Blog: Four More Seniors 'Sign on the Line' at MHS

Renaissance is at it again!

Another busy week at culminated at lunch time on Friday with the latest installment of the Renaissance program's "Sign on the Line" event. 

Today's seniors enjoyed the company of their family, friends and staff members at MHS as they celebrated their academic achievement and made public their commitment to their respective four year universities. 

Vickie Lapaz will be attending San Jose University in September. Bryan Martinez will be going even further north and attending UC Davis and Akira McDaniels will be attending UC Santa Barbara and joining the world of the Gauchos. Renaissance's own Tawnya Kargupta signed to attend UC Irvine. 

Seniors at MHS are definitely counting down as the year rapidly comes to a close. The next "Sign on the Line" day is Thursday when 5 more seniors will be celebrated.

My apologies for this oversight. Every student at MHS deserves their recognition on this blog as well as the actual event. When I return to school tomorrow I will make sure to post the details of the event in which your son participated. Thank you for calling attention to my mistake.

"What about the hard-working Mexican people..." Did you just write that? Really? O pleaseRead More tell me you are kidding.

See other post about this: It needed to happen...(Ancient Burial Ground that was desecrated) but IRead More maintain we should get some sort of "cleansing" or burn some incense/sage or call for an exorcism. I believe the evil mojo needs to be banished before we build again.........

Hi Therese, I am good friends with Star Shields. He is a busy face painter, and often needs back-upRead More either at the Summer festival in Laguna Beach, now underway, or with one of his other commitments. If you're interested, I would be happy to give you his contact details via email.

Hi Donna! Star is a good friend of mine too!!! He is more an airbrush artist (and a darn goodRead More one!!) then a face painter. But he is truly a legend in his craft. I have been lucky enough to work with him and learn from him too! I just wish he wasn't so far away :( Nice to hear from you!

Old fashioned country vet "patchin' up" was some of the cool stuff I was taught growingRead More up. Splinting a bird's wing or leg, getting a thorn out of a slightly infected cat or dog paw was part of learning. I am NOT saying to eliminate/not see a REAL vet, however some things can be handled at home with a bit of basic medical knowledge and Bactine/hot clean water and towels/tweezers and some loving hands to hold Fido or Snowball when you can do it yourself. I am already bracing myself for the angry openly hostile messages this post might draw, so it's OK if you feel the need to do so. Watching some of my older friends who have limited income spend THOUSANDS of dollars for a beloved pet out of pressure/and what I call "pusher's guilt" sorta made me feel like mentioning that in the old days, some of the animal care was done by a wise farm woman/man...not all vets are crooks, and not all pet needs need put you in the poor house.

I love the old farmers remedies, particularly for mange however when dealing with elderly animalsRead More and certain conditions you just get around it. The farmers remedies are often slow working causing more pain then an animal needs to go through. I try holistic meds quite often for some bacterial infections and they are slow too. Cats in particular are difficult treat. They are great in some situations but in others the it is not appropriate. I will attempt the at home first then the vet. My recent situation was a neglected kitty I rescued with a 1.25 lb cyst I had no idea she had the cyst just thought she was matted. I was trying to get her shaved. Kitty's don't cooperate for though things. One thing led to another she ends up on the operating table. No rescue groups would help me and that's where my anger is directed. I have been donating to different groups monthly for more then 20 years. At one point three different groups at the same time. No one helped me when I needed it. I'm done.

@Lynn: Reading your posts I felt some anger FOR you. HUGE animal lover here, and ALL my pets areRead More rescues/fosters except for the Robo dwarf hamster. Love my cats, and know there just some things you can't do to a kitty without risking kitty AND your own safety. What you have experienced was pretty much the exact thing I saw some older friends go thru...Care about their pets, want to get help, and can't seem to get any or get SOME but with hidden costs and "guilt trips" at the end. If no one said it, thanks for helping critters out and giving when you could. Sorry it was not rewarded.

Gasp! Seriously? OMG--Poltergeist get behind me!!

Donna...Poor Donna. My dear, it is too late. Call that weird yet cute little tiny lady toRead More "clean" your home and get your kids out of the television. ......oh and if you have a pool...DO NOT GO SWIMMING.

Love you Donna. Your comment should have been "Poltergeist get ""thee""Read More behind me"!!!!! All in fun.

I've recently spoken to Gayle. She's fine, just taking a bit of a mental hygiene breather.

She was my first "Patch" debate with someone on the other side of issues......You know, sentimental thing for your first time.... LOL. Just tell her Buzzlightyear "Marty" said hi if either of you two talk to her.
