I just remember reading about him "going off the deep end" and thought about if it could happen again.

If you use a good line from the get-go you won't need a line conditioner.

I think you have selected a topic with not a lot of hard evidence and should look else where if this is being graded on content and not mechanics.

Has anything else been said about...well....his sanity?

Think his liver finally shut down?

I should also note that after the kid was suspended for the 45-days, he brought a knife into school about a week after returning and was involved in a fight with another student. After being suspended once again for that and possibly being expellied, he hung himself. Once again, this happened in 6th grade, I believe we were all 9 and 10 years old.

Around rocks yes, it is less abrasion resistant, around wood, braid will slice through the wood instead of getting frayed.

I have never been to a school cafeteria that did not give out plastic knives. I just believe it is a loosing situation for all parties involved but the child did do something wrong and the parents are wrong for starting this whole thing about their kid being innocent. And there is a big difference in punching someone in the face and slitting their throat with a pocket knife. A pocket knife is still a weapon no matter what you say. I was stabbed by a kid with a sewing needle in home-economics in 6th grade ( it was a mandatory class : ) and so were eleven others. So I had to go for blood-work every month for the next year because of things like AIDS and Hepatitis. And since I'm anemic and have very low-blood pressure, the after-effects are not fun. I just don't find this a joke or an over reaction. Everyone finds it an over reaction until something happens to your kid.

Get ready to keep replacing ball joints. : Why do you want to put a six or eight inch lift on a truck you drive everyday? That $1500 could be a down payment on a newer truck. Which you could be needing soon given that it is a 1993.

Sounds like a good day to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off..

Good to see you have not been completely brain washed by Bizzle's hippie ways...

Is this over the top and a crazy punishment? yes Did the student break the rules? yes Should the parents be held 100% responsible? ABSOLUTELY Think about if your child was in a fight at school and the child they were in a fight with, took the knife from this kid, and stabbed your kid with it. Granted they are only 6 years old, but I'm sure everyone would want some justice. And this is not a crazy and unimaginable scenario. Things like this happen everyday. Open and shut case. He broke a rule and deserves to be punished. If anything a 45 day suspension isn't good enough because most look at suspension as a "vacation", I know I did. IMO...the worst part is the parents

A tree-hugging one at that...

Good luck

x2 If you havent signed anything waiving the right to go after them for your possessions being stolen or vandalized go after them. I want to hear more about this... :-?

No way! That means Manny would get another ring. ;D GO Rockies!!!! lol

That's classic.... I think you should win a ribbon for that post.

Oh stop being a bandwagon fan. When the Sox swept the Yankees twice you were ready to jump ship... ;D

Mama said when coons get on the back porch just chase dem' off with a broom...

Yup, Ant is supplying free alcohol...lol

It's sad what the excess Franzia has done to you. ;D I can't stand tipping for counter service. But my girl friend works part-time at Dunkin Donuts and she does great because of tips, so she is all for it. Therefore I must. She is still at URI full time but makes shift leader pay and can actually count on bringing home an extra $20-$30 a shift in tips. So it is like she works an extra 25 hours a week. I have zero issue making her pay for dinner every now and then.

This is the best time of year for Watuppa. Just fish where ever the wind is with a spinnerbait and target rocks with a jig. You can nail some nice 3-3.5 pound smallies this time of year there. 8-)

Is it bad BR is the only way we have communicated in about a week? ;D

He snagged it off a bed. ;D

LOL
