Tpd cracks me up

A south-side neighborhood was evacuated for several hours Saturday because police mistakenly believed a suicidal man was inside his home.
Tucson police spent about five hours trying to persuade the man to leave the home, in the 3700 block of East Sun View Court, only to discover he was not inside, said Sgt. Diana Lopez, a Tucson Police Department spokeswoman.

Veterans Day



Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid

Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me

Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

Where before many more have gone

TUSD still doesn't get it! No more money til you fix yourself!

Did voters realize message they sent public schools?
When I saw the results of Tuesday's school elections, I do not think I was alone in my surprise at the outcomes in a number of districts, especially those that traditionally have been successful in passing such budget initiatives.

Speed Humps

To show their disdain for the asphalt tables, protesters lay on their horns until they have completely cleared the hump.
"Some people take speed humps really personally," Holland said. "I don't get it."
Whatever it is, it isn't just a Tucson thing. Blogs, and even a few newspaper stories, discussing this kind of speed-hump backlash have started popping up across the country.

Full Story

Speed humps down secondary residential roads are retarded, but honking just to make noise in protest is really stupid.

TUSD is a joke and gets no more money!

When my son was a student at TUSD last year, there was "the food police", who were constantly telling parents that they couldn't send "unhealthy" food in their child's lunches and policing what was in kid's lunch bags and backpacks. Yet the school itself was serving white bread and other food that's not healthy.

Additionally, when my son was finished eating lunch (the lunch he brought from HOME), he wasn't allowed to simply get up and leave. He had to RAISE HIS HAND, and wait for the "monitor" to come and inspect his remains to determine if he'd eaten enough. If they felt he hadn't, he had to stay until he'd eaten enough to satisfy the monitor. These rules weren't specific to him--they were in effect for every child at his school.

To me, these are two glaring examples of waste in a TUSD school. They pay someone to make sure kids have eaten enough of their lunches? They pay someone to make sure my child doesn't have a cookie or a pudding cup stashed in the bottom of his lunch bag or backpack? And Fagen says the budget is cut to the bone? That's a joke!!

Wanted: Non-exclusive long distance relationship

Me: Charming, articulate and intelligent.
You: A good baker, likes to take care of her man with frequent care packages.

I am not looking for sex or female companionship. Those I can get. There is however one thing missing in my life of late. Ever since breaking up with my long distance girlfriend, the amount of unsolicited baked goods arriving in my mailbox has dropped precipitously. Given my relative lack of baking skills and my propensity to avoid paying for food, I figured the most rational solution was to find another long distance girlfriend who enjoys surprising her man with frequent care packages (chocolate chip cookies and rice krispies treats are by far the best).

The exchange is simple. You provide regular care package service and in return I provide emotional support, validation and the occasional, "You're right! They *are* just jealous!" I'll be the boyfriend that Disney's soulless corporate machine has convinced you you want. Your parents will be happy you finally found someone, your friends and coworkers will be jealous that you have a guy who doesn't routinely try to slip it in the "oops hole," and your stalkers (should you have any) will shake their fists in impotent rage. As long as you're not hung up on tangibility, it's a relationship with everything you could want or need.

Fatties, uggos and the horribly disfigured are encouraged to apply! I don't care what you look like because I'll never see what you look like. Tell me you're the most beautiful woman in the world if it makes you feel better, just don't send pictures.

Exclusivity is not part of the deal. I intend to date other women during our association and it would be hypocritical of me to deny you the same freedom. Go out clubbing every Saturday night and sleep with a different guy each time if you like, just remember to get the cookies in the mail by 5:00 because the post office isn't open on Sundays. I have no allergies, so feel free to extend your experimentation to recipes and ingredients as well.

Good luck and I hope to hear from you lovely ladies soon!

What is wrong with TUSD ?
