Cult of the Hugglers

[barnum42]

Exactly! I think I've felt this way half my life (or atleast it seems that way).
I have this feeling sometimes of feeling out of place. I really can't explain it though...............:veryconfu .

I know where you are coming from. I never fit in with "the norm" - I never hit the rebel stage, I don't measure my worth by how much alcohol I can down, I don't worship at the altar of football (soccer) and a host of other things that are considered expected behaviour by British men.

But the thing is - I don't care about that. I don't know at what point it happened, but I don't feel the eyes of others on me any more. Weird I know, given that I have never had any problems appearing on stage in front of 2000 people, but the real world was always different.

Actually I really enjoyed the kids - for the most part, and I still run into a few of them on occasion. It's really weird to see them all grown up with kids of their own (boy am I old!!!)

What killed my brother was teaching kids whose parents he had taught. Then one of his old kids became one of his team members and taught both of my girls. :lol:

Don't forget your chocolate cake!

Thanks - Yum :slurp:

When I was PTA president, my VP was one of my former students!

My cousin works in the local hospital as a nurse, and she's pretty discouraged about the way things are now too - too much "jumping through hoops", too little patient care. She's a great nurse, dispite the system.
In a way, it's pretty much why I left teaching. I love to teach, and I know I was quite good at it, but it's all the other BS along the way that you have to put up with that made me decide that it was not for me.

Things are no different over here. A good friend of mine has quit nursing in a hospital because she is fed up with the politics and red tape. She' now nursing in a school.
Teaching is having a staffing problem, again politics, performance targets and badly behaved kids. The latter is a huge problem because teachers have been rendered defenceless - they can't do anything to a child that may upset it - never mend corporal punishment, they can get fired for even raising their voice to a brat, and said brats know it.:fork:

I was in The Sound of Music once. I was Friedrich.

I crewed a production a little over a year ago. I placed a pile of chocolate raisins on the mountain set - they were the lonely goat turd :lol:

I've been in Carousel twice, first time I was 2nd Policeman! The second time I was Mr Snow. I have also done King and I twice, first time as the Interpreter and second as The Kralahome.
