My daughter's first grade teacher embraced me at the end of the school year and said, "I wish all the parents were like you."

I remember my daughter's 2nd grade teacher...a real gruff, stern woman, telling me at the beginning of the school year's first parent teacher conference that I was her favorite parent and that's why she was glad I was her first conference of the year.

"Such beauty as you have makes my mind quake with the sheer delight of seeing pure loveliness embodied in a funny, sarcastic and sexy angel"
I love it, even though it still doesn't make any sense. A guy sent me it in a love letter, a few months ago. Those are his exact words. I wonder if he's still alive... *is beautiful, but still a dog for not finding out*

They've often included: "You're an Angel", "Is there anything you can't do?", and plenty of "Thanks".
The majority of negative comments come almost entirely from girlfreinds. I seem to seek fairly intense challenging egos who won't let me forget that there's a world that isn't in the palm of my hand. My current one will go on a rave about egocentric westerners basing global coordinates on 'North'.
The world is a lovely fascinating place beyond compare. Nice Survey.

I had a friend who was depressed and began taking overdoses of painkillers whenever she felt particularly low. She told some friends who found it funny and advised her not to tell me because I'd "take it too seriously and lecture her." I found out anyway. And I did take it seriously, but that was what she needed. It helped her.

Almost a year later we were doing preparation for national exams (Key stage 3 - Year 9). One of the English mocks that we sat, asked us to write about one person who has had an important effect on your life. I found out later that my friend wrote about me. It touched me more than I can ever begin to describe.

That sounds familiar. Where might you have heard that recently?
btw, You obviously have a knack for cake decorating; Have you considered that as a career.
I'm glad I didn't give PeLe too much attention. We had lots of volcano action on the news as in Phillipines and Italy.

From you of course!! I could probably decorate the cake but bake it ?? that's a whole different story.
Yeah have you noticed that too? I'm kinda expecting Mauna Loa Or Kilauea to blow soon.Well now you've been gone for a few days now!I was thinking maybe I should've made your name a shade darker.It might have been way to light for your liking.

Not at all, it's perfect. Cleaning my house all week has been sort of dark though. Obligation seems to interfere with life. I'm sure you could bake it too, it's the temptation to eat it you might be concerned with. I guess it's bewb for tat compliment fishing.

I don't trust myself. I've already blown it with my (D) last weekend.I'm so mad at myself for that. * frown * I'm playing catch up right now,as we speak. Besides,the cake would have to be rock hard for me to decorate.Decorating styro foam is no big deal,but cake?? I just don't know. I was thinking of sending Love Light & heyzus1 a baby decoration with their baby's stats on the diaper.

You decorate cakes? So does my sister in law. *family brag mode=on* She's awesome. She did my 25th birthday cake all in turquoise and green flowers. She also did this great big huge 3 tier wedding cake, with the steps in it. *family brag mode=off* I saw a really nice looking cake in excite photos, but I can't find it now. It looked just like a present, and had bows molded from chocolate.

Wow your sister-in-law is the bomb!! It takes great artistic talent, to decorate cakes.Your so lucky! Ooooooh,whenever anyone describes food,in detail to me,I get so excited.

Joalis,if you e-mail me your address,I'll send you,your name sculpted from a piece of styro foam,in your favorite color(s).Pick two favorite colors,as I might not have your first color choice,on hand at the time.You will be,only the second person here,at SC to get their name in sculpted styro foam.

I made one in lavender for Krystal,after I had given it to her,I thought to myself, "Hummm,too light,too light,ding bat Cleo,you should have made it a shade darker,it's too light!"
