Need a new job. Teacher sounding pretty good.

Ya, Ok, If you say so.

Lol, If you want to go ahead. You may stand a fighting chance. Me, I wake up on the floor smelling of stale beer and covered with high heel footprints.

I got an email a couple weeks ago from a woman I don't know asking me if I would like to meet another woman I don't know. One friend, and I use that term loosely, said, "Women with no tread left are emailing you to date women with just a little tread left?"

Don't do it.

I have a filthy wordplay joke here that I'm not going to say.

I'm pretty sure teachers get in a lot of trouble if they get caught ****ing their students. Not to rain on any parades.

I taught several years, and the opportunities do present themselves.

Had to attend a sexual harassment workshop a few years ago, and someone asked about student/teacher relationships. We were told there's nothing wrong with that.

hmm, I was at a community college here in south Texas. Although I was married back then anyway. It's all good, all's well that ends well etc.

I would think it would be no problem, as long as you're not actually teaching the student. I would never in a million years begin something with a girl who was in a class of mine! That's completely unethical. Power-stuff, etc.

I did date woman who was in a Phoenix class of mine, but we didn't start dating until a year after she took my class. And she was 35.

I think most of us make the right ethical choices most of the time. I do know of one professor who told her student to drop her class so she could marry him.

I would never date a student taking a class with me although I have gone out with a couple who were no longer in my classes.

The college, at the time and probably now, was much more concerned with superiors and their relationships with those who worked for them or with them. Of course, the seminar came after a case.

I had an "Austin" experience today.

So, being in LA so long, I'm not used to normal and sober people just talking to me out of nowhere, but this one was just strange...

So, I'm walking down 6th street, and there are 3 girls and one guy. The girl in the back of the pack stops, gets my attention (I had already walked past so out of mind) and says: "Hey. We're celebrating her engagement" and points to the girl hanging of the guy's arm.

Now, it wouldn't seem so weird, but 1) people walking about 6th street don't stop and start random conversations, 2) she was cold sober, and 3) she said as if she was telling me she was heading out to the store to buy milk.

I said... "congratulations?"

I was totally dumbfounded and tongue-tied by this.

lol...I'd feel the same way.

People that have lived in Austin for a long time generally avoid 6th street.

Just like a lot of locals never bothered to go to SWSX or ACL.

I do live in downtown though, so sometimes walking through 6th street is required, but honestly, I don't find it super enticing and sort of just walk through it.

It seems like locals go for Esther's Follies, and and the weeknights, go for the Alamo Ritz, the open mics, and local bands performing original music.

I could be misinterpreting the situation, but I'm pretty sure the local hang spot is Whole Foods on Lamar.

I'm old so there is that.

If we went to 6th st. it was towards the Lamar end. We went to the 4th st. area a lot.

Esther's Follies is a hoot. Don't sit in the front row or on the aisle if you don't want to be in the show.

Whole foods is crazy. First class women for sure. We would buy a bunch of wine and get drunk on the roof all the time.

Ah, definitely. The Lamar area of 6th is much better than "dirty 6th."

I live down by the river, so closer to 4th. It is okay there, but so expensive in that little area. A plate of food and a beer will set you back at least $25 now days.

I just hate South Congress. Reminds me of Hollywood Blvd too much.

I saw Esther's Follies about a month ago. It was okay, but nothing life-changing. I think they were a bit off that night, though. The crowd wasn't that into it either, so I guess I got a bum evening.

Former dean wants to bang her? He's just checking the coast is clear first.

No. Former Chair doesn't know her and is quite happily married.

G. DAVIS IS INNOCENT OK

This exists to this day, and is, to my mind, obviously more valuable than your average Banksy or Gilbert & George. No disrespect. Is it me, or what?

I know you have baseball, but it stopped England possibly levelling the Test series.

Someone start a winter thread.
