We're pretty lucky here too, on an smallish island with ambulances arriving promptly. My ankle anniversary was Dec 10 at about 11 pm and the ambulance was there in about 15 minutes that night.

2:21 am

grannyrose

sarah, should be interesting. when i had the bp monitor overnight, they discovered how LOW my bp went overnight.

2:22 am

sarah6girls

lets hope it say something as still feel so unwell :( about time doctors sorted it now and still waiting on bloods

2:22 am

jillibus

interesting indeed, granny

2:24 am

grannyrose

and at work, the doctor found out how high my bp went. * grin * you should have seen his face. jilli, i have sleep apnoea, or rather hypopnoea. this drps my bp a lot when i sleep.

2:25 am

jillibus

I bet!

2:26 am

sarah6girls

emma has it were she stops breathing for a few secs we hopeing she grows out of it

2:26 am

jillibus

Do you need that masky gizmo thing for sleeping or is hyponoea not severe enough?

2:28 am

jillibus

Hubby had apnoea but it wasn't really recognised then. I think it contributed to his too-early demise -- bp too high and then low, I guess, with huge strain on his heart which is what gave out at age 71.

2:28 am

jillibus

In his sleep.

2:30 am

grannyrose

jilli, yes i need the mask and machine when i sleep. i use a CPA P machine every night. even after losing all the weight, i still use it. it's just not worth the risk.

2:30 am

grannyrose

arah, is emma on the big size for her afe?

2:30 am

jillibus

Thank goodness, granny. I wish hubby had had that for years. He might still be here with me.

2:35 am

jillibus

OOh, granny -- we had snow here this morning, We're not down under, of course, unless you count being under snow. Not very much, really, but it makes tings awkward up here on a hill. Luckily, I have a wonderful neighbour who shovelled my driveway so that I could get out and deliver my Xmas packages to the courier.

2:37 am

Well, past bedtime, so I'll have to be satisfied with nbt and head to the pillow -- farewell all...*poof

My ten year old kitty became playful again after we removed the wall to wall carpet. At first she was discombobulated, losing many familiar scents. The fact that her favorite "toys"â€”no I don't spend actual money on toysâ€”like milk cap rings, crumpled foil, origami birds, etc., slide across the floor revitalized her, happy to say. Kittens are a hoot. We think they're sweet fuzzballs, they are sure they are enormous musclebound bearers of fury...

8:09 am

No, Watson's a Shih Tzu. We've had him for 7 weeks

do chocolate cookies with cayenne rlled in cinaamon sugar sound promising? I can't make cokies for the gang and leave someone out.

3:16 pm

jmcnrick

yum TO they sound very promising

3:16 pm

Glantarell

chocolate cookies rolled in cinnamon sugar sound divine. hate the cyanne ides LOL

3:16 pm

jmcnrick

the bourbon balls start with vanilla wafers so i am guessing they are not vegan

3:17 pm

Glantarell

have either of you tried yorhsire puddings using soy milk if you do vegan cooking?

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

if it is just a tiny bit of cayenne . . . .

3:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

they use oil so i surmise they will be crunchy. i don't want to go out and buy vegan margarine, etc. i think things that try to be what they are not, fod-wise, are unhealthy.

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

no but yorkshire pudding isn't a regular thing stateside

3:17 pm

Glantarell

i don;t use dairy products but really would like to eat a toad in the hole

3:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't know, i won't be eating them. just trying them. i have made three types of cookies so far.

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

most margarine is vegan

3:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

doesn't margarine have milk or mil solids?

3:18 pm

Glantarell

some does, some doesn't - I use Vitalite or Pura brands

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

not regular margine but the ones which say.. . .can't believe its not butter. . .you can also substitute crisco

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have a great recipe for rice pudding made with coconut milk, not adapted, a latin american recipe

3:19 pm

Glantarell

or just use white vegetable fat as a sunstutute in baing

3:19 pm

Glantarell

Trex, if you have that

3:19 pm

Glantarell

baking, even

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

yes crisco is that white vegetable fat. . .

