Good morning all!

Trifioso

good morning car!

6:16 am

car.eeyore

hold on 1 minute....

6:20 am

car.eeyore

OK...hello! How is our boy?

6:20 am

Trifioso

he's fine, but moody. tertiare is home today with a disgusting cold, and now I am spinning plates to figure out coverage. so, same old same old

6:20 am

car.eeyore

When do you need coverage for?

6:21 am

Trifioso

8 - 10, 11 - 2:15

6:21 am

car.eeyore

I can have her from 11-2:15 if that helps.

6:22 am

Trifioso

it blows, I was not even supposed to be on this morning, but I am filling in for someone who got stuck in DC and can't come back

6:22 am

Trifioso

it might, but you probs would have to be here, can you do that, or do you have to work?

6:23 am

car.eeyore

Um...I need to work, and the bunk bed project is a go for Saturday, so I am under the gun to get that done too.

6:24 am

car.eeyore

Not to mention D & M don't get the bus until 11:20. I can ask Mom when she wakes up. Will that be OK?

6:24 am

car.eeyore

I can even heat up some chicken soup and send it with her!!!

6:24 am

Trifioso

I just woke her up and asked her, and she says she will go to your house, but keep in mind, she is full blown gross - fever, cold, upset stomach, the full monty

6:24 am

car.eeyore

Shall we wait for Mom and then decide?

6:25 am

car.eeyore

Let her sleep.

6:25 am

Trifioso

I have to leave in ten minutes, but sure. I can call you when I finish at 10

6:25 am

car.eeyore

If it is OK with Mom, why don't I just send her down after she goes to the gym.

6:26 am

Trifioso

okay. lovely that this exchange will be in the chog forever, innit?

6:26 am

car.eeyore

Wonderful! Do you happen to have the top row A?

car.eeyore

Got it. TY!

6:27 am

car.eeyore

NBT for me! Off to hang with Z until bus comes.

6:27 am

Trifioso

actually, I dont have an upstairs phone at the mo....the car key gnomes carried it off, and then it's battery died, so all hope of finding it lost

6:28 am

car.eeyore

You need to coat it with bacon flavoring...that way the dogs or Tristan will always be able to find it for you!

6:28 am

Trifioso

yes, or crossy!

6:29 am

Trifioso

6:30 am

car.eeyore

I am sending soup & crackers that she can heat up in the micro.

6:30 am

car.eeyore

Already have it line up.

6:31 am

Trifioso

Hello Ruby, hows your day so far?

Hi Teach

7:06 am

hello teach and {{molly}}

7:06 am

rubyfoo

no chat this AM and, for a change, an excellent lunch at the local Sicilian

7:06 am

MollyL

Oh yum, what did you have?

7:06 am

rubyfoo

I was being indiscrieeet the other day, WVTeach, sorry.....

7:07 am

rubyfoo

cutlet a la creme in ther Norman style with wonderful fries

7:07 am

rubyfoo

and, as you can tell from my spelling, lots of grappa

7:07 am

MollyL

Sounds delicious. Vive le grappa!

7:08 am

rubyfoo

I can't name my old friend

7:08 am

rubyfoo

I rarely overeat but today was an exception!

7:08 am

rubyfoo

it is gorgeous here, unseasonable warmth continues and all the bulbs are pushing up

7:08 am

MollyL

Every once in a while, you gotta go for it.

7:09 am

rubyfoo

if it gets cold again, with a hard frost, there'll be no flowers in April!

7:09 am

carleekat

morning everyone

7:09 am

rubyfoo

7:09 am

Well then let it not get cold again. Morning Carlee.

7:10 am

carleekat

((ruby)) how are u today...how did your stew turn out BTW?

7:10 am

carleekat

morning molls...

7:10 am

Deeha

A bit slow here. I have a wonderful pink camelia last year it was out by Christmas, this year you can hardly even see the buds

7:10 am

rubyfoo

it was terrible the first day, but I jazzed it up yesterday and it was fine! thanks for asking.

7:11 am

carleekat

excellent

7:11 am

Deeha

stew is always better the second day!

7:11 am

rubyfoo

deeha, I think we are all having weird weather in Europe!

7:12 am

Deeha

We shouldnt complain at least it isnt so odd as Australia and Brazil

7:12 am

rubyfoo

true true

7:12 am

rubyfoo

it feels very safe here

7:13 am

Deeha

I am off for my stew now all this talk of food has made me even hungrier!!bbl

7:13 am

carleekat

food porn strikes again:)

7:13 am

rubyfoo

we are all potential fatties!

7:14 am

rubyfoo

but talking about food is safer than eating it

7:14 am

suefrad625

good day all

7:14 am

carleekat

this is true

7:14 am

MollyL

Now, if you could only get full by talking about food. : D

7:14 am

rubyfoo

hi sue

7:16 am

carleekat

i am still soo tired...i was very busy in my dreams last night..i cant remember much...but i remember being busy

7:16 am

rubyfoo

I was at the beach

7:17 am

carleekat

i am always in very oddly built buildings...taking classes... but last night i was ( this part i remember ) helping with kate and willie's wedding

7:18 am

rubyfoo

was it an anxiety dream (eg. shoeless in front of a class) or a fun one?

7:18 am

carleekat

late for class... seems to be a common theme in mine..or...not prepared for an exam.. or... homework not done

7:19 am

rubyfoo

typical anxiety dreams, lol

7:19 am

carleekat

oh gee..no anxiety in my life..

7:19 am

rubyfoo

or late for a flight and car breaks down and you have to run the last mile, shleping a suitcase.....

7:24 am

MollyL

Carlee, armchair interpretation...wanting change but not feeling ready for it (late)...wanting something better (learning environment)...wanting to be a part of something important (helping with the royal wedding)

7:24 am

rubyfoo

very nice analysis molly -- I always just thought it was plain old worry! hahah

7:24 am

carleekat

( well..i was trying to keep willie from cheating on kate...not so much as prepare for the wedding...)

7:25 am

carleekat

but they were not yet married

7:25 am

rubyfoo

good mission, carlee!

7:25 am

carleekat

and...man...that sounds sooo freaking egotistical

7:25 am

rubyfoo

you and your "quiet support" are not egotistical!

7:26 am

carleekat

what i do know is i wake up exhausted from these dreams...when i really "need" to feel rested

7:26 am

rubyfoo

I love my dreams; frequently they're about long-lost loved ones and I wake up smiling

7:27 am

rubyfoo

I think it's the anti-anxiety meds I take! hahah

7:29 am

rubyfoo

why isn't gandy accepted. Remember gandy dancer?

7:52 am

Riverdance

was home before the freeze luckily

7:52 am

geli01

wow thats crazy. our school district and those around us were all canceled

7:53 am

Riverdance

had to scrape a 1/4 inch of ice off my car this morning - not fun

7:53 am

Riverdance

where are you geli

7:53 am

Anniebrook

river, glad you got home safely..what a winter you are having

7:53 am

Riverdance

my kids had no school yesterday and a 2 hour delay today

7:54 am

geli01

we had school yesterday, but i didnt find out til i got out of the shower that school was canceled

7:54 am

Riverdance

luckily they are older now so I can leave them to get out on their own and get to work on time

7:56 am

geli01

yea my sister can drive now, even though shes alreadu older she's been putting off getting her license. i should really be the one getting their license now.

7:58 am

Riverdance

Annie - there is another storm predicted for Friday - could be 7 inches or better - yes winter is finally here

7:58 am

Anniebrook

river, yes, down here too. a weekend storm is in the wings for us too.

7:59 am

Riverdance

dont rush it geli

7:59 am

carleekat

getting your license is a big...step...i hated the idea of driving for a very long time

7:59 am

Riverdance

my daughter will be 18 in 2 months and doesnt have her license yet - it just means more driving for me but that is OK

7:59 am

Anniebrook

8:00 am

i was 28 before i got mine

8:00 am

I must be off to work now - have a great day everyone - bbl

8:00 am

8:02 am

carleekat

the city i used to live in had amazing public transit...i could be anywhere in town in 30 mins ( city of 400 000 ) do insurance to pay..no parking spot to find..no gas to buy..and the bus ( central line) stopped outside my front door...WHY get a car?

8:02 am

MollyL

Some people are just not drivers. I don't like to drive much. And I don't drive on the highway at all.

8:02 am

carleekat

no* insurance

8:03 am

carleekat

i dont drive on freeways....

8:03 am

geli01

yeah i probably wouldnt drive if i lived in a bigger city like new york, but i live in a small town with NO public transportation.

8:04 am

Soodle

Hello everybody.

8:04 am

hey soods..how are you?

8:05 am

they should make a grid thats just one long 25 letter word with a bunch of small ones inside...

8:05 am

Soodle

Yeah, good, thanks Carlee. And you? I see you are still being tortured by Mother Nature!

