

[Laura Earl]

You are a news junkie too!

Check out the story I just posted from our local paper. It calls teachers salaries "low" and says they start out at an average of over $43k/year for about 50 hours a week of work. That's over $10k/y more than the hubby gets at his job and he works more hours. I'm so sick of their whining. The diversity whining is annoying as well.

[xsmommy]

i would not disagree. the problem is, as a woman, i am tarred with the same brush, when all i have in common with them is gender. not fair.

[honeygrl]

That guy needs a good kick in the nads.

[xsmommy]

don't get me started on pub school teachers (Catholic school teachers are an entirely different story). they make decent $ AND they have the summer off to take other jobs, tutoring etc. They claim to be professional but then b!tch about having to grade papers, take work home etc. TOUGH! all professionals do work at home beyond the work day. Don't ask to be treated as a professional if you want to punch a time clock and be paid overtime.

[NeoCaveman]

That's the shame when talking about averages, there are always outliers.

[Gabz]

I think I just did!!!!!!!!

[xsmommy]

does this mean i am a fruit in a woman's body? or doesn't that translate the same way ; ) ?

[Gabz]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
