Uh, No I'm Not Pregnant But Thanks For Asking

Ever been asked a question you wish you hadn't?

Why is it that some people who don't know you at all insist on asking stupid questions like..."When are you due?" And of course you are not pregnant!

I went to the supermarket this morning and as I am checking out the cashier asks me, "Why don't you shop on Tuesdays?" I curiously ask, "Why is Tuesday a good day to shop?" The cashier responds, "Because Tuesdays you can get a senior discount!"  

Now if this conversation were taking place one day many, many, many, many years in the future I would have jumped for joy to learn of a new way to save money. But considering I am only 46 years old....and you need to be 60 to get the senior discount...the only thing I am jumping for...or from...is out the nearest window.

Yeesh people...think before you speak! There's a very good reason the saying "Open mouth insert foot" was coined. It was coined for you. On my way to B.J.'s now for among other things, beer...Praying the cashier there asks me for proof that I am 21.  Now that would make my day. : )

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
