You are totally correct. I'd like to post something to your reply, but want to post on the liberal board. I don't want anyone to get offended here, so will post there.

Liberal & Conservative merged to one Politics board.

Trying to post on Gab board to LinK - I think (sm)
Finally watched "Reefer." Graphic wasn't the word. EEK! I'm all caught up now and waiting for Tuesday night.
I know this will get moved to the Gab board, but for some reason I cannot post there and I SM
I really need some opinions. So when it get's moved, please follow it over.
My son's school called me this morning to tell me that they have not yet received my son's transcripts from his the private school he attended last year. The secretary at the new school tells me that she when she faxed her request for the records along with my signed release, the school only sent her my son's shot record and any other medical history they had on him and that was it. They provided no explanation whatsoever. When she called the old school, she was told that I have an outstanding tuition balance and they refuse to release his records until the balance is paid.
Regardless of whether or not I owe them money, can they legally do this? I have tried to research this to no avail. All I have found out is a court case in Louisiana where a judge ruled that a private school can refuse to release a student's records to the student's parents if they have not paid tuition, but that legally the school cannot keep the student's records from the student. Wouldn't this be what the school is doing? I am not the one requesting copies of my son's records, it is the public school district in which my son is a student that has requested the records. I simply signed the release forms and gave them my son's proper identifying information, i.e. social security # and birth date so that the school district would be able to obtain his records.
I am very angry. This private school and I have not seen eye to eye for quite some time on a number of different issues. My son attended there only at the behest of my father-in-law who is a member of the church that owns the school. My father-in-law offered to pay half the tuition if I let my son go there. I agreed because it was a small private school and I felt that my son would benefit from the small class sizes and the "Christian" values. However, over the four years my son attended that school, I found that these values weren't so "Christian" after all.
I had trouble with the school "losing" my tuition payments a few times. I am not the only parent that had this trouble. A number of parents received collection calls saying we were behind on our tuition payments and that we needed to pay immediately or our children would not be allowed to attend; only to find that when I presented the school with a copy of my canceled check, the payments were simply not written down in the ledger and were called a "common bookkeeping error." This happened on more than one occasion and I have contacted my former bank in search of the tuition payment they claim is missing now that has caused them to withhold my son's records. There were also rumors of embezzelment within the church that owns the school. Apparently the Pastor embesseled some money from the church to invest in real estate "for the church" and when the IRS starting sniffing around, there was a fall guy that the church refused to press charges on, and a number of church board members were given high paying, useless jobs at the school as a "thank you for keeping your mouths closed." There are four principles and two superintendents at the school. This is a school that has maybe 100 students total counting all students, K through 12th grade. Why on earth do they need that many principles and superintendents?
So you see, there are some shady things going on in that school and I have to wonder if this isn't just another ploy to extort more money from me. Which brings me back to my initial question, can they legally do this? Even if I truly did owe them money, can they withhold my son's records from a public school district who requires those records in order to make sure my son is placed in the appropriate classes? Should I contact a lawyer?
I am sooooooo mad right now, I can't even see straight! 
the post is on the prayer board, with my reply :)

catching up on reading the board and had to post
In response to the hub-bub about the illegal residents of our country and their lack of interest in learning to speak English - Just a few days ago, my kids got off the school bus and came running in the door in a panic. One picks up the phone and starts dialing like crazy while the other proceeds to tell me what was going on.
A girl who lives up the road has severe asthma. While she was on the bus, she started having an asthma attack and her inhaler was empty. The kids were all trying to tell the bus driver that there was a problem and that the girl needed help.
Turns out they had a substitute bus driver that day. This guy speaks very little English and was yelling at the kids over and over again, "Must Go. Must Go," and continued with his route, completely ignoring the fact that there was an obvious medical emergency on board his bus.
So my kids could not reach the girls parents by phone (busy) and since she still had a long, uphill walk after her bus stop, it was 7 degrees out (not helpful for an asthma attack,) and was in distress when my kids got off the bus, we hopped in the car and went to get her to take her home.
By the time we got to her, she was white as a ghost, purple lips, and about ready to pass out. Her brother was practically dragging her. Got her in the car and took her to her house where her dad met us.
Makes me wonder how can a school employee NOT speak or at least understand English well enough to be able to handle situations like this? What if she had lost consciousness on the bus or worse. Sounds to me like he would have continued on with his route and maybe done something about it after he got back to the bus garage?