8:06 am

Oh, I am SO looking forward to seeing daffodils again!

8:07 am

Hello Gel. You new on here?

8:07 am

No i've been on here for a long time, i just rarely get on.

8:08 am

carleekat

not that i really want to

8:27 am

carleekat

oh..morning eva

8:27 am

MollyL

It's hard to tell what drives traffic here. Small grids? Large grids? Hey Eva.

8:27 am

carleekat

yay..i can procrastinate some more

8:28 am

EvaNadine

im reason to procrastinate?

8:28 am

carleekat

yeap..u are eva :)

8:28 am

carleekat

i just have cleaning to do..mostly pick up

8:28 am

EvaNadine

neato. :)

8:29 am

carleekat

not really "scrubbing" except my bathrooms

8:29 am

carleekat

and get some laundry done...no biggie

8:29 am

carleekat

real estate agent coming tonight

8:30 am

EvaNadine

we have some cleaning to do.
randomly decided to paint yesterday...lotsa stuff to put back in place now.
and my gloves and 180s mysteriously went missing. :/

8:31 am

carleekat

180's? no coffee yet eva...sooooo

8:31 am

EvaNadine

180s are kinda like earmuffs. but better.

8:31 am

EvaNadine

i dont drink coffee...
but i would hafta wash my mug out for a cuppa tea...

8:31 am

carleekat

hmmm

8:32 am

carleekat

oh...they are cute

8:33 am

carleekat

what did we paint?

8:33 am

EvaNadine

small wall in the kitchen (not much work there, since kitchen is mostly cabinets + counters) and an accent wall in the living room.

8:34 am

carleekat

ok..getting up...starting coffee and sitting in living room to gather my game plan

8:34 am

carleekat

what colour?

8:34 am

EvaNadine

kitchen is a pale blue. living room is a deep red, almost burgundy.

8:38 am

carleekat

ohh..nice

8:39 am

carleekat

( sorry was in kitchen cleaning up from my son....back in a min..i need coffee but cant get to sink yet to make any :)

8:44 am

Judi

Morning, all. Eva - you colors sound loverly.

8:45 am

carleekat

ok..kitchen is functioning..coffee on way

8:47 am

EvaNadine

i didnt really want to paint, since we rent this place. i think its a lot of time, effort, and sometimes money (though not much money this time) to put into a place thats not yours.
but we are getting ready to sign another year-long lease at this place, so i let hubby talk me into it.

8:48 am

Judi

Newness and brightness is always an improvement. Be sure to show the landlord what a HUGE favor you did for him/her.

8:49 am

carleekat

its your home for now tho eva...might as well enjoy it...

8:50 am

carleekat

oooh..coffee ready..yummmmmmmmmm

8:51 am

Judi

We had our living room and upstairs hall painted last year. Accent wall in the living room. I LOVE it and we get so many compliments on it. Totally worth it.

8:54 am

carleekat

ok..making myself an elvis sandwich...bread was gettign stale...

8:55 am

Judi

Painting is a terrible slog, though. I've sworn never to DIY again. Then again, I am frugal, so I'll probably be slapping on the liquid latex again some day.

8:55 am

Good Enough

good morning :)

8:56 am

carleekat

once my house sells and am into my new little house..i am going on a spending diet...and finding the most frugal ways to do EVERYTHING..and to keep myself on track..i will start a blog

8:56 am

Good Enough

that sounds

8:56 am

Good Enough

like a great idea

8:56 am

Good Enough

i'm stuttering today

8:58 am

mixi6

I am slowly painting the inside of my house Judi.

8:58 am

Judi

Good for you, mixi. lol. How many years has it been since you started?

8:58 am

mixi6

3

8:59 am

Judi

*nodding* been there, done that.

8:59 am

mixi6

less than two rooms left and all the doors.

8:59 am

carleekat

in 20 years i have not lived in a finished house

9:00 am

carleekat

its getting annoying

9:00 am

Judi

I've learned many things from DIY painting. #1: Always use Sherwin Williams paint (not the cheap stuff).

9:00 am

Judi

It goes on like pudding because it's so thick, but it lasts forever.

9:00 am

mixi6

Thicker paint drips less.

9:01 am

Judi

#2: If you're going to sell the house soon, use neutral colors.

9:01 am

carleekat

i have my paint favs too...i will be repainting this whole house in the next few weeks

9:01 am

Judi

Actually, #1 should be: if you can afford it, have someone else paint for you!!