3:20 pm

Glantarell

i make the coconut rice pudding, it's yummy - add slivers of almond to make it yummier

3:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, i do have crisco. but the recipes also use eggs and i do not want to experiment.

3:20 pm

Glantarell

ah, i use eggs - not vegan but dary free so use a lot of vegan recipes

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

you can usually substitute oil plus cream of tartar for egg. . . as long as it asks for a whole egg

3:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

really?

3:21 pm

jmcnrick

i could look up the ratio if that would help TO

3:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

if you sub oil for egg and oil for shortening, sounds dicey

3:21 pm

Glantarell

right, I'm off to amend my online shopping order, happy babbling all

3:21 pm

If you do a lot of baking, cooking try to get hold of a copy of The Food Substitute Bible - David Joachim has helped me when I've run out of thingd

3:40 pm

thanks hoot, i am just trying out one recipe because i am making cookies for my gang and on eis vegan

3:40 pm

hootowl

I got mine through a cooking book club but it's probably in stores and maybe your library

3:41 pm

hootowl

Oh - I fed a vegan for about a year and never made cookies.

3:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

i ofund one for mexican hot chocolate cookies made with oil and no egg. i imagine they will be crunchy

3:42 pm

hootowl

or cake - just food. Pays to be Italian!

3:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes it does.

3:43 pm

hootowl

I would think so. But lots of people like crunchy.

3:43 pm

MollyL

I just read a bunch of egg substitutes for vegan recipes and none of them looked like they would maintain the consistency of a baked good like cookies or cake.

3:44 pm

hootowl

I doubt there is any that would be like a non-veggie recipe.

3:45 pm

stidmama

Use cornstarch instead of egg in cookies, works beautifully.

3:46 pm

stidmama

Ener-G egg replacer works well, but it's commercial so it costs a lot more than finding something else. Different types of baking benefit from different kinds of substitutions.

3:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

the cayenne - hcolate- cinnamon sounds good, it is for a guy

3:46 pm

hootowl

ok - I have to go - good luck TO - let me know how it worked out

3:47 pm

stidmama

veganbakingsecrets.com has a good list of what works well where

Thanks so much, MollyL.

You're welcome gapeach

5:34 pm

rururocks

I'm getting to be a pro at killing the chat these days

5:34 pm

MollyL

How was the French Laundry party?

5:35 pm

rururocks

crowded.

5:35 pm

rururocks

I thought they were going to cut back on the invitees.. and there were a zillion people there

5:35 pm

rururocks

I could barely move

5:35 pm

rururocks

good grub though

5:36 pm

MollyL

And I would repeat that chat is pretty dead these days, but that got weird last night.

5:36 pm

MollyL

A true "rubbing elbows" event

5:36 pm

rururocks

yeah.. I didn't quite follow the line of thinking there

5:37 pm

MollyL

Chat usually gets sparse around the holidays. People are busy with other things.

5:38 pm

rururocks

maybe sometimes people read the chat too fast and don't really take in the comment as it's written and infer another meaning. ... ? .. I really don't know how your comment went to the next level with her.

5:39 pm

MollyL

It's pretty clear that a lot of inferring goes on around here. Such is life.

5:39 pm

rururocks

yes.. not much can be done about that I think.

5:40 pm

rururocks

Sometimes I read discussions and tell myself.. what? How did you get to that?

5:41 pm

Anniebrook

+

5:41 pm

rururocks

man .. am I stuck

5:41 pm

rururocks

I may have to list early

5:45 pm

MollyL

It has been slow going for me too.

5:45 pm

rururocks

i'm guess your comment is on the plus side Annie?

5:45 pm

MollyL

It was a symbolic comment

5:45 pm

rururocks

like a high 5?

5:46 pm

Anniebrook

I am being optimistic about this grid, hence the +

5:46 pm

rururocks

ah

5:46 pm

rururocks

glad someone is

5:47 pm

Anniebrook

Im only on the second row

5:48 pm

rururocks

some words are reaaaally well hidden in this grid

5:49 pm

rururocks

how did you come out with the hurricane Annie..everyone was worried about you?

