Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2005THIS KIND OF STUFF HAS GOT TO STOP IN OUR COUNTRY
THIS KIND OF STUFF HAS GOT TO STOP IN OUR COUNTRY We Must Stop This Immediately! Have you noticed that Stairs are getting steeper. Groceries are heavier. And, everything is farther awa y.. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had become! And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip reader? I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't even recognize me. I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own refection.........Well, REALLY NOW-even mirrors are not made the way they used to be! Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them.. All I can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them screech and swerve in my rear view mirror. Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would they suddenly start labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do they think no one notices that these things no longer fit around the waist, hips, thighs, and bosom? The people who make bathroom scales are pulling the same prank, but in reverse. Do they think I actually "believe" the number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that much! Just who do these people think they're fooling? I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on -- but the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in here! All I can do is pass along this warning: We are under attack! Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these awful indignities. PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!

ROFLOL It's really strange when I look in a mirror and see this little old gray haired woman staring back at me. I wonder who she is.

School is going ok, though. I'm currently carrying a 3.5 grade average (a B+/A-). I thought math would be my weak point, but it seems to be biology. Pam S. who's planning her next semester classes Lots of purrs and best wishes for your health problems and congrats on your school work!

Uni level - think that was where you were at. 3.5 is not bad at all. Wish I was able to said that was mine. Hope the fungus clears up Diet - that is die with a "T" dave >What level courses are we talking about? >Uni level - think that was where you were at. >3.5 is not bad at all. Wish I was able to said that was mine. >Hope the fungus clears up >Diet - that is die with a "T" If you've got diabetes it's diet or die. Your body can't manage carbohydrate metabolism automatically any more so you have to do the job yourself. Counting exchanges is the pits, but the alternative is not pleasant. >>What level courses are we talking about? >>Uni level - think that was where you were at. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > job yourself. Counting exchanges is the pits, but the alternative is > not pleasant. I know. I have another appointment with the Dr tomorrow to get the rest of my blood test results. I don't expect to be a happy camper. In the last week I was able to lower my blood results by over 100 points with diet and medication. I've put myself on a low carb diet. Of course this means that the kids insist on cooking spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, and other high carb foods.

Between that and the meds I'm on, the blood sugars are back to the mid 200s from 365. I'm also at the community college, which is not only fun, but I'm doing well enough. I'd forgot how hard it can be to be disciplined enough to get to my classes with so much space between them. I love my teachers (at the community college level, they have master's degrees, not doctorates) and wouldn't mind teaching at that level, except that they make you teach 4-6 classes a day.

I think you mean 4-6 classes per week... about the only way you could end up with 4-6 per day is if you taught ONLY lab classes, and taught an overload on top of that. I teach 3 lecture and 3 lab sections each week which is a pretty typical schedule in the sciences. If I didn't have the labs I'd teach 5 lectures (it takes 3 lab classes to roughly equal two lectures). Each class meets twice per week (M/W or T/Th schedule), so I teach 3 classes per day Monday through Thursday. While the teaching load at the community colleges is higher than at the university, we're not pressured to publish or to do research, although we can get release time from teaching to do so. Our primary responsibility is to teach. Oh, and about half of the instructors at my college do have PhDs... in my department there are 4 full time instructors- two have master's degrees, two have doctorates; this is pretty typical. Before I got hired full-time I was a "freeway flyer", teaching part time on several community college and one university campuses. I have to say that I MUCH prefer the atmosphere at the community colleges. It's friendlier, the faculty isn't as cut-throat (we're not competing with each other for grants and other resources) and you get a chance to know your students since the classes are smaller.

It sucks, bigtime. Whatever happened to my lovely thick hair that I used to be so proud of?? It's gotten so thin on top. I tease my sister because she's gone grey before I did (and she's younger, nyah nyah), but now she can tease me because I'm going BALD!! Argh.

It's even worse than you think! It's happening in this country (USA) too. Joy |
