"Stories from a Teacher"

all kinds of funny humor and interesting tales

[Amy6627]

1. If everyone would send me a hundred million pennies, I would

split it with you!

[neoblues]

6. If Somebody would send me a Million bucks...

I'd be a Millionaire... till I paid taxes... Hmmm.... Have them send me a Hundred Million; the taxe rates are lower.

[smirkymonkey]

2. Hey - good Idea!

If 10 people would send me $9,000 each, I could pay off my loan too! ;)

[opihimoimoi]

3. would take 47566 years to open the envelops

Jus thimking

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

4. Don't Be Jealous. It Was A Great Idea From Her That Worked Out.

I love when I hear these types of impulse stories where someone just said "heck with it, let me give it a shot" and it ended up working out beautifully. I say good for her!

[greenbriar]

7. so I need an idea

cause I need to lower my student loan pymts.


maybe a website with daily teacher tales???

[hfojvt]

28. why don't you write that book?

and then try to market it?

Or just write a couple chapters and send it to some publishers.

How much are your payments and how did you accumulate 40,000 in debt?

[Selatius]

5. That's what our government is supposed to be doing.

Since the government is letting the education system deteriorate, individuals came forward and helped subsidize this person's education. Voluntary socialism occurred as opposed to state socialism.

My only guess is it's a combination of sympathy and the realization that she could go on to do things that could benefit us all. I guess it could be called an investment in one's future, and that's what government social spending really is, but the government is more interested in building bombs and missiles instead of books and pencils.

8. she just had credit card bills

nothing like student loans ect...

she bought prada purses ect...

[liontamer]

15. she was 20 thousand in debt because of credit card bills eom

[evlbstrd]

9. If 200,00 people sent me $1.00 ...

... I could pay off my mortgage.
I've already repaid my student loans, although mine were on better terms than yours.

Go ahead and try what she did, but don't whine about it here.

[greenbriar]

10. oh this wasnt a whine. This was like WTF

never would have thought of this...

[evlbstrd]

11. It is ballsy.

Sorry, didn't mean to accuse. I wouldn't have done it, either. I was raised and taught to honor my commitments.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

12. If 40,000 people would each send me $40,000 I could have

shrub impeached.

[greenbriar]

13. this post alone should have left in GEneral Discussion

ugggggggg

[brook]

14. If

9600 people sent me $1 each, I could take a year off from work and clean out my garage.

OTH, if they wanted to send me $3, I wouldn't have to work again until my 75th birthday! (Maybe longer if I sold what's in the garage. :) How cool would that be? :evilgrin:

Hey, if I'm gonna fantasize, I'm gonna have fun.

[liontamer]

16. are you a young, blonde woman?

if not, you might have to take responsibility for your own debt like the millions of people struggling to support their families.

[greenbriar]

17. nope, just an average brunette/red head 40 something lady

that works hard teaching tomorrows youth

[greenbriar]

18. IF 40,000 people sent me a dollar I could pay off my student loans :)

19. dude, I'm about to join you

I'll be hopefully joining Teach for America to teach HS biology in NYC-- and I have about 30K in student loans so far :cry:

But hey, keep axing my Pell Grants, Congress. It's not like I need an education or anything :sarcasm:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

20. Ok, I'll pledge a buck.

Now all you need is another $39,999. Don't you feel better already? :)

[greenbriar]

22. man that would be cool

this chick started a website, posted a paypal link and bam

got the money and a book deal...



shoot, I could write a book

"Stories from a Teacher"

[kiraboo]

21. If only 10,000 people sent me a dollar

I could get an apartment until this house sells and me and my estranged husband wouldn't have to keep bumping into one another. It's MISERABLE because he hates me & I'm not too fond of him. Sigh. A buck? Anyone? :)

Edited because I'm illiterate tonight.

[miss_american_pie]

23. In the good old days

you could have just slowly poisoned him with arsenic. ;) :hug:

[kiraboo]

27. Those WERE the good old days, weren't they?

I'm sure he's had thoughts along the same line. But my life isn't insured.

[ThomCat]

26. That would pay off my student loans

and possibly provide a downpayment for home.

(sigh) That would be nice.

[Generic Brad]

24. I'm hoping only one person sends me $40,000

But then again, I am an optimist.

[greenbriar]

25. yea, but then , according to Karyn, you have to claim taxes

she did it without having to claim taxes...

[gkdmaths]

29. If I could get 5 people to send me

some broccolli, I'd be happy healthy.

I worked through both undergraduate degrees.

No loans, no interest, six years of mac-and-cheese (AKA "yellow death").

does a body good (only when consumed with copious amounts of ethanol).

Edit to add my dissapointment in lack of "pictures" on the debtor's website (I 'might' subscribe....) :evilgrin:
