high school

Well, just another story of teenagers and their utter stupidity with opening their mouths.

Seems as if a 15 year old high school kid out here in my small town, decided it would be a "joking" idea to post a shooting threat on his Facebook page. He stated on this page that he hated the school and was going to shoot at least 13 people here.

The other night an old Christmas special of SNL was aired. When Adam Sandler appeared to sing the Hanukkah Song, Nella perked up and happily watched him sing. It’s always been a favorite of mine, and the part “OJ Simpson ~ NOT a Jew!”, is the best part in my opinion! And, at this juncture I felt the need to sing along. When she heard “a Jew” she first yelled out “Bless you!” and then amused the hell out of herself by pretending to sneeze over and over again! It was funny and I couldn’t help but to go along with it! Even when I tried to explain to her that I’d not said “achoo” she just kept sneezing and laughing more! I think I laughed so hard at her clever joke that the morning’s coffee still found it’s way out of my nose!

I can remember when I started high school I was excited about a subject that all girls in first year at high school did – “Domestic Science�? . One half day a week these classes were held in a specially designed Dom Science block.

We would go to school, with a basket, covered with a pretty fabric (I think gingham from memory), and inside would be a special apron, a chef’s cap, and the ingredients for the class. A list would have been given to us the previous week.

The Military Infiltrating High Schools – An OUTRAGE!

As I have mentioned in previous blogs, my sister goes to a local public school in MI. I went to my parent’s house to visit with her the other day and found her crying in her bed. I did the obvious thing and said, “What wrong.�? That’s when she told me…

“I’M JUST SOOOOOO SICK OF THE GUYS IN MY SCHOOL!�? She cried out.

"Teachers wrote a letter claiming major problems are plaguing the South Central Los Angeles campus including students who are gambling, drinking, cutting classes, using profanity, smoking marijuana, threatening teachers and committing sexual acts.

Several teachers told NBC4 they agree with the letter but only one would talk on camera if we didn't show her face.
