Achooooo! Hey, girlie, don't punch me.

Well, it is official this is not dog allergies....this is a real live head cold. My nose is red and raw and I am neti potting it up big time. I think the neti pot makes it easier as I feel great for about 20 minutes after I use it. I feel almost normal and then bam it is back.....my nose is running. So if I do this neti pot thing about every 30 minutes I am great......but can't exactly take it to school with me.....or can I? I have a little sink in the back room. Can you imagine my library aides if I do that. They already think I am a bit strange! hahaha...don't think I have it in me.

[in reference to "Girls' Night Out" post from 02/23/08]
Talked to another friend who was also went to the same musical event this weekend(.... a mini Woodstock if you will...) and she talked to a guy she has known for a long time... quite some time later his girl friend walked up and hit her and said she was gonna beat her up. Well, my friend had almost forgotten talking to this kid .....she had talked to numerous people while there....she said the girl hit her pretty hard and threatened to %^*i*#*#@+*~!!! She said she just thought it was so bizarre. She didn't respond at all and the girl seemed confused cuz she was expecting a fight. She was thrown off balance by her response and walked off. This is another example of violence. It reminded me of a piece I watched on the news a few weeks ago about increased violence in females....well, it appears it has come to Ruston. I don't remember ever seeing anything like these incidents in the past ANY place. I know violence is as old as time itself...remember Cain and Abel....but it just doesn't present itself in most social situations. I have attended this event for several years and don't remember there ever being violence. I think it is indicitive of our time. People didn't have to worry about shooters being at the malls or in our schools even ten years ago...now women are ready to punch people out at a drop of a hat. So what is the cause? What is happening in our culture to make more people choose violence as the way to solve problems? I think it is scary and I wonder where our culture is headed. What do you think? Is this a trend we are gonna see more of? I know a girl who was leaving her cousin's house and was attacked from behind by a girl she had never seen before and the girl stuck a pen her eye. Luckily it was in the corner of her eye so she will regain all of her sight, but that story has stuck with me.....seems she thought she was someone else. although that is no excuse. That was a couple months ago. Most of the female violence on the news special was female attacking other females. Crazy....the gentler sex? After all Cain and Abel were males. Is there any record of female violence in scripture?
