Posting Bail, or, An Atypical Tuesday

Why being a youthworker is the weirdest job I may ever have:

Remember Scott? Three days ago, life was good for Scott. He and his girlfriend Paula had been broken up for a while, but when they showed up to YF on Sunday night, SURPRISE!! They were engaged! To answer your questions: Yes, they are 14 years old. No, it’s not that strange around here to get engaged before you hit puberty. Yes, Paula had already lost her £15 ring. Oh. Man.

Scott: “I was going to wait, but it just slipped out.”
Marlo: “Wait for what? Being legal?

But Paula wasn’t with Scott yesterday, and when I asked about her, I discovered the love was gone. Yes, Scott broke off the engagement after Paula had done some seriously despicable things to Gareth (Gareth is a whole different story. Age 25 chronologically, about 13 mentally, morbidly obese, and in the habit of buying Scott and Jamie phones in exchange for being friends with him). It’s actually a tragedy, but I was so relieved that Scott had defended Gareth against his “fiancée” I could have cried. Instead, I changed the subject to the old classic “Were you in school at all today?” Yes, he was, but got booted from every class. New subject: what’s the craic with you tonight?

Turns out, Scott had a hot date with the PSNI. The cops wanted to get a statement from him concerning Paula’s charges of ATTEMPTED MURDER. A lot had happened since Sunday youth group, obviously. Between Scott and Jamie, the story has unfolded like this:
A younger girl says some unattractive things about Paula's deceased grandmother. Paula attacks her with a razor blade, stabbing her in the forehead and trying to slit her throat. The police take Paula away. Scott refuses to make a statement to "the feckin' peelers." Jamie, on the other hand, thinks Paula getting locked up would be okay and makes a complete statement.

So what are you supposed to do when one of your kids is looking at 16 years in the clink? Seriously. Michelle Pfeiffer and Coolio make this crap look so easy.

Hello
propecia hair loss
Propecia is only meant to be taken by men, and woman should avoid it completely as it causes unwanted side effects in them.

If a woman or child should come into contact with the exposed drug it is important to wash the area of contact with soapy water immediately.

If you have ever experienced an allergic reaction to this drug or others which are similar, such as Dutasteride, it is important to tell your doctor before using the drug.

Hi
[url=http://emicrosoftinterview.com/]accutane drug[/url]

For those with severe nodular acne, if you have tried other treatments and yet those treatments turn out to be not effective, then don’t lose hope! Accutane is the medicine for you! Accutane is taken orally which makes it easier for you to take because you would not have to apply the medicine to your skin which lessens the hassle of the treatment.

Even a single dosage of Accutane during pregnancy can severely cause life-threatening birth defects for the baby.

Always remember to take Accutane with a full glass of water which is 8 ounces to prevent the capsule from melting in your food pipe or your oesophagus which may cause irritation.
