We had a big birthday cupcake war two years ago at our elementary school. One mom, who is a nutritionist, went on a crusade and got them banned. She felt shunned afterwards, and probably was. Most parents and teachers liked the cupcakes, but there was a new principal and he caved to her pressure pretty quickly. The whole drama was kind of amusing to me, because it really was a big deal when she got them banned. Her argument wasn't along the food allergy line or the disruption line, but an anti-sweets line. I didn't care one way or another, but people were very up in arms about it.

hopefully these will suffice
clear pictures of mucky everything else computer wrist rest hinge area of leatherman, the tool of destruction. you can still see a bit of the glue around the recessed area around the word LEATHERMAN. the sink (still dirty, been cleaning a lot). notice the bashed in rim from earlier misadventure where I dropped the glass carboy on the rim of the sink, crushing the tile. the remains of the bomb that I set off, retrieved from the trash can; very attractive, don't you think? I can see cable sheath end and old corroded brake cable from bicycle maintenance project, burrito wrapper, ice cream/popsicle wrapper, lots of pet hair, the top of the can, ironically adhered to the side of the can, the stuff you'd expect to find in the trash can.

V, try entering that garbageball in some local art contest.
Oh and in future, if you want to do craft activities, get a grown-up to supervise, oaky?

Our kids tend to have sweets for birthdays, which are given out at the end of the day and mustn't be eaten on the school premises, thus giving parents some nominal control. They're quite good about allergies and things too. Pretty much most of the class would be able to tell you that L can't have nuts and M can't have Haribo because he's muslin but A can't have Haribo because he's vegetarian but they can both have Jelly Babies because they're made from something special.

I just saw in the news this morning that the jury a stone's throw away from Apple's world headquarters ruled in favor of Apple and against Samsung in the cell phone patent lawsuit. I expected this, because juries are generally too dumb to be deciding patent cases, but it's disappointing anyway.
Smart phones are going to be more expensive now, and there will be fewer advancements and choices. Apple has gone from a business model of innovating to one of litigating. I work in a patent law firm, so this helps my job security, but as a consumer, it's bad. |
