32. Good morning. I was unconscious quite a while. (Sleeping).

This is shocking. I pity any Democrat who lives in The Villages.

8. These are the people who remember when school was fun

with no one being handcuffed, jailed or shot...the vice principle was the man to fear, and he had no handcuffs or guns, he just had the capacity to deter your free time after school, or if the school said so, he could spank you with a paddle...beats being shot by a mile. (back then it was always a man)

Now, with guns galore, whoa be the vice principle who punishes a student.

One wonders if 'conservatives' think schools are run by 'liberals' and therefore do not support teachers regarding discipline or even what and how teachers teach?

Seems most shooters are conservatives or from conservative families?

When I was a kid, if the teacher said I did something wrong, it was hell to pay at home also...now seems some (most?) parents take the side of their children.

[rzemanfl]

12. Schools had Vice-Principals. I remember mine having me unwrap a heavily bandaged and taped

foot to prove I wasn't faking. I was too young and stupid to say "call my doctor."

Vice principles are how the country is being run. Please excuse my comment. I was in the Principal and Vice-Principal's office often enough to learn the spelling.

[angstlessk]

14. Principal vs principle...you are correct...spent most of my disciplinary time

with Sister Superior, she was both principal and vice-principal, and wielded a mean ruler!

I wonder why your Vice-Principal wondered if you were faking...had he done it as a youth? Something to think about

[rzemanfl]

15. He did it because he was an A-1, World Class, prick. n/t

[angstlessk]

18. There are those too...I was a bed wetter

In grade one, I was revving up to become class clown, even though I was a girl. My teacher (sister something or another) put a brake on that when she told me that kids in the class said I stank!!!

She could have told my mother and saved me the humiliation, but I think it was her way to control me.

I took this news to my mother (we lived with my grandmother at the time) and my grandmother used to wash me down each morning as if she hated me (but I think she was angry with my mother...either my mother didn't care or was too lazy to wash me up in the mornings)

Thus ended my comedy routine.

[rzemanfl]

21. Here is my one question test I use to determine whether a woman went to Catholic grade school-

How does your refrigerator work? It has never failed.

[angstlessk]

22. Sorry never took electrical shop in elementary school

Is your refrigerator running? Better catch it?

How do you know if it has never failed?

[rzemanfl]

23. Kids in parochial school never learned that gases cool when they expand, which is the

way refrigerators and a/c works. Third or fourth grade public school science.

[angstlessk]

26. Heck, we were learning Latin during your refrigeration class

[rzemanfl]

33. That must come in handy. So many Latin speakers out there.

Especially at chariot races.

[angstlessk]

34. Tu recte

My Latin has made me a bookkeeper...though I would enjoy a career in refrigeration

You know when they quit making buggy whips, there went the chariot races

[rzemanfl]

37. If you can keep books in Roman numerals, I am in awe. n/t

[druidity33]

42. as a leatherworker.....

i still get the occasional call to make a 'coach whip'. These aren't people that drive buggies though...

[Lucky Luciano]

38. I had plenty of vice principles, but I have cleaned up my act since then. nt

[spanone]

11. K&R...

[gademocrat7]

13. I applaud their effort.

[HockeyMom]

16. Remember that gun group giving away guns

to Seniors in some Naples Retirement homes? Maybe about 5 years ago? They were shocked that the old ladies were slamming doors in their faces and saying NO they didn't want any guns?????

[Scurrilous]

17. K&R

35. Boy, they're hiring all the best crisis actors, aren't they?

I mean, they even got a girl who could throw up on cue. It's just amazing how resourceful those gun-grabbers are, isn't it?

And . . . sarcasm mode off.

[onecent]

39. That is SO TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!

[raven mad]

40. I remain astounded at the sheer diversity of the protesters!

[LittleGirl]

41. I went to the Tucson march

and I swear, most of the crowd were my age - old grey haired people.
Yes, there were youngsters as well but this is part of blue Tucson that has a lot of retirees.
Many are in my indivisible group.
