Home-schooling is legal; bashing in the head of a school administrator for acting like a Barney Fife in a low-budget women-behind-bars flick probably isn't. I'm just trying to stay out of jail, here.
Good call then with the home schooling!!!!
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

wrt gym & school, I guess there was an advantage to being in a wheelchair in elementary school. Middle School started as sitting on the side lines "you can be our timer guy during wrestling season, and score keeper during kick ball..." um. No. So they said I could spend PE in the library. YA! High School had this weird thing where you had to read a series of articles on athletics and answer questions. I got to the point where I could skim for the key words and finish in 10 minutes, and then go to the library.

You were in a wheelchair in elementary school? Well, me too, but it's less interesting with 1979-(present) after it.

Elementary school gym for me was fine. Some things I couldn't do, but nobody ever made a big deal out of it. Our elementary school gym teacher was great at finding things for us to do where everybody could participate at their own level and it wasn't a contest. Middle school and high school gym, though, sucked.

You were in a wheelchair in elementary school?I was in a chair through most of Middle School. Our MS was spread through 5 buildings all on a hill, so getting from class to class was a nightmare on the crutches. In the chair, one of the custodial staff would wheel me from class to class. High School I ditched the wheel chair. And by that time, I got the forarm crutches, which are SOOooOooo much better the old wooden ones.

Of course, it wasn't like the PE teacher was going to frogmarch me around the track. A Gandhi-esque bout of lump-on-the-groundness seemed to work.
This has me giggling at an image of a teenaged connie hunkered down on the track glowering at a pushy PE teacher. Go you!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just discovered that coriander and cilantro are the same thing. Oh, coriander. You sounded like such a nice little spice. But you're an evil herb in disguise.
Aha! I see that the seeds are what I always thought of as coriander. But the leaves are cilantro! BASTARD.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think coriander is cilantro seeds. So yeah, the same plant but quite different in flavor and application.

Except in Europe. There, coriander can mean either the seeds or the leaves. I think.

Cilantro is the one that tastes like soap, right?
