    Glad you said that. I thought about putting that at the end of my post, but I was to chicken. You're the boss, Nacht.

    Just a smallish rant which I can admit is rather unfair.

    The Physics teacher I have is incompetent; his teaching methods sometimes makes me want to slam my head against a desk. He's a nice guy, don't get me wrong, but he tends to be rather inflexible and by-the-book and that is(or maybe was, now) irritating to me and my classmates. I don't mean to be unfair, but the way he teaches just doesn't really get through to me(I do learn, but only from my friends who understand the material.) Despite all this, last semester I had a B that probably would've been an A if not for those 12 missing homework assignments. However, right now, I'm borderline C-B and barely understand the material for tomorrow's test.

    However, he is a new teacher and perhaps he will learn as we students do. I just hope the rumors of him being fired aren't true; it wouldn't be too good for him and his pregnant wife.

    Pft. Yup, I should be.

    No, I was upset that I got caught in the crossfire of an argument that didn't involve me. So, no. And it was only for the rest of the night.

    Somehow, I feel offended that you said that last part. So I'm just wisely not going to say anything.

    dad is being mr. negative about getting a puppy. now he thinks we have to put it in a dog day care when we leave for vacation. news flash dad when we had the cat we had our neighbors come over and feed her along with cleaning out her litter box. and when we had our other dog b4 our cat we did the same thing to him. it is $300 cheaper to let someone we know to watch the animal than put it in a dog day care. mom is agreeing with him for now just to shut him up. but when she comes home from work i am going to see what she rly thinks.

    Good luck. I wish I could have a dog. I'm at the point in my life where I'm fixing to move out by myself now, and owning a pet will make the rent in most places higher. so it'll be a few years yet before I can get a dog.

    Get the dog after the vacation sometimes, there are advertisements in the newspaper from dog owners who can't support the dog and is looking for the right person to adopt their animal, usually that animal is already house trained.

    that is what i have been doing pretty much every week. but mom finally brought up a good point when we leave we can just send the dog to a friend's house so we don't have to worry about anything in our house getting broken on accident.

    So, I guess your prayers are answered...

    So, now that you know you are getting the puppy, what kind or type are you getting?

    I suggest an Aussie Shepherd. They are amazingly smart and loving dogs. I wouldn't trade mine for the world.

    I have a Siberian Husky, they are high maintenance since they always shed and they need a lot of exercise, but I love her.

    The other is a Boston Terrier, she's adorable and loveable, she's alright, not high maintenance.

    My grandparents are horrible dog owners. They have a 5 month old Dauchsund puppy, they feed him only people food, he refuses to eat dog food now. I cautch them feeding him chocolate, which you should all know is deadly to dogs even in small amounts. My grandpa is buying the dog something so he can be on the motorcycle on rides that are a few hours long. The dog just has to go everywhere they go, he absolutely cannot be left at home for even five minutes. I hate people who spoil their dogs.

    I also hate people that abuse animals. There's a horse tied up to a fence, no shelter, moldy hay (we checked), nobody is around. Nobody will do anything about it.

    And I have to teach my other grandma's three yorkies how to use a doggy door. Wonderful.

    u should call animal control if not for the dog then for the horse cuz it could get sick and die on that hay and get rain rot cuz of the lack of shelter. if u haven't yet. i know they r u relatives but they shouldn't fed it stuff like that.

    I hate that feeling you get when you realize you're working with some pretty unreliable motherfu*kers that make your own job THAT much harder.

    I'm dying to play a videogame that doesn't put me in a coma...

    The last one was Catherine but the game is too short even on the hardest setting.

    Some people... Some EFFING people!

    I went out to get the mail only to find that some B*TCH had plastered a USED menstrual pad right on the lid of our mailbox.
    Had no other choice but to go back inside to fetch rubber gloves, a sponge and disinfectant to scrub that shit clean.

    If I had any clue who it was, I'd be tempted to ask if she was so desperate to find a partner that she felt the need to mark her territory with signs of her fertility?

    Moving to a new house is exciting in concept, but very very very very very very very very very difficult to execute. Especially when you have entirely uncooperative parents who know about as much about teamwork as... I can't even come up with a clever analogy. Rage monkeys.
