Thank you so much! And yes, the Netherlands can be great and I really do love the education system here with the tiered high school structure that's geared to each kind of student, depending on their strengths. But our school is just not great when it comes to bullying. They want the kids to be able to handle situations themselves, which I get and I think is admirable, but they are kids. They CAN'T handle every situation themselves...sometimes they need help from the adults.

You're welcome! I completely understand.
Especially if they have special needs.
We made a vow when our son came into the world the way he did to do whatever we could to help him make his own way as much as feasible, and never let him use his issues as an excuse for failure.
It has, and never will be easy, especially for him, but, considering what issues he's had to deal with, and how far he has come over the years, I think we, and he, did a pretty good job.
Hang in there, and be vigilant and supportive, as always.
One thing we did was provide examples of others that had way worse problems than himself, and we're making there way through life. Yes, disappointments happen, and we all need some emotional release time, but, no major pity parties, 'cause no matter how bad you think you have it, very many have it way worse, and too many have it even more unimaginably worse.
The best of luck to him, and all of y'all going forward...! :)

I am positively going to watch this and draw one this weekend. The artist's face is somewhat familiar, but it's his voice that I recognize--I'm almost positive he was the last person that I took the class with a few years ago. We drew Stitch in that session..

In all, I've done the class about 4 times over the years (on my other visits, the wait was too long, so I didn't do it, but the times I got there early before the crowds, I would be in the first group they took inside). :)

Obviously, I'm still playin' ketchup...hope there are pics of your creation from this weekend ahead...! ;) :)

So I sprained my ankle. And for those that have been on this thread for a long time, you know it's something I tend to do a lot, but this time it really was not my fault.

Earlier today, I was headed for the break room when I heard a crash and then a "Sh*t". I found my supervisor had fallen. As in completely, I found her on the ground. She had slipped. We checked the floor, but found nothing she would have slipped on, so she thought it was her shoe.

Then later, I went in the break room...and slipped. In the exact same spot where she had. Hours later. Except I didn't go completely down; I just managed to sprain my ankle. It swelled almost immediately; it was like watching a balloon inflate. I hobbled downstairs, reported that the break room floor needs cleaning, and then went and told my supervisor she wasn't crazy. Needless to say, she was not happy. We put a sign on the door warning the floor was slippery.

Then I told my coworker about it, and she said someone ELSE had nearly fallen in that break room earlier. :banghead: Good grief. So we shall see if it gets cleaned in a timely fashion, and if not, well, I'd hate to be the person who will have to deal with my supervisor.

On to more pleasant things: I really enjoyed Beauty and the Beast. Can't decide what was my favorite moment. Musical number, definitely "Gaston". Moment: tie between Mrs. Potts getting very offended at being called Chip's grandmother, and then Cogsworth at the end...:hilarious:
When his wife comes up, and she was basically the village shrew, and she's all happy to see him, and he says: "Please turn back into a clock":hilarious:

My criticism is still the same: they really needed to dub Emma Watson. Her voice, while very pretty, just didn't match the others. And Belle did too little singing for her part. In the stage musical, she sings two songs by herself. This one, it's one song, very briefly. If they had dubbed her, then the character could have done more singing. Other than that, she was fine as Belle.

But her singing was not as bad as Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia. That's quite possibly the worst offender of all time.:rolleyes:

Well, at least nobody broke anything in the "break" room... :oops: :rolleyes: ;)

But, seriously...sympathy like.
Hope the ankle is much better, by now. :)

As far as BatB goes, we've not seen it yet. Hopefully, this weekend.

Do you remember these? Clackers. Instead of slamming each other they tended to knock you upside the head, mouth and eyes.
