Teacher humiliates a student

aprilj1231 @aprilj1231 (288) • United States 19 Feb 09

One of my friends has a 12 year old son who is husky. He was humiliated by his teacher in the hall at school last week when he had a problem with his pants becoming loose and sliding down. He is a clean cut, well dressed kid. Even...

crisrisl I think the teacher here was insensitive to the situation at hand and treated him badly, however just as she would treat any student whose trousers were falling down. However, perhaps this is something that could be settled more civilly. I realize the parent...

crisrisl The presence of cell phones in school is quite controversial and only seems to lead to problems - students using them during class and teachers unable to do much about them. Even when school policy forbids them, it is a very difficult rule to enforce. Should...

Vegetable Clips

Fishmomma @Fishmomma (11377) • United States 2 Feb 08

Has anyone had any success with vegetable clips? They suction cup for a short time, then my fish manage to get them off the wall or the floor of the tank. The zucchini is still on the clip and standing straight up. I have tried...

crisrisl It doesn't involve using the suction cup veggie clips (they either fall off, float, or the suction cup eventually curls so doesn't stay stuck so good...)but here are a few alternate suggestions... stick a piece of silverwear through the center, like an old...

Will Lucas and Lindsey get back together, or should he go to Payton?

venturellak @venturellak (37) • United States 16 Apr 08

I hope he chooses Payton. They are destined to be together, and he wrote 2 whole books about her! It's a no brainer, for me anyway.

crisrisl But who does he really love? High school Lucas loved Peyton, but does grown up Lucas love her in the same way?

Is it harder to make a twenty gallon tank work for your fish over a 10?

saralee1 @saralee1 (1983) • United States 7 Feb 07

I have always had the ten gallon tanks, because my father said too much time was necessary to make a larger tank work appropriately. however, I wonder if this is necessarily true? Do you need an extra heater for a 20 gallon?

crisrisl I agree. If you want a 20, get a 20. This in no way qualifies as a large aquarium. Your water changes will be slightly more in terms of gallons, but you have room for more fish and the tank is more stable because...more water=more stable, generally. A second...

Do you bother with rechargable batteries

shymurl @shymurl (2765) • United States 16 Apr 08

I have some rechargable batteries, but it seems that they never get recharged. I'm alway having to go out and get batteries. Does anyone here have rechargable batteries, or do you just go buy them when you need them??

crisrisl Yes, I use rechargeable batteries. Especially AA because they get used for everything. I have a rapid charger that is supposed to charge them in about 15 minutes, and honestly I don't notice much difference in battery life between them and non-rechargeable...

What if your child was gay?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 15 Apr 08

What would you do if you didn't suspect it at all and out of the blue your child one day said "mum/dad, I'm gay". I remember asking my father this a few years ago. I asked what he'd do if I told him i was gay. He said "I wouldn't...

crisrisl I would accept it. The most important thing is for them to be happy, and if they can't be who they naturally feel they are, that isn't fair. All we ever ask for is happiness and acceptance, and I would give them that. I would support them. I would also hope...

What do you do when religious people come to your door?

crisrisl Unfortunately...I answer the door and talk to them. I don't like doing it, especially because they ask a lot of questions, but the last time, it was a woman and a younger girl. I don't have the heart to say no or that I'm not interested or close the door. So I...
