Ah. Too far away for me, since I am sans wheels.
What about advertently making them cry?
I was too nice for too long; they donāt buy it any more. I kind of like my students. Might yell at some of the other ones thoughā¦
If it helps, we still think youāre scary.

Hi, Iām late to the party. But as a vet, I truly believe she should lose her license. We take an oath to first do no harm, and to promote the health and welfare of humans and animals. Secondly, a vet can have their license pulled due to violation of the morality clause. If I can lose my license because of a drunk driving offense, she should lose her due to unlawful hunting and killing of an animal within city limits (or however itās worded in her area) and out of season. Third, we are bound to uphold approved methods of killing/euthanizing animals, and nowhere is a fāin arrow through the head approved. Properly placed bullets, yes. Stunning and then exsanguination, yes. Arrow, no. Her actions are in direct violation of licensing laws and the oath she took, and she should never practice again. On any animal, for anyone. We have enough trouble with people thinking we donāt care about animals because of all those stupid 20/20-type āexposeā articles, we donāt need one of our own churning the waters even further.

I really need someone (in meatspace) I can talk to about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. other than dakwife. The one person here at work who watches it wonāt see it until tomorrow night. GAH! Last nightās episode was So. Damn. GOOD!
Shhhh, waiting on Netflix.
Gonna be waiting a while there, @Woodman
I fear that Age of Ultron will, like The Winter Soldier, spoil the last few episodes of the season. But thatās OK for me because Iām seeing Age of Ultron Saturday! If you havenāt seen TWS, wait until you get to the appropriate point in SHIELD season 1 to watch it.
The end of this weekās episode led directly into AoU. I almost lost my sh!t with all of the revelations (which tie to AoU, and the end of last season, and TWS) dumped in the final 90 seconds.
I watched TWS well before starting AoS.
Iāll survive, watching Daredevil too, so it all gets mixed up.
We do seasonal fundraisers with a greenhouse in town, and Iām one of the lucky ones that helps with them. I put the orders together, collect the money, and help people pick them up when they are delivered.
This time I missed one orderā¦ My Mother in Lawās order. No biggie, motherās day flowers that she bought herself, and Iām the Son in Law that took her money and didnāt give her flowers.

The city is giving out MRE to the homeless again, and I am trying to decide if thatās an act of charity or cruelty.
Eh, depends on which one you get. And from what era.
I still must be very, very hungry to even open one up. The smell of the plastic is a powerful memory trigger. I donāt think Iāve eaten but perhaps two since coming home in early 2007. Iād rather be hungry.
I think the version is relatively recent, with the water-activated heating pad. The ones that Iāve seen so far are chicken and peas (or something, reminds me of chicken a la king), chili-mac and beef ravioli. The most recent ones are also the ālow sodiumā versions, which I canāt see the military as being too concerned about on maneuvers. Even on long hikes and camping trips in Michigan, we had salt tablets.
I hate parenting dilemmas. My now 18 year old daughter has decided,apparently 20 minutes ago, that sheās going to promā¦ tomorrow.
So, she wants me to call her out of school so she can get a dress. And her mother is doing a presentation out of town right this minute, so I canāt check with her.
Am I a horrible person for allowing her to skip school, or for not letting her shop for a prom dress? And of course I have like 10 minutes to make a decision.
Duh, I let her go. She found someone to cover her shift at work tomorrow night and she has a study hall and a composition class sheās getting an A in left today.
Youāre damned if you do, damned if you donāt.
Iām sure thereās tons of selection and low, low prices in the stores the day before prom.
I thought they were all parenting dilemmas.
Amazingly enough an awful lot of them are automatic. Itās the two sirens choices that get me.
Anyone with a kid in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Iām guessing Girl Scouts knows this one.
For an organization thatās so much about honesty, the unofficial āitās only one hour a weekā is one hell of a lie.

Oh I dunno, my daughter joined in August, sheās been to three meetings and weāve heard of 4 total.
That averages out to much less than an hour a week. And one of those meetings was the damn cookie meeting.
I suppose if you troop isnāt a total disaster it takes much more than an hour a week, my dad was my scoutmaster and he would hand carve crap and sew and paint while writing up activities for hours at a time. But if you are into it the rewards are pretty cool.
Getting the load shifted to the kids and off the adults takes time and mentoringā¦ but benefits both, in different ways.
That transition might take 10 years, though.
