As far as everyone knows there was no threat
About why someone would rat her out, there are always going to be others that don't like someone for one reason or another. She is a junior in high school so there could be any number of reasons why someone "turned her in".
There was definitely a bomb threat. nm

Bomb threat at son's high school....what would you do?sm

Sorry this is going to be long. I tried to keep it short but....too many details.


There was a bomb threat at my son's high school yesterday. He actually wasn't there because he has been sick the past 3 days but I was going to send him today. 


 My son's friend found the note in the cafeteria and subsequently turned it into the office. Of course police were called and evacuation took place, bomb sniffing dogs were brought in,  etc. I spoke to this boy and several of my son's other freinds and all but one think they know who wrote the note. The note said ".....all n**gers should die.....I hope everyone else is okay but a bomb is going to go off at 12:30.....". He said the note looked like it was actually written to someone else and not left behind for the school to find.Like it might have just fell out of someones pocket or something. Being the overprotective mother that I am, I think of everything bad. That being said,  the note didn't actually state that the bomb was going to go off yesterday or any specific day, just a time. Now, I'm sure he probably meant yesterday but....what if? I'm terrified to send my son to school. Also, who knows what this kid is capable of? What if he brings a gun to school today? Or sets off a bomb today knowing the school now thinks it was just a scare?  We are a small town and don't have a lot of trouble so we don't have metal detectors and stuff in the school and we aren't really prepared for any type of situation of that magnitude.


Now, to get to why the kids think they know who it is. There is a new kid in school who has been homeschooled all his life (not that it matters but I have to wonder if the reason is because his parents are also racist and didn't want their kid associating with blacks). Anyway, this boy comes to his new school and automatically starts calling the black kids n**gers without hesitation. Well, he said it to one of my son's freinds (black boy) and ended up getting hit a few times. Then a few days later....a bomb threat against the "n**gers".  The boys also say this kid is a little weird and seems like he might have some mental problems.


So, all that being said, I believe I have a moral responsibility to talk to the principal about my conversation with the boys. I hate to make accusations and insinuations (I really, really, really hate it when people insinuate things) but this is very serious. Back in my day in high school (the same high school as my son)  we had a bomb threat via phone, we were evacuated for a short while, dogs were brought in and we went right back to class. But today, after Columbine and everywhere else, you just absolutely cannot be too careful.  And since the boys thought this kid "seems" have some mental probs, it automatically brought to mind the guy who shot up Virginia Tech. After the fact, people said there were "warning signs". 


I am however, a teeny, tiny bit hesitant because if this boy really did not write the note,(and the racial remarks just coincidently were made at the same time) I feel a little bit bad for what he will have to go through. But my love for my child and his friends is far greater than my feelings of sorriness (couldn't think of the right word) for that boy (especially since I have no love whatsoever for racists) so I definitely will be talking to the principal this morning. Besides, if this boy did end up doing something tragic in the future, I would not be able to live with myself knowing that I should have said something. Not to mention if my son were hurt or killed by him.


I was just wondering what others would do in this situation and if anyone has had any similar experiences.


Terroristic threat on a child's life.......... sm
is nothing to sneeze at, and that child should have been sent home immediately and the little terrorist dealt with through appropriate authorities.

The issue about what's for lunch when the account is low is more understandable, although I think bread and water is a bit extreme. Our school serves a peanut butter sandwich and milk if a child's lunch account is overdrawn and remains so for a period of time. Oftentimes, for whatever reason, parents do not pay the lunch bill and the school gets stuck with it at the end of the year. If there are financial reasons why a child's lunch bill remains unpaid, there are resources such as free lunch and reduced lunch programs to help with this, but the parent does have to apply for it. The parent could also pack a lunch for the child if there is no money to pay for a school lunch.

