I’ve been digging the following song since early summer, I guess. Though the singer is talking to his lover, I can’t listen to it without thinking of a friend of mine and thinking of it describing someone who gets up off the ground after getting knocked down.
That is just what happened to a friend of mine about 5 years ago. She got knocked down and lost her high-paying job and damned near all her possessions. With a little help, she has gotten back on her feet and is flourishing again and it has been nice to see.
As a teacher, I have actually heard people say things like this….Teachers’ hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work nine or ten months a year! It’s time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do — babysit!
We can get that for less than minimum wage.
This is the best reply I have ever heard……
That’s right. Let’s give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly planning time, or any time they spend before or after school. That would be $19.50 a day (7:45 to 3:00 PM with 45 min. off for lunch and planning — that equals 6-1/2 hours).
So each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children. Now how many students do they teach in a day…maybe 30? So that’s $19.50 x 30 = $585 a day.
However, remember they only work 180 days a year!!! I am not going to pay them for any vacations.
LET’S SEE….
That’s $585 X 180= $105,300 per year. (Hold on! My calculator needs new batteries).
What about those special education teachers and the ones with Master’s degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum wage ($7.75), and just to be fair, round it off to $8.00 an hour. That would be $8 X 6-1/2 hours X 30 children X 180 days = $280,800 per year.
Wait a minute — there’s something wrong here! There sure is!
The average teacher’s salary (nationwide) is $50,000.
$50,000/180 days = $277.77 per day / 30 students = $9.25 / 6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student — a very inexpensive baby-sitter and they even EDUCATE your kids!)
WHAT A DEAL!!!!
Make a teacher smile; repost this to show appreciation for all educators.

gop candidates complain to NBC about donald trumps 12 minutes @SNL
So they want to dock the trumpster the 12 minutes + at the next debate(s)
LOL this is going to be classic !
——————————————-
Presidential hopefuls may soon be getting their 12 minutes and five seconds of airtime
Negotiations are underway as NBC is looking to grant an Equal
Time request in local markets made by Republican candidates following
Donald Trump’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live” on November 7.
An insider with one of the campaigns told TheWrap details over the final deal are still being worked out with NBC.
In order to honor the request affiliates would need to provide
candidates who filed a request 12 minutes and five seconds of airtime.
Former New York Gov. George Pataki sent a request to 16 NBC
affiliates, including stations in New England, South Carolina, Iowa and
his home state of New York. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham filed a
request to NBC affiliates in Iowa, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich has asked
for airtime in Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee also filed an equal time request
at WHO-TV in Des Moines, Iowa and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore’s
campaign filed at least one request with an NBC affiliate in Greenville,
South Carolina.
It’s only effective if:
– If you owe at least $50,000 in back taxes.
– And aren’t on a payment plan.
– Or contesting a case.
– And aren’t applying for exemption due to traveling for humanitarian work.
Seriously, did you read anything more than the headline?
what for ? humanitarian work isnt paying any better then a newspaper route and the IRS isnt going to negotiate a nickel and dime repayment plan long term
The article states that if there are exemptions from passport cancellation if you are pursuing, and apply for the exemption for, humanitarian work.
Which means, if you’re granted humanitarian protected status, you’re passport is fine.
I’m not saying it’s impossible for a somewhat regular citizen to fall in a crack somewhere, but claiming that if you simply are not paying your taxes that your passport will be cancelled is disingenuous.
There are some very forgiving boundaries on that.
I didn’t say the IRS is forgiving, I said that there are forgiving boundaries on passport cancellation.
Like humanitarian work, which could prevent a passport from being cancelled… regardless of IRS dues.
Parasitic worm increases fertility in women, new study suggests
“Scientists believe a roundworm known as Ascaris lumbricoides — that can grow up to two feet in length in the small intestine, living on its host’s food — increases fertility in women.
The findings are based on a study of about 1,000 indigenous Bolivian women. Like many in the tropics, the woman had been infected with the parasite their entire lives.
Unlike those infected with hookworms, who had smaller bodies and needed more time between pregnancies, women with the Ascaris roundworm actually had two more children than women free of any parasites.
Biologist Aaron Blackwell of the University of California said the Ascaris worm appears to reduce inflammation to help promote conception and the health during pregnancy.”

This article explains why placing a cucumber behind a cat causes them to leap into the air in fright.
“Jill Goldman, a certified animal behaviourist, told National Geographic the cucumbers were triggering the cats’ natural startle reflexes.”
