He almost had a heart attack, but cool-headed me scooped it up and headed out into the hall with the kid in tow. I told him I wasn't going to turn him in, but I had to confiscate the drugs, and I warned him not to bring things like that to school again, because another teacher might not be so understanding. It was the most amazing miracle! Perhaps I should pray to the goddess again?

My husband and I used to live in Dorchester, but were priced out of the triple deckers when it came time to buy a house- so we headed south to Brockton, where you can still get good deals and not all the neighborhoods are bad as you might expect. We wanted to live in a diverse area, since we are planning to adopt a couple of kids from Liberia (hence my nome de plume!) next year, if all goes well.
Nice to meet you miss stinky- we mid-life gals need to stick together!
I will keep you posted on my seedlings- and my sad search for relief
I would be pissed if one of my professors confiscated my weed for their own personal use. But having not known I would have thought she was just being really nice and thankful. A little harsh though.

I think my Film Crit professor toked up before class today. We had our final, and when ever someone asked her something she would stare blankly and than slowly answer... Not to mention she misplaced everything.

Oh and welcome to the boards.
