I am not criticizing an individual here...

In Reply to: My kids are smart. sm - trose
but I am criticizing a mentality. Look at our public school system and the product it puts out. Why is 98% quality required of us to hold our jobs but not our educators?
"U.S. fourth-graders are about on par with their international counterparts, but by the time they get to the 12th grade, they are in the lower 10% of the industrialized world in terms of math and science competency. This is something you wouldn't tolerate in any other situation. We fire football coaches after the first year of a losing record, but we continue to let the public school system take children and basically degrade them on a relative basis to their international counterparts."

You can state yours w/o criticizing someone else's though (nm)

Tell him that his criticizing you is driving you away!
My DH has issues with my weight, too. Well, he's not perfect either. He's just as overweight as I am, so why the double standard? I told him if I didn't have to work so much and handle EVERYTHING else that I do (and then I listed everything for him), maybe I'd have time to exercise. He's doing more around the house, and I am making an effort to increase my activity level and eat better. He also had to stop pushing food on me, which I think he equates feeding me as an expression of love. Don't worry about the weight. You can still curl your hair, put on some makeup and wear a little slinky something. Cripes, this is the only time I've actually had boobs! It's not so much the weight that bothers them as the attitude. When you get in a rut wearing elastic waistband pants and a ponytail to work at home in, and you stay in them all the time, you don't feel as feminine as you can. Know what I mean? Forget about the underwear and give him a real woman!
Those of you criticizing me, did you read this? (sm)
Do you really think this is the right way to win over your grandchildren? Or are they just your God-given possession and they have to spend time with you whether they like it or not?? If that is how you think, then your opinion is pointless to me anyway.
U beat boredom by criticizing, I see - nm

I think if you look closely she is correcting her own post, not criticizing the OP. nm

I don't, but there are individual state
boards too, see State Boards right under Word Help.
It is pretty individual sm
I had the same August 29 of last year. I was working on my second day home (not a full shift, but a couple of hours), taking all my vitamins, water and food with no problems since day one and following all of my doctor's orders. I had minor pain, but mostly relieved with Tylenol after three days or so.
Then I see people who said they couldn't work for six weeks, even at a desk job, couldn't eat a thing and went to the hospital after four days for dehydration because they couldn't stomach more than five ounces of water a day.
Good luck and speedy recovery.
No, you don't. That is up to individual jurisdictions. Very few, if any, do that.
Just a TV/movie thing.
That is for the individual and his/her parents to...
decide. Let's wait for the facts in this particular case.
You're right - it's up to the individual.

It is a matter of the individual.
For you, this might work whereas for others, it might not. My husband and I shared equally in the housework and raising of our children. It is a very individual thing and as long as it is a choice and not because "that's the way it should be", then of course it will work. We are all very different.
I buy little individual cans of OJ all the
time and they are in the frig quite a whiel before we drink them. Don't know why it wouldn't be as long, as poster said below, the expiration date has not come and gone.
Look at the individual school systems

Well they do get rated up if they buy individual plans (nm)

well you are indeed lucky, my individual is 130 bi weekly
highway robbery. I really wish they would just make Medicaid available to anyone that wants it.
Individual health policies
Individual health insurance policies are a lot harder to get. There is a lot more underwriting on them than there is on a group plan - it's why the group plan premiums are larger. They have to take anyone that is a member of the group.
I was denied because I had been previously diagnosed with a low thyroid. If you're overweight you probably will be denied. If you previously have been diagnosed with almost anything, but especially high blood pressure, any sort of endocrine problem like thyroid or diabetes, chances are it will be difficult to get it.
If you want to go that route, your best bet would be to go to an actual agent that sells life insurance. When it's an agent who is dealing with the company alot of times they can talk to the underwriters and the company and get it pushed through, which you can't do when you're just doing it online.
An Individual Education Plan (or Program)

No. A free thinker, an individual, my own person.

But this is not a school-wide accepted teaching practice, it is individual (nm)

Formula is an inferior substitute. Criticizing nursing in public only helps the big formula companie
