both of our starters sucked though, that's my takeaway from the game
4-0 lead after an inning from the rays and they couldn't hold it for even 2 innings. rivera just blew today.
Fair 'nuff. Still feeling good though.
Gonna be a great season.
I tell ya, I've been a Rays fan since they were first made a team and I got my little Devil Rays booklet from the pizza hut book it campaign, and it is great that they don't suck anymore.
oh yeah I'd feel good if the yanks had hung on for sure, didn't mean to take the win away from you just trying to make myself feel a little better :P
C'mon, guys, join that room. You get to play whatever music you want, and I'll listen to it. It's like when you post youtubes all over chat, but it'll actually work. We'll start playing once a few people get in there.

I clicked log in with facebook 500 times and nothing happened. I gotta get to bed soon anyway but that's something I'd do on another night for sure.

The reasonable articulation is that incompletes only last so many weeks after the term ends. And most new mothers who have done this in the past ended up never completing the work in the designated time because they had a new baby to raise. Given that she's 30+ weeks pregnant, she had to sign up while pregnant.
Basically, she signed up for the class knowing that, if her pregnancy went well, she most likely wouldn't finish the class.
That, to me, seems like an odd thing to do. It's not terrible. But I don't quite understand the thinking that supports such an action.
Though, maybe this student will be an exception to the rule, and after giving birth she'll crack open her ethics book.

maybe she didn't realize she wouldn't be able to do it?
and then later either she can do it or she'll find she can't and take it from there
I'll give her the incomplete without a problem. Cause, you know, it would be practically problematic for me to deny her the incomplete. Practically? She gets the incomplete without any questions being asked.
But in principle? It kind of grinds my gears a bit. Not that I'm down on women. I'm down on students signing up for classes the completion of which they take to be optional.
I have the same feeling about other incompletes I have to give out. And my guess is that if I vented about those, I wouldn't be accused of being sexist.

Winky you could go as a someone with self respect and wear slacks, a button up and a tie

That's very likely. I've had some friends, and past students, do the same thing. They're going to be the female who can carry a fetus to term and work a job and go to school. But then it doesn't work out because carrying a fetus to term is an incredibly difficult task.
I'm not sure if they underestimate how difficult pregnancy is, or overestimate their own abilitites. Maybe both.
It's just a pet peeve I have.

I'm turning into an old man. There were teenagers in Wal-Mart tonight with their girlfriends in the buggies and they were running up and down the aisles and drifting around the corners, throwing random shit in their buggies. One of their other friends was riding around in one of the handicapped scooters.
I just wanted to punch them until they stopped feeling.

Pregnancy can be variable on the degree it stresses the body. There are shit tons of factors attached to it. And for some they can work into the 8th month others can't.

Why?

Maybe. I don't think it would if you tell it not to.
It's pretty sweet, though.

Your room hates non Americans.
For the same reason that Sophie C. Currier pissed me off.
Pregnancy oughtn't be an excused absence.
Because condoms.
That's idiotic and anti-feminist. Women shouldn't need to set their lives aside if they want to have a child.
You're not dumb, you know you're being sexist, knock it off.
_J_ you are being a sexist jerk here.
If I was at home I could use my VPN but I'm at work so no go

I really want to give The Secret World a try buuuuuut between Funcom and a monthly fee I cant do it.
I've got the wig for Ezrael.
But if I went as Finn it would fit with Patty's theme (her and her sister are doing Princess Bubblegum and Marceline).
And if I went as Lupin it would fit with Mike's theme (he's going as Jigen).
But I kind of want to go as Raz from psychonauts.
Or I could go as something else?

I'm mostly just venting.

Ludious I happen to dress really nice.

Winky it was a joke.
True. I'm probably making a bad abduction.
Bad, bad abduction! Naughty abduction!
but just... think about how you say things I guess. 'pregnancy ought not be an excuse' isn't going to go over well with lots of people.

Human bodies, pretty damn annoying that way.
Ludious I am aware, and text did not accurately convey my intended tone of "pretending to not look hurt".
That's fair. My phrasing could have been better.
I need to be more careful / thoughtful when venting.
But the e-mail just showed up and I thought, "God damn it; not again!"
Winky why do we keep addressing each other in this manner?
I get ya
I'm off to bed for real, goodnight everyone
