Now add in the cost of fuel to bus these children - do you think this is any better financially? I don't think so. Sadly in Arkansas we have a bunch of yahoos that have never set foot in a classroom as an educator making these educational decisions. This is ridiculous.
That's terrible.

I am sick of men who cannot make up their minds. Some of them can be worse than a new mother planning the first nursery or a neurotic young lady planning her dream wedding.

I think they should think of it in terms of 'How far are you willing to drive to work every day?" Most people won't drive more than an hour, so I think anything over an hour long bus ride home is excessive. Not only that they should think about how much time the bus driver is on the road. He is bus driver, not a cross country truck driver. If a bus driver is tired and exhausted from driving this raises the risk of an accident involving the bus and the children on the bus. According to that route I was talking about the driver will be driving for at least 12 hours of the day if it is a 3 hour ride one way.

This cycle is getting old. I need a better job to move out and be much happier than where I am living when its three against one. My dad favors my sis in law over his own daughter.

Let me vent.... Last night, I was looking on Craiglist for some awnings for my mobile home. Found some used ones. This guy and I exchanged some emails and still he hasn't given me an address. In the end, he want my phone number to talk some more. When he found out that there is an interpreter on the phone, he hung up! I shot off an email to him asking why he hung up (just one question - nothing more). He said he didn't like the guy between us. Still no address from him. This morning I sent him another email that I am trying my luck elsewhere.

I ordered some PJ's online back on 4/3 and paid with my debit card knowing the money was in the account. I wait and wait for the items to arrive. I checked online today and find the order was cancelled with no explanation. I call and their excuse is that I have an outstanding bill with them. that's crap, since I paid the bill and have not received any bills or statements in the mail for 3 months. AcK!!!! This is pissing me off!!

I hate these weekly tornado warnings. I read on FB where the sirens were going off in town and I did not hear them.

I hate being a woman sometimes.

I'd love to disappear so that I don't have to deal with all the emotions I'm going through alone. But time will heal.

I feel I disapper a little more each day I am alone....
I know that feeling..smile..don't get me wrong, sometimes i like not being bothered, but geez I miss the feeling of a man holding me, kissing my neck , telling me everything will be OK....being alone and being lonely are so different..I don't wish I was a man. I just think falling asleep in someones arms, knowing they are there to help me work thru whatever problem comes up..is....is.....a chance for me to really let go and relax. Smiling, and yes
time will help heal all things...my fear is that my time will run out before I get a chance to experience that connection that allows me to unburden myself for just a little while....I wish you Peace...Midnight♥♥♥

I had always wondered about that. How do the communities with the sirens ensure that their deaf/hoh residents are made aware of them?

I don't know but I think as small as our town is if there was a known deaf/hh residence they would make it a point to make sure the people are notified via face-to-face contact if they are home. I will look into this further. It would be nice if our town had some sort of 'text alert' that automatically sends it to your phone notifying you that the tornado sirens are going off. It could be sent from 911 dispatch or something.

I'm SO annoyed that I'm ...what I consider " normal " in my personality, friendly and open minded and men take that as a " omfg I can screw this girl! " Approaching me because you like my personality then just jumping from there to " I want to phuck you " it's not a good way to meet a woman. I am so freaking annoyed that I am just myself and all they want is get to know my body but not to get to know ME. GO TO HELL, PERV! Grrr...