No, west coasters shouldn't have to wait to come to this board. Again, do not post
If you feel that you must post, post something in the subject line that there is spoiler information on the inside of the post then make your post inside so those who don't want to know will know not to open your post.

Thought I saw a post like yours on the political board regarding grape research
America cannot take care of all the needy in the world, even if they gave the "grape research" money to them. Keep off your soapbox because you are yelling. I know several who use the welfare system. I give to no one on the streets. I don't care what kind of sign they are holding up, will work for ..... I rescue animals and help our 4 legged friends. That is about as charitable as I get.
Post from main board ie Michael Moore movie Sicko
I have NO desire to see this movie, and I believe that it is just perpetuating and promoting what is going on in this county -- I recently suffered a broken leg and went to THE "county hospital, i.e., Jackson Memorial, in Miami/Dade County -- the ONLY reason that I even went there was because of the fact that my significant other did not understand that with my insurance through CHAMPUS that I could be seen at any or all hospitals in the Miami area -- as a side note, the ONLY time that I have been "turned down" is at a Kaiser facility as far as being seen as a CHAMPUS patient.
CHAMPUS is the major insurance carrier that serves our military and their familes once the service member is honorably discharged, retires from active duty or dies in active combat or retired.
What I endured at Jackson was little short of HORRENDOUS and I believe that if any of us were to be seen at a major medical facility, we would soon find this out.
Jackson Memorial is 1500 beds -- I was initially seen in their "Extreme Care" section -- I got there at 11:30 a.m. and was finally out of there at 11:30 p.m. In the meantime, I walked down to their radiology department because the ignoramous P.A. did not put me in a wheelchair or crutches after I told him that the ankle area had been bruised for a week even after I wrapped it, Epsom salts, ice packs etc -- guess their attitude was "oh well" -- sure enough, it was a fracture -- they lost my records and with my second appointment it was from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to be seen in their "Trauma Clinic" -- no docs, just residents,but tell you what, if you are of Hispanic descent, or poor -- BOY do you get preferential treatment -- needless to say, I am still in pain, with swelling, can't wear a shoe after the cast being off a week, and cannot get results -- I called the ER a bit ago and told them that I was going to be seen at a real hospital and that they could take their treatment and stick it
Bottom line is that patient care has TRULY gone down the toilet, whether it be a nurse, doctor or ANY kind of healthcare professional.
If you don't like figures compiled by liberal organizations...
which are the ones I used...RAINN is NOT a conservative organization, and the ACLU certainly is NOT. What...you don't believe liberals? You who posted links to liberal blogs as good sites for FACTS? Pulleezzeee. Again..where do you get the figures that MOST rapes go unreported?? Can you point me to a place (not a liberal blog) with fact to back that up? No, of course you can't. But you believe it because you read it on some liberal blog. If you read on liberal blog that all liberals should jump off the Empire State Building, you would probably show up and jump....SIGH.
Can you point me to a site (not a liberal blog)...
where there are facts and figures to support that statement that MOST rapes go unreported? But, if the great percentage of those that ARE reported do not result in pregnancy, it is not a stretch to think that those UNreported would not be the same. Again, I will say it...if Planned Parenthood and other liberal organizations had FACT to prove those statements it would be national news. They don't. Because they know better. But they can plant it on liberal blogs and the kool-aid drinkers jump right on the kool-aid truck. Sheesh. Peopleeee. Do you ever check the "facts" you read? I do. No matter WHERE I read it. And I try not to get my news from one source only. That only NARROWS the mind.
I'm liberal, but Rosie is nuts. That 911 conspiracy