5:49 pm

Anniebrook

so far, it's fun but I have known it to change quickly

5:50 pm

Anniebrook

I was at my daughter's house in
CT for 2 weeks. I came home Nov 14 and we still havent any power. We are working off huge generators.

5:50 pm

Anniebrook

I walked down 24 flights in the dark with a dinky little flashlight.

5:50 pm

rururocks

good grief

5:50 pm

rururocks

really?

5:51 pm

rururocks

that's almost two months?

5:51 pm

rururocks

do you live in the sticks?

5:51 pm

Anniebrook

and my car was under 6 feet of salt water. So no more car. I leased a Honda Civic. No I live a block away from the Atlantic and it came up and met us.

5:52 pm

rururocks

oh ..i'm sorry to hear that

5:52 pm

rururocks

hopefully Fema is providing aid and support ?

5:53 pm

Anniebrook

All the wires and transformers have to be replaced in all 5 buildings ( co-op). Cost 25 million. I might get paid for my car.

5:53 pm

rururocks

I am guessing it wasn't one of those Fiat's that drive in salt water like the commercial

5:54 pm

Anniebrook

Some folks stayed the entire time. Volunteers were walking up and down the stairs being food and water. Doctors were coming around with meds for diabetics, etc.

5:54 pm

rururocks

wow

5:54 pm

Anniebrook

No, my car was a clunky Ford Taurus.

5:55 pm

Anniebrook

So that is the story of Sandy in this neighborhood. I feel badly for the people who had those homes washed away.

5:56 pm

Anniebrook

6:02 pm

Lizlin

Good morning :0

6:03 pm

rururocks

gm liz

6:03 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Liz :)

6:03 pm

MollyL

Quite an ordeal for you folks, Annie.

6:04 pm

Lizlin

Puts things in perspective - I whinge about the humidity here, but when you read about Sandy and what all you poor people had to endure ...

6:04 pm

Anniebrook

Molly, yes it was but the folks in Staten Island and Long Island had it just as bad and worse.

6:05 pm

MollyL

Is "whinge" Australian for "whine"?

6:05 pm

Lizlin

UK probably but I guess also Aussie. Yes, to whine!

6:05 pm

rururocks

It was heart-breaking that woman screaming from Staten Island on the news

6:05 pm

Anniebrook

Then I think about the horrendous tragedy in CT and I think how grateful and lucky I am.

6:06 pm

MollyL

A lot of things that happened this year were humbling and made people count their blessings.

6:06 pm

Lizlin

That's also so true

6:06 pm

Anniebrook

Yes, I saw that, ruru. It was a cold rainy Saturday and they had nowhere to go and she didnt want to put her children in a shelter.

6:06 pm

rururocks

It was so weird I was at a museum today in Sacramento and there were hundreds of school kids there.. I started to choke up actually.. I can't imaging how sick someone would have to be to harm a child.

6:07 pm

Anniebrook

I cant imagine it either. When Pres. Obama called off the names of the children it was heartwrenching.

6:08 pm

Anniebrook

Maybe something will be done about the sale of assault rifles now.

6:08 pm

Lizlin

I remember how we felt in the UK after the Dublane school shooting - I was a primary teacher! It's just too awful to even contemplate.

6:08 pm

rururocks

I think it is tougher for people like Minver, Doren, stid and others who are teachers and work with kids than me.. but jeez.. I just can't watch it too long on the news

6:09 pm

Anniebrook

Liz, Were children shot. I never heard about that over here.

6:09 pm

rururocks

assault rifles HAVE TO GO

6:09 pm

Lizlin

Yes - it was in Scotland

6:09 pm

MollyL

I think something needs to be done about the availability of mental health help.

6:10 pm

Lizlin

You can google Dunblane School massacre - it was in 1996

6:10 pm

rururocks

that too for sure Molly

6:10 pm

Anniebrook

I will.

