Yes. But congratulations for picking the one I'm not addicted to, lol. I think because I have a friend who IS an Eastender and when it first started he was always complaing about being stereotyped.

You watch it?

I don't have TB, haha. I got the results of my physical that is required for the county job back. I don't have TB, but I don't have immunity to Hepatitis B. Orientation was this morning, and I'm waiting to hear where my assignment is going to be. Man, I can't wait to start working. Living off $700 a month the past couple months has not been easy.

I won't be on this weekend because my mom and I are going up to the central coast to get my niece. We'll be spending the weekend there and bringing her back down here. It's just in time to escape the 90 degree weather we are supposed to get down here starting tomorrow.

I wish I knew how to make a plate look like that.

I know, right? It all looked yummy. The pepperoni sauce did not sound as good as it apparently tasted though.

I have a feeling that "bully victim" parents are just as impossible as "peanut" parents.

Parents didn't go running to the school when I was growing up. What is happening to the world with today's overprotectiveness?

My son has an athlete that is finishing his Sophmore year whose Mom calls my son (his Coach) a minimum of once a week to make sure that he is eating and resting enough. These are college kids!!

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I have always believed that one of the primary roles of elementary and middle school is to learn social skills, warts and all. That is one of the reasons I am so against home schooling. If you haven't figured out social skills by high school, chances are you probably never will. The cases of real, extreme bullying are few and far between. All this other stuff of a look here, and an innuendo there is part of life. The next generation, this product of helicopter parenting are going to be interesting to watch.