9:02 am

mixi6

no plans to sell. Hopefully in another 10 years, it could go commercial.

9:02 am

carleekat

have to sell

9:03 am

Judi

Interesting, mixi. You could make a boatload of money if that is the case.

9:03 am

mixi6

I may hire someone to strip all the doors, especially the louvered doors.

9:04 am

EvaNadine

i actually dont mind painting, and im pretty good at it.
hubby, not to much...
so i find im going behind him cleaning up his messes and mistakes.

i tried to explain to him that one of the most important parts of painting is taking the time to tape properly...

9:04 am

swmbo

Hello all. I see you are discussing one of my favorite subjects: DIY!!!

9:04 am

Judi

Ugh. Stripping. One job worse than painting.

9:04 am

mixi6

Yes, but there is a whole lot of "coming soon" commercial within a few miles. I am on a numbered highway.

9:05 am

Judi

Maybe you could just sand them down and then paint them.

9:05 am

mixi6

Yes, I but the worst was removing the second layer of wall paper.

9:06 am

carleekat

i never tape... i cut in...dont need tape

9:06 am

mixi6

Sanding the louvers is really hard, time consuming and a royal pain.

9:06 am

EvaNadine

my only miscalculation yesterday was not getting enough of the red paint. i brain-farted and forgot that red takes more coats than most colors, so really, our red wall could use another coat. oh well.

9:06 am

EvaNadine

carlee -- i could probably do with cutting in, but frankly, i dont trust hubby to do that. he needs the tape. ;)

9:07 am

Judi

Yes, wallpaper removal can be horrifying. Generally, wallpaper is forbidden in my house. I only used a large wallpaper border to cover up a Winnie-The-Pooh border that was in one the bedrooms when we moved it. Puh-leeze.

9:07 am

carleekat

my x was the painter..i cut in... i dont mind painting..but he is faster...oh well...i will paint..no biggie

9:08 am

carleekat

wallpaper removal....diluted fleecy..not snuggle not downy..fleecy its a ppainters trick

9:08 am

mixi6

I found a steamer plus spray with vinegar works. Use breathing mask.

9:08 am

carleekat

they use all time..no steamer required..no mask....just fleecy

9:10 am

mixi6

Too late now. I think i'm finished with wall paper.

9:10 am

carleekat

wipe on with a sponge....let sit a few mins...pull off paper...the only time i ever had a problem was someone put up wallpaper with what looked like heavy duty oil based super glue type glue

9:10 am

carleekat

then was scraping and sanding

9:11 am

Judi

I actually like grassy wallpaper. I don't think I'd ever be bbrave enough to use it though.

9:12 am

mixi6

It gets darker over time Judi

9:12 am

carleekat

i like the old...traditional.. victorian muted coloured patterned papers

9:29 am

MollyL

I agree with Judi. If you are thinking of selling, use neutral colors. And not a different color in every room. My condo looked like Walt Disney threw up when I bought it. Salmon in one room, purple in another, weird blue in another.

9:30 am

Mr Bob

Morning folks

9:34 am

MollyL

Hi Mr. Bob

9:46 am

Judi

Fireworks!

9:47 am

MollyL

!!!!!!!! JUDI !!!!!!!!

9:47 am

hurshy

i don't see why neutral colors would be better for selling. as a buyer, i hated beige, but knew i could paint over it. i would imagine those who love beige would therefore also know they could paint everything that color.

9:48 am

hurshy

unless of course people who like color are just smarter, an idea i am willing to entertain :)

9:49 am

crosshair

mushroom cap is the best colour for selling a home.it is inoffensive,goes with everything and like you ,if a buyer does not like it they think"well,that will be easy to paint over"

9:50 am

Judi

Colors evoke different emotions in different people. Realtors and property stagers suggest neutral colors so that potential buyers can envision their own furniture and accessories in the new abode. Vibrant/loud colors tend to turn off buyers.

9:50 am

hurshy

but look, i have nice colors in my home, and they go well with my furniture, and i think if the overall effect is nice, people just think, this is a nice room - not my taste, maybe, but nice.

9:50 am

crosshair

ask you paint shop,they mix more of that than even white i will bet

9:51 am

crosshair

and a room has to look neutral,not many personal things in it when it is for sale,a buyer wants to picture themselves in that room,not you

9:51 am

hurshy

well, i have a maritime sort of blue in my kitchen, a pumpkin in the living room, and pale yellow in the bedroom. i don't know if pale yellow counts as neutral or not.

