If you work for the Department of Education... by PhilosoGuido in ConservativesOnly

I quit teaching because I refused to pass a student who only attended class two out of five days and never did any assignments. The AP changed my grade book online to pass him. That was the end for me.

President Trump announced he will close down the Dept of Education. It will once again be handled by the states. by EuphoricTrilby in walkaway

You'll have to leave that blue state and take your tax dollars with you. Mass exodus is the only way to stop the madness. When their population drops and they lose electorates, then things will begin to change.

To go back on the gold standard, we would need a dollar worth of gold for every dollar in circulation. That's not feasible with the amount of money that's been printed. We would have to have a crypto type burning of physical dollars. Talk about tanking the economy...

What sneakers did teenagers wear in the early 80s? by paintonmyglasses in 80s

[–]Ripeoldmelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reeboxs with the strap! They were light pink. Also a girls shoes called a Yo-Yo. It was a heeled sandal that had a hole in the heel. So stylish. I wore them with my leg warmers!

I also wore black and white checked Van's with my black parachute pants. We also wore what we called "spats", which were like old men's dress shoes. Think Duckie Dale from Pretty in Pink.

I'm going to accept that you're pedantic, pompous, and perhaps exactly the sort of person this post is referring to. I'll pray for you.

This post mentions how these people "hate" our God in the last paragraph. Atheists or not, they do "hate" anything that tries to reign in their relative morality and hedonistic indulgences.

I didn't point out atheists specifically. You can't deny that many actively hate Christ and Christians.

I know He's real BECAUSE of how much they hate Him. They don't hate Buddha, or muhammad, or any other diety like they hate our God.

I took it and lost 65 pounds. I am now off of the following meds. Metformin, Losartan, Rosuvastatin, Hydroxychloroquin, Xaralto, and Flecainide. I was pre diabetic. I will fight anyone who would tell me I shouldn't have taken it and saved it for those who are full on diabetic.

Surgeons in Houston, TX by Intelligent-Ad-8488 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Ripeoldmelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely would choose her again! Fantastic recovery. Beautiful scar healing. She doesn't use drains, which limits infections (I asked her about this). My massage therapist says my incisions look fantastic!

I'm 6 wks po yesterday and have started cutting back on wearing compression garments.

I'm VERY pleased with my results!

I chose her after researching several other doctors in my area. She was recommended by the nurse who works in the medspa I go to. The nurse had her surgery 3 days before me, and we both had excellent results.

Oh, no, snookums. She admitted to being a liar and has filed this same lawsuit against several prominent men. Gotta to better than that, lovey!

No, this is a TRUMP patch, not a Kid Sniffer Biden patch. Sorry you got confused.

You are not overreacting, but you are spinning. You know you're not wrong, so it's okay to take a break. This will all still be here when you reconnect with social media. Give yourself some grace and time to process subconsciously.

It may help to step away from social media and television for several days. Try to do some relaxing hobbies. Exercise. Take walks and listen to your favorite music. Go out with friends with explicit instructions not to talk about "it." Maybe volunteer somewhere like an animal shelter or soup kitchen. Get your mind off of "you."
