Sometimes it's hard when you're the teacher...
Oh no, sadly he's been dismissed. He was looking for a long-term university-type thing... I tend to offer brief, targeted lessons. Didn't want to lead him on.

He seemed to already be evaluating me on my mothering skills(?). He already had a mother, and knew I wasn't looking to be one.... It's frustrating when men think they're going to change my mind.

Perhaps sometimes it's hard when you're the teacher...

Ah - just a short-course. OK, that's good.

It's good to get those 900-pound gorillas out in the open as soon as possible. Since I'm done with having kids I think I offer the same types of lessons you do.

...well, with different syllabus goals, of course.

The teacher stood before the class
He showed off his fantastic *ss
He showed the carrot, showed the stick,
And then he showed his magic...

...trick.

Sad way to go.......

I'm very sorry to hear your sad news Bro.

Many years ago i found my mom's fiance (passed on) laying in his dining room. He had choked on food & couldn't breathe, the coroner suggested.
He was building a motorized hangglider in his garage & partially in the dining room.

That would be a miserable way to last remember a loved one. My condolences Chow.

Chow, on another note, dogwalker and I were having dinner the other nigh. This couple walked in, sat down. The guy had shoulder length hair not in a pony tail... for all intent and purpose he could have been your twin.

My condolences, Chow.

My brother was due out from NY to visit the wife and me in PA many years ago. When he didn't show for an hour, I tried his cell. Nothing. Called my other brother - he hadn't heard anything from him. After several hours I drove out to NY and knocked on his door - no answer.

I went through the 2nd-story window and found him lying peacefully in bed. He was diabetic, severely so, to the point where he was scheduled for a kidney transplant. We had spoken earlier in the day and he seemed quite dejected and beaten when he told me about it, so I like to think that he had been able to will his own death; he was a proud man and refused to be a burden to himself or others.

Again, my sympathy.

feeling a lot better today, funny what sleep (even if it's only 6 hours and low-quality) can do for you.

@Chow, I'm sorry about your uncle.

Chow, there's no ideal way to go. When it's time, it's time. Everybody has to go somehow. Even if someone stays at home all the time so he won't get runned over by a car or attacked by muggers or a stray bullet, death finds you and you're gone. Just like that. You could be busy making pancakes in the kitchen one morning and suddenly you're on the floor dead due to a stroke. Or even watching TV in your favorite recliner and suddenly you go up in flames because of sudden human combustion. Death always gets ya in the end.
