Ok, well, I retract that

You're not a loser. I apologize for saying that. The message I was trying to convey is that since society thinks it's better that "If you can't say something nice, then don't say nothing at all," I feel it is in my own and everyone else's best interest if I simply keep my mouth shut.

I'm happy to do it. I love you. Thank you.

Rainbow and Pony Farm
Hey, I grew up on Rainbow and Pony Farm.....just north of Route 40...we had ice cream and lollipops every day. Leeza, OK, maybe I exaggerate just a little bit. Anyway, feel free to express yourself as you like, warts and all. It's your life, you're free to say what you want. But also feel free to blow your own horn once in a while. Seems to me that you found a way to bring some control to your class. You created a fun and competitive game and it kept everyone engaged. Looks like success to me. Your method may be different than the other teacher's (which worked for him), but different strokes for different folks. Gotta go, I think it's time for a cupcake...

don't
Liz - don't be so hard on yourself - look where you are and what you're doing! Keep being honest with yourself AND in your blog - the hell with what other people think about what you say :)

Thanks Jen
Normally I would have said just what you said. But my negativity is becoming a real issue in my life and the lives of people around me. I'm trying to stop! I'm also tired of people who rag on me about it. Right now, I think it's best to isolate myself from such situations. Starting here.
