Damn. Not a fun or comfy place. Good luck with this. With sympathy…

whoa!

Ah man, that’s a tough one to be in. Was the person coming for advice or gossip? Your dad should get the ped egg. It really works. I have heels that crack and bleed too, but it does work. There is also heel cream and socks at night. They sell a ped egg attached to a stick for people who can’t reach. Take him for a pedi!

You need to put the kids and the safety of the kids first. Tough place to be in.

The big question is HOW MUCH. The testimonial of silence from her kids says it must not be a serious problem. In limited amount, alcohol is one of the best tension soothers there is. I only drink with others for fear of becoming an alcoholic like my dad. Living alone for weeks at a time, it would be a palliate for loneliness, and one drink is never enough. This has worked for me since wife died in 1997. I had two beers with a friend two weeks ago Willy of .

About your dad’s cracked and bleeding feet, many years ago that was a problem wit hmy feet. It’s a fungus. Had a prostate “bore” job and analysis said the tissue was infected with valley fever stuff. The Dr said the cure was terrible and had to be admitted for it, but she had heard of another drug for it being tested and asked if I would try it. I did and it worked. An unexpected thing happened–the foot stuff was also cured. I think those pills were miconazole. That was over 20 years ago and feet are still free of that horny stuff. Willy of

Rumors feed the worst in people. Good luck!

I have a friend that is an alcholic (in recovery). We never saw it. She hid it well. Almost killed her liver. Someone at work reported it. Saved her life. Take care,

Such a difficult situation you are in! If your colleague is drinking at school, would it not be obvious to her students i.e. wouldn’t they smell it on her breath? In my experience, too, students soon pick up things like that – and talk about them. Best wishes for deciding what to do.

yep….. where you sit sucks. “sun-cancers” on your dad’s head? is that what he calls them? my dad did.

I wonder if Bag Balm would help the heels.Awful situation to be in at school. I wish you all the best of luck with that.

listerine on the heels might help. Vick vaporub. I some of the Australian heel cream.

I’ve been dying for a Daddy story, and so I guess having cancer and bleeding heels will have to tide me over for a while. Do NOT get involved in any drama. It will only drag you down. But you already know that.

drinking on the job? hmm depends on how you handle things. If that was me, if the person was doing their job well and had no problems, I might approach the person in private and tell them that this is illegal and please stop it. if they persist, I might have to go to the authorities and report it if the drinking is putting someone in danger or if itwas illegal in that circumstances.Would do my best to talk it out with the person first IF they are a reasonable person . Perhaps they just had a horrible day or tragedy . Would def talk it out in private but not in their home or in their room, in a more private public place, ie. in an office etc. in a corridor. itiswell journal

Oh hell, that’s a bad situation to be caught in. I’m sure you’ll find a way to sort something out, though. You’re tough like that.

I would say that you should say nothing to her. Not because that is the right thing to do, but because I’ve been there; it causes nothing but bad feeling and she’ll end up somehow blaming you. And dirt sticks. However, if you think it could affect the pupils, tell a more senior member of staff, but only if you’re sure. Pass the buck!

horns are never a great place to sit. I’d go with seeing if proof is evident. Without it there’s no real accusation.

{{{{{{{{{Too}}}}}}}}} It’s making my butt sore just thinking about sitting on those horns ~ ow! Damn is right, not a fun or comfy place to be in. I’m here if ya need me….and I’ll be in your state come Sunday (1/24-1/31) so I’ll be even closer for a week!

During high school our choir teacher had an obvious alcohol problem. Students regularly talked about it. Nothing was ever done by administration folk. This lady died durning the school year as a result. Extra uncomfortable for me as she had been a CLOSE family friend since I was 5 yrs. old. Wish I had said something. Concern can sometimes be the catalist for getting help. Tough call for you. 🙁

Wish I had good advice on this one, but the best I can do is encourage you to rent “Notes on a Scandal” and watch it; maybe that’ll give you some good ideas. Yes, I am back. Shalom

Hey, where are you? Come back! xoxo

Bite the bullet, ask her if she is ok, always a good place to start.

Good suggestion from Tuppence. Where are you, Wolfie dear? Come back to OD.

woooooooolfie!

I’d say wait on it. Honestly, if the kids aren’t noticing, her teaching hasn’t gotten worse because of it. I know it’s illegal, but at the moment no one is suffering. If people start throwing accusations around, there WILL be suffering. I’d just keep my eyes open for evidence. Maybe offer a listening ear to the potential drinker. We know that alcoholism can be triggered by stress, and . . .

. . . stress can be decreased by a strong support network. Throwing accusations around hurts people. Offering people a listening ear doesn’t. That way you’re doing something without hurting anyone. *shrugs* that’s what I’d do. “Hey, you seem stressed, is there anything i can do to help you out?” Don’t say it if you don’t mean it though. She could have you running all of her copies!

Hope you and yours are having a wonderful Christmas holiday!

Been a year since you were here. Hope all is well for you and yours.

Just wondering what’s up!
