Ran into my ex's former best friend the other night.....:)

[Teacher's Pet]

I am warm, funny, cheerful, and attractive to boot. Would we meet in person, you'd be drueling. Unfortunately for you, I'd have to turn you down though.

 

Now, would you be turning me down before or after breakfast?

BJ, are you Paris with a new user Id?

OMG! I was going to ask that!

 

Like they say, great minds think alike.

I like my eggs over easy too! See how I can see the light humor in life? As you know, my heart belongs to another, but if he does me wrong, I'm Jersey bound! (I don't see that happening, but I didn't see most of my past happening, either.)

[Storyrider]

Haha. Well, we may never know for sure whether they are the same person or not.

they are......

[Teacher's Pet]

Do you have a masters degree, TP?

 

Nope, but I've been called the Love Doctor..... *corny groan*

 

Her income as a teacher isn't based on her performance, as you have just admitted. Lots of teachers don't yet have their masters, she can always strive to work for that. For all you know, she is.

 

She graduated college in her late 20's. She only WENT to college because her father MADE her go when she was about 25, as a means to end her life of "partying". It was "go to college, or consider yourself cut off". She herself admits she's a "bad student", but just pushed herself to get through college to appease her father. As I've said, she gets through life doing the minimum.

 

Though of course, doing me meant doing the maximum.

 

I'm not going to sit here and say I have had a great education. I was a horrible student in high school. I never finished college. But you know what? While I didn't get "the book smarts", I learned the value of a hard day's work, whether I was waiting tables to pay off my student loans, or most recently, busting my ass as a sales rep for a billion-dollar marketing firm. A person's job and/or title means little to me. I'm more impressed by the single mother working 3 jobs to feed her kids, than by an MBA who's daddy got him into Harvard.

 

Being educated is a great thing, but being a PRODUCTIVE member of society is more important. No one remembers you for your degrees, they remember you for what you gave back to society.

 

I don't even have an associates degree, but I have pride in my work, and strive to be the best at what I do, even when I was waiting tables for $3 an hour, I made sure I was the BEST damned $3 an hour waiter there was. I never settle for "getting by" at any job I have. You teach me the job I need to do, I'm already thinking "how do I become YOUR boss in one year?" Even as a bartender, I'm already thinking NYC nightclub management. I don't settle, I strive. There is a new entertainment complex opening in Manhattan this spring, and I've decided that instead of trying to get in as a bartender (which I should be able to), I'm going right for the top. If I don't get the position, well, it's because I might not have enough management experience or whatever, but I refuse to not TRY.

 

I hope, for my ex's sake, that she at least got THAT much from our relationship.

Well, DDL, you know you'd be most welcome here.

 

You can be my #3 Girl.

 

Of course, that rank may improve, should one or both of the other 2 not pan out...

 

Just think, you have a chance at THIS.

at what?

[AriaIncognito]

I got to page 4 of this thread before I was so insanely pissed off that I have to write.

 

BJ - I really dont know where you get off. Why are you telling someone else how he should be coping? Who the f are you to be judging who he is, or how he is getting over someone. Why do you care that it's been 9 months and he's not totally over her. What difference does it make to you? Quite frankly, if you dont want to read his posts, by all means, skip them. Skip mine too while you're at it, but please, dont tell someone how you think they should cope, AD NAUSEUM. He understood the words the first time you typed them. Repeating the same garbage over and over again doesn't make it any more his reality, and really will only win you more enemies here.

 

It's all well and good that you are trying to "help" tp with coping with his loss, but in my opinion, you should allow him to do it his way, without placing your judgements on him. If he wants to bash his ex, so be it. It's not like she's not free to do the exact same thing to him, if she wanted to.

 

Alright i've got to stop before I explode. Go ahead, bash me too for sticking up for him, but he's my friend (on here AND in real life) so I'm not about to let someone just tell him how to live without jumping in and defending him.

[Teacher's Pet]

FW....

 

Will you marry me?

 

*puppy dog eyes*

 

I KNEW somehow you'd find your way to this thread eventually.

