Christine

have you sent a thank you card? or done a follow up somehow? my mom has always said that is a good way to impress people. If you haven't, you should drop one off tomorrow morning for both people that interviewed you.

I am answering from a high school teacher perspective so keep in mind that I am not a parent of a teenager.

I have seen a lot of students do everything possible to defy their parents at school, so my advice on that would be to be open and communicative with your daughter about this and how it makes her feel. The minute you start telling her no she will start to do the exact opposite with this situation (2) Am I insane to think that the remark by the principal extremely inappropriate? If not, what do I do about it? no you are not insane, this is beyond inappropriate and I think you might want to contact the guidance counselor, main principal and/or school social worker if you feel that you would like to take it to that level, but keep in mind that its one thing for her to go to the principal, but once the parent does it can be very embarrassing for the student and this might make her problem worse because if the principal calls the other student into the office and says that they spoke to you it makes your daughter look like a wimp (not that she is, but that is the way kids think) and things could get worse before they get better. (3) Legally, there is nothing that I can do, but how do I help my child? She comes home sad and depressed...all because of this one little b****. (I know she is only 15, but someone has let this girl think that her behavior is okay). UGHHHHH! Thanks for letting me get this out. Keep in mind that all teenagers go through bouts of depression and anxiety over a variety of things, you wouldn't believe the things I see daily. By no means should your daughter have to deal with someone hurting her like this and I hope she will see that the guy should have done something about this long before it got to this point and while I know a teenager cannot see it when they are blinded by puppy love, but your daughter deserves better than someone who doesn't trust them but instead trusts a manipulative nasty girl who he is obviously not dating for some reason or another. please let me know if you think of anything else, questions, concerns etc. but your daughter should not be treated like this by the boy, the girl, or the administration and yes something should be done before it ruins her 10th grade year.

those are great thanks for posting.

oh they are all really pretty and the flowy fabric will look great on the beach.

oh they told us 4-6 weeks, my dress (first one) didn't even take more than 2 months. Ours were all in with plenty of time and I ordered two of them in early may and they were in mid june, then they still had a month for alterations, and you can always pay an extra $25 for express alterations which is what I did for my second dress.

I hope you have a fabulous day

Shelly, I think you have to have a beach wedding with all that cute starfish stuff, you have to be able to use it. This is exactly what happened to us and having a closer to home wedding but still a DW was so perfect and I am so glad we changed our minds. When I look back to that day and see the pictures I know I would have regretted not having a lot of those people there, espcially his family. Please let me know if you need anything.

those are really cool, I wonder how many of them are photoshopped vs. just taken well. I have a friend who had his photo taken in front of the washington monument, but he was far enough away that while laying down it looked like his male parts. I will have to find it and post it for you girls.

Julie I hope your wedding is all you could have ever dreamed of. Can't wait to see pictures of Cuba

oh that is too funny, good one!

welcome, it will be nice to have more expert advice on these destinations!

oh thanks Reggie, so nice to hear from the FI/DH's sometimes.

amazing Susan!

I still have a stack too, glad to hear its a year because I was told two months. I got most out in two months, but today is my 3 month anniversary and I still have about 10 to send out and I don't want to make people mad so the baby won't get cool presents you know!!! just kidding...

Shelley I am so sorry, how is she doing today?

Congrats Lizzy, I hope it comes soon!

Shelley, I will be out of town until Wednesday but please let me know if there is anything I can do, I am really close to you (a quick drive through the city and I am in MD) and can come help with whatever you need, even if you just want to go out and chat.

I am sure it will be fine and you still have about 8 months before so don't worry, things are bound to change, maybe just tell your WC that you would like her to let you know as soon as things are changed so you can include it in your plans.

I just want to clarify something, since we didn't want Heidi to know what was going on, the mods discussed this together and made the decision about the gift. I am really sorry not everyone could decide. We also had some input from a few of the PA girls who went to dinner with Heidi as they were sent on a mission to get some info out of her. I didn't do this entirely on my own, and don't want to take credit for something that quite a few people had part in.

Shelley, I am so sorry, let us know how we can help, would Amos be willing to do something a little closer to home?

Dear Evil Woman who also teaches AP Government, 1. I am an adult, please speak to me as though I am 2. The syllabus I spent 20 hours creating, turned in and got approved by the college board is the syllabus you MUST use 3. Don't tell me you don't understand the assignments on the syllabus when you have never once asked me for clarification 4. Don't act like you are being put out for having to have a meeting with us 5. YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME!!!

okay that is really odd girls, let's just hope I don't get a period anytime soon!

I have not been able to see the next page on numerous occasions as well. the new page won't load and it just keeps going back to the previous page. I have also noticed a lot of multiple posts from people

so cute! great job!

Heidi so happy you got the gift and just so everyone knows, we bought Heidi and Reggie a gift card for BedandBreakfast.com so they can take a weekend away. You girls are amazingly generous and truly are a wonderful community.
