what has happened folks?

[readyaimduck]

I ammend my post:
only some of them care, and unfortunetly they are the ones lost in the shuffle of decisions.

[Patriot]

In the meantime...how as we, the Idiot, little people of podunk Kansas fix or deal with this?

The same way one eats an elephant, ready.
One prayer, one vote and one commission/school/council member at a time... one at a time.

 Hey! I'm not sure how I got projected into Mrs. Smart Mouth's sauciness ( as in KS, ) but I'm up to it if you are.  You shot off your mouth at me first.  I hadn't even been on here today. It is Sunday you know, and that was unnecessary and rude. Last I knew I was talking about 9-11 yesterday. Ya called me out!
     Stop with the "idiot' business .It isn't the least bit noble of you, speaking of changing the subject.You and I both know you are not an idiot and I don't know what you are trying to gain with the self depreciation. I'd much rather debate issues in education when they are appropriate, and stop with the personal smarmy insults. Does being the "nasty Bitch" give you an edge somehow?
     In one way or another I've taught age two day care kids on through grad students at at U D, still do. I'll be doing a RA class in fire safety soon .(one does not make fights in the hall with the fire extinguishers, one gets instantly expelled. (Remember YOU as an adult signed your room contract.) BYE-BYE!  Frankly, Steve, I found the "cream puffs" to be the high school kids.They were always very respectful and genuinely interested. The Middle school kids were the toughest. But the moment I set a fire I had 'em!
 I do know the temperaments of all those educational ages and developmental stages. So what.
 Ready, as far a what had been the topic ...a few need to make up their minds. Presidents get criticized for lack of flag salutes or flag pins, but now we have a faction declaring that this county's citizens shouldn't be doing either as it's anti Christian and pro socialist?   EEEK!
So now the teachers should stop teaching or saying the Pledge to keep a certain few happy...and they aren't even aliens or atheists?   Nope,nope, nope.  Pull the kids and start your own school and never let them stray from their own community. Uh,never mind they already exist.
Much too weird for this old lady. I'd still rather appreciate the many unrestricted freedoms we have here that other citizens in other countries just dream of. Of course it isn't perfect, but please tell me where you would rather live? Warts and all.  Did that ramble enough for ya?

Uh Diane, I believe if you go back to cattywoman's reply # 74, (unless she deleted it like she has other posts) she is the one that called us idiots, to start all this "idiot business". Just curious---when was the last year you were a school teacher ? I think you told us in the past but I forgot

Excuse you, darlin...And yes i am MRS. SMART MOUTH, thanks for noticing...Your buddy Cattywoman is the one that called us all morons, or maybe just me, BEFORE she deleted her post. But Patriot has some of it, like the "MORONS" part, quoted in his reply#73, and Cattywoman's #74 that jarhead mentioned in his latest post. I didn't start out being the NASTY BITCH today, but if you want me to be, I can damned sure oblige you. In the future, that's MS. BITCH to you. Amazingly enough, I didn't even sign the post and you automatically assumed it to be me instead of my husband. Pardon me for the poke, poke, ha ha, hee hee remark; I forgot that you have the trademark on that one! If people want to correct other people and tell people off by using the poke, poke, ha ha, hee hee method (because that makes it ALL better ya know) then what is good for the "teachers" is good for us common, average folk. I could care less what you think of me, because you are way over there and I'm way over here. Oh yes, it IS Sunday, here in the Bible Belt...time for Nascar if they get the track dried off...Toodles, sweetheart!  ----JENNIFER L. WALKER, a.k.a. NASTY BITCH

Just shows how much you are missed... ha ha hee hee poke poke 

What does the day of the week have to do with anything? 

Did that ramble enough for ya?

Bout par for the course.  No great, but OK.  ha ha hee hee poke poke

In the future, that's MS. BITCH to you.

SMACKdown!
One!  Thank you, Ms Bitch, may we have another?

SMACKdown!
Two!  Thank you, Ms Bitch, may we have another?

SMACKdown!
Three!  Thank you, Ms Bitch.


It was good for me, Diane.  Was it good for you?

[Diane Amberg]

When "MS Bitch" acts like one (her choice) and calls me out like she did, I can say what I want. I can swear like a trucker if I need to make a point, but I can usually lift myself above the drivel without needing to.
AND I WILL REPEAT, I'VE NEVER SAID ANYTHING UNTOWARD ABOUT MAIL CARRIERS!  WHY PLAY IN THE MUD.   Aren't you above that? So Sunday means nothing to you all?  Now that is sad.
I've corn to shuck. How you act with your decorum now is up to you, double standards and all. As you say, people are watching.

Inferences count too. 

So Sunday means nothing to you all?  Now that is sad.

If, by inference, you are eluding to the Sabbath... You don't wanna go there.   

How you act with you decorum now is up to you, double standards and all.

More negative inference an innuendo?  Thought you were above that.

As you say, people are watching.

I saw a national poll last week showing that conservatives outnumber liberals in America by 2 to 1.
The more watching, the merrier.

Oh, yes, please, Diane, PLEASE put all of us IDIOTS in our place...We just can't wait to see what kind of infinite wisdom you can spout today!! Or how many times you can change the subject to suit your spoutings....

Does anyone want to explain which part of this post I made is horribly bitchy? I didn't call anyone a name, but was called "Mrs. Smart Mouth" and "Nasty Bitch" for it. (And by the way, I'm not crying or whining or having a pity party like SOME people who shall remain nameless do, i'm simply asking a question here...) It was Cattywoman (jarhead's name for her, not mine, but I like it) that told Diane we are all hers. I only repeated the comment that we are all IDIOTS. Sarcasm is such fun and I am VERY fluent in it. I mean, you would have gave us your two cents on the subject anyway; it's not like Cattywoman had to really twist your arm. You feel the need to spout your infinite wisdom on every subject to us all the time, so it's not like I was actually calling you out. I was speaking the truth. The sarcasm was that we just couldn't WAIT TO SEE what you would say. Not everyone hangs on your every word with bated breath!

Sunday means all sorts of things to me, so nothing is sad. It's your high and mighty self that thinks that Sunday means nothing to me. I don't have to tell you what Sunday means to me though, because those are my private, innermost thoughts and feelings and I don't feel the need to share them with you.

Do I care if you have ever said anything untoward about mail carriers? I haven't said anything untoward about volunteer firefighters or their secretaries or dispatchers or whatever, either. What exactly is your point? I just don't care to hear your point of view on every damn subject there is because Cattywoman started a fight and then backed out and wanted you to put us in our places. If that makes me a bitch, then so be it. I've been called worse by better people who actually know me and have a clue. You do not and cannot hurt my feelings because I don't know you personally and never will. So, honey, calling me names doesn't bother me. I'm a VERY strong woman and can handle myself. Apparently, pretty well. -----Jennifer