Could someone tell me if there is a Christianity board as well as a prayer board (sm)
or are they one in the same? I have some faith related questions, but don't want to post on the prayer board again if it is specifically for prayer requests. I do not see a Christianity board listed. Thanks so much.
Main board, gab board, company, etc, just like here,

naw - that was the old board that did that, aka the 'other' board!
why was it here and not on the Politics board anyway?
Is that board still available?
Thought I had it in favorites, but takes me to the main board . . . I do not have board options to the left though. Anyway, the Gab board is to gab about anything not MT, so I'm sure she's fine here, but I had been trying to check out the WAHM board yesterday and couldn't get there, so just thought it funny you brought it up today.
a new board??
Oh, I love it. We can yak about anything here? I'' be back! 
RE: Gab board
Sorry about that. . .I'm new to this site. I'll take my questions out to the Company Board. I might get some additional advice there. 
I don't think many on this board ... sm
I posted on scrapbooking one time and didn't get any response. I love to scrapbook and I am about to finish up one that is a thank you gift for the family that we stayed with last year on vacation in Colorado.
I am limited in what I can spend on it so I have to depend on a paper cutter, scissors and I love corner punches. I think I have seen the machine that you are asking about but I really don't know anything about it.
The question I posted back quite a while ago is concerning scrapbook programs on the computer. Do you know anything about them? I think I would like to use one of those programs but I have not found anyone as of yet who is knowledgeable about them. I was trying to research that one day through Google and found this website. You might find the answer to your question on here: twopeasinabucket.com This is a scrapbooking website and I found it quite interesting although I didn't have a lot of time to spend looking for the answer to my question. Good luck!
About using this board -
Does anybody know why, especially in the replies, when I click on the subject sometimes I just get one letter or a mark, or there just isn't anything there? Am I doing something wrong?
I think there is only one Jan on the board,
so you can always skip her posts if you don't want to read them.
When somebody is hurting, it is only natural for a caring person to offer whatever they have that could help. Every Christian on earth was once a nonchristian, and somebody led them to Christ, perhaps by offering them help or hope in a time of need.
Nonchristians of all kinds are also free to offer whatever help or hope they have to offer.
I saw this on another board I was on
and it was said that Walter Reed will not pass out cards made out to "A Recovering American Soldier." So you might want to check before you do it.
Thanks, JMR, we need more like you on this board!
Thanks so much, will copy your info down. MERRY Christmas, and thanks for your positive and kind input!!!
what other old board?
.
What other board?
nt
You don't pay for the other board....
the best thing about it is nobody is nasty towards each other, no name calling if you have a different opinion about something, not much whining and complaining about how horrible someone's job is, etc. A nice breath of fresh air over there. Been on the political board here lately? If you want to see nastiness, pettiness and childish behaviour, hop on over there for a bit.
Where is the other board?
I would like to communicate with some nice people.
Can you tell me where the other board is too?
Thank you.
How many on the board
are finding it hard to make their house payment, car payment or credit card payment?
No you do not need the board, but you do need

