"The page is a lot simpler and lighter, which means it will load quickly." Except that the sidebar of articles on the right won't load for me? Soooo...no, so far it's not easier but I will be patient and go find another blog to read for a few days while I wait.

Wow. Well done, Zach. Beautifully said and with so much humanity. I have tears in my eyes.

I so love that this articulate and intelligent little girl is showing off her brilliance...while wearing Hello Kitty pajamas.

@Zulkey: Or the press!

@Bathorie: I had kindergartners wet themselves in my classroom because a 30 min music lesson was too long for them to hold it. Add the problem that the kid only asked to go to the bathroom about three seconds before "breaking point," as it were, and I had a puddle.

@MagsCO: Tell him that LadySoprano at Jezebel lost 60 pounds, still has a hard time getting a date, and is on unemployment.

@oaktree89: Yeah, I laughed at that one. It's actually good advice!

@Miss C: P.S. Wasn't taking away from your point about EMTs. They are most often really awesome and really great at comforting a person while taking care of that person's injuries or illness.

@Miss C: We could say the same thing about teachers!
