Throuples?????? In Buna?

 For those of you who don't know, a throuple is defined as this.....A throuple, also known as a triad or three-person relationship, is where 3 people are in a romantic and sexual relationship. 

And it seems there are more than one in South Jasper County. And they're keeping it under wraps ( of course) in the community....But, it's there apparently , if you look.  

Why should we be surprised? Shocked? There's been " Swingers"  in the community for years. I've written on them in the past. You know this...

But an official " Throuple?"( I am wondering if one is bi? One throuple is MMF....one is MFF....That's my understanding.......I was/am somewhat shocked with the girl in the MMF....I'd never dream she'd probably be pulling " Trains..")

You know, while I really want to know how ex-students are doing, something like this, well. I don't want to know....But people tell me anyway..... 

And here is the goofy part, apparently one of them is "claiming" that " The Lord told them to do this."

Which Lord? The " Dark Lord?"  

Just Going to Ramble Today....Buna...A&M....Pastoral Counseling.....Another Fine Mess.....

 I am all over the place today. We didn't know what ADHD was back in the day, but I am sure I have it....Then again, back in the day they'd knock hell out of us for not paying attention...- Instead of writing this earlier, I looked a clothes porn. Like a I need another sports coat, or a tie...  

- Working on a story involving the Buna ISD. Not sure when it'll come out. Might be next week, next month, etc....I got to get my ducks in a row. 

- Bridge City ISD starts school today...That means they had in-service already starting way back in July...Dadgum...

-I owe a couple of you answers back to texts/messages. Got to doing Pastoral Counseling for a former student. You JUST THINK you have problems. ( And I know some of you do)  But sometimes we all need to thank the Divine for what we have. We could be stuck in the slums of India, or Mogadishu, or Gaza....

-I am glad to see former students doing well enough they can afford season tickets to see A&M play. Last time I was at Kyle Field, I got sort of dizzy looking at the student section when they " Sawed Varsities' Horns Off."  Have not been back since. Then again, I am to the point I'd rather watch whatever game in my living room. And in truth, I may forget to even watch....

- Speaking of Buna ISD, my Facebook has been inundated with photos of teachers smiling, looking happy.....at in-service.......I'm calling Bullshit....

- Also saw it was " Meet the Teacher"....I am wondering if that extended to the high school. I think I'd put a big sign on my door..." Plan to graduate? I'd think twice before knocking."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, I Get Ugly Mail.....On the B#tchin' Blog....

 I don't know, this is why I don't suggest you get a blog.....

While I received a lot of good messages concerning the blog on School Supplies, I also received some ugly messaging.....

And that happens from time to time...

And here are some of the messages....

-" Don't teachers get to write off their taxes stuff they buy for school?" ( Yes, but  that is fairly recent, and only about $300....)Heck, I spent that before school even started back when I was teaching. I can't imagine how much teachers are spending for the first day now, especially elementary teachers. 

-And I received several wondering about this...." Kids need headphones?" This is 2025, so I am not shocked. The world changes. I can't see practical usage for gov/eco, but I am no longer teaching gov/eco. But I can see using bluetooth to  stream George Strait, or figure a way to stream a second stream with say, " Rage Against the Machine." ( I could just about hear what some of the people down the hall from me would say hearing me play " Killing in The Name Of..." )

-Then, there is the person railing against property taxes......Yes, I know they are high, and I don't like paying school taxes either, and my child has been out of school for over 20+ years. But, it's the taxing system we have. Would you rather have a state income tax? I'm sure some of you are sounding like Pink Floyd...." We don't need no education."

-Then, I had a couple of people rage about no cell phones in class......Again, I have mixed emotions. I could see practical application for them especially in microeconomics.....I also see them as being a distraction.  

-Also  I had some one lose their damn minds on buying supplies that other kids would be using, not their children. In so many words, they called me a " Socialist." Look, I raise one of the biggest " Running Dog"capitalists in America.....His wife, while raised in what is "called" a Maoist-Communist nation is even more about capitalism and making money than anyone I know. 

They did this because, well, some of the supplies will go to kids that can't afford them.....Yeah, that's mighty Christian of you... 

Seriously ladies and gentlemen, you need to travel to China, everyone there is in business of some sort. It is amazing. When Scottish economist/philosopher Adam Smith wrote in 1776 " The Wealth of Nations" he would be shocked at the usage of the " Invisible Hand" being used in the " People's Republic."  ( Then again, we were in a part of China with no " blue eyes" literally no tourists....and we have a "Family Visa" which means we can come and go from China as we please.....I would like to go to Hong Kong again....Have a suit made in Shenzhen. Maybe a couple of hardcore pinstripes, including one with chalk stripes, look like I actually taught economics or something...)

I digress...

We are in a day and age in which no one is happy...We just look for stuff to bitch about.....And somehow it is worse since the pandemic business. I seriously wonder what the hell was in the vaccines? ( I'm not really a conspiracy person, but I've not been the same since I've taken them. Not again...)

I know economically we are in a recession. I'm sorry but, we are. Bloomberg, CNBC, Fox Business the gubmint, is just not telling us, but we are.....I need to write a blog on it, but you know, it is depressing thinking about it....

Again, I digress...

Give teachers a break. Most are doing the best they can, they're spending money out of their pockets to teach your offspring( The computer just started playing " Self Esteem" IYKYK, )....You know, especially for teachers of younger kids, you might really want to give them a break, and for Christmas instead of another coffee cup, get them a gift card for Walmart....   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why You B#tchin' About This Buna????

 Bitch, bitch, bitch......I swear some of you are not happy without something to bitch about....

So, I know school supplies are expensive. 

And I know the amount of stuff seems to get larger every year. 

But, I've never seen so many people griping about having to get 
"extra" stuff for the classroom. 

And who do you think will have to get the extra stuff, like they're not already spending anywhere between $200-500 just to get stuff for their rooms even before school starts....Yeah, that's right the teacher. 

Hell, I only expected you to have a spiral notebook and a pen for my class. That is it.....And about a 80% of you at some point in the year couldn't even handle that. I had spiral notebooks I bought at Family Dollar/Dollar General.....I even had a jar of pens on my desk that people "borrowed" from and about 90% of the students just kept. Hell, I supplied paper for you to take tests on.  

I could be on a plane now to England/Scotland with all the money I spent just so you could take my class.( Sorry, looking at trips to Europe for Easter 2026. Just something "cooler than cool" about going to church in a massive British Cathedral for Easter. Explore the mysteries of "High-Church" Consubstantiation, Yeah, I have questions about it, so don't write me....) I'd love to do it for Christmas, but the airliners charge double for flights to Europe for the holidays.)

I know inflation is killing you, it's killing us all, at least you're not spending what amounted to $1204.59, I kept track one year, just to do my job right. And have kids with the correct "tools" to work in my classroom. 

What are we talking about $10-20 for extra supplies? 

Some of you are spending $25-30 a day on Marlboros and Miller Lites.
