Your Questions About [body Piercing Training]

Chris asks…
Would hearing a swear word twice in a song during a spinning class offend you?
I am dying to play “Beautiful People” by Marilyn Manson for the final climb of my spinning class I am teaching tonight. Only problem… after the chorus he says “Mother-F****” twice in the song. Would that bother you if you were taking the class? A clean version does not exist. It is a pretty young demographic that takes my class. Thanks!
I should probably add that all the other instructors at the studio play heavy metal all the time. I tend to play softer house music, and when I do happen to throw in a metal song my spinners love it. I asked the owner of the studio, his words were “No one is going to care, go for it.”
Alright, well it appears that even if 9 out of 10 people in the class will like it, only takes 1 to complain. I’ve seen it suggested by spinners on forums on other websites, but they must be the minority.
And I would not lose my job, I do this part-time at my fiance’s studio, lol.

jerry answers:
Ahh…. I think it depends on how laid back the members are. I teach at a studio too, and everyone is really laid-back and easy going. They swear publically all the time… At each other and sometimes at me while I’m teaching, lol.
Just use your discretion based on the people on your class, if you know them well enough. It takes a certain type of person to enjoy spinning. I find heavy metal tunes get people going and motivate them, especially near the end when their adrenaline level is at its height. Go for it!

George asks…
(objectionable content) I’d like a crit of this please… thanks. ?
Before Sleep
1.
My brother explains
as we lie awaiting sleep
how you take a Girl.
2.Big Bro.
Try to understand
what you’re taught tonight:
Girl drugged and studiedly raped.
Thanks to all critters… was wondering if you’ve got any ideas of a way to reformulate it. Initially I was trying to write a single haiku. Doesn’t seem to do the trick.
Or do you think it’s not enough as it is? Should I flesh this out? I know it doesn’t necessarily suggest resolution as it is, but part of the reason is that there is no real resolution once this kind of thing is stuck in you, only suppression/sublimation(out of fashion now). Do you think I should still attempt a longer arc here?
I’m not sure about the title as well. Was thinking about pills you take before sleep.
I promise to give a crit to every one who answers with true crits.
Not that I disagree with the first answerer.
The crit may be collected whenever. Just email me when you’ve got a poem up.
Todd, thanks a lot for the help. I got some ideas from your suggestions:
My brother explains as we lie
awaiting sleep how you take a Girl.
Understand what you’re taught tonight:
Girl
Drugged and studiedly raped.
I do like this idea. I see that “studiedly” may be awkward. Might change it to carefully, but that doesn’t feel right either. I can see how “drugged and studiedly raped” might be a bit bald, but that was my initial idea: for that part to be a different register from the rest of his words. I’ll think about it, though. The line may be a bit too obvious, but it’s tough to come up with anything else that does the same things.
Any other potential critters might also considering how you like this:
My brother explains as we lie
awaiting sleep how you take a Girl.
Understand
what you’re taught tonight:
Girl
drugged and studiedly raped
as compared with the initial poem, minus “Big Bro.” And also whether you think I should just drop the numbers.
As I’ve said, I’ll reciprocate. Butter fool also gets a crit.

jerry answers:
Not a full crit but here are some basic comments:
L2 in the first section consider doing a line break after “lie” notice how that allows you to play with the interactions.
L4: Big bro is probably not necessary since we are still in the brother’s explanation.
L5: Try to could probably be cut.
L7: Girl could actually stand on its own line if you wanted. Did you mean steadily–I wasn’t sure what word you specifically wanted here.
Since you were going for a minimalistic approach you may want to talk about being drugged and raped with more nuance than explicidly stating it.
I hope some of that feedback is helpful.

Paul asks…
How much do you give a babysitter?
Good evening,
My husband was away whilst I was teaching tonight and my neighbour’s son came to look after my two children, one of which went to bed 1/2 hour later.
My neighbour’s son is 14 (I think) but I was in the house. How much do you pay a babysitter? He was here 1 hour.
Thanks for your help.
Eden Elle: I do think 14 is a bit young which is why I precised that I was in the house (I teach from home).
Why are you all talking in $, isn’t this yahoo uk?

jerry answers:
$10

Steven asks…
Tonight on the Glenn Beck Program: Is the White House attacking Fox to force us into competitive cup stacking?
We all started out playing ball, but he thinks Fox isn’t “playing nice”, so he just took his ball home. And now he expects us to start competitive cup stacking or something like that. Well, I for one don’t want to stack cups; I think it’s ridiculous. I teach my children, that cup stacking is for losers. So who the hell is Obama to tell me what to do with my cups or how to raise my children? He can keep his damn cups.

jerry answers:
Dear Henn Peck,
What are you talking about? Par for the course, more alphabet soup.
Sincerely
The guy who shot his own hairpiece.

Donald asks…
Should I teach my husband a lesson by sleeping in a hotel tonight?
Should I stay at a hotel tonight?
I have been married for 4 months.
My husband goes out at least 5 nights per week. I am fine with happy hour with co-workers ,an occasionally men’s night or football with the fellas. However this is crazy. I did not know he went out this much before we were married. Also his sister is a single mom who blames everyone else for her problems except herself. She has two boys. I often babysit for her, but only one boy at a time because they are terrors when they are together.
She asked my husband can she drop the boys off he told her yes. He never asked me I saw it in his phone (on Saturday) , then he said the boys are coming over on Sunday from 6:30-10:30. I told him I did not want to babysit on a Sunday night. I like to go to bed around 9:30 pm so I can be at the gym at 5:00 am. I had plans to install shelf’s ,decorateour bedroom and was not in the mood to babysit. His sister takes advantage she does not feed the kids does not pick them up on time ect… and it is a work night for me. He shut me down.
When she dropped the boys off they were misbehaving . They I found out I had to cook dinner for them. When my husband came home from work at 7:30 he separated them so “I could have peace” as he said then went out for the night. I did not finish my house project because the kids kept interrupting me.
At 9:00pm I texted my husband what was happening with the kids because I was ready for bed he replied LOL. At 10:30 he texted me to put the kids to bed. I texted no.
I could not sleep because I did not know where my husband was. So I texted him I was tired of this and I will be moving out today. My husband did not come home until 2:00am . This morning I packed a suit case and went to work my plan is to stay at a hotel as I do not have family or trust worthy friends in the area. I think my husband looked out the window and saw me putting my suitcase in my trunk. Because he started texting that everything was a big misunderstanding and he hears some weird noise when I was leaving what was the noise. ( my suitcase wheels).
I do not know what to do I am at my wits end I have prayed and prayed it has only been 4 months and I hate my marriage. Should I stay at a hotel tonight and even tomorrow so my husband understands I am serious.
I feel as though if I say no to watching the boys in the future he would not care anyway.
I wish I had a sister and all my good friends live 3 hours away.
I have spoken to him repeatedly about going out . What should I do? I get off of work at 5:00pm.
we are married
I have tried to talk to him he says he understand me , but nothing changes.
I thought by stayingin a hotel he will understand that i am not stuck with him.
@ mike B. I do not go out except church . I try to be home so I can cook his dinner. I have made plans to go out after work this Friday.

jerry answers:
I say go and do what he does to you. Send him a message saying you’re “Out” for the night because you are upset with how he’s being treated you, and IF he’s interested in discussing things and making actual changes, that you will discuss it with the next day. Do not reply to any other messages from him other than telling him a time to meet the next morning. Turn off your phone until the next day.
When you meet, calmly discuss with him how you feel, and the changes you want made. Set a date for things to change by, and let him know that if things don’t change by that date, you will seek to move out permanently. Perhaps when he sees that you are THAT serious,and feeling the way you are, that things really DO need to change. Suggest therapy for the two of you if you feel that it might help.
Come up with ideas for things to do together, how many nights is alright to go out, how late is too late and come to an agreement about taking care of your nephews, that you are to discuss any babysitting before he agrees, and that certain nights are off-limits period.
Good for you for not putting up with that crap.
I’ve seen that happen before, and in some cases, things worked out well afterward, and in other cases, the marriage dissolving within 6 months. I applaud anyone who puts their foot down, and when needed to, cuts their losses and does what is best for them.
There is NO shame in demanding that you be treated with respect.