9:53 am

crosshair

not sure hurshy,i last saw yellow used in a kitchen...in 1970:) but blue is always nice,the paler varieties,it is a trusting colour

9:53 am

hurshy

ew, not 70's yellow!

9:53 am

hurshy

soft buttery yellow

9:54 am

crosshair

lol,i know,just funning with you

9:54 am

hurshy

it is hard to understand what happened in the 70's.

9:54 am

crosshair

but the pale pumpkin sounds nice

9:54 am

Judi

Actually, yellow is recommended for Kitchens. It is considered bright and cheerful - good for waking you up in the a.m. My kitchen is also painted a pale yellow.

9:55 am

Judi

Anybody still have any avacado appliances???

9:55 am

crosshair

lol,hurshy,i picked up my fist joint in 1975 and whammo! it was 1983 and men at work was on the radio...ewwwww

9:56 am

hurshy

to me, anything that looks like people cared and worked on it is good. off-white, possibly with marks on it, suggests to me people who didn't care about their home, and so who knows what else they neglected besides the paint?

9:56 am

Judi

Hey, wait a minute. I liked Men At Work ( one album wonder).

9:56 am

crosshair

gag me with a sppon valley girl lol

9:57 am

Judi

And I had nothing against joints either. ;-))

9:57 am

crosshair

nor did i,thats why 1983 caught me off guard;)

9:58 am

hurshy

lol

9:58 am

Judi

Okay, I'm outta here. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

9:58 am

crosshair

all of a sudden i had to get rid of the bell bottoms,and the wide collars and grow some big hair lol

10:00 am

crosshair

and no sooner did i get a tight polyester suit than it was the 90,s and i had to grow a bead and a stache

10:01 am

hurshy

i don't remember tight polyester suits being 80's - i thought that was still 70's.

10:01 am

crosshair

and now i just wear whatever i want cause no one takes me seriously anymore lol

10:03 am

hurshy

that's nicer.

10:03 am

crosshair

much

10:04 am

crosshair

though i really do miss the ladies spandex body Suits with the sash around the waist of the 70,s :)

10:05 am

Book Doctor Gwen

howdees all my peeps

10:06 am

crosshair

howdy gwen

10:06 am

Book Doctor Gwen

you are not well, crossy! LOL

10:06 am

crosshair

lol,sorry was just a flashback

10:07 am

MollyL

That's just it. You want the walls to be neutral so people feel like they can paint over them without a hassle. A buyer sees a red wall and think three coats of paint

10:07 am

crosshair

yup

10:07 am

crosshair

rubyfoo

evben that

10:19 am

hurshy

well you see my bloodwork shows that there is nothing SERIOUSLY wrong with my hormones, but her theory is that a little bit more of something might help me, even if i'm in the "acceptable ra5" for something, my brain might want a bit more.

10:19 am

crosshair

10:23 am

rubyfoo

10:23 am

Book Doctor Gwen

pornj (n. and adj.) almost porn, but not quite

10:23 am

crosshair

skin mags with curry?

10:23 am

Book Doctor Gwen

rhymes with or6 (which is what reminded me of the word)

10:24 am

hurshy

couldn't we spell it some other way that looks a bit more pronounceable?

10:24 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hurshy, spell it any way you want -- but the creator of the word spells it pornj

10:24 am

rururocks

is that anything like karnal sutra?

10:25 am

rubyfoo

anybody have a clue for the 7 or 8? please

10:25 am

hurshy

it's not a word i'm likely to use anyway :)

10:25 am

Book Doctor Gwen

english needs moer words that end with a J, and it needs a word that rhymes with or6, too!

10:25 am

crosshair

yes ruru,but remove steps,3,7, and 11

10:25 am

hurshy

yes, 7 and 8, i was just wondering about those!

10:25 am

hurshy

i take it you are a fan of hadj, then.

10:25 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i sell used books and sometimes used DVDs and sometimes i have pornj to sell . . .

10:26 am

Good Enough

would pornj be like soft porn?

10:26 am

hurshy

10:26 am

Good Enough

Hi stid. I hope you had a good day. I am exhausted

Bugs, I had a MOST excellent day. Started out with torturing 7th graders, which is always a treat. Tomorrow I get to torment 6th graders.

Bugsaw

or that.......... ;)

9:05 pm

stidmama

LOL DR! but do you make him WRITE? *evil mama look*

9:06 pm

DR1965

I check his homework and make him write correctly... his teacher is big on grammar.

