Education & Reference - 16 December 2007

I'm trying to find a funny/clever + flirty way of saying something. Basically, my friend Anna just told me through text message that I should get a Santa Hat for my dog ...I replied by telling her she is mean...She texted back and said "it would be so cute!" So, I am trying to make fun of her by saying something like "yeah I bet you'd tie your dog to a sledge like a moose, tortures it with a whip, thinking it's all cute and all blalala...." Boys and girls, my question is how do I transform the above sentence into a playful, funny flirty language? Please help me refine it if necessary. I greatly appreciate it.

I know it would benefit me personally as far as furthering my knowledge etc, but would it actually help me advance in a profession or be more marketable in the job field?

I am currently at a crossroads in my career. I'm attempting to figure out whether or not to pursue teaching English at the Community College level or to obtain a credential and teach at the high school level. I'm aware of the working conditions for each, but my questions primarily cover two areas:

1) How much do adjunct professors typically make (in California) to maintain a living. Do they sometimes work at two different schools simultaneously?
2) Is there much opportunity to move up from an adjunct position to a full-time position? If so, what types of salaried positions to full-time community college faculty members make?
3) Financially speaking, in your opinion, would it be worth it to pursue a career at the community college level or at the high school level.

I earned a Ph.D. in a so-called "soft science". Outside of a college/university environment, I think addressing me as "professor" is as unnecessary as a civilian addressing a military person by their armed forced title. I wouldn't mind being addressed as "Dr.", but I prefer to be called by my first name, or "Mrs." or "Ms.". I think "Professor" is appropriate if I'm your college teacher. My mother is having a cow over this. I don't get it. I just prefer to reserve the title "Dr." for physicians. Am I the only one who feels this way?

I've heard of some universities banning the use of laptops in class, their argument being that students don't pay attention.

Laptops get the job done with ease and organization. As far as I'm concerned, *I* am paying for the class, and if the professor can't keep my interest, is that my fault? Opinions?

My case is very special. I'm not an English native speaker but I'm interested in teaching English in America and also my major is TESL. I wonder how I can become an English teacher in universities. I know there are language schools in many universities. They have their own faculty whose majors are TESL or Linguistics. I asked my advisor the same question but she told me it's quite difficult since my native language is mandarin people may question my English proficiency. I'm now thinking about becoming a graduate teaching assitant next semester in the language school of my university. That's all I can do right now. I'm also thinking about taking some linguistics courses as my minor. Please give me some suggestion.

I am applying to a high school, and part of the admissions process is an interview. I have heard that they ask questions such as "Why do you want to attend school here?", "What will you bring to this school?", etc. Tips on answering and any general interviewing tips would be greatly appreciated.

Why does a man state that he really wants to get with a person? Then when the person reciprocates, the person who "gushed" all over themselves, "acts" as though he has no clue. This has not been done "once" but multiple times. When he appears, he is all "happy" to see me. He even pretended he didn't say that he cared for me, to all of those people. What is going on here. The way that he acted, it almost sounded like an advertisement. He "kissed me" on the cheek at a "party" and no alcohol was served there. He "hugged me" in the aisle at church. This is very strange behavior.
