<p>When you decided today not to renew my husband’s contract, you became a much poorer university. You know that his reviews from his students have been glowing, without any single exception. You know that he singlehandedly got you your degree accreditation. You know that the ensembles that he’s touched have turned to gold, and are the only ensembles that hold promise in the entire department.</p>
<p>You have done this thing because there are a few faculty members who do not want to rise to the challenge of bettering the department.</p>
<p>I do not cry for us. I cry for you, and for what you have lost in letting go this incredible man for political and cowardly reasons. I cry for the students that you have deprived of a suitable education in not allowing my DH to teach them.</p>
<p>He tried. You blocked him at every turn. You are a sorry excuse for a college, and I know that karma will catch up with you… and I weep for the people that will be caught in your web of mediocrity.</p>
<p>I told you. Your father told you. But did you listen? NO!!! so now you will have a D or an F in the higher level class, when you could have taken the lower level class and gotten an A. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!! </p>
<p>5 on AP Calc my BUTT! BOTH your brothers GOT THE SAME THING, TOOK CALC 3, CRASHED AND BURNED. A 5 on AP Calc DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE READY FOR CALC 3.</p>
<p>And College Board/Colleges - could somebody please note this and do something about the matriculation? We have had so many students do GREAT on the AP calc exam (so our AP teachers were teaching what the college board told them to) and then CRASH and BURN when going straight into the higher calc classes in college. There’s a disconnect here (THAT WE KNEW ABOUT, BUT WOULD SON #3 LISTEN? NO!!!)</p>
<p>Stop eating your young. Let these kids have a senior year. Let them feel like they’ve accomplished something instead of staggering to the finish line.</p>
<p>I am really sorry if you have a large medical insurance deductible and want to get an appointment in for a day and a half evaluation before the end of the year, but I simply do not have any openings until late January. I will sacrifice some of my family time to squeeze you in for the initial appointment (3 hrs), but I will not move someone elses appointment so that you can get in and postpone having to pay part of your medical deductible. That is simple unreasonable.</p>
<p>If someone might be laid off in May, I wish you wouldn’t have started talking about the process right before Christmas. Couldn’t we have had a few more weeks of care-free joy before the fear begins? Carp, can I take everyone’s present back and put the money back in the bank?</p>
<p>To those who are lecturing me because they are professing to want our mother to be treated with dignity- I respond that the time to treat with dignity- is when she was conscious.</p>
<p>It is not dignified and respectful to badger her until she moves across the country to move in with you despite her wishes to remain in her home " because you want a live in baby sitter".</p>
<p>It is not kind to take advantage of her by not returning her credit card as she asked repeatedly, by giving the excuse that you need it for your gas & " things" to visit her.</p>
<p>It is not respectful to complain about her to your children, and then weight your contact with her to using her to provide child care.</p>
<p>It is not caring to criticize her values while taking advantage of her hospitality by staying with her in her home for a year so that you don’t have to pay rent elsewhere while you build a new home, and then when she is having a nervous breakdown from the stress, decide to take the point of view that her breakdown is actually a " necessary battling with the devil".</p>
<p>It is not compassionate to impose on her by staying with her in her one room at the senior center, because you had a no contact order that restricted your living at your own home, but then taking advantage of that by staying out until late and not letting her know when you would be coming back or where you were going.</p>
<p>Taking advantage of her generosity and ability to forgive past slights and even cruel behavior is not how you treat someone with dignity.</p>
<p>Because I was not in a hurry to remove the machines before we really knew what was going on- I am criticized as not wanting her to have dignity.</p>
<p>I disagree- the time to treat someone well, is when they are aware of your words and actions.</p>
<p>Did son’s g/f really have to wait until night before his scheduled flight to say long distance relationship just wasn’t working for her? Instead of a wonderful time in Paris, now he has to deal with this pain.</p>
<p>Oh Good Lord. Here we go . . . again. This time no miss nice guy. I have proof that you are a lying SO<em>. I am going to stomp you so far down into the ground you’re going to need a bulldozer to dig yourself out. And when you think you’ve gotten yourself out of that hole, I’m pulling out all the stops and burying you under a mountain of your own c</em>*p. I AM your worst nightmare.</p>
<p>It’s time for me to get someone to do the repairs. You don’t have the time, nor the ability to do them.
You are good at your job, why don’t you hire someone who is good at his/her job, to do what’s needed to get done?
I don’t understand why you are so adamant, that you can repair things, you have no training in. Google is not a substitute for training.
Since the electrician told me that someone messed up the wires in the foyer, I don’t want you to “fix” anything.
Enough is enough. Your “projects” take months to finish and I am tired of leaving in a house with " work in progress".
You think I am wasting my money, when I hire a professional. Well, the reason I do that, is simply because I spend more time at home than you do, and I want a comfortable place.<br>
BTW, how could you be so handy with hands as soft as a baby. :)</p>
<p>I know you probably aren’t crazy about being left alone all day, and do all sorts of things to entertain yourself. So I do understand that you somehow managed yesterday to close my bedroom door on yourself from the inside (probably by perching on top of the door, as you often do, and accidentally swinging it closed), and were shut inside the room for who knows how many hours. And I also understand that you couldn’t hold it in all that time, and pooped on the floor. (Thank God it wasn’t on the rug, or in the closet.)</p>
<p>And I also know what a fastidious little creature you are. But, seriously. Was it really necessary for you to pull three books off a bookshelf, drag them over along with one of my slippers, and very neatly (but firmly) cover your poop with them? And to top it all off, as sort of a garnish, by pulling two electrical cords out of the wall and draping them over everything?</p>
<p>I love you very much, but I didn’t get home from work until after 1 am, and this was neither what I was expecting, nor what I wanted to have to deal with.</p>
<p>Well you really put your foot in your mouth this time, you insensitive idiot! You are truly the most tactless, selfish person I have ever met. And don’t think I forgot about the last time!</p>
<p>Dad pretty much confirmed that you do not give a **** about me, mom hinted at it. The saddest thing is that you’re the only person I would take a bullet for. I care about you more than anyone else, yet you could give a damn.
You never need me, but like an idiot, I’ll always be there for you.</p>
<p>To my peers:</p>
<p>Just when I assume that there is someone in the world who gives a **** about me, you let me down somehow. Why the hell should I care about any of you? You asses only care about me because I have a nice house and happen to be born into a beautiful family. If I was poor or ugly, all of you would drop me in a second. I’m not even exaggerating.
Too bad everyone needs people to get by. I wonder what the hell I’m doing wrong for no one to care. I’ll never trust any of you again.
I’m not feeling sorry for my self. It’s the truth. I’d rather know the truth now than get burned later.</p>
<p>To all the strapping, grown men who bolt for the empty seat without a care for anyone else, who the hell raised you? And it will not emasculate you to sit with your knees less than 3 feet apart.</p>
