One by request for Miss Vali...



Isn't Ten DREEEEAMY? The way he's cheerful one second and destroying your universe in the next? *sigh*


And the next one, for me this time...


Ahh, tax season at the library, oh my it's a joyful place. I would like to take this moment to tell all the people who won't be reading this that I am not a tax professional, I never will be a tax professional. I just hand out the forms. Trust me when I tell you I have no super-secret knowledge I am keeping from you just to make your life hard. If I knew how to answer the question, believe me when I tell you that I would've answered it half an hour ago and saved myself a lot of aggravation.

Someday I'm going to say why not when someone pushes me like this and just give out random bits of half-cocked advice just to see what'll happen. Or maybe not.

Yeah, what's up with parents doing all their kids' homework?

IN MY DAY if we didn't do our science project the way we were supposed to we plugged a digital watch into a potato and said, "Look, Ms. Webb, it's a potato clock!" and your Earth science teacher gave you an F because you were a n00b and that's the way it was and we LIKED IT!

When my daughter took high school chemistry, the teacher passed out a questionnaire at Parents Night. One of the questions was "What is the lowest grade you will accept for your child in this class?"

I'm still boggling and that was two years ago.

So...if you said C minus, does that mean that it was okay if the teacher gave her that grade, or...?

Great, now I'm confused.

If I said C-, that meant that he wouldn't be getting angry 10PM calls saying "YOU HAVE RUINED MY KID'S LIFE YOU BASTARD!"

At least that's my guess: he was trying to identify the parents who would be pains in the asses highly involved in their children's performance.

I said B. She got an A, as usual.
