I can see that. I think that SS got a sweatshirt because it was the 90's and it was "cool". ;)I liked the suit during that time, though. It's a shame they killed him off, he should've gone on to become the Venom after Eddie Brock. That would've been a much more fitting end for him.I liked Ben Reilly... :\I thought The Scarlet Spider was cool. When he replaced Parker as Spidey is when I lost interest in the character.Scarlet Spidey's suit could have done without the sweatshirt.
Nu Spidey costume was AWESOME. I wish Parker would have kept it for awhile.
That's about the time I got out of reading comics. Spiderman was one of the last ones I read.
I think they gave Scarlet Spider the sweatshirt so he didn't look so much like Deadpool. Deadpool is almost a ringer for Spiderman as it is.
Sweatshirts were never cool!
*sticks fingers in ears* lalalalalalalalalalalalala
That all happened around the same time that Cable-Deadpool was really popular. I never got into Cable, but I did really enjoy Age of Apocalypse while it was around. Magneto-Rogue... weird relations right there.
AoA was great. It got me back into the X-Men. Deadpool never connected with me and Cable is/was a one trick pony. I hated the 90's X-Force and I hate Liefeld.

HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!
My evil opposite has probably never been in a car accident, then. I'm a little jealous of that.
Yes, how shall we defame our namby-pamby "light" alternates next?*Begins extoling the virutes of higher taxes, more restrictive goverment, etc*
Nope, and I'm JUST GORGEOUS!

So...
Thinking that this was part of the reason for his C+ grade in math, we approach the teacher (via email) asking if he can make up the missed portion of the exam and why he wasn't allowed to begin with.
The response we got was incredibly defensive, parts of the response was in all caps, and never really addressed whether or not he could make up the missed portion of the test. She then said that his grade reflected his knowledge of the subject. (So I'm not sure if the "assessments" demonstrate knowledge or not.) She also implied that our son had been missing FAR more days of school than the rest of the class. She also said that he gets plenty of accomodations which seemed to imply that he wasn't to get any this time.
So we replied and tried to explain the sicknesses and apologized for the absences and again tried to find out if he could make up the test.
The reply we got today was cc'd to the principal and said that things weren't working out this way and if we really wanted to we could schedule a meeting with her, the team lead, the principal, and the neighbor's dog (I believe). All just to find out if our son can make up the second portion of a stupid assessment when he was out sick? She then said that our son had missed a total of 10 days this school year and that the school would have to report him to the district as "truant". Seriously? Is that a threat?
My wife and I are so pissed right now, we are finding it difficult to even think straight. I think I need to hire pony boi to write a letter...

AMEN BROTHER, PREACH IT!!
So...
** spoiler omitted **
Wow Moff.... are you in the UK?
Similar school system to the Australian one... A few of my friends are teachers. I can ask them but all I can recomend is that play it nice but assertive in the meeting and ask why he cant make up the portion he missed. The amount of days off sick are irrelivant to him not being given the same level of testing as the other students.
If that is not satisfactory ask who is the principles supervisor (nicely) and take it to them.

Haven't even thought of Liefeld in a long time. So I thought I'd Google him...
He's got some really funny stuff out there.
See, he's a comedian.
EDIT: Some of those links didn't work -- so I updated it...

Nope, I'm in Colorado, USA.
I thought that Lynora, LPM, and/or Solnes would at least appreciate that this kind of thing doesn't only happen to them. This teacher is so far out of line, I don't even know where to begin. We have a meeting scheduled with the principal tomorrow. It'll be fun.

Not sure how the US system works.... but sounds like the teacher has made some errors and is looking to cover it by using the Wookie defence (bringing up irrelevances to distract everybody).

Good luck. And yeah, it's all too common for this kind of crap to occur. I've mastered the art of nice but scary over the last three years. Seems to be the best strategy for getting things done.
Not necessarily pertinent to this situation, but a couple of videos I found hilarious about dealing with the school for your enjoyment...:)

A Mom Talks With the Director of Special Education
Glad to say, I have never been in a *real* car accident. :-)
(actually I've been in three, and one of them was really bad)Bad accidents suck.
Until you've been dragged backwards down the expressway by an eighteen wheeler, you haven't been in a *real* car accident!
+1. Sheesh. I thought hitting a bus head-on at 40mph was bad.

I guess not according to the Jess Door scale for Real.
Moff: A meeting with the principal sounds appropriate. Bring the emails.
Ugh. I've broken out in hives and I don't know why. :(
Ugh. I've broken out in hives and I don't know why. :(
If its spring it could be pollen, or dust... It gets me all the time. My Mum is allergic to aspirin and you find it in tomato, some seafood, strawberries, she comes out in hives as well.

Yeah, I'm allergic to bloody everything. Hives are nothing new. But usually I can pinpoint what caused it. Something in the new desk maybe? Something I ate? No way to know for sure which irks me since then I can't limit exposure so this wretched itching will stop.
So it's official my life is completely f%!&ed!
What happened, Jeremy?!

$20 million dollars in budget cuts at the university of Glasgow is what happened. My supervisor going into early retirement along with my funding money because of the budget cuts is what also happened........ Therefore I get no PHD, it's too late to apply for anything for this fall, and my funding was non transferable from the government therefore I don't get it..... f%$&

I'm sorry. I hope things get better soon.
And boy, do I empathize. A government shutdown here in the U.S., if it happens this Friday, could do similar things to my career. :P
Kruelly! How's life outside China? And belated happy birthday.
Life is great. Life is way better than China life. Manila is a cool town, lot's of stuff to do, much more engaging than the cultural blck hole I've been in for 9 years. Went to see an actual MOVIE yesterday, in a theatre (cartoon, with my 6 year old: edit: it was her first movie theatre experience ever). First time in 9 years. Saw the Thor preview. Sweet. Scared the snot out of my kid.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Jeremy. I hope you and your partner figure things out quick. What an awful turn of events.
*blink*
Evening! (or morning to those in other hemispehes)

I dunno, that sounds worse to me! O.o I mean, yeah, the accident was bad, but there was little momentum involved, and I wasn't injured. The one where we were broadsided at about 55-60 mph in the rear driver's side was worse as far as injuries and stuff goes. Accidents with 18 wheelers just sound so dramatic, though.
Aw, s$&!, Jeremy. I'm very, very sorry.

Yeah, we walked away from that one (I wasn't driving), no real injuries. I had a bit of whiplash is all. The tow truck driver was flummoxed. He said he'd never seen an accident like that with no fatalities let alone no injuries.
Getting broadsided at 55-60mph sounds way worse than hitting a bus.|

There is a plan B and I'll still be moving away, but it'll be to the middle of nowhere because the husband has a 3 year contract lined up there because we probably won't be able to do anything else for awhile. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
