1. They held me back because my brithday was on the cusp of the cutoff
for which year I should have gone. Which turned out okay because when my mom got remarried, it meant that I didn't have to share all my classes with my stepbrother who was only 3 months older than me. :P

2. well, you could have gotten the point
and been really forked, but that has never happened, although I presented my case to the media and while they seem fascinated, they don't want to get too close

3. Because
You let them grade you.

:)

I keep hearing about all this 'failing upward' stuff, and have considered not always winning.

hehe, I figured I would start with this arrogance.

:)

ok, just a joke.

16. What conspiracy is that?
And if I am part of any conspiracy I am terrible at it, since I try and show or speak about what I think, and what I think I know.

and the joke was two tone, one it said I would start not winning, two by saying I was being arrogant I was failing in humility, but I did not deny always winning, which is still being arrogant. Even as I say I am arrogant in a joking false modesty.

But it was a joke, winning and losing are defined by the individual so they are really a choice.

8. okay, let us focalize
on the academics and unfocalize on the unacademics. We really don't want to draw attention to this kind of thing.

Okay, lets just pretend that we are all on the same level, and lets call it PLUTO. Only because I can actually SPELL PLUTO.

24. Like the comment.
Ok, I will agree there are groups that want to keep the spiritual world a secret. Or the world of focus. But I disagree and do not follow Pluto, nor do I give it merit. (just responding in same vernacular, I do not get into planets thing.) I also do not believe the false doctrine that says our level is the level of Pluto.

(In vernacular)I did learn no fear from Mars, and many have commented on Saturn, and my voice often is closer to Venus. If I was to speak in such terms. But I believe in God Almighty through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Oh, I had a battle with Aires a few years back also, he ran like a little kid.

But I digress as I said, I believe in the supernatural but do not believe it should be secret. I actually believe the secrecy allows for the limited resources of one side to be used against many people by just targeting a few people, or leveraged through those with higher levels of exposure.

If that limited one side is forced to fight the battle on billions of fronts, it will dilute its effect. The more people that realize the spiritual world exist, the harder it is for a few people to use it against the many.

Hence why I speak of, and believe in the power of God Almighty, for his power is unlimited.

If there is an argument to be made for secrecy, nobody has made that argument to me. I have not been given a reason to keep things hidden or secret. I also have not learned of anything under any vow of secrecy, so I am within integrity rights to speak of that which I wish to speak of.

Within the planet vernacular, do you align yourself with Pluto?

6. I did too! I spilled grape juice on a class project and, besides that was
a discipline problem. I always had a problem with authority, although I was not a troublemaker at all...in fact, the teachers loved me. I was always different than my classmates...all the way through high school, in fact.

I was held back in the first grade because I had such a hard time dealing with the ignorant fuckheads of other people that they decided I needed yet ANOTHER year of dealing with them just to get into my head they are are going to be even MORE ignorant fuckheads the year after I see them. The problem with that is the teasing, of course...which you just have to suck up.

I really could go on an EXTREMELY long rant here, but I don't have the energy to do so at this moment

15. #7 was my response
I really wish I had studied and learned to spell my own last name. Things might be very different.

26. Funny thought
Thought I would step in and comment.

If you are one to put value in names, for me, you have to add my mother's maiden name to give my name meaning. Not a noun of definition, but a direction for action. It flips the meaning.

But I don't put that much credence into that sort of thing.

10. I didn't fail (because my grades were great) BUT
the teacher wanted to hold me back becuase I said I would cross the street when the other side had a red light. I was 5 for chrissakes. I didn't really know I could die!! That was at the private school. I went to public 1st - 9th. Back to private in the 10th. But thankfully my mom didn't decide to hold me back because of that.

20. I didn't fail Kindergarten but I 'failed the Small Pox vaccination FIVE times & they kicked me out
FIVE times....for "failing" the small pox test/inoculation. I started Kindergarten at age 4 but they kicked me out because I didn't develop a scab from the small pox inoculation. They wouldn't let me back in until I had a scab. I had to have that inoculation FIVE TIMES before I had a reaction!! Five times times 100 needle pricks! Gheesh!! When I finally had a reaction, they let me return and then I guess, I was the biggest pain in the ass to the teacher then! I just couldn't shut up after that! :P

21. What's wrong with you?
why can't you make a scab? You are wandering where no others have wandered before, or at least they have defined that space as very unimaginative space.

28. LMAO!! I know!! I felt so rejected but
found out later on that I was ALREADY immune to small pox!

Go figure and that's why I couldn't "produce" a 'scab'! :P

But as a consolation prize, the old fashioned Doc gave me a box of chocolates! :9

He said I had a lot of courage, was tough and was a brave little girl. ;)

:P :hi:

27. If your belief is that their is no wrong way,
then you would not be my teacher, however I may learn from you.

Also that which extends, should extend to enemies and friends alike, for I believe in winning over enemies with kindness and openness.

Can you expand on your belief that "their is no wrong way." I learned the doctrine myself long ago and discarded it as flawed, but I do not want to assume you think of it the same way.

30. I didn't fail kindergarten
but I did get one unsatisfactory. I used my sleeve to wipe my nose instead of using a tissue. Yes, that is actually written on my report card. Needless to say, I now use tissues. ;)

32. Oh yeah? I couldn't spell my first name!
I'm John, and I oftener than not made my Js backwards. They let me pass, but the teacher sent home a letter to the effect that I was basically retarded. Always meant to send that teacher a copy of my book...:)

33. you know you're old when . . . .
you didn't have to learn how to spell anything in Kindergarten! (me!)


???

We had to learn "itsy bitsy spider" and "A B C D E F Geeee!" and how to put our heads down and be quiet with the lights off without peeing our pants when the teacher was too grumpy to as if it's okay to go pee during quiet time. (failed!)
