I'm livid...
by Cady inwalking one of the kids i work with to school this morning and there's a dirty syringe on the sidewalk.
this is just two blocks from the middle school and tons of kids walk down that sidewalk on their way to school.. i used to not think much about drug use - my attitude was, you want to screw up your life, go ahead.
but now that i work with kids who've often been deprived of a good home b/c their parents are addicts...when i'm 100 feet from a shooting that is drug-related...and most of all when i see the dealers drive by in their rides and the kids ooh and awe over them and see that as some kind of shining example of where their lives could go...i'm becoming very disgusted and angry in general.

Seattle people...
by Cady injust wanted to let you know my roommate is moving out (her bf bought a house and so she's going to move in with him) and so if anyone in the seattle area is looking for a roommate situation or knows someone who is, drop me a line.
i live near the u-district and i'm going to post at school, but there's always that uncertainty about a roommate you don't know or who isn't at least a friend of a friend.
ciao, cady

Washington Post 78 yr old JW Katrina victim kicked out on the Streets
by JT in<a href= http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/13/ar2005101301957.html> 78yr old jw katrina victm kicked out on the streets</a>.
this was in the metro section on friday here in dc, so after i read this article i could not beleive that out of all the congos here in dc md va no one made arrangements to help this old 78 yr old jw out as the article says she had dwindling options, why there are over 20,000 jw here in washington dc area .
the article is interesting in that she got booted out of 2 jw homes and no one else picked up the slack.

All those years as a JW have finally come in handy... :-D
by Cady in...when arguing against other fundamentalist dooms-dayers!.
not sure what the jw point was in mentioning it, but i remember reading in their lit a quote from plato about how degraded the youths were of his time.
(that doesn't help their "everything's getting worse" ideology so they must have been trying to counter it...) anyway, reading an article for class that says "it makes sense to recall the way morality was transmitted before youth disorder became such a distressing issue.
