Hello, I am a new teacher.. older in years but semi-recently graduated (5/03). Presently teaching 8-12th grade English at a private school for girls.. who generally have been placed here by the courts with the option of going to prison or to this school.

I would love to teach elementary Special Ed. or GED but teaching jobs are almost non existant in central/upstate NY. ... especially for older, fat, 'new' teachers. That's one of the reasons why I need to lose weight.

For 2 summers I worked as a substitute teacher in a maximum security prison for males under the age of 18. Many people don't realilze that it is a lot safer and easier to work in a prison than in a public school... (guess I shouldn't let the cat out of the bag).

I actually enjoyed it. I would love to work there full-time, but full-time teaching jobs are scarce to come by in my area... you need to know someone who knows someone. That is if you are not math or science... and I am P-K-12 Special Ed, 7-12 English and Elementary P-K-6.

I have a B.S. in business management, but because I moved to Portugal, there is more money in teaching English because I'm a native speaker. Right now I'm teaching at a british school here in Portugal. It's been a new experience and I hope one day to get back to business, but for now this pays the bills.

I'm a musician, teacher, and journalist. I am a music critic for the Dallas Morning News, the United Methodist Reporter, and a couple smaller publications. I teach piano, voice, and music theory.

And I just started a record label which released my first solo album. After having worked on other people's projects, I decided it was time to start doing my own thing...

If you're interested at all in Christian music, specifically mellow piano-ballad type stuff, you might like my CD. You can hear snippets - and order it online if you like it - at www.mikeycunningham.com

Leenerbups...my life is complete, now that I have this cowbell clip on my computer! Now if you have the skit with Farley trying out for Chipandales with Patrick Swayze...it would be as if the heavens had parted and smiled upon us! Tee hee!

My grandfather was an old time Methodist, fire and brimstone, Salvation Army preacher....back when they used to literally scare the 'hell' out of ya! And I also dabbled in Christian music many moons ago. I play the autoharp and I also made a tape of 11 songs I wrote, strangely enough they got air time in Scotland, but not here in the US.. I didn't have enough money to get them played. and don't know enough about the music industry to get someone to listen to them. I also tried to set up a website to perhaps download the music from there, but found that I am not smart enough to figure out how...and again, it takes $ which I don't have. Perhaps you could give me some pointers?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
