My uncle died

dorannmwin @dorannmwin (36392) • United States 30 Nov 11

Okay, I have to point out the fact that he wasn't my uncle by blood, but instead my dad's little brother's partner. They'd been together since before I was born so I never thought of him as anything except for my uncle. I...

MizTeacherLady That is so tragic! Of course you would feel he is your uncle, just like any of your other aunts' or uncles' spouses. So sorry for your loss, and for the loss in your family! As for schools, I believe they will excuse you daughter without knowing where she is...

Can true love exist online?

yahnee @yahnee (1243) • Philippines 29 Nov 11

I recently joined an online dating site through a link sent by a friend. I met a guy from across the world and we have been exchanging emails. We have not had any chance to see each other because he claims he is too busy with work...

MizTeacherLady My husband and I met on an online dating site. It can work. BUT you must know each other. Truly. If he seems to have a secret part of his life you are not invited to share, be very wary. We talked on the phone and online for a every day for over a month before...

Occupy Wall Street is sitting on $450,000, yet not 1 penny for their victims

We all know about the destruction, violence and vandalism committed by the OWS mobs. It's no secret that they've broken windows at, and vandalized banks, fast food restaurants, local businesses, and grocery stores. A few food cart...

MizTeacherLady I'm very curious to know the source you are citing. What leaders have the money? Also, one of the comments on this thread asks if the OWS protesters realize that big business is responsible for their modern conveniences, and technology. To that I say, I don't...

Real Happiness is in helping others.

That's the title of my oratorical piece back in my high school years. Yeah, I'm one of those who used to memorize oratorical pieces and speeches, do school competitions and trying to win not only for the pride but also for the...

MizTeacherLady Nice. My oratory piece was Apathy: Another Epidemic. Was one of us a little more cynical than the other? :) Really I think we were both on the same track, though mine was a lot further in the past than yours. Both trying to get people to care, to find goodness...

Merry Christmas VS Happy Holdiays

teedelydoo2 @teedelydoo2 (97) • United States 27 Nov 11

I am sick of people telling Christians that saying Merry Christmas is politically incorrect! Why do these people insist on saying that "Merry Christmas", is offensive. Please tell what about that Phrase is offensive. If you don't...

MizTeacherLady I think you summed it up for yourself when you said,"If you don't know someone's religion and you are unsure of how to greet them, Happy Holidays is perfect." If you stick to that rule of thumb, how can you go wrong? If you are greeting people who you know...

When someone is not well educated blame belongs: parents, school, state, entourage or faith?

blame

education

MizTeacherLady Depends on individual circumstance. As for blaming the parents, under-educated parents can hardly be expected to educate a child beyond the parents' abilities. As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. We all play our role in the education of...

Giving a little to make amends, how far is too far?

Elizabeth White @Masihi (4413) • Canada 27 Nov 11

I'm a peacekeeper. Every time I speak up I basically make enemies. It's like some people in my life just - well, I really don't know what to call it. Okay, so some of you know that I had to block a former foster sister because...

MizTeacherLady Oh my goodness! You do not need the advise of someone who refuses to allow you to go by the name that brings you happiness. Anyone petty enough to refuse to acknowledge you unless you go by a name that brings you pain, is either someone who wants to hurt you,...
