Totally have removed the thong and thrown them in my bag during a night out. Although I don't go commando at work, because I wear dresses but work with children.

I'm convinced that this is it. My ass eats panties (ugh, I hate that word!) too. Thongs are much more comfortable for me. At night I just go commando, I think you have to let your vagine breathe every now and then. She likes to be free.

THIS. Love, a 5'2" girl with a 24" waist and 37" hips with a huge bubble butt. My favorites are the comments that "oh you don't have a big butt" because I'm petite everywhere else, and their doubt when I tell them my actual jean size or what a nightmare it is to find pants that fit those proportions. Just because I'm…

HAHAHA. That's funny. My waist is 24", my hips are a 37". I am a tiny girl with a huge butt and hips. Finding pants is a nightmare, as is finding full coverage undies. I have the same problem as the original poster. Those of us who are blessed with a very bubbly butt yet a tiny waist have this problem no matter WHAT…

Charter school? I've never been the only person in a building before school started, since everyone is usually frantically getting things set up. I'm recruiting my parents and my sister to help me set up my classroom this year, though my father will totally bail on me at some point during setup because he is the most…

No it absolutely can be joked about. Especially with stories like these, I mean, come on, how can we NOT make jokes? My point was more about the current education reform policies and the scapegoating of teachers for a lot of other underlying issues in this nation (aka poverty mostly). The media LOVES bashing teachers,…

Completely agree with EVERYTHING that you said. I'm special ed certified too, BTW. Totally know about the whole 2% thing. Nodded my head this entire comment. You nailed every single thing that I always say.

I can't decide if you're just a troll, or a short male troll, but I'm going to go with option B.

Many people can't rent an apartment without first consulting flood zone maps. I grew up on an island my whole life, the school I work in is literally 3 blocks from the ocean and...ugh. You know what, this conversation is going nowhere. I am not even going to address some of the points you brought up because they won't…

70 grand a year is not a lot of money with a MS + 30 living on Long Island. That shit doesn't go very far, especially if you have a family. I don't know the location you're in, but I am just taking the salaries from the area I'm familiar with. For the record though, if you bitched to me about traveling two weeks…

Never said that, and if you look, I was just explaining the thought process of another commenter. I was able to read the article and not give that line a second thought, because I actually read here frequently and have a sense of humor.

Most aren't parents, but some are.

I have 32 in my class. I teach 5th now, but when I was subbing, hands DOWN the hardest grade out of all of them was a full day in Kindergarten lol.

Please point to the sentence where I said "I had it tougher than you". I never ONCE said that. My points were to illustrate that you were comparing apples to oranges when you mentioned being an adjunct professor. That isn't the same as the teaching that most people are talking about. I never said that office work was…

Please don't forget Mr. Sketch markers. Also, just stalked your commenting history, and I was an anxious child/now completely anxious adult. Couldn't sleep in 4th grade because I didn't know where to apply to college and was convinced I wouldn't get into college due to a passing comment that a family member made to me…

To be fair, there is a totally different amount of work that goes into being an adjunct professor vs. an elementary school teacher full time. An elementary school teacher teachers all subjects, has the kids all day, can't leave the room to pee when they have to, typically barely shoves food in their mouths as they're…

I know it doesn't mean much, kind stranger on the internet, but your comment made me smile. Thank you. I raise my wine glass to you right now, as I sit here cutting freshly laminated vocabulary cards at almost 10 pm in bed.

That is the BEST. That, and the smell of Staples. As in, the office supply store and not the actual metal things used to fasten paper together.

Sorry, I jumped the gun a bit :( The media and education reformers LOVE to blame teachers/a "failing" school system for our "low test scores" (which, when you take out the kids in poverty, our scores don't fall low AT ALL), when in reality we're all overlooking a much larger problem. Most of us care and work our asses…

Way to drink the media cool aid. The state of public education in this country is NOT a nightmare. You want to know why we perform so "low" on those tests that Finland scores so high on? As an industrialized nation, we have the largest rate of child poverty in the world. You know what the largest predictor of whether…