6:10 pm

Lizlin

16 kid - 5 and 6 and their teacher

6:11 pm

Anniebrook

Oh my God!

6:11 pm

MollyL

The sad thing is, we can make guns less available, but people will always be able to get their hands on one if they really want to.

6:12 pm

Lizlin

In 1997, according to what I read, handguns were effectively made illegal for private ownership, following Dunblane

6:12 pm

negativeneil

Hey ruru and Lizlin. :)

6:12 pm

Lizlin

Hi Neil :)

6:13 pm

rururocks

hi neil

6:13 pm

Hi. :)

6:13 pm

negativeneil

Check your email?

6:13 pm

rururocks

no.. not yet

6:14 pm

rururocks

just got home about an hour ago

6:14 pm

rururocks

trying to finish this sucker before I screw around

6:14 pm

negativeneil

Yeah. I just realized I didn't do the grid yet today.

6:14 pm

negativeneil

And it's a little quiet here now so I'm seeing what I can get done of it.

6:14 pm

rururocks

get crackin' there

6:15 pm

rururocks

you'll finish before I find my last 30 I'm sure

6:15 pm

negativeneil

I seriously doubt that.

6:15 pm

rururocks

yes you will.. I haven't listed

6:16 pm

negativeneil

Nope. I only just started.

6:16 pm

rururocks

I'm like the little train that could

6:16 pm

Smdnjv

Just my take on the Connecticut shootings is that lawmakers should be looking more at recognizing and treating mental illness moreso than who should or should not have a gun. Just saying!!

6:17 pm

rururocks

these p's are really hard

6:17 pm

rururocks

I don't think guns are the real problem.. smd.. but more the rapid fire assault type weapons

6:18 pm

MollyL

Good point smd. Mentally stable people don't strap guns to themselves and go into an elementary school shooting.

6:18 pm

rururocks

and I agree on the mental health thing

6:19 pm

negativeneil

How did his own mother not realize keeping guns in the house was a bad idea when he wasn't mentally stable? That's what I wonder. She had to know.

6:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

stop voting for republicans who are the ones who closed almost all the psychiatric hospitals (hi all)

6:19 pm

negativeneil

But I guess even so she never would have thought her son could do something like that.

6:19 pm

Lizlin

I agree with that - but Neil beat me to what I was going to say!

6:19 pm

negativeneil

Something I never do, Gwen.

6:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

let's not assume the mother was "all there" either

6:19 pm

Smdnjv

I greatly agree Molly.

6:19 pm

rururocks

I haven't figured that one out either neil

6:20 pm

ivesy3

as a mother of a son with mental issues i think i know enough that i wouldnt have guns in the house. we dont know when they will snap., as a mother you are aware of this

6:20 pm

negativeneil

She seemed to be "all there" from articles I've been reading about it... but who knows.

6:21 pm

negativeneil

No kidding, ivesy3. I wouldn't in any case.

6:21 pm

ivesy3

you may not want to admit it , but deep in your heart you know

6:21 pm

negativeneil

Except it's kind of tempting just lately... with the neighbor we now have living above us.

6:21 pm

rururocks

great point ivesy

6:21 pm

negativeneil

STOMP! STOMP! And vacuuming at 5am, etc.

6:22 pm

Smdnjv

I agree Ivy. We do not have guns either. Not because we are against gun ownership, but I do not thing it best to have them in our house.

6:22 pm

rururocks

*start mumbling about Sam the Dog at the Mail Box when he's there Neil

6:22 pm

ivesy3

been there neil lol i hate it.. had neighbor who sounded like they stomped up stairs.

6:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

crazy people who want to shoot up schools won't be shooting up schools without such easy access to guns, either

6:23 pm

negativeneil

Haha. Yeah, this guy can't walk without stomping. And he loves to vacuum at 5 am-ish and do laundry in the middle of the night too... right above us. When his washing machine goes into spin cycle... ugh.

