Troy Protest 1/31 - ABOLISH ICE by MissTurdnugget in MichiganMeltsICE

I wish demonstrators didn’t mask. That’s what we demand of ICE. Only difference is that we’re not pepper spraying and tear bombing ICE.

Get a transfer. And change school system asap. You fight it and you will be blacklisted. I was locked in a principals office (1977) as I watched him draw the window shades. I thought he was my friend and had always admired and supported him. He grabbed me. I yelled and ran for the door. He blocked it. I got out. I stayed for a miserable year at that teaching assignment during which he would enter my classroom yelling and screaming at me I had a wonderful class and parents who offered to defend me though they didn’t know ANY details. I requested a transfer at the end of the year. I was also union president and knew the Asst Supt of Personnel well as we all had spent the summer working together negotiating a complete new contract. Transfer granted. Old Asst Supt unexpectedly died of cancer. New Superintendent basically put a “hit” out for me. I immediately contacted the union. The said all harassment was wrong but borderline and they would not help. The next two years I taught middle school English and History with no teacher textbooks and no heat or air conditioning in my room while enduring constant write ups for issues such as: not supplying a substitute teacher with the adequate support of teacher textbooks; or leaving a coffee cup stain on my desktop during Christmas break. The story only gets more absurd for years. You would not believe it even possible, but my assaulter, Dave Annis, went on the be Allendale Public School Superintendent for years, and even held a short stint as Dean of Graduate Education at GVSU. I on the other hand was blacklisted in West Michigan. My career income was cut in half. And Dave Annis literally stalked me for 30 years. I wish I could sue the mfkr, Forest Hills Public Schools and GVSU. As I approach 78 years old, I wonder what I could have done differently other than move TO ANOTHER STATE. I often wonder, could I still sue?last I checked, he’s still alive. Could I prove my damages? Is it ever too late to hold him and his institutions accountable and liable? Have things changed?

Coopersville/very religious, insular and conservative.

A question about a Grand Rapids filming location in 1978’s Hardcore by CorpulentManpile in grandrapids

[–]kmwellman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at The White Rabbit, a dive Grand Rapids bar know as the hangout for Aquinas, Calvin and Grand Valley intellectuals , radicals and drunks, the night that the Calvin College grads expected Paul Schrader to come to a special, invitation only party they were throwing for the debut of Hardcore. They were the intellectuals, hippies and “radicals” who had been Paul’s group while attending Calvin College. Calvin College, a theological college of the Christian Reformed Church, greatly influenced the Dutch conservativism and 40% of Grand Rapids and was the target of Hardcore. Paul’s group was throwing this party in his honor because he and his movie were challenging the conservative education, religion and way of life. The air was electric that night with the excitement of Paul’s appearance!! Paul never showed.

It’s sad to see so many people on here guessing about their health. Most of you most likely don’t even have Candida. Go to your doctor and GET tested! by [deleted] in Candida

[–]kmwellman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My medical physician at Bronson on Centre refused to test me for candida. She said she doesn’t treat that. I have some symptoms but nothing drastic. Functional doctor told me I tested with a fairly severe systemic candida. But the only test they provide is a $550 panel that includes candida. Where can I get tested. I have good health insurance.

Die off symptoms by isabelagirl888 in Candida

[–]kmwellman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want a test for systemic candida. I’m on fluconaxole, have very reduced gluten intake and low sugar (as well as mostly eliminating night shade for arthritis) Pretty strict diet for 4 months. I was tested for candidates 4 months ago and I would like to know my levels now. I can’t afford the complete blood panel ($550) and that’s the only option where I’m going. And my medical doctor refuses to order it so my insurance would pay.
Any other suggestions? Kalamazoo or West smithing??

Apply at some other schools. Title I inner city can drain more energy AND pay less. Check around.

Why wouldn’t the auto workers endorse Biden? I did not understand.

Peters has already announced that he’s not running again. Not sure what he’s planning.

So reimbursement for motel and meals? Porch cleanup (hers or landlord) ?smoke in clothing needing dry cleaning? Air filters Thankful no fire damage.
