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.)
It has a hat on.
I fed the catz, let them out, let them in, let them out again, cleaned the box, cleaned up a spew, and let them in again. And put the blinds up for Sunbeam.
They’re still not happy with me. They remind me of the rest of my family.
Well, we are your FR family, and I’m sure that we UTers are happy with you. You’re a great lady.
Thank you! My UT family are a great blessing.
It’s only about 5:00 in Las Vegas, but maybe I’ll hear from ‘Face in a couple of hours regarding medical plans for the day.

Oh, I see, thanks. I’m rather out of touch sometimes.
Entropy is high. Wear a hat!
Excellent advice, even for cats.
‘Face thanks everyone for their prayers and kind words. Her internet connection on her phone is iffy, so she might not be able to respond, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t appreciate you all.
Dang girl... Don’t scare us like that...
Morphine? They aren’t messing around, are they.
*hugs*
Unsettling.
Morphine? Remind me that I have a YouTube link to share with you when you’re chipper and working pit crews.
I didn’t realize he had a name. “Tardar”?
Tardar Sauce. Grumpy cat is technically owned by Tabatha Bundesen’s 11/12-year old daughter, Tabitha, who named the cat and misspelled ‘Tartar.’
