    Not here. This isn't Alabama.

    Honestly, I'd walk out of a place with that on the menu, and I'd tell them why.

    holy hominids, batman!

    my history teacher is teaching creationism.

    he began the lecture with his own writing about how there are still a few small sects that believe that hominids are our ancestors and that they use such items as the fossilized footprints in tanzania as indisputable proof of early bipedal-ism when in fact, it's just a theory. he says no one knows when humans appeared on the scene and while humans have evolved overbites because of the food we ate, no one can convince him that we are related to ducks.

    i raised my hand and said, um... the 1st paragraph in this 100 dollar book we had to buy for this class says, 'the hominids, our early ancestors, were small, hairy, ape-like creatures, with human characteristics.'

    'i know!' he said, 'and what i'm telling you is that it's important for us to question what is being told to you!'

    next he had the class come up with possible falsities about the footprints, including that possibly apes were holding on to a vine as they walked across the area, or maybe the area was too narrow for a bear or dog to get through on all fours and so they held on to the walls to squeeze through.

    then he went on a tangent about how we are a human race and shouldn't be racist, blah, blah, blah social darwinism. ZOMYGOD! DID YOU KNOW RACISM WASN'T A THING UNTIL THE VICTORIAN ERA?

    look buddy, just because you understand ancient greece doesn't mean you have any concept of how science works.

    i totally felt sick listening to it. he's taking these 18 year old minds that are looking for a way to feel smart and validated and inserting these ridiculous thoughts that they will have to relearn when they take science classes. ugh!!!!!

    see, i was focused on this review:

    Don’t take any of his classes if liberals drive you crazy. When I took History 118 with him he ranted for half an hour before each lecture, and it was pretty much the same story every time.Over all he was an easy grader on assignments, but his tests were frustrating because they had little or nothing to do with his study guides

    when i should have focused on this:

    Do you believe that public school is an ideal platform for teaching students the difference between right and wrong? If so, then Professor Snow is just your cup of tea. He ensures that all history is reformed to support his doctrine while spending no less than thirty percent class time preaching. And you thought sermons were only on Sundays!

    i guess i can, but he seems like a really nice guy otherwise. he's gone on a few rants about racism that i can get behind and is emphasizing women in history, which i also like. i don't want to go after a guy just because i have a differing opinion (scientific understanding) than he does.

    we'll see. if it happens with frequency in the next few weeks, i'll drop. if i get a crappy grade because i don't believe in god, i'll bring it to the board.

    My history prof started out with Atlantis and the Ice Age. It drove my hubby, who has a BS in History, completely nuts. He was outraged and wanted to call and complain, but I held him off.

    Unlike yours, this guy was one of the highest rated and most loved teachers at the college. It turned out to be one of the most interesting classes I ever had. His point, I'm sure was
    'i know!' he said, 'and what i'm telling you is that it's important for us to question what is being told to you!'
    His name will come to me, but I remember he always wore a bow tie with a white shirt, which we thought was hilarious. We called him Poindexter.

    If this is a public school I can't possibly see how this is acceptable.

    You have kids and your landlord is cool with you having a tree in your roof? Fuck I hate renting.

    B's landlord hasnt touched his place once in the 5yrs he's lived there. Being a landlord is work... you can't just sit back and collect your check. Oh wait, yes you can...

    I think you officially win this thread.

    Is the hole allowing rain and debris to enter your house? I would be worried that the whole roof is going to cave in.

    I'm having a much needed shed built on my property. It's 10x12, which is average for a shed. Anything over 70sq ft needs a permit. Through the permit process, I find that part of my property is on the fringe of a flood plain. Therefore, I must hire an engineer and have a flood plain study done and approval by the army corps of engineers before I can obtain a permit. I guess they worry about people altering the path of the creek with new construction. It's a fucking shed on a cement pallet. On average, it takes a year to get permission for a permit from the corp after submitting a flood plain study. It wouldn't matter if the shed is a metal one in a kit from home depot or one constructed by a builder. Asshole government! After the bad news, I went to the dmv to take my daughters place in line to pay her car taxes. I was there for 3 hours after she waited for almost an hour. WTF.

    The contractor I hired to build the shed and I walked the creek for a couple blocks. It's obvious that no one takes out permits as every single one we saw did not comply with zoning code for set backs and easements. Fuck the Corp and the city. I'm building this shed without them.

    HA. I hate dealing with the city permit people. UGH Around here they even want a permit if you put up an above ground swimming pool.

    One option about the shed- you can get those resin (or plastic) ones. Those damn things are expensive BUT they are super easy to put up, they take a freaking beating, and they are easy to clean. We love ours. We are waiting for the price to drop some more to get a bigger one.
