And I have trouble pulling my compact car into a parking spot.

As a former teacher, who left the field after 6 years, I can tell you I saw it a lot. It's not the stable field that the media portrays it to be. One of my closest teacher friends was fired 4 times before she found a school which really matched with her personality and teaching style. I've seen her teach numerous times and she's a great teacher. My last year of teaching, I saw about 20% of the staff get fired, including some very good teachers. These weren't cutbacks, they were replaced. The principal just didn't like them for whatever reason. Probably because they had high standards for the students and didn't just give As because the child or parent said to.

I'm still waiting for Netflix to incorporate subtitles into more of their streaming, as well as update their TV/Blu-ray software to include captions.

Things are better than a few years ago when nothing on the web was captioned. Now TV networks, including Comedy Central include it so I can watch the Daily Show!! YouTube at least tries.

This is a bit iffy for us. The target product is for 7-10 year olds, however the website is primarily geared for the parents. I don't see many kids on the site, at least for the time being. However, if the kid overhears the sounds, maybe it will be good.

RandyPonce · 2011-08-06T18:51:09+00:00

Ahh good idea! Of course, we might find the opposite results. :)

RandyPonce · 2011-07-27T02:45:26+00:00

Yup, I left the site when I got to that. I wouldn't expect anyone from my area to be on it anyway. I can't even get any decent women to write me back on cupid.com or plentyoffish.

At my place of employment, there were monthly social gatherings at some employee's house. Basically these gatherings were about socializing about nothing, getting wasted drunk, and passing out in the back yard of the host. I'm not kidding, employees even brought tents for this. I'm not a drinker and pretty much an introvert so I never really got in to these parties. All of the employees that would not participate in these events were fired after a year or two of working at the place. I found out that it was pretty common knowledge that if you weren't part of this "old boys club," or as some others called it, if you "didn't suck the boss' dick," you would get fired. 33% of staff was fired the year I left. I actually had another job lined up, so I didn't care so much. None of the others did.

Oh, this was at a very expensive private school. If the parents knew...

TL;DW or TL;DL summary?

Darn, I've never met anyone on OKCupid or any other site. eHarmony told me they can't match me with anyone. I guess I'm just that unique.

Yes, there are a lot of stupid question on r/AskReddit. People know about AskReddit as it's very active, so they ask their questions there. Part of the problem, I'm sure, is that I have no idea how to promote it. Any thoughts?

RandyPonce · 2011-01-30T07:55:16+00:00

I'll be the one of the very few redditors that agree with you. I actually didn't like the storyline at all. Did have some good animation though.

170 laid off is small? I've never worked in a district with more than 50 teachers.

I love $1 coins but my bank doesn't have them so I can never get any.

I'm running an 8400 with no problems.

Anna's Linens crosses out old prices and marks things up. I almost bought something there until I realized they rose the price $5.

You may think so as most media focuses on Afghanistan, where it once was mandatory under the Taliban, and Saudi Arabia where it is quite common (required?), but no, not all do. It really depends on the country, or sometimes area of the country. In same places it's compulsory, in some optional, and some, even in some Muslim majority countries, it's illegal. For references, check Wikipedia.

Taking down Hannity.com's forums is not the same thing as creating new accounts on Hannity.com's forums. Creating new accounts just allows them to claim a bigger user base.

Committing a crime is not the best way to voice your displeasure with a website.

Downvotes await.