Overall, I think keeping the lines of communication open between the parent and the teacher is the best route to take. Ours is a small school and so this is easier to do as the parent/teacher ratio is smaller and teachers are better able to communicate one on one with parents.
Kind of in the same vein as favorite movies threat below SM
Name your favorite holiday songs. I absolutely love anything by Karen Carpenter, love her version of all the Christmas songs. I also love Carol of the Bells.
Call the school. I had a threat like this in my high school and they cancelled school that day.
Thankfully, because the person making the threats was found with material for home made pipe bombs and quit a bit of ammunition and a shotgun. He was arrested and charged. Never allowed back in the school.

I think it would be safer to call the school and get classes cancelled for a day to investigate versus make a scene in the parking lot, especially if the student with the knife is inside with the knife.

Good luck. If nothing happens, pull your child out of school for a week. See what happens. I know that sounds horrible, but small towns is where this happens most often.

I use this site
Vacationstogo.com and I got my trip last year thru Kitty. I only went on the land to Alaska and it was a wonderful time, part by tour bus and part by train. I in younger years went all over Mexico, Europe and the Caribbean but had traveling companion (daughter) then. Now she is grown and wants to do her own vacations and me also. I hope never to get too old to travel. Bon voyage!
cant they set their site to

private and you cant view it without being approved by them?


but if your son is college age...well, he is pretty much on his own isnt he? or he should be.  why stir up crap for yourself?  what if you find something you dont approve of...what are you going to do...tell him you were snooping and what the heck is he doing???

Here's a site that may help.........

Here is a web site.

http://www.dogsbite.org/blog-dog-bite-statistics.htm


The problem is that no matter how responsible a dog owner you are, dogs can accidentally escape.   What would happen to an innocent person walking down the street if your dog happened to escape your yard or your house?  One story on this web site is about two little boys who were walking down the road when a pit bull came bounding out of the woods and knocked one of the boys to the ground and latched onto his face.  


No one can ever convince me that this breed has any unique combination of personality traits that make it worth risking innocent human lives to own one.  I think the entire breed should be destroyed.  The evidence of their inherent danger is overwhelming. 


site
I did read the website, but it still doesn't mean anything to me. I still can't be judgmental & say that the whole pitbull breed are killers and I can't say it's the people's fault either, and I can't even sit here & say that every attack that involves a "pitbull" is actually a purebred 100% "pitbull", can you??? Again, UNLESS I was there & heard and witnessed everything that happened, I can't pass judgement in any of the dog attack cases what so ever and I leave that completely up to God. And I know you said previously that you were not passing judgement, but it sure sounds like are you. I just can't do that. I see the broader picture in everything and I leave the judgement up to God. And in everything in life just in general there are always two sides to every story.
I saw that site too....sm
I think when I get another one made I will try it on there. That is a cool site.
if you go to the irs site
there is a section called "where is my refund" and you enter your ss#, what you claimed (head of household, single, married filed separate, etc) and the exact amount of your refund, and it tells you when it should be sent or deposited. It tells you who to contact if it hasn't been received by such-and-such time after the date, at least it did back when I looked in February. I got my check a few days earlier than it stated, but I had mine direct deposited.

hope that helps.
How do you post a pic to a web site?
I have a picture at Snapfish and I would like to just copy and paste it to a web site.  I can't seem to manage it.  I have tried copying the URL to the web site and that works - they can click on the link and go to Snapfish but that is not what I want.  I want the pic to show up within the post of the web site.  I'm sure its simple but I just don't know how to do it.  Can you help?  TIA
eek sorry if I posted a bad site (m)
I was just googling for jewish actors and saw that site had a list that might be helpful for the OP to find who she was looking for. I did see the statement it was not a hate site and didn't really look at anything else on it.

Did not mean to offend anyone.

New Lifestyle, the Chocolate and Chocolate Mint are great. Vanilla is okay, Strawberry not so great. I bit the bullet and ordered 2 months worth, in the past I have gotten 2 weeks worth and alternate with Total Soy shake powder which I get at BJs which is the only way to get a good price on these things in bulk. But the NL shakes are only available from that website unfortunately. Cost about the same as Omnifast, Medifast, etc. but from reports taste a whole lot better.
I haven't done it in a while, but here is a site
that looks pretty good:

Keeping the crate in the family area during the day and your bedroom at night is very important for a puppy. Being alone is distressing, and they don't learn as well when they are stressed about that.

