    I lost a tooth with my first one, had to get a root canal with the second, and who knows what they will be able to do for it now? And I had one break before I even knew I was pregnant this time, and the dentist confirmed I will have to have it extracted or get another root canal, so...

    yeah, my experience supports this theory.

        I swear I grew more hair and kept it. I'm like a damn lion. I got some cavities, but nothing serious, and that's probably more due to the bad previous dentist than the kid. My gums bled while I was pregnant, but that was pretty minor. And I did have some stuff while I was preggers, but that all went away afterwards.

        The only thing I still have is some stretch marks and a kid. I'm a tiger. Grrrr.

I always stress how wonderful my school was (at least when I went there....I'm not sure whether or not it has changed in the last 12 years), even though it had average standardized test scores. We had great teachers who taught us to -learn-. Many of them taught the value of critical thinking and how to question and argue things. I'm sure a lot of that was lost on a lot of students, but it served me very well. A lot of other graduates who went on to university didn't feel the same shock that some first year university students felt, because they actually knew how to think critically, make arguments, and present ideas.
          I have some very fond memories of high school. The few teachers that I got along with and the half a dozen classes that challenged me, combined to outweigh the drug-induced haze and alcoholic stupor that the rest of high school was lost in. Looking back at my grades, from there, it is easy to see what classes I enjoyed and which ones bored or annoyed me. Most classes had a barely passing grade, at best. But some few were aced - straight A's. Like literature, the sciences and anything to do with writing or language. I think you nailed it, with critical thinking, expression and debates.

          It's fairly obvious, now that you mention it, my favorite classes required my favorite skills, including puzzle-solving (with both animal and human behaviors).

          Sorta makes me glad I didn't sleep through more of them. Geez, was I ever dumb!

                It won't let me click on anything. As soon as it gets to my desktop and I try, it freezes and even my nerdy boyfriend couldn't figure it out because it's Windows 8 and there's no way to push F2 and get to the startup menu to manually override. It's fucking ruined

                  look up the model online, if F2 doesn't work there should be an alternate option available

                        Christmas songs for 8 hours every day. I'm actually fine with most of them.

                        Silent Night: okay. Deck the Halls: okay. Jingle Bells: okay. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree: okay. Winter Wonderland: okay. Any Christmas carol sung by Frank Sinatra: okay.

                        Marshmallow World, Christmas Angel, and We Need a Little Christmas: by the gods, someone shoot me in the foot NOW.

                          There's paperwork involved. I bill people for unauthorized shootings of PF members. Granted a foot isn't really fatal so it doesn't really complicate access to my supply of souls/sanity to stick on pizza but as a matter of principle, unauthorized PF member shootings acquire bills.

                                You could always be creative and modify the offending ones as you sing along out loud. Figure something like Christmas Chimes are calling Santa, Santa into something like Hear the Ravens calling, Odin, Odin every heart recalling Odin, Odin. Come on all Great Father look upon and see... you get the idea.
