We're all getting ready for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, however we all personally plan to celebrate. I thought that some breakfast burritos and tequila shots (optional, of course) would help to get us in the mood.

*sets out hot burrito buffet, with all sorts of breakfast meats, eggs, and salsas, and several varieties of tortillas for people to choose from*

Y'all enjoy.

*puts on a pot of The Good Stuff and makes himself a sausage and egg burrito with fresh chunky salsa on a wheat tortilla*

While we don't celebrate a Mexican holiday down
here, tomorrow happens to be the Nimbin Mardi-Grass, a festival of the Weed. Apart from the Legalise Cannabis march, there's the Mardi-Grass Olympics, which has such events as joint rolling and bong throwing.

But that's all up over at Nimbin, on the northern/central coast of NSW.

Tomorrow is also World Free Comic Book day, yay for free comix.

Hey All,

*grabs burrito for lunch*

no Mexican holidays over here in blighty but because of the way the month fell the May bank holiday is this coming Monday so three day weekend, looks like I'll be spending at least one day doing the traditional DIY but probably will spend the rest helping/staying out the way of my other half as she finishes up her dissertation.

oh to be able to afford pane tickets, have an ex work colleague near Perth I could probably steal a floor for a couple of nights and do a bit of travelling.

Of course my beautiful other half can't cope with the heat so possibly not a good idea and Aus is a country with something like 7 of the 10 most poisonous land snakes coupled with a venomous spider that lives under toilet seats! Hmmm, maybe I'll stay in my bunk

The spiders lurking under toilet seats is a false urban myth.
The really venomous spiders and snakes in general... are not.

GEE

Friday, May 4, 2007 1:54 PM

But I had a species and everything...

I hate spiders but in a desire to turn this into fasination rather than phobia my research proved me to be wrong, the red-back does live in proximity to humans and likes dark place but no mention of toilet seats (probably only a problem in outside facilities!).

PHOENIXROSE

Friday, May 4, 2007 2:13 PM

Yeah, the redback sometimes turns up in outdoor toilets (usually on the seat rather than under it, I think). Snopes mentions that in their article about toilet-lurking spiders.

It's not like they say "plumber arrested for having sex with employee...film at 11" but if it's a teacher or a religious leader... bam that's all everyone can say " teacher arrested for sex ring" Not once have I ever heard the headline " reporter arrested for sex or drug scandal" I mean it's good the evil teacher got caught, but couldn't you just say Margaret Smith arrested today for sex ring instead of Teacher arrested today for sex ring???

Forgive me if this isn't explained very well but her disertation is on the use of non-verbal communication support in langauage aquisition in mainstream schools. To summarise, she is doing a degree in early years education but she's a qualified nursery nurse whose done a lot of work in special needs school so she got interested in using the extra communication methods such as makaton (which is like sign language but is always signed with speech) when she is in a mainstream class reasoning if it helps those with special needs it might help mainstream children and help with inclusiveness.

Ah. That's actually interesting. I wonder what effect it has on the kids' communication skills. Are the hearing students left with a complete inability to control their expressive hand gestures? It'd be ~really~ interesting if they picked up on the language and started signing back. I know hearing kids born to deaf parents do that.

MSG - think about the other roles that get mentioned by job title in such matters: "Rock Star in Sex Scandal!" "Pop Star in Sex Scandle" "Hollywood Actress in Sex Scandal!" "Supreme Court Judge in Sex Scandal!" doesn't seem like bad company

Yes, I agree, but it sounds loads better than my usual cup of oatmeal.

One of my high school teachers was recently picked up for a sex related charge. What irks me is it is 2 years later, and the student in question was 18 when things happened. I am not sure what kind of paperwork you sign when you sign up to be a teacher, and I will agree that it is highly unethical, unorthodox, creepy, and concerning, but how does it translate into a criminal offense? I ask not out of anger but out of a genuine desire to know.

It falls under the same blanket as doctor-patient, employer-employee, therapist (or as Benny Hill spelt it: the rapist)-client; those in a "power position" have an additional legal onus upon them, because of the ease with which they can do their unethical deeds. The lesser empowered have need of the protection from those who can exert undue influence over them and exact undue consequences on them.

Ironically, in a Georgia case the teacher married the kid and was able to bypass the law (the kid was 13 at the time. So MsG in your example, which came first, the chicken or the egg?

But it looks like your avatar! Not saying it's you - we've seen pics of you and you're much prettier, but it's like they did a license based on your avatar!

Let me know if you hate it and I'll edit my post to delete it. Don't wanna upset you!

I frequently have just as much fur on my face and the amount of gray is pretty close too. I cannot believe that is it based on my avatar.

You cannot delete my quote of your post. The only way to make up for this grave offence is to post a pic of yerself. Period. End of subject. If the Prettiness thing bothers you much PM me so all the world don't have to see. I promise before Joss and these here Browncoats I will not publish said photo.

Nope! Too late! I'm leaving and I had to delete it! See, this is what happens when I try to be funny...