this board
I would liken this board to a bus stop. Or talking to someone in line. Americans love to do that. Mindless chit chat, no politics, religion, or anything too personal. I hope you are not scarred, but virtually (pun intended) no one feels super anonymous here. You are okay, just remember you are at the bus stop and these are not your sisters....
This board isn't a job interview.
This is a place to kick back, relax, and vent. I don't see this as a place where people have to behave professionally, although it'd be nice if they behaved more politely.
There's a time and place, and what you see is appropriate for this place. I'd expect to see professionalism on the job search boards.
There are all kinds of ways to get work done. You're right that it's a privilege to be able to work from home. You do it in your manner, and others do it in theirs. As long as the output is professional quality and timely, the methods are as individual and as varied as the people.
That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it!
Why is there so much assuming on this board
because once you assume you know what you are talking about, usually wrong as you are in this case. I took in my stepgrandchildren, 3 of them, 8, 13 and 15 and raised them for 3 years. Their mother on crack, their father in prison and they went around their real grandmother's home and she sold dope and illegal alcohol from her home. I went to their school, middle and grammer, endlessly. I saw things I never saw as I was growing up, so disrespectful to authority figures. The mother took son to crack house with her, kids lucky to eat 1 meal a day when not living with me. So instead of telling me I don't know, think I have probably lived it. I doubt all the kids getting the diagnosis of attention deficit really fit that category. Oh, tell me I don't know about that either, not so because a neighbor of mine used to get a check and had her son diagnosed just to get a check. Get your head out of the sand.
On another thread on this board....
someone made the comment about giving girls a false sense of security and not getting PAPs and physicals because they got the vaccine. That was something I hadn't thought about previously.
I was talking about this with a friend of mine and we got on the subject of DES that was given to prevent miscarriages and preterm labor in the 50s and 60s and the side effects that came from it. I googled DES and the one website has a copy of an old ad that states "recommended for routine prophylaxis in ALL pregnancies" with a picture of a smiling baby above the statement. We all know how that turned out!
States have made all kinds of vaccines mandatory for admittance to kindergarten, but there are ways around it, such a religious exemption. I have another friend whose kids have had NONE of their childhood immunizations. I'm not saying I agree with anything that drastic, but her kids are in school.
Anything BUT transcription on the Gab board, please. NM

anyone who has to come to a public board like this
Anyone who has to go on a public board/forum and brag on and boast about ANYTHING- ( about A MAN, no less *L*).....just makes most posters question the credibility of such posters. Anyone who is truly happy....has no need to type all this on a public forum....nor to hang out on one....
the hubby *put you on a pedestal* so now you can reach the keyboard....*lol* -
Now really, all the nasty, antagonistic posters, and in this particular thread, should get off their mommy's computers and go outside and play because from my view, it's a spectacularly gorgeous day outside
*laughs*
prayer board
Do you have a line right up above your post that says "Mental Health Board - Autoimmune Board - Prayer Request" ? For some reason I can only see this when I'm on the Gab Board.
Yes "Gab Board" is on the right but
I still don't see what you see. I feel like an id!ot. I have seen the prayer board before and have even visited it but it is not here now.
The board moderator
Frankly, I think the moderator of this board does a very good job considering the many posts on a vast variety of topics, and with numerous personalities posting them. If I or my friend on this board would be doing anything that is unacceptable or inappropriate we would have been told. I am quite sure of that.
Why this person continues to make an issue of our conversations about the beauty of animals and the love we share for them and our animals is totally beyond the reach of what I can understand. Frankly, the last post two days after the first insult is an indication to me that it is ongoing. If anyone needs to be told, it is the one who won't leave us or the matter alone. We have done absolutely nothing wrong and have said absolutely nothing inappropriate. I am tired of the issue. It was ridiculous two days ago. No one is forced to participate in this board or made to continue to read what is supposed to be so boring and meaningless. What is meaningless is this constat back and forth over something that is not her business.
To my friend (one of them) on this board
Hey, hi. Actually I was going to ask you yesterday to email me directly concerning my CD. If you would not mind, you could give me your address and I would love to mail you one with a copy of the lyrics. I am not doing this because of any other reason, and would love to hear from you on the board as well, but I know we cannot exchange names/addresses on the board. If that sound like a plan you do just that. Have a wonderful weekend and kiss YOU KNOW WHO for me . better not mention a DOG . . .
Where did the recipe board go?sm
I am looking for a dessert recipe that will hold up in traveling. I am driving to a graduation party two hours away. I live in New England and right now it is super hot. I can put it on ice. I do not know what to bring. This person is constantly bringing something to our house when she comes. A plant, a bottle of wine, a candle etc. The party is being catered (in their backyard) so I am thinking more on the way of a dessert. Any suggestions?
