Re: A little rant fulled by Tequilla

Sorry you had a run-in with rude parents. I don't think you're unreasonable to expect some parents to stay -- and if they don't stay, to pick their child up promptly. My 8 year old had an...

Re: Pre-school and fees

Ditto here in VA in certain circles re: competitiveness. Also, it's true to say that just because a school costs more, doesn't always mean it is better (let's say I've learnt from experience :).

Re: Pre-school and fees

Re: High Fructose Corn Nightmare...

Sadly, my sister-in-law's son, who's only 11 or 12, has to go in for a kidney stone op in the next week or so. He's seriously overweight, fueled by overeating (especially raiding the fridge at...

Re: Whatcha all doing this weekend?

Looking forward to OH and eldest daughter's return from Texas. OH has only been gone for 4 days, but my 8-year old has been at her grandparents' for a month. :unsure:

Re: Parents of School kids

Speaking as a worker in an before- and after-school program, the budget in this program does not pay for much extras. I probably spend about half of what I earn (which isn't much!!) on arts and...

Re: Bugs and beasties?

I wasn't keen on the bugs in South Texas -- everything really is bigger there, from roaches to stick insects!! When we first lived in San Antonio, we rented a house that was right on the outskirts...

Re: Parents of School kids

My kids go to local parish school, so I expect to buy supplies. Didn't realise that the public schools make you buy stuff too :o

Re: My first US road rage incident...

No-one else has mentioned it, so I will. If you're in the wrong lane, what's so bad about taking that right turn and then turning back around. It would definitely be the safer option :)

Re: food safety course questions

I would call your local Health Department and TABC to check if the online courses qualify. I have a food handler card for Virginia and had to take a short class at the school where I work. All it...

Hi, Shalaxh, I really sympathise. I'm here to tell you it can be done. I had a full-time job as an executive assistant with a commute of an hour each way. I had planned to come back full-time 9...