I've been less than patiently waiting for you, ariawoman, but tp has been doing fine on his own, IMO:p

And no offense, but if you're a teacher, you might want to go back to school for English. It's DROOLING. Amazing.

I called her out on that quickly, because I am an expert on drooling.

 

Speaking of which, when are we playing Spin The Bottle again? :)

today's spun bottle means tomorrow's hidden salamis.

Yeah i've been a bit remiss with LS lately. Dealing with my own version of "coping" which probably isn't very good, but hey, I'd not judge anyone over it ;-)

Yeah if i wasn't so angered by the posts I wouldn't have replied before reading the entire thread lol. I just...I got all kinds of enraged! I don't like when people step on people I care about. Not happening.

 

Now I'll go back to not being over MY ex, and well, I know LS won't judge me for it.

[Teacher's Pet]

You're doing great, my dear.

 

Anyone who can play Spin The Bottle in a crowded restaurant, especially with the people we hang out with, can't be doing all bad.

she has nice lips. there, i said it.

You have more to offer than most of us considering your personal advantage.

Still, I didn't base my opinions of the OP on your posts concerning him.

 

I recognize a great guy when I see one (that's a new recognition for me. )

 

Love the tp!

still got your back

Dropdead, yes, teachers aren't perfect. Occasionally I made a spelling error. Gasp! I actually have this discussion with students from time to time. No one is perfect, we're all only human. You're a parent, instead of being on this board reading this right now you might want to go spend some time with your kids. Teach them something about how to behave themselves so their teachers will have time to teach them something useful instead of having to spend time on managing your children's behavior. Then they won't come to class craving the attention from adults that they aren't getting at home because Mom's on the internet all the time. I wouldn't usually make assumptions, but since you did make assumptions about my teaching skills, I had to make some about your parenting skills, also.

[bridget_jones]

From what you've posted, you haven't had a lot of offers lately.

Not sure if you were telling me to dropdead, or referencing DDL. I dont have any kids. So I'm not missing out on anything. Unless you're saying my cat gets offended if i dont play with her at 2am, I think I'm doing alright. As for DDL if you're referring to her, well, if she's bothering her kids at that hour of the night, I'd call her a bad parent too. So, I'd be careful what assumptions you make as well.

[Teacher's Pet]

I am currently "courting" 2 very lovely young ladies, though it's no business of yours.

 

I can always make room for a 3rd, of course.

 

Someone has to hold the camera.

[Art_Critic]

BJ, are you Paris with a new user Id?

 

Bullseye....I was thinking that this was more about the fact that his ex is a teacher than his breakup...

[Art_Critic]

BJ.. this isn't a thread about Teachers and their uphill battle in the real world..

 

You seem to have taken things a bit to personally and the teacher thing..

 

I think you need to speak with this issue with your therapist

[Teacher's Pet]

Bullseye....I was thinking that this was more about the fact that his ex is a teacher than his breakup...

 

Ya know what?

 

I've "talked" to Paris a few times in PM's in the past.

 

Assuming this is her, kinda makes it funny.

 

Just like my ex, nice one day (she was always nice to me in PM's, even though a lot of people had problems with her), a raging (insert the forbidden word here) the next.

 

Wow, 2 teachers with the same personality disorder.

 

And this is why the US Education System is so far behind the rest of the world.

 

And just think, once upon a time, I wanted to *become* a teacher because I thought I might make a difference.

 

-tp

hey, teacher, leave us kids alone!

[CrossRhodes]

You're out of line. Is this another example of your famous "earned misogyny"?

[bridget_jones]

I addressed it to DDL because she picked at my misspelling of one word and made the assumption of my teaching ability...so I made an assumption of her as a parent.

Also TP pointed out the misspelling, and if you look through his original post, there are some misspelled words, as well as a grammar error or two. He made a joke that he wouldn't date someone who's dumb enough as to misspell one word.

So...I was responding to DDL's logic that because I misspelled one word that makes me not good at my job, just like just because she is not with her kids 24/7 doesn't make her a bad mother.

Get it now?
