School faces losing $40 million in school funding if they don't adhere to CA provision for transgendered people.

Hmmm, methinks some OC schoolboard trustees should get an education.

Thanks, Beauty, for bringing this up, even though it's endlessly frustrating to hear about this kind of stuff.

Love,
CJ

P.S.
Celia, I love your new signature. Does that mean that only the good die good?

Thanks, CJ. I was going through the mail, when I spied a come-on in some health-related junk mail: over pictures of two different couples was the caption "Which of these two couples will die young?". All of the people pictured were middle-aged (to put it charitably). If I'm no longer young, I certainly don't have to worry about dying that way.

As far as only the good dying good is concerned, it doesn't really follow from my signature; but I suppose it's at least technically no less true. However, unless they find the fountain of youth, the dying young ship has pretty much sailed for a lot of us; death-bed redemption is a pretty competitive sport, though.

Yours,
Celia

Since this thread seems to have developed into an investigation of the metaphysics of dying, let me remind you of the words of Marcus Aurelius (121-180 CE)...

"Remember that even if you were to live for three thousand years, or thirty thousand, you could not lose any other life that the one you have, and there will be no other life after it. So the longest and the shortest lives are the same."

Regards,

Caroline.