6:23 pm

ivesy3

true gwen.. and then the coward shot himself.. no satisfactaion for the parents to get justice.. not that it would have made any difference

6:24 pm

rururocks

I"m glad they were spared the trial ivesy

6:25 pm

ivesy3

hadnt thought of that ruru.. would have had to live thru it all over again.

6:25 pm

MimiCat

Neil, I have a full-size gong in my living room and sometimes at 2 in the morning or so my cats will hit it with a tail and off it goes! I sometimes wonder what my downstairs or next-door neighbors are thinking about that!

6:25 pm

MimiCat

BTW, Neil, will be sending em tomorrow.

6:26 pm

there was a great show with Mark Klass on recently talking about the trauma being worse going through a trial for parents

6:27 pm

MimiCat

May sound harsh, but why can't these guys just eliminate the middle step and go right to killing themselves.

6:28 pm

Lizlin

If only life was that simple, Mimi ...

6:28 pm

negativeneil

Totally agree, MimiCat.

6:28 pm

ivesy3

something snaps in them mimi.. its the sadness of mental illness and a very poor health care system. put them on meds and they are ok.. no! they dont take the meds

6:28 pm

negativeneil

They would do society such a favor.

6:29 pm

negativeneil

Exactly, ivesy3. So much mental illness goes and untreated... maybe even undiagnosed.

6:29 pm

rururocks

retramp should be a word

6:29 pm

rururocks

Madonna does it every show shes on

6:30 pm

MimiCat

I agree, ru---especially since many of us re-tramped a lot in the 60's and 70's.

6:30 pm

ivesy3

obviously he should have been in a mental health facilty. but many people with mental issues can fake being ok... my son has fooled many drs.

6:30 pm

negativeneil

Haha! No kidding. She's the "trampiest" too. But that's just a phantom in this grid.

6:31 pm

MimiCat

So what would you think if you heard a gong go off in the middle of the next next door, Neil?

6:31 pm

MimiCat

...night next door.

6:31 pm

ivesy3

i would think someone got lucky lol

6:31 pm

negativeneil

He's above us Mimi, not next door.

6:31 pm

negativeneil

Oh, you mean you heard one go off next door?

Yeah, but if they are coherent enough to bang a gong, perhaps the other banging wasn't so satisfying!!

6:32 pm

rururocks

*show-off*...LOL

6:32 pm

negativeneil

I would think someone got unlucky... they got gonged because their "performance" was so bad. :P

6:32 pm

6:33 pm

the gong show... or am i showing my age?

6:33 pm

negativeneil

You have a gong in your living room... but heard one next door to you?

6:34 pm

MimiCat

I said my cats sometimes hit the gong with their tails and off it goes in the middle of the night and I wonder what MY neighbors think.

6:34 pm

negativeneil

Well I know about "The Gong Show"... that's why I made that joke there. Been told about it enough.

6:34 pm

negativeneil

Oh I see! Haha.

6:34 pm

Lizlin

Neil - if you want a laugh about living in an apartment, watch the short "Flat Life" - it is or was on the UK English curriculum for yr 6 kids!

6:34 pm

negativeneil

Hmmm. Yeah... is it so loud they would hear it? Are you in an apartment or a house?

6:35 pm

MimiCat

An apt. It's a full-size, free-standing gong....BIG.

6:35 pm

negativeneil

Haha. I could probably write a comedy about it, Lizlin... had enough crazy stuff happen in my last building and this one.

6:35 pm

Oh wow, Mimi.

It's a good little cartoon!

Yep. You're unique... just like everyone else. ;)

hello Mother! glad you had a good time. I always enjoy visiting them. :-)

Works both ways, I think. I'm going to fry up some steaks to go with our baked potatoes. Have a lovely evening. Talk to you tomorrow.

