I seriously had not heard of her. I just asked a friend and he had heard of
her but he is big into politics. He said she was Speaker of the House. I
remember the name of Tip O'Neil (sp?) as speaker of the house. I don't know
why I remember that name or when he was it.

I seriously have no interest in politics whatever. I don't follow
politicians nor do I go around looking at pics of them.

We had just moved to the mainland when we found out my wife was hapai.
Neither of us had a job so we had to go on welfare. We found jobs pretty
fast but the state of CA paid for the prenatal care and delivery. I was
surprised that my wife's care was so comprehensive. It was the finest
care with lots of tests along the way. It didn't cost us anything but
you can bet somebody paid for it. An extra large box of raincoats would
have been a hell of a lot cheaper - even if they was fluorescent, honey
flavored, and played the star spangled banner.

I think a lot of the so called "popular" people felt that way in HS.
They were amazed that the "cool kids" knew who they were and their
friends spanned various groups, but they didn't feel like they
belonged to any of them. Group identity is a BFD in HS.

Sheldon is a piece of shit bigot. He's a male supremacist, homophobic asshole.
Imagine the horror if that sorry excuse for a man had any power over any woman
beyond his wife. I pity that woman, if she even exists, married to a man who
hates any desirable woman that he can't possess, or can't be controlled by
another male. His sexual trip is all about slut shaming, and a man who is
like that can only enjoy sex when he's thinking about rape

My labor was induced. That was the last thing I wanted. Was supposed to be
gentle and take two days. Nope. Caused me to go immediately into labor. I
knew it but couldn't convince anyone else of that. I actually didn't know
it until my water broke. And I had to convince them that my water had
indeed broken. They had me take a bath and I became frantic in the bath
because the pain was so great.

They told me that my contractions were so strong that there was no way I
could tell when one ended and the next one began. They were just constant.

To make matters worse, her head was right there but it kept molding to my
cervix which is why I couldn't push her out. Dr. finally had to use what he
called salad tongs. Left no dent in her head. He also had to cut me enough
to require 17 stitches. I don't want to remember. Hurts just thinking of
it.

Yeah. I remember Sally Jesse Raphael once saying that the popular kids
never realized that they were in fact popular.

I don't really know how the other kids saw me. I had all sorts of friends
from popular to nerdy to strange. I pretty much got along with everyone.

One person who really impresses me is a guy who was popular. I worked with
him briefly when we worked for Jafco. Not sure if he went off to college or
what. But he was very good looking and always nice to everyone.

He got married for the first time last year. His wife is not a young thing
but very attractive and he still is. They are always going off to nice
places, they have a vegetable garden. They cook good food, they go out and
eat good food. Always jetting off to parties and exotic locals. They
appear to be very wealthy. And still very nice to everyone. If you were to
see a pic of him or him with his wife, you would think they were very
important people. That's just how they come across.

I was in pretty much all of the groups at least on some level. I had
friends in band which was not a cool thing. I was in drama which was not a
cool thing. I was in Deca which...I don't know. We had a few nerds in
there but most were popular kids. I was also into sports and was the school
mascot. And I was friends with older and younger people.

You can say that again. For me, most was a waste of my time. Granted, this
was during the 70's where smoking pot seemed to be more popular than
actually learning anything, even among many of the teachers. I learned all
sorts of esoteric stuff but nothing like history or math.

I enjoyed HS in spite of all the trials and tribulations in spite of
attending three of them in 4 years. Didn't know a single soul in any
on the first day, but ended up with a happy experience in all. The
first one was the worst! I entered school at the bottom of the barrel
(because most of them had been together since kindergarten) and always
felt like an outcast, but ended up attending the prom with one of the
alpha girl's ex. Score! I still laugh about that little turn of
events.

It sounds like he's a nice guy who married an equally nice woman and
both have decent incomes that allow them to enjoy their "free time".

Sheldon has already said he has an "ex", which means he's such an
a*hole, his wife couldn't stand him so she left. If he has a sexual
life at all, it's online and I say that because I think he's too cheap
to pay for the real thing.

At the time, I was OK with it. I spent my time doing stupid high school
things and laughed and joked with mt buddies. When I look back on it

That must have been tough on her. At least she had her brothers moving

I saw it as a waste of time then. I only needed one more credit during my
last semester to graduate but my favorite classes, biology and drama were
either first or last period. I didn't want to give either of those up. I
had begged my mom prior to let me drop out and get my GED so I could get a
full time job but she wouldn't let me. I was only 17 when I graduated so I
didn't have a leg to stand on there.

At the time, I didn't find it scary. Just extremely painful and annoying.

I only had to move schools once. That was very hard on me. Daughter only
moved once too. I don't think it was quite as bad because she went from
full day K to 1st grade. The kids here went from half day K so in some
respects it was harder on them. The odd thing was though, she could already
read and they were just learning.

I am amazed that you would use a word like esoteric when you didn't even
know the meaning of ignorant. I am finding it hard to believe there were
any subjects taught in high school that would considered by any normal
person to be esoteric.

No, Gary.... much as you've been wanting me to put you in the same
category, I haven't. Yet.

You poor thing. I'm sure no female in the history of the world has ever
suffered as much as you did! And here I thought *I* had it bad when....
wait.... who cares?

Typical female view of things. :-)

The very use of the term "first world countries" is pretty damned
imperialistic, as in "we are superior and we are there to
civilize them". If you don't know what that means in terms of
experiences for the locals, read up on the Sepoy rebellion and
the French rection to insurgency in Indochina (1946-1954) and
later in Algeria.

So, oh wise (ahem) one, what is the meaning of racism, other than
treating others differently (and more often than not with disdain
such as you have expressed towards...let me find that again...
"dregs of the third world you let in breed like cockroaches")
than one treats one's own members?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that when you say
"dregs of the third world" you are not referring to white people.

I don't have a problem with that as long as she does not vote.

Many people have no interest in political views, but will vote for a
candidate because he is cute or uses my favorite cologne.

If HS was a waste of time, what you you replace it with? I was able to
advance my education and mature a bit more to start my life as an adult.

Had pre-eclampsia and eclampsia but they say you only have that with
your first pregnancy. You are right, it was rough. During delivery, I
had blurred vision, headache, bloody nose and seizures, then I was
temporarily blind for a few hours after childbirth. It is heartbreaking
not being able to see your baby. The next day, I felt like a truck ran
over me. lol

dsi1, my ex-husband says, that if our youngest child had been the first
child, he would have been an only child. lol

My daughter is sure lucky that my sons didn't give my wife too much
trouble coming into this world. The way I see it, my daughter pretty
much ruined it for all the other kids that we could have had. How
selfish! :-)
