For that matter, my son went to private school (it suited him better), and I still paid my school taxes. School taxes aren't for my child per se. They're for children, and an educated population. Just because it hurts me doesn't make something wrong. Wendy W. I'm not saying it's wrong to help or want to help; I pay tax dollars that go to our school district, as well as others, and I don't even have children. What is wrong is to take so much that the school district that was once affluent and nationally renowned for how great their schools were no longer have good teachers or good school books. I watch the children my 14 year old sister goes to school with suffer because the teachers that our school district can afford now couldn't care two licks about the students and refuse to be there for tutoring before and after school. They tell the kids to go home and get the help. They only teach minimally in class, and then pile on projects that are more busywork than learning material. So, honestly, I have no problem with helping; I have a problem with "redistributing the wealth" because that comes very close to socialism in my mind. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Do you have a idea to help with the problem of a mass of less-educated people (who therefore require more resources) besides "screw them?" or "they should have been born rich?" or "not my problem?" But acknowledging that I've had advantages others haven't, and helping to give people who haven't had similar advantages opportunities to exploit themselves is only realistic. Wendy W. Wendy, living in TX you should know all about the Robin Hood plan (take from the more affluent school districts and give to the less affluent). Just because we don't want to "screw" the less fortunate financially, does that mean it's okay to "screw" the more affluent in regards to education, just so that we even the score? ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

OK, so you're ok with teaching kids in a warehouse. No problem there. You're misreading the statement, I think. I don't think he's saying he would choose the warehouse over the palace; he's saying that if there is a better education available in a warehouse, that is obviously the better option. Try to see another point of view, whether you agree with it or not, and the statements someone makes will come across more clearly. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

A friend taught me that a more useful thing to do is learn a language that few people in the area know. That way, the two of you can talk about whatever you want, and no one will have any idea what you are saying to each other. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Sounds like fun to me. Do I get a shower? I'd return the favor... or would you rather we painted each other's nails? j/k...i know you better than to ask that! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Sounds like fun to me. Do I get a shower? I'd return the favor... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

agreed...this goes back to shorthand...of course, it's really cool if you know shorthand AND can type fast but it IS different! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Wow, ur getting awfully dramatic! If I get a papercut, I consider it an injury!!! Jeez, jump all over me! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Besides it needs to breathe and exercise is always good. I think this typing here is a good workout. It's been breathing because you wouldn't wrap it up before! And exercise is only good when it's building strength; when you have an injury like yours, it's going to just weaken it more. What is it with men and injuries? Don't they know that women know what's best for them? Listen to me, damn it! (I'm really not mad at you, hon. Just trying to take care of you!!!) ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Did you wrap up your hand like I told you to? I'm thinking that you didn't, or you wouldn't be typing more than 15 wpm...or even typing at all! You need to behave! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

When I graduated, it was 84 wpm with no errors, but that was straight out of typing school. I quit practicing for awhile, but my job is much easier with speed-typing, so I've gotten back into practice, and I'm back up to 73 wpm with 1 error, according to the test. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Are you suggesting that perhaps that is how they get the jobs to begin with, is by using their "assets"? ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I know I'm pretty shallow. I like the guy to have a good job, but if he doesn't, then he at least has to be well-endowed! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

blonde, rebellious, and horny maybe??? Ask my SO, he could probably tell you better than me!!! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

That's a really good comparison; and "cutting away" the malfunctioning relationship can save our lives as well. Sometimes, too, it's good to "pull the reserve" and have a little fling--on the rebound. It helps our self esteem. You just gotta know when it's right and when it's not. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I agree... However, I'm not sure there is such a thing as normal. Everyone is so different, how can you define normal. Do you pick the person who never does anything dangerous, exciting, or crazy; the person who goes to work, does an honest job for 8 hours a day, then comes home, eats dinner, watches the news, goes to bed, and gets up at the same time every day--is that considered normal? Because in that case, normal doesn't exist! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

If things really went that wrong, then I think trying to repair the relationship is not a good idea, because, depending on what went wrong, it could repeat itself, or perhaps there would be trust issues. I think moving on is a better idea, regardless of how hard that may be. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

For going to Cali? I think not! For leaving Texas? Probably. Hey, there's nothing wrong with Texas in general... However, Houston is not a place I want to live! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

For me, drugs are definitely a thing of the past (and I wish they were a thing of NEVER). I don't think there's a single drug that could equal (or enhance) the total euphoria of freefall for me. Far be it from me to deny anyone else; that's not my place. But I wouldn't want to know about it, and if they were crazy enough to do it before jumping and I found out about it...I would probably lose a lot of respect for them. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Something else to consider--where you put a tattoo. This should be a serious matter, just because, first of all, you never know when you'll want to be able to hide it (some places of employment frown on visible body art, and they suck but what can you do?), and second, because some places are just too damn painful to want to apply that sort of torture for any amount of time. I have one just below the waistline right on the tip of my spine, and that actually didn't hurt at all. I have another on my lower right stomach, sort of below the hipline, and that hurt like HELL! So, pick it carefully before you stick it! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

women are judged on their looks and sometimes their brains, and opportunities are offered accordingly... not necessarily fair, but that's the way it seems to me... Yes, this is a problem, especially since looks will be considered first. Being blonde, it's very hard to be taken seriously long enough to prove that I have any brains. I won't claim to be a genius, but I'm pretty smart and well rounded in my knowledge, so this is one disadvantage I see women having. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I think people in general find bad boys (and girls) exciting and/or intriguing, at least for a while. Of course I like bad boys...that's a typical fantasy of all girls. But skydivers take that fantasy and throw it out the window. Or at least one does. But remember, even a lot of bad boys have a sensitive side that no one is allowed to see so they can keep up their image for society, where a bad girl can break down every once in awhile, and it's okay because she's a girl. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Just remember to stretch before hand, you don't want to pull something...unless you're alone, then maybe you do... Sounds like a male thing...I can't think of anything I'd want to PULL, even when I was alone... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Yes, I've heard that one before, and it's one of my favorites!!! Thanks for the reminder. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Is that what they're calling it these days?? Acrobatics...they make bedtime interesting! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