9:06 pm

DR1965

He complained he missed points on his math test because of grammar.

9:07 pm

DR1965

I told him he would thank her as he got older

9:07 pm

Bugsaw

grammar is SOOO important when you get old enough to want a job

9:08 pm

DR1965

yes Bugs, we explained that to him. We told him if his writing and grammar are sloppy then what does that say about the person

9:08 pm

DR1965

Also- since he wants to be a humanitarian, he needs to know how to write

9:08 pm

DR1965

( Hogging the chog- SOrry)

9:09 pm

stidmama

well... grammar counts, but not always. I am to4 between knowing how important consistent expectations are for learning; and focusing content-area grades on the actual goals for that lesson (grammar is not "usually" a goal in a mathematics lesson)

9:10 pm

DR1965

I agree Stid- The funny thing is - this is the same teacher who said " I am not a reader. SHe has not read any of the Unfortunate Events, HP, etc...

9:11 pm

Bugsaw

I would agree that marks should not be docked from a Math assignment stid, but writing is important

9:11 pm

DR1965

I would think that if you are teaching a certain grade, you should at least be familiar with the books that are popular in that age group

9:11 pm

stidmama

hm. I would think it very difficult to connect with students -- and to model literate behavior -- if a teacher can't be bothered to read the texts that are all the rage.

9:11 pm

Bugsaw

to most jobs and if you can write well, your cover letter will show it.

9:12 pm

stidmama

yes, I am responding to taking points away from a math grade for a language arts skill; in a language arts context it would make sense!

9:12 pm

Evening all.

mu5 (the 2nd)?

9:12 pm

stidmama

At the same time, I see many students who think well -- critical thinking and logic are strong suits -- but who believe themselves to be slow or stupid because all they ever seem to get graded on are spelling and grammar. I think that is sad.

9:13 pm

stidmama

hey peach and magyj

9:13 pm

Bugsaw

I work with a terrific Grade 7 Math and Science teacher who doesn't care at all what they are reading or watching. None it has to do with her subjects and she is a great teacher! it all depends on their approach

9:13 pm

stidmama

magyk... *sigh* my figners are tired and I really must fill out at least two more forms. *sigh*

Hi Peach and Magyk

May I please have a clue for ar6-24? Thanks.

9:14 pm

stidmama

there is a mu that ends like a sticky "tape" that is fuzzy fabric on one side and hooks on the other

9:14 pm

stidmama

and the other mu 5 I have is a past tense of a thing you stick in a brass instrument to make it soft

9:15 pm

Magyk

stidmama, I understand the student issue. I worked one on one with a student who was in 5th grade, couldn't read more than 1st grade reading level but had comprehension of a junior in h.s.!

9:15 pm

Magyk

thank you stid!

9:16 pm

DR1965

I Dont have the ar6 Peach

9:16 pm

indeed stidmama,my son uses computer aids for his school work as he as he has fine motor skill issues that will forver make his penmanship much like a second grade student,but we fought and fought and got approval now he can express himself in his studies at 40+ wpm:) we must let go of old and dated ideas and give the children what they need to exell

9:16 pm

stidmama

yep. things like that are learning disabilities of some kind. ideally, that student had accommodations of some kind to help keep learning at grade level in the content areas while continuing to receive help in reading.

9:16 pm

stidmama

I am looking for the AR

9:16 pm

Bugsaw

I have to agree with all of this. Students should never be shot down for having a weakness in one area or another. They should be encouraged to try harder.

9:16 pm

gapeach

Thanks anyway, DR1965.

9:16 pm

Magyk

peach=think north and south are ar****

9:16 pm

that's my last one peach, still looking

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

I tell them to discover what they are good at and be excellent. Discover what their weaknesses are and be average.

9:17 pm

DR1965

I Like that Bugs!

9:17 pm

stidmama

:-D exactly, cross. our elder son types faster than most adults, but handwriting is -- and always will be -- an issue, and tedious. So I insisted throughout his school career that handwriting "neatness" would never count and that single word or phrase answers needed to be accepted on any tests given when he couldn't use the computer.

9:17 pm

Magyk

south pole** sorry

9:17 pm

just because a child cannot physically scratch it out with a pan and pencil should not hold the child back

good for you cross. We could document neurological impairment, so the computer issue wasn't a hard sell. but as you know from other rants of mine learning disabilities (which are hidden) have been impossible to get accommodated.

11:56 pm

jillibus

jac, how are things going with your Beloved's daughter?
