America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.
Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)
Ever had chocolate dipped bacon?
I’m up. I had some chest pains during the night again, which woke me up, but then I got a sinus headache and had nothing to take for it. Ungggh!
The new aide will be here today, (sounds like Ground Hog Day) and I just want to go back to bed. I’m very tired this morning.
Ever had chocolate dipped bacon?You can coat it in caramel as well. Combine the two techniques for an interesting candy bar. Best to make the caramel separately and just pour it around the cooked bacon. Might fold rice krispies into the caramel to make the whole thing low calorie.

Rice Krispies? Good tip!
My 3-D printer is in town!!!!
YAY!!!!
I’ve been baking and making candy in my dotage. Pretty much mastered bread, bagels & donuts and am working on croissants. It’s a most worthy use of my time.
It arrived at my local PO 50 minutes ago, hope it makes today’s delivery!
(not that I’m antsy or anything)...
It probably won’t be there until tomorrow. You’ll have to tell me all about it when it gets there!
Evil, ‘Face, evil...
Nope. It’s on my bucket list. As is kissing Alyson Hannigan.
Back from shopping with Anoreth. I got a blouse and a pair of shoes.
I helped her pick out clothes for a wedding she’s attending this summer. Dressy, but not overly so, and a summer style, but not tropical. She doesn’t do tropical.
Alyson Hannigan is 40.
Alyson Hannigan is 40, married, and has children and a restraining order on a stalker who threatened to kill her.
When you make the caramel, do you make candy or a pourable (sp) sauce? Have you ever tried making nougat? See’s used to make a rum-raisin-cherry nougat (I like the milk chocolate covered, but others think the dark is a better backdrop for the nougat.) It’s very humid here, so I’ve been afraid to try to make candy.
Scoutmaster only wants to kiss her. I respect him for being attracted to a woman of mature years.
Haha! You can immediately determine the socially aware individuals as opposed to the “chunky” individual by the preoccupations. SYL
Aide just left. She is quite nice and personable, and seems to be caring. Good. She also said she had had problems with the company as far as notifying the client of a change in aides. Why am I not surprised?
I would love to have bought something in the way of a “new” skirt and blouse, and saw some really cute shoes that would have been perfect for Easter while I was at the thrift store yesterday. It’s so fun to shop there!
It’s time to dig out my summer clothes. The temperature will be 91 today! YAY!!!
I’m often the bearer of reality checks. ;o]
Deal with it! </sarc
That, and I have my spousal unit's permission to kiss both Ms. Hannigan and Ms. Peters (and a few others). She has my permission with respect to Tom Selleck and a few others.
