I really disliked the “anonymous source” letter and the “sad assistant” letter. If someone is not willing to attach their name to something, I do question question their convictions (I would not be surprised if it was Deen, a friend of Deen, or Deen’s assistant).

I agree. I read those stories a lot growing up.

Winnie from Winnie the Pooh was a black bear purchased and named by an OVC Veterinarian (Go Gryphons!)

Jenna Marbles. I started watching her when I was university. I could never let it go.

Winnie the Pooh did it better.

I see your Jeb Bush drawing an I up you a Stephen Harper painting.

How about Mary Magdalene? (if you want to be mean)

I like Saint Nicholas of Bari (Saint Nicholas). He preformed interesting miracles.

This is like Gwyneth Paltrow naming her kid Moses. Ew.

No, an internet comment should have no bearing on your relationship with your children.

I’m sure you are an excellent parent.

I don’t know if it is different where you went, but that is exactly how it works. I had an account name and password information I input to access my online student account. That student account was also the location of my assignment and test marks, online tests, assignment submissions, professor-student comments, and…

I really dislike emoji texts and three word phrases. You’ve got to give the other person more than that.

I agree. I was able to communicate my marks and my feelings to my parents as I pleased. I am really happy they allowed me to do that. This wanting grades access to grades and wanting to know what you are doing at all times seems very invasive to me. These children can still fall flat on their ass at university if they…

At the university I attended, it was possible to create the independent account you described. It would allowed a parent to access financial account and the final grades of the student. There was no function to see grades throughout the semester (midterms, papers) without accessing the student account.

I doubt she expected to get a Christmas present. The aunt controlling the tuition money is far more concerning. I had a similar account from my grandfather amongst four cousins. He was (and still is) alive, so he was able to control it for equal dispersion. This aunt should not have been making these decisions unless…

I have a great relationship with my parents now, but I did have to talk to my mother about the calling. She liked to call weekly, which was too much for me. She and I agreed on bi-weekly, which meant we had more to talk about. She was never petulant about presents though.
