The Marysville situation was and is going to be a terrible thing for the community to deal with. No matter how it comes out there are going to be bitter feeling for years. I worked for Marysville in 1999-2000 school year. I had retired from the Alaska system and got a job here. They needed math instructors...so we needed money and I took the job. Pay was fantastic, but I found out why. School size and class load was the some as where I taught in Alaska, but that is where it ended. My Alaskan job had high end blue collar workers and white collar workers in our school. Marysville was very low end with little or no interest in helping their children. I am used to parents that work with the teacher and student. Not so in Marysville. Example: OPEN HOUSE..I had a 17% turn out to visit with the teacher of your child. Parent Teacher conference time: 7% turn out. Needless to say the year I spent in Marysville was the worst experience in 25 years of education. I have a ton of accolades from students, parents and colleagues. I was one of those people that worked a ton of hours at schol and home to help students. I have students visiting me in the Lower 48 and writing to me to tell me where they are headed with their lives. I really loved teaching, but I did not like Marysville. To get a student thru the year takes a pound of flesh in that school district. Sure they are paid well but they earn it By the way if the district get what they want I would be looking at an 8,000 dollar cut in pay, middle of the road teachers will get about 5,000 dollar cut. How many of you sanctimonious scoundrels can take a pay cut like that. If you can maybe you should hire out to the Marysville School District to help.

Erik, I have found that when you tell the truth people either hate you or love you for it. Tell a lie and everyone loves you until you are found out. Then the shit hits the fan. I worked for a principal in Alaska that was like this. He was a lying fuck.

Here is a cheap costume: 1. Take off all clothes 2. Get one strip of paper birch 3. Cover groin 4. Now you are John Birch

Muffy, you're lucky. Go buy a lotto ticket. Its your lucky day.

Why, what for?

Statements that will almost guarantee you won't get any: "Oh, you had a bad day at work? Where's my dinner?" "Are you retaining water this week?" "I was only kidding . . . " "Are you feeling ok? You look like shit." "I'll be right up after the Simpsons, OK?"

Good read. Check out this web site on Ed Gein and many others. http://www.houseofhorrors.com/gein.htm

I know some Canadian(Vanderhoff, BC) loggers that love to initiate a new logger in camp by doing the following. They remove the chain but leave the bar on. They wait until the newbie has his back turned to them that is when they crank up the saw and swing the bar up between the new boy's legs. Gets a laugh and the newbie gets the hazing over nice and quick.

Hey AK that is a sweet ice climbing ride. Positive traction for sure!

There are a ton of hats like that and better at the Fur Rondy in Anchorage. Hell, I have a beaver hat that I can only wear if its -30 F degrees or colder, or if I am driving my snow machine. Best part I trapped my own beaver, skinned it out, my wife tanned it and made me the hat. If you want hats like that PM me and I can put you in contact with some Wasilla-Palmer people I know that trap and hunt. They have coyote, wolf, beaver, muskrat, lynx, bear etc. Or if ya guts the BIG money I can get in touch with a few natives I know and they can get you a deal on some seal hats or some awesome seal coats. AND THIS AIN'T NO TROLL BOYS AND GIRLS. Great event give it time to load. http://www.alaska.net/~design/scenes/rondy/rondy.html This year Rondy begins Friday, February 14 and ends on the 28. If you are up there ice climbing make sure you attend. Good food, good beer, and all the ugly girls get naked to protest the fur. I could never understand why all the ugly ones get naked. Very confusing.

A study in Wisconsin showed that the kind of male face a woman finds attractive can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For instance, if she is ovulating she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. If she is menstruating, she is more prone to be attracted to a man with scissors shoved in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while he is on fire. Further studies are expected.

Like I said I never read the articles. If he is guilty of a crime then he needs to go to court and defend himself. If found guilty then its off to the Big House with Otis.

Got another one. Three of us were doing some a smallish wall in the mid 70's. The big guy, an engineer for SMC, had the most money so he was sporting a need "Goretex jacket". He was the last guy coming up on the jumars. I was cleaning and getting near the other guy. Anyway the leader has to take a major piss. So he starts to hose. The guy below yells up at me, "Hey, its a good thing I have my new Goretx on its starting to rain." The leader hearing this goes into maniacal laughter as do I. The Goretex guy looks up and is wondering why we are laughing a rain coming down as we still have 4 pitches to the top. Names not added to protect the innocent.

I am a right winger, but an addict is an addict. He needs to get on with a program for his addiction. I don't have the time to read all the material you posted, but if he is blaming other etc. then he needs to look in the mirror.

A buddy of mine was real drunk one night. Got up to piss. "Accidently" went into his wife's closet and pissed all over her shoes. I guess they were having problems and this was a few months prior to their divorce.

I piss where ever the stall or urinal is vacant. Actually I agree with the other guy...the dumpsters are much better. Less piss on the floor.

OH, God, Its like being struck blind. Where I live there seems to be an abundance of spandex wearing fatties. Its horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask a farmer and you get one answer. Ask a house wife and you will learn the difference. Ask a geologist and you get confused.

Dru should know!

Aren't most rock, ice and alpine climbers dirt bags anyway? (With the exception of course being the .comers from the PNW and Silcon Valley)

naw, we need to have an issue and fat assed haggard women are the topic of pain today. Pear shapes need to work their thighs and push away from the table

heading to Walmart no doubt. No, Trask, she is about 16 and going to a class next to the math class that I am teaching. It really scares me. The males and females of this era are so out of shape and lard assed. What the hell are they going to do when they reach my age?

This is true. I went to only one class reunion #20. The women on the most part looked older than the male counter parts and they seems more bitter about things.

I just saw a woman with a beer belly wearing low cut jeans, and a hi-cut shirt walking down the street....yuk. Get a clue, if you're fat dress to hide it.

this is weak................Is there a topic that we have not aruged into the ground that can't be resurrected? Or maybe a new topic of interest? I am at a loss.... Dogs and bears....not emotional enough of a topic to gather sides. Guns...done too much and everyone has already spewed their spray Drugs and sex...hell everyone on this site is into some kind of kink so that's a no brainer SUV and other shit like that...again aruged into the ground We need a new topic of interest that has not been beat to death.
