Y'know, it's easy to yell at the school officials.

But that "measly $5000 a year" is a lot when they are chronicly underfunded. Teachers shouldn't have to buy basic school supplies out of their truly meager pay, nor teach large classes. Instead of yelling at how horrible it is that the schools are doing this, why not ask why they feel they have to do this?

And an older, but related article.

And an article on abstinence...

Important to Americans, I think.

*is very amused*

I think the best one has to be "Just Fac It". *giggles*

The deleted journal message...

No wonder we get so many support requests about this! Here I was, getting angry at them for misreading the FAQ (which clearly does NOT say that your journal will be purged 30 days after deletion) and look what it says on the page of the deleted journals themselves:

Deleted Account
Deleted

This journal has been deleted. If you are ********, you have a period of 30 days from the deletion time to undelete the journal. After 30 days we will delete all content permanently from our servers.

Lies! Vicious lies!

Now, to whom do I complain?

I've noticed that some of my friends have recently started with the whole support thing...

And that's good. That's great. Love you guys. Let me point you in the direction of some good, useful resources.

The support guide. Very useful, very important, go read it.

helpscreening. Also good, and useful. Nice if you want to ask a question.

supportlounge. The most important support comm there is :)

lj_support. Yeah. Go read that. You're supposed to, anyway.

And, of course, Supportoffice, which is very useful when getting enough links together for a review.

Thank the nice people in supportlounge

I'd like this link very much, except for one small problem...

Those aren't homonyms. They're homophones. Get it right!

Got problems?

The answer is cheeses.

I have been much too amused by get fuzzy lately. It does not merit this. My apologies.

Interestingly, it should be noted that Socrates' Apology wasn't an apology in our sense of the word, it was an Apologia, or a legal defense. So instead of calling it "The Apology" we should really call it "The Defense", but we don't because of the cognate thing. Even though it's wrong.

Whee, I'm linking to everything today!

Sorry.

Got this off of a few comms. Very political, of course.

*spins round and round and round*

I'm sure he's joking....

Go read. Unless you're eating.

Oh dear god he's NOT!

*cracks up laughing*

I need this. I really do.

The tooth fairy...

On conspiracy theories.

He's wrong anyway. We all know that this is a crazy plot by the Illuminati to cover up their connection with the Martians.

Okay, I promise, I'll stop updating, or at least post something with more substance!

I'm horribly late with this assignment....

( Eloise and Abelard )

( And my pitifully incomplete translation (so far) )

I have way too many friends.

Many of these are communties or defunct.

Can youse guys do me a favor, 1. tell me if you think I have a friend I should take off the list, 2. tell me if you changed to a new journal and can/should take the old one off the list and 3. post so I know you're still around, because with most of you, it's hard to keep track - sorry. A lot of people here, I don't really know. Or they're not people.

Never let me get started telling jokes.

Light bulb jokes!
