Yeah about BPD I wouldn't want anything to do with it professionally.

Maybe not. I returned to the classroom to teach the emotionally disturbed 5

years ago and I didn't have a clue about bp until I read UBM by accident.

Incidentally teaching isn;'t all it's cracked up to be.

Uh, maybe my students were different than yours??

I loved teaching -- ie, the sharing of knowledge I'd accumulated

over the years. The thing that did me in was campus politics

(ie, the PD'ed in administration).

So, I retired from teaching (after 37 full-time years at the

same college) and now I share my accumulated knowledge here.

Here is fun, too.
