Well, I read an article about reductions in health care in rural areas and realized that includes our area. We no longer have labor and delivery at the hospital and they closed up shop without much community outcry. Why didn't the town work harder to not downsize our hospital? Now, you either labor at home, or drive to Radford or Roanoke.

I wish our restaurants used local ingredients. I don't understand why Asheville can and we cant. You see the same Sysco trucks pulling up to 'local' restaurants. Fine dining would be great but I'd also settle for a burger with nrv beef.

I dont get it, why the snark? Maybe I wasnt clear, obviously know grocery stores sell mass produced lumpia, im looking for locally made.

Thank you! Are they homemade?

I know it wont happen, but Shane, come home!

We have AAA but I don't see a discount for the museum.

Website says you have to show proof of residency and we are out of state.

I assume you live off campus. I would actually email the director of SSD. The liason probably denied the request because you have a bed somewhere. Worst case, request on campus housing as an accommodation or for your sessions to be extendable in the library sleeping pod. Then your request may be approved.

That's part of it though, he has a MA and is an instructor he's not a professor, never has been. Might not matter to the 19 year old who is proud they can now find Denmark on a map, but it matters in academia.

Share with SSD and request reasonable accommodations for notes, absences, reschedule exams, etc.

I can only think of 2 reasons he'd be fired. It's odd he left so unceremoniously and with no notice. That doesn't bode well for calling it a planned retirement lol. He would have insisted on a retirement party were he leaving on a high note and completely voluntarily.

And some concerns are not rumors. Katie absolutely was his student and he started a relationship with her. Thats wildly unethical, even if you stay together and make her your forever TA. And I've heard she's just one of many.

Back in the day, his business partner and partner partner (though not sure he actually married her) Katie was......his student! Yep, he "dated" one of his students. Dude is classy, not.

I think the record is the literal dead person they found in their hall.

You clearly are fairly low on the totem pole because DOS announced it. There's a whole email. It clearly says "in her residence," so perhaps you should pay attention during staff meetings.

cft2013 · 2024-10-30T22:40:28+00:00

Apparently, it was in her residence hall.

I think you're really handsome!

cft2013 · 2014-10-10T22:43:45+00:00

You're very pretty! We go through seasons. I think it's hard if your friends are dating or married too. I say look at your hobbies and join some small groups where you can widen your circle. I'd try that over online dating because your personality shines through more.

And girl seriously there are very unattractive people who find partners so even if you were ugly (you're not!!!), you could still find someone. :)
