    The Other (more approprite) is:

    "Veni, Vino, Vomiti"= I came, I drank wine, I thew up.

    Where can I get one!!!!!
    "
    Vomiti works, it's a real Latin verb and it even has the correct ending.

    Vino actually means in the vine. It's a noun and they have put the ending on it that indicates a prepositional phrase. There isn't a verb that means to drink wine.

    If they made it vini (plural and the subject of a verb) it would mean wine drinking, but it would still be a noun.

    Now I know where I've heard/read it. Waiting for Bubba to finish the new book, "Thud." He has a tendency to only read a few pages at a time and "savor" his books. Me? I want it all NOW! Thanks for the reference.

    To get the jersey, just go to the website www.anaerobia.com.

    It was the closest I could get to sucks!


    Maybe I should have said est opus malum!

    (Work is evil.)

    I've gone through a bottle of Advil in the last week, take 3 every afternoon. Society is going to h*ll in a handbasket one 5th grader at a time. I took a mental health day yesterday. I have NEVER gotten sub off the street before. I've always wanted to be sure I had a good person in my room and prearranged somebody. Funny I did not get a headache yesterday.



    Sorry for the rant.

    That's what we're here for. I'd hoped that this year's class was going through a beginning of the year thing and would settle to a dull roar. Apparently not. I know you said that this was a known class from h*ll. Hope you have a good ride planned for this weekend. You can always come to Davis and ride the low traffic flatlands with us. They're easy to ride with your brain turned off.

    You rant all you like. I admire teachers because three kids make my head hurt never mind a whole classroom full. Sending calm vibes and extra patience your way ( Yikes I think I need some of that for myself- when is that husband of mine coming home).

    Lol trekhawk. I got a classic look from my flatmate the other day when I got home from work and said "I had such a great day today. I only had 14 year twos this morning. It was just so relaxing."

    LOL - another teacher. You guys are either really calm mother earth types or just plain touched. Yikes I love my kids and even kinda like some other peoples but it takes a special kind of person to be able to cope with them all. Lets face it some kids are just YUCK.

    All you teachers out there deserve a medal - Im serious a bl--dy big medal.

    I presume that by "touched" you mean insane..? I hope so - it's definitely the category I fall into.

    See you teachers are quick on the uptake. Yep it definitely means insane.
    Being a little potty makes life more interesting I think.

    PS for all the Americans Potty also means insane.
