Back To School ---- Limited quantity means just that

[Pezzle]

480 cans. I can go through that in an upwards of a week if I try. I know it's not healthy, but frankly, I don't care. I figure I'm here, and I'm gonna have some fun. 480 cans would make a nice pyramid though. *Note to self, buy large amounts of cans while on sale, poison self with sugar, create giant can pyramid*

OT, but please take care of yourself. My boyfriend spent years doing far less than this and is facing a status of pre-diabetic. Don't want to see you sufferin'

Back to school, ugh I'm glad I bought all my books before every other student starts running around like headless chickens in the bookstores.

Wanna know the Irony? I'm Hypoglycemic. Badly. My body can't keep the sugar, no matter how much I have, I never have enough. I have Hypoglycemic shock every once in awhile, no matter what I eat or drink. It's pretty good to be able to eat sugar like I'm never gonna see it again. But if I lose sugar, I get dizzy, covered in icy sweat, lose my sight (temporarily) become disoriented, and eventually pass out. Not fun.

Back on topic, we get at least one post of this nature every year around this time, and I am always horrified that teachers are expected to go to the shops and buy supplies for their classrooms themselves. There's no excuse for rude behaviour, but I can sort of understand why they are ratty. Do the sports teachers have to go and buy sports equipment out of their own pockets?

Unless you teach 867-located kids, you're not "bettering the future of tomorrow's kids" with a freakin' 24 packs of bleeping Crayolas, okay?

You never drew pictures in infant (elementary) school? From what I remember crayons were pretty much a staple.

Of course whatever her job, it doesn't entitle her to be such a bitch.

Me too! I didn't know how common this was until I started reading about it here.

Thank heavens that there are teachers out there that will take care of these things for the sake of their students.

If you consume sugar or simple carbohydrates (white bread, potatoes, etc) you will raise your insulin level. Insulin binds to insulin receptors and causes sugars to enter the cells. If you have certain disorders of insulin receptors, you will have high insulin long enough to get hypoglycemia. You should be eating very frequent snacks of high-protein foods, such as nuts or jerky or hardboiled eggs, smoked fish, etc. Carbs should be complex carbs such as whole-grain breads, brown rice, etc. If you are prone to hypoglycemia, consuming lots of sugar/carbs puts you in the vicious cycle that you describe. If your employer lets you drink soda but not eat food except on break, get a note from your doctor to allow you to eat frequently. Don't drink soda, drink water.

Hope you can forgive the unsolicited advice.

No, because the difference between a happy town and one where half the town commits suicide yearly is whether the team is winning. Exagerating maybe, joking no. Try to get money so kids can have NEW books and no one will show except maybe a couple moms. Ask for money for sports, and EVERYONE shows up.

Hehe, that's how my boyfriend managed to hook up with one of his exes.

Now ask me again if I drew pictures in kindergarten.

B) My point was that she used rather grandiose terms for describing crayons. I'm pretty sure lil Timmy isn't going to ruin his life in drugs and whores if one day in kindergarden they ran out of Sunflower Yellow.

No, but by encouraging him to draw she might just better his future a little bit.

But, as I said, its no excuse for her to be a PITA.

Sweety, with the 'ttude she displayed, you think she's gonna be really sweet with her students?

"you call that a tree you idiot?"

I WISH I was kidding. I had really mentally unstable teachers as a kid. I went to school like a year after they took the robes off of the nuns.

They were insane, abusive ladies.

You can buy up to the limit and get the sale price; if you buy an more than that you are charged a higher price for each one over the limit.

And that is how it should be.
