Text of the page (random words):
cow look at the time i will give this same final exam to a group of students at a regional campus and i d bet money if i had any that every single student will be there pencil sharpened alert and ready to take that test most of the main campus students are just out of high school and most of the regional students are older have work ethics changed much darn right they have and not for the better either sigh dear helicopter parents of college students your kid is raised stop raising him if he s still an immature weenie let life hand him her some consequences it s about time somebody did love professor meanjane p s your kid is nineteen years old and still can t remember to bring a pencil to school and no he can t borrow mine suck it up if he wants a grade on a test he can go down to the bookstore and invest in a two dollar collegiate licensed pencil yes they are too expensive and yes it s ridiculous at target he can get a whole package for a dollar but then he d have to remember to bring one to class you are not allowing your kid to grow up and he doesn t have what it takes to do so himself this is your fault back off let him struggle and fail and then perhaps he will struggle and succeed no this is not being cruel cruelty is keeping your kid a kid too long and doing all the work for him step back and don t give in when he comes crying to you about how hard life is this is one of many reasons why i am a firm believer in mixed age classes at this level i ll have students from 17 to 80 in one room and each has something invaluable to give to the other the best thing of all we don t really have many discipline problems and if we do the student is escorted out of the building immediately as such students should be at all levels so our nice hardworking kids might be able to climb higher and see farther and accomplish much more without being constantly albatrossed by discipline problems that are allowed to get worse each year by spineless administrators and parents who can t see beyond their own child remember helen keller who had to be removed from her doting parents home in order to be educated properly because her parents were so sorry for her that they gave in to her every whim and turned her into a smelly obnoxious beast who demanded her own way and got it in every situation poor little helen let her have it she s been denied so much annie sullivan however knew better why can t modern parents and administrators see it after this week the summer session will be over and i ll have two weeks of vacation before the very busy fall semester begins i ve peeked at the rosters and all of my classes so far are big of course big at the college level means between 18 and 22 whereas big in the public school meant over 40 and yes i had several 8th grade classes of over 40 where kids had to sit on the floor and lean against the wall because no more desks could be crammed into the room now if the class grows too big they lock the door and say sorry try again next year much better i am a firm believer in playing my best with the hand i m dealt but that only works when there are 52 cards to be dealt add just a few more and the rules are changed and it becomes a different game my roses are blooming and the petunias are beautiful and my upside down tomatoes are doing well the gerbera daisies are putting out new blooms and the salvia is purple and pretty come on over and smoke smell them five years ago my life did a complete turnaround and i wasn t sure if i would ever be able to adjust to it now i m happier than i ve ever been in my life and i know i am right where i am supposed to be i know who my friends are and who they aren t and even though the blow was undeserved and terribly unfair i m glad now because i know that god led me through it and guided me straight to where i am now i wonder if we have any orange juice i still miss that blogher orange juice and pretty much everything else about blogher for that matter life is good dig it and when life isn t good dig it anyway if you keep digging you ll strike gold eventually oh and bring a pencil to class on test day them nasty ol professors will show you no mercy they can t because they have no hearts nope they have no heart and they never fart that s why they re so mean all the time mamacita scheiss weekly posted by mamacita the real one 1 57 am saturday july 26 2008 quotation saturday coming home was both a downer and a relief does traveling affect anybody else like that as i was changing the sheets and then mowing the lawn today i was thinking things like i love to make my home lovely and good smelling inside and out whilst simultaneously thinking things like if i lived in that hotel i d never have to mow the lawn someone else would change and wash the sheets and i d get to sleep with monty every night because of course in my fantasy world blogher is still going on and will never stop as are many other things in my many fantasy worlds but now it s quotation saturday and i do love me some wise and pithy quotations 1 it is not the shilling i give you that counts but the warmth that it carries with it from my hand

full of people and approach someone i always assume that nobody would care to associate with a boring person like me my panel went well thanks to shireen marilyn and monty i knew that even if i flopped they would carry on without me they were so good at blogher people spoke to me people sat with me people listened to me holy cow i felt like somebody there was it the other side of the continent atmosphere had i changed when i got off the plane are blogher people just nicer than other people all of the above possibly that last one hanging out with monty and fausta and kimberle did wonders for me too they are all three of them so very outstandingly wonderful we traversed chinatown and ate sushi and oysters and drank sake and took pictures of each other with dragons and in front of shop windows containing duck feet and beheaded waterfowl of various sorts and tackled the crowds and the disco lights at ruby skye and dodged all the saving grace misc except for that one gigantic poster which we posed in front of and pretended we were part of it was a marvelous lot of fun i would kill to have kim s hair it s just simply gorgeous food there was food everywhere i turned at blogher i will have to say that the box lunches were not all that novelty that they were and for people on low carb diets they were a disaster bread bread more bread and pasta they were all gone by the time i got to lunch on friday but as i m too fat anyway it wasn t a big deal as for breakfast for once in my life i had all the orange juice i wanted it was just so delicious and so cold i do love me some ice cold and i mean ice cold orange juice room temp can t drink it blogher orange juice was perfect i couldn t eat the doughnuts etc because i m diabetic but i got by besides we were accosted the good kind by hors d oeuvres and wine everywhere we went and the bottled water and diet pepsi were abundant my ability to make a hardship out of the simplest things reared its ugly head at sunday lunch when i bit into my really delicious sandwich and speared my lower lip with a concealed toothpick seriously it went all the way through my lower lip and out again it still throbs but now it s just funny who but me i didn t know whether to just sit there and laugh at myself through the shock and tears or run back to chinatown and buy a lip ring i mean the piercing was already there and all it s still there how do you put medicine on the inside of your lip i m hoping the saliva will fix it because i don t have any other options i m sure it will be fine don t panic westin st francis i m not one of those people who sue i m a nice person but after this i ll be feeling up all my sandwiches before i plunge into them with my body parts so to speak i learned so much over that weekend that i m really kind of disoriented sitting here and trying to remember it all in ways that can be translated to the written page i know for a fact that my brain had to have grown a new section to store it all one thing i m very happy about so many websites and conferences and literature and whatnot that welcome women of how shall i put this a certain age are very condescending even when they don t realize it yes i m over the hill forty a lot over but i am not remotely interested in a website or conference that talks to me of depends and aarp and declining vision and alzheimer s and ensure and velcro fasteners for my housedress and cell phones with one big button and ways to entertain the grandchildren and big band music and recipes for soft foods and electric grocery cart wheelchairs and great denture adhesives i m interested in writing and electronics and social media and marketing and books and makeup and purses and hanging out with friends and laughing out loud and eating in funky restaurants and navigating around chinatown and computers all about computers blogher did so many things just exactly right and one of them ...