Just thinking I should add here that I'm not leaving cuz of you. I'm leaving cuz time has run out for today. Actually for the weekend more than likely. Bye all! See ya soon!

Oh, and I can't delete your quote of my post, but YOU CAN!!! Plus I'd take it as a kidness if you could since that's the post I had to edit a second time because a) I was linking something linked in another thread instead of linking to the thread and b) I realised I'd forgotten that all important word "anti" and so had accidentally posted a message asking everyone to be sure they had infected their computers with the latest viruses.

Tomorrow is National Homebrewers Day, so support your local (or battalion, or FFF Yeti) brewers (with gifts of money and/or sex) if you know any. If not, might be a good day to meet some.

I'd be just as happy to put a "face to a name".

But then, nobody has seen a recent image of me. Maybe I'll just appear Jesus-like on your next toast.

Funny you should mention that. I have a whole file devoted to such sightings. They are much easier to come by than Elvis for some strange reason. Or Dale, Sr. So, indeed sir, I shall keep a wary eye out for your likeness. And now to your Frankenspawn.

RIMG, Teach a man to type and he'll drown in p0rn; give a man a Tag and he'll post tricky for life! I do like you friend but DTH is right: I don't fuck for beer. That said I shall be bringing along the closest thing to homebrew I have: Vernor's!

DTH, though you are probably gone by now, I shall NOT delete the posting: you owe me a pic! But I will edit to add the "anti". Or is it up the "ante"? Whichever. My mailbox awaits.

Bad damn night.

But I've put my downtime at work to good use. Okay, maybe not, but I was asked to organize my cat bucket with just the pics I had captioned in a seperate album. So, if anyone other than my mom is interested in such an album, it is here: http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u179/funnycatmacros/exclusive/

In the meantime, I would like to go break things.

Hope that makes sense, I think I am going to be an expert once I have done proof reading on Monday so ask me to explain then!

Hey Gee - it makes perfect sense to me - I am a qualified nanny with just one unit less than a nursery nurse and I, too, have an interest in kids with special needs - I used to volunteer and do emergency relief work in a school for intellectually disabled kids and used maketon lots and I do tend to use it automatically when I am struggling to get my point across to very intellectual able kids to this day!! They know not to push me any further when I am using Maketon out of frustration!! Wish your girlfriend all the best for me - I wouldn't mind reading it too if it's ever published on the 'net!!

PR
Hormonal swings and a possible sinus infection (or really bad pollen problem) had a lot to do with it. Basically I started out the morning at work dropping things and forgetful, then couldn't do anything right and got spoken to by one of our NPs like I was a child or an idiot (she can be a bit of a bitch...), which upset me, then had something else go wrong, did not put 2 and 2 together and had a patient get undressed for the annual she was scheduled for instead of the blood pressure check she needed, had the other clinician there (who is usually quite pleasant) basically ask me where I'd left my brain on that one, wound up in tears *WHICH I NEVER DO* and couldn't figure out why I was such a nutter. Then I realized I'm about two days out from the end of my cycle.

Plus it was a warm sunny day and I really wanted to play hooky but can't.

It just kind of sucked all day at work, but it got a little better after lunch. Somebody had brought in lemon meringue pie (store bought hallucinogenic yellow crap!), so I ate two small pieces. Plus some of the cake.
Still needed chocolate and didn't get it.
Hey, nobody died. I just couldn't stop dropping things, blood pressures kept coming back wierd, all the problems seem to come in on a Friday. I had to figure out how to do paperwork for a male client who wasn't having an actual visit that would have gone on the male visit sheet. (We don't get men in, like, EVER.. unless they're getting treated for whatever they gave their girlfriends who are our patients and they come in together). Just a generally wierd and frustrating day and I was not feeling up to snuff.

Hubby did not get around to making the phone call to rent a moving van, so we're another week away from getting the house on the market. He was busy, but I'm just getting very frustrated with how fast the weekends go by and we don't seem to be getting noticeably closer to finished.

Working hard here, there, and over there, and not seeming be getting much done anywhere just upsets me.

We're borrowing father's pickup today to try moving more s**t. Gonna toss the old fridge too!

I just want it to be done so we don't have the other house hanging over our heads, we can focus on the one we're living in, and I want to spend some nice weather with my family having fun for a change.

I am just *waaaaaay* too demanding, aren't I?

Hug attacks poor SRose!! You deserve so much better sweetie - I know how it all seems to happen at once - try 6 deaths either in your extended family or in the immediate family of several close friend in as many weeks and a dose of 'broken heart' add in a manical employer who seems to find fault with everything you do and an awesome wedding where you drank most of the champagne on offer and danced with large amounts of black bra showing to your minister and several of the Elders from your church (oh - OK I just threw that in to make you realise how wicked I can be...) and you get an idea of what I am feeling - so I totally sympathise...

P.S. One friend's 22 year old brother committed suicide and nother 23 year old friend's mother died of post op complications following a hystorectomy... it has not been an easy few weeks...

Things are looking up though - and that which does not kill us makes us stronger!

Sending hugs and good vibes your way Honey!
