I disagree as teachers will always be needed no matter what. I mean, you could say the same about any job. Retail is becoming a dead job field because of the internet. Libraries are becoming a dead job field because of the internet. Eventually, a waiter/waitress will be the only industry left because people will always want to eat, but then, everything may just go to ordering your meal online. Eventually, everyone will look like this:



And moving out of state is not an option at this point. Hell, we have only been here for 6 years. If I move out of state, I have to get my teaching license from a new state, plus we would have to have money to even do that We don't even have enough money to pay all of October's bills at the moment. Besides, no matter what, we would be in the same situation. The only thing keep things together for the most part is my girlfriend's job.

the sports players thing has nothing to do with teaching though...

it's like saying you find it disgusting that Exxon makes billions of dollars while Social Security goes bankrupt.
you can't compare a for-profit business like the sports industry to a government funded program.

that said, i think there's a combination of schools being criminally underfunded and more schools than are REALLY required...

but you want to talk about a f***ed up educational system, it's colleges and universities that make MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars off their student athletes and student researchers and make MILLIONS and MILLIONS in tuition as well.

Well, the culmination of 5 months of pain came this morning. Had surgery to remove a kidney stone which refused to come out on its own. I never thought I'd feel so happy to be in a different kind of pain (I'm peeing razor blades today).

My parents are having our family dog put down this afternoon.

I was up visiting them last weekend, and I had a feeling it was going to be the last time I saw the old girl. She could barely use her hind legs, and was basically reduced to doing nothing but peeing and sleeping.

She's had a good life. She's been very well loved, and she loved us completely in return.

I'm glad I got one last chance to spend some time with her. She's such a good dog.

I'm sick, not sure what I have but it started out with a head ache, now my sinuses are draining in the back of my throat and I have a sore/scratchy throat and in the cold I weather I'm having trouble breathing.

I think it's my annual sinus infection but I don't have a full blown sore throat or a cough, plus my nose isn't runny.
