mnealtx 0 #1 August 9, 2007 From email... so bite me if it's a repost!! Without any further ado... here's the list! Life is not fair - get used to it! The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them. Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Nightingale 0 #9 August 9, 2007 Quote While it's true that you don't get the summers off, there's an exception... school teachers! Teachers don't get paid for the summer, though (at least not in CA), so most teachers I know either have spouses with a second income, or find work subbing in year round schools or doing other things. Most people can't afford three months off without pay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #11 August 9, 2007 ON saturday I was talking to a woman who teaches 10th & 11th grade. She spends her days teaching them things like the differences between "they're" and "their", "your" and "you're" and so on. The kind of things I was learning in 5th & 6th grade are now being taught in 11th grade.

Thanatos340 1 #19 August 9, 2007 I sooooo feel your pain. Sometimes I think God is up there going "Spend 20 years chasing every woman in sight.. Oh Yea?? Well now deal with this!!"And then he laughs some more as she gets prettier and prettier. I just HOPE and Pray my Daughter has more common sense that her Father.

smiles 0 #21 August 9, 2007 Neither of my sons took Earth Science as a subject like I did. Spelling was not a subject in their elementary years due to computers and "spell checkers." Also their education didn't include sports days where there was competition...from youngsters they all got the same colored ribbons...no third, second or first.

Thanatos340 1 #22 August 9, 2007 Quote I'll have to kill him. After I torture him. Then cut him up. I have found it easier to just do a little pre-emptive Knee capping. First time I meet ANY "Boy" that is hanging around my daughter, I kick them in the Knee cap. Once they get up and ask why I did that, I tell them "it was for Thinking about it." When they ask “Thinking about what?”, I Just look at them and kick the other Kneecap. They usually dont hang around much after that for some strange reason.

That's why I'm praying that when the time comes and I have kids that I dont have a daughter. Nothing against girls, but I'm already VERY protective of my friends who are girls. If I do have a daughter, she won't date until she's 30. I'm serious. Call it a double standard, I just know what goes on... My mom is in the process of "dating" again and i do a background check, blood sample, criminal history check, sexual offender check, and just plain old "is he trying to run game on my mom and if he is I'll kill him. " check.... So yeah...hats off to those of you with girls...Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
