Dear Waves,

Dear Mari

glad you like them. i love both these songs. i remember listening to She's a Rainbow when i was a kid - my dad had the record.

that song came to mind for how i felt (mood) the few days before getting sick. i was like really getting into color coordination and swooshy things... with a cheeky exciting sort of feeling. but wonderful. palpable. edible. definitely alive.

WatchTower got itself stuck in my head at some point when i was sick of having racing thoughts.... there must be some kinda way outta here............. there's too much confusion... oh so true.

of course at the times mentioned i forgot to post... just remembered last night... something else reminded me of the rainbow and that reminded me of the other. rofl.

Hi,
We are getting brand new administrators at work next month.
This song seems fitting for my work situation.

Waves,

Benzos and lithium. For the woman, birth control to save us from the next generation.

I am in process of responding to my HR file. It is not fun.
The file is shorter than it might be because after our confrontation I have rarely had to deal w/ her directly.
I was 100% aware then that the problem happened because I had 3 hours of sleep. In a different set of circumstance, I MIGHT have been been more quick thinking.



Is there any chance you can tone things down a little? Is it possible to back off so that neither one of you has a bad taste in your mouth? Just checking. I'm aware that if one is dealing with a person intent on being difficult, there is relatively little you can do.

I remember that when I taught eighth graders, many days my goal was that no one was bleeding at the end of the day. Some days, my goals were lower -- that everyone was alive at the end of the day. With goals so low, I had successful days!

Here is my favorite line from Body Heat w/ Kathleen Turn and William Hurt: "Sometimes the sht comes down so hard I think I should wear a hat."

Here is a hat for you:
Take care. Be kind to yourself.


Mari

OOOPS!!! i thought i had at least 'thanked' this when i read it... which i did.... and i laughed so hard!!!!

....i guess better late than never - thank you Mari.

ROFLOLOL. ok but wait... no birth control for the man????? howabout a nice clean vasectomy? i say, spayed OR neuter em, and then go with the benzo's and lithium. hehe.

yikes. all the same. this blows.

roflolol. for a short period, i subbed for kids around that age group, here. US eigth-graders are what, 13, 14? my eldest group were 13-14 they were not my worst group. mostly they just acted like apes, with each other and with the furniture. what worked were heavy implications as to how uncool ("babyish") this was... hehe did that ever do them in. uncool for that age is just not acceptable. anything but uncool - even what the teacher says.
i had a terrible time however, with the 12-13 year olds ... possibly due to a parentally-sustained "bad element" in that class who, for e.g. drew and distributed porn, talked dirty, made faces, backtalked constantly - and was good at it, he was ON... teacher was a casual irrelevance. a successful day with them was where i felt at least one person learned something.

usually that happened. i also had a class of 11-12 year olds. they were fun. wilder, louder, but more controllable (mentally young enough to respond to standard discipline/threats thereof) - and fun.

but the first 2-3 days of subbing i came home wanted to rip all my hair and fingernails out and then bash my head in. and STILL, i did not not encounter physical violence/bleeding!!! that's ... yiikes!!!! i do not know how if i could have handled that!!! (((hugs)))

ROFLOL thanks... how a propos... and you know, i do actually wear a hat inside on light-sensitive days. haha.

This song is sung by "Gary Lewis & the Playboys". This is the comedian Jerry Lewis's son.

The song is,"Count me In". Click on the Youtube where you see the band,and that gives you a much better sound quality.

In though about this song for several nights before I went to sleep. I thought that it was a song by Ricky Nelson,but it was Gary Lewis. It's a cheerful tune. BF

Can you bring this song to this thread? It's a upbeat song. You will like it I believe. I don't know how to bring these links in. It's called,"Count me in".
BF
