"IT" refers to the program.  I read the article.  It said that parents are donating and raising money, contacting former staff that was let go when it closed and trying to keep the program open.  What a shame.

As always, amusing to see your rosy retrospection and blind emotion guiding your interpretation of the facts.

At least someone had the balls to give some insight into the real reason GT is having "financial trouble" http://www.newtimesbpb.com/issues/2004- ... ure_1.html (http://www.newtimesbpb.com/issues/2004-12-09/news/feature_1.html)

Saying "interesting" is some sort of rosy retrospection and blind emotion as relating to facts?

Now THAT is interesting.

what's interesting is how someone will go back some 18 or so months to a non-financially related article and think they know it all.  tell us helena, who have you talked to, when have you been over to GT yourself?  ok now you can continue to talk out the side of your neck.   :lol:

First of all xvipah, you're right - "Interesting" is just vague, and I'm sorry.

Did I say I know it all?  Show me where I said that.

Yes, it's a "non-financially" related article.  It's the latest article written, aside from the one posted in this thread.  You have something more recent?  Let's have it?

Most "financial" problems come from bad decisions!!!  If you make bad decisions that negatively affect your finances, it's not a problem of not having enough money.

Come on!  Use your program awareness!  What CAUSED the financial trouble??

Actually, I've spoken with several people.  I don't need to sit in group to see that everything adds up.  What's your point?

Oh, and here's a hint from Human Anatomy and Physiology 0001:  It's physically impossible to "talk out the side of your neck".  Even a tracheostomy is placed in the front of the neck, but you cannot "talk" from it.  An opening in the side of the neck would most certainly cause you to bleed out from severing the carotid artery.

Many of the parents have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to run it for a while, and are in talks with someone about steady funding.

Title: moving into different buildings
Post by: basketball on April 21, 2007, 12:05:42 AM
growing together has to keep moving cuz since they were across from the police station in lake worth, they moved a few times, ya know they get so tired of cleaning up the urine, feces, vomit, blood and pieces of skin that the children leave all over the place. not to mention that broken glass incident all over the parking lot that the police didn't bother to check out.

damn those kids, you would of thought they couldn't get to the bathroom or something, and they're like faking being so nervous and upset. those little manipulaters, just wanting attention. and ya know, they really need to stop pulling those tacks outta the benches and carving into themselves. yeah.... maybe then, there wouldn't be so much blood everywhere.