I know you're probably getting tired and frustrated, but you can do this. Good luck.

This is the greatest site...
It gives 150 categories. This particular URL is for kids parties. There is a huge list but when you pick individual themes it is broken down to other peoples personal parties and what they did which gives you more ideas. Click on Dress-up party and it breaks down to some 10-y/o parties. Not sure what your child is "in to" but this might be of help.

and no we just have a regular chainlink fence. We had the fence put up when we moved here 6 years ago for our dogs. Our first cat (11 yrs) was an indoor/outdoor cat before we moved here but was a bit timid so stayed very close to our old house but goes over the fence here all the time.
I have worked on-site, but I'd have
to disagree with the fact that the typists are not taken seriously is due to the fact that it is a work from home position.  The big national companies took this from us.  I was an on-siter, made fairly good money (hourly), will collect a pension, and had all of the benefits (which kept getting more expensive each year).  I make plenty more here from my home being an IC with my own accounts.  Once the hospitals and physicians began to know that there were companies they could call on the phone, dictate, and have no worries, they took them up on it.  Why should they pay benefits when the transcription companies could alleviate this expense.  No worries right?  No vacations to pay.  No sick time to pay.  No workers' compensation claims to pay for carpal tunnel or back injuries.  I still feel that we are professionals.  There are actually work-at-home Moms that are note typists, but have made a nice business for themselves.  The work-at-home thing is a trend for parents to take hold of their finances and still run the household.  I know it is not for everyone, but times are a changing.  This computer age has really taken a hold of the economy.  The media has really taken a hold of our children.  My Mom would tell me about how they show so much more now on TV about the war then they would have ever in the past.  We were saved from all the guts and blood.  Those days are over.  It is a dog-eat-dog world out there now, but I can say there are a lot positives.  Virtual assistants are all the go... enjoy the ride!!!  LOL - Take care!

Can anyone recommend a web site for
a Leek or Leak procedure of the cervix to remove precancerous cells.  My 18yr old niece is having this done next week.  My SIL knew very little about the procedure and when I Google I am not finding much info.  Thanks.

Went to the site mentioned here, showed step by step, sounds wonderful, snug as a bug in a rug, may make one for myself!
I just visited the site
It is really pretty, but kinda pricey. Did you order from their website or can it be bought someplace else that's less expensive?
I love this site

I did not know what I had until I looked at the site
and it has worked for years for me. Having said that, in the process of having tooth implant in upper front, guess my canine tooth, not sure, the 1 next to the big 1 right in front. Very expensive, hope it is worth it. The flipper on bottom, works great!

Is it some inside secret or something?


Yeah, they definitely needed to lighten up over here big-time!


This site is now being run by new owners
The old owner of this site started her own board. There was a lot of posts about this before the list changed hands. It was also down for a few days.
Thanks for the site! Just what we needed! (nm)

There is also a web site all about bluing .

for using coupons and stocking up on groceries is www.thegrocerygame.com. It does cost a little to join the web site, but they have done an amazing job at matching coupons with various grocery sales. You can choose your stores, like Kroger, HEB, CVS, etc. I used to do this a long time ago and still have a stock pile of shampoo and toothpaste. I quit for a while, but I think I may need to go back to it. I could get like $300 of groceries for around $90. No lie!
thanks! I love this site also. nm

why i love this site
from your first paragraph! I feel like we are a bunch of invisible sisters/mothers/friends... I love asking advice here even if I get mean or rude answers or people disagreeing because I know everyone has an opinion and it helps me to grow as a person to see other's views. because there are always those that are truly concerned. Great advice and I appreciate it dearly. If you saw my above post... she did write me and I am feeling a lot calmer, but still cautious :) I will let you know how it turns out!
