Nailed him

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (110881) • United States 6h

I busted the student who has been cheating on quizzes and tests in my biology class. I still don't know how he was doing it but I know he was. Their Chromebooks have a program on them that allow me to see their screens and what...

Jim Bauer Hey, wait, I already have a voodoo doll of you. Perhaps I can sell it to him? Cheating is a bad way to go about life and I think you taught him more than one valuable lesson from the act itself to the reason you knew he was up...

Things change

Angie @andriaperry (117362) • Anniston, Alabama 13h

I haven't wrote in a couple days because I know for a fact I'm being creeped, that means read and the person is to chicken poop to comment. That's okay. I asked for my hours to be changed at work so that no one knows when I'm...

Jim Bauer I get read all the time by people outside the site. But I am known outside of it, in some part because of the various places I have written for years and how I share what I write in those various places, INCLUDING here. So I am always aware of it. Of course,...

Friday Morning Brief

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (272791) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 14h

Good morning from frigid Green Bay, Wisconsin where the temp is -7 F (-22C) and feels like -26 F (-32C). I don't want to go anywhere in these temperatures, but I don't have a choice. I have therapy at 9. So, I will be going out...

Jim Bauer Is that heat stuff even worth it anymore? Not much water in gas, and not supposed to be. But it DOES get rather cold there, so maybe it is still a thing? Either way, stay warm.

Life is scary

Angie @andriaperry (117362) • Anniston, Alabama 23 Jan

Someone comes to you and says " hey, what do you think about this? Would you like to do that? Saves you money and helps me also." I replied " yes, sounds good to me." In doing this I would have to completely give up on my dreams...

Jim Bauer It's hard to say what choice would be the right one since you really don't offer much in the way of what the choices ARE. So, all I can say to that is to go with your gut and go with your heart and let it help guide you in the right direction. It doesn't...

Dogs or Cats or Both or Neither?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (114650) • United States 23 Jan

Dogs were domesticated over 15,000 years ago by the hunter-gatherers; and the dog is the direct descendant of the wolf. There are approximately 450 breeds of dogs and between 700-987 million dogs in the world. Recently the...

Jim Bauer I have had both cats and dogs, and while I DO like dogs, I find cats are just easier. I was not a fan of cats at all before I met my wife, but now I really like them. Go figure. Damn buggers stole my heart!

Jim Bauer Hey, look on the bright side. According to his history he's wrong most of the time. It is estimated he has only ever been right 39% of the time. I think he has a similar track record as most weathermen if that is any consolation. lol For dinner I took it a...

Do You Take Breaks While Doing A Survey?

popciclecold @popciclecold (31129) • United States 2 Feb

Every since some mylotters told me about how they do surveys, I was really inspired. But I'd like to know if you take breaks during the survey, or just stick it out. I try to take short ones, but they even seem long. Not...

A Florida school district wants to know about students' periods

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (110881) • United States 2 Feb

Well, actually they don't. The state athletic association does. Red flags have been going up for well over a year with new extremely restrictive abortion bans in various red states. Women have been told to delete period...

Jim Bauer Yet you are perfectly fine if the school asks Suzie if she's Tommy... I am not saying I agree with the policy or the proposal. I am just saying that there are lots of stupid questions being asked today.

A female who lives in Trenton Michigan used a very unusual method of buying a free coupon that she was for $5 dollars that she won for playing a scratch game in a store earlier. The name of the female who lives in Trenton is 41...

Your medical logic about sodium?

much2say @much2say (50557) • Los Angeles, California 2 Feb

Most of us here are not doctors. But we may have experience or knowledge on certain medical topics . . . or logic / "a gut feeling" about how the body works. Say a person has high blood pressure and kidney failure issues - and...

Jim Bauer I think it is all about how the body processes what we intake. But I do agree that taking it in all at once may tax our organs and body more. But I am not a doctor either. I am on a salt restriction and find it is one the most difficult things to avoid,...

A Few Things We Take For Granted

CarolDM @CarolDM (201704) • United States 1 Feb

The last couple of days I have spent lots of time on the phone helping my cousin. She is blind and rarely asks for help. Her daughter recently moved closer to her Dad, so she doesn't visit as often. I bought her a magnifier last...

April @thislittlepennyearns (55602) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 1 Feb

Jim Bauer I never could ever justify buying chicken wings. Those things were VERY WELL marketed when you think about it. When I was "coming of age," no one wanted them and they were the cheapest cut of the chicken. Most people just used them for soup stocks and what not...

Jim Bauer No need to be overly emotional, but I do understand why you might be. Kindness is a rare thing these days and so when it happens, it takes us aback a bit and gives us hope and some reconciliation that things in the world may not be as bad as they often times...