7:47 pm

stidmama

sounds delish. We'll have chicken soup if I can ever thaw the darn thing enough to pull the giblets out. Should have grabbed the home-grown bird instead of the last of the store-bought. Oh well...

it's really cold here too stid. I think if it rained it would snow

7:53 pm

stidmama

oh, and I found a "crispy" choclit bar that is safe for me to eat today, so I had one when I got home a little while ago. It was so much sweeter than I remember such things (a little too sweet for my taste)! LOL

7:54 pm

stidmama

quite possibly, ruru -- this cold front seems to have really settled in over our coast

7:55 pm

Okay, that is cold. A lot of people I know who live in California think it's cold when it's 50. For once, we had a milder day than you. High of 55.

7:58 pm

rururocks

yeah.. no skimpy jammies for me tonight

7:58 pm

No ice hockey tonight again, Aloy? How disappointing.

Aloyisius

hi BabbleRabble!.. have my flannel pj's ready though because we have a weather prediction of temps in the mid 40's for a couple of nights.. daggone it, that cold air won't stay north of here! How are you doing?

8:01 pm

stidmama

(((BR))) nice to see you!

8:01 pm

In the mid twenties today .... wore a sweatshirt .... no acute distress ... pax

8:02 pm

stidmama

Love your quote of the day, BR -- it's how I have begun to live my life. :-)

8:03 pm

o-o

Good for you, stid. I try to remember ... it is later than you think.

8:03 pm

stidmama

(I automatically looked at the clock...)

8:03 pm

Aloyisius

Oh yes, I agree stid.. just lost a long time friend and though I was prepared, thanks to "Caring Bridge", I am still having a hard time dealing with it

8:04 pm

onyx

I'm still getting roses blooming in my garden

8:04 pm

stidmama

((Aloyisius)) sorry for your loss. So rough to lose someone at any time.

8:04 pm

Aloyisius

So, "Carpe Diem".. life is precious

8:04 pm

o-o

How wonderful, onyx

8:04 pm

Aloyisius

onyx, that is great

8:04 pm

stidmama

that's nice, onyx! I actually have a pink rose still blooming, but I suspect the snow on it will help it go into hibernation now

8:05 pm

o-o

My condolences, Aloy

8:05 pm

onyx

Just cut the last three. Going to get cold tonight. Still some what unusual to have them this late.

8:06 pm

Aloyisius

ty stid and BR.. so many memories to cherish, what a wonderful person.. i can only hope that I will be remembered with a fraction of the affection

8:08 pm

gapeach

I am sorry for your loss, Aloyisius. Hang onto those wonderful memories.

8:08 pm

o-o

Ask yourself the following questions every day:

What am I thankful for today?
What did I learn today?
Where did I do a good job?
Who was I valuable to today?
How did I take care of myself today?

8:08 pm

Aloyisius

I will, gapeach.. she was a very special person who touched many lives, and I feel privileged to be among those

8:09 pm

stidmama

A good list, BR. *runs to look at website*

8:09 pm

o-o

Hello, gapeach. Hope the bronchitis is gone or at least manageable.

8:09 pm

Aloyisius

excellent, BabbleRabble, puts it all into perspective

8:10 pm

stidmama

That's a great website, BR. have bookmarked it.

8:11 pm

gapeach

HI there, BabbleRabble. Yes, thanks, the new meds are working wonderfully. I was beginning to forget what feeling good felt like. Thanks for asking. Hope you are well also.

8:11 pm

Aloyisius

I need to do a better job of answering "how did I take care of myself today?"

8:12 pm

Aloyisius

bookmarked it too (-:

8:12 pm

stidmama

I need to continue focusing on what I did right instead of obsessing over all the things I didn't do right...

8:13 pm

Aloyisius

how do you find stuff so fast, BabbleRabble? Amazes me!

8:13 pm

gapeach

Amen to that, stiddie.

8:13 pm

o-o

automatic thoughts (negative chatter) is so insidious

8:14 pm

onyx

a lot of wisdom being tossed out tonight.

8:14 pm

o-o

My memory is not completely gone, Aloy.

8:14 pm

stidmama

I am getting better, BR, at saying "next time I will .... (better practice)" instead of "I really messed up" :-) *proud mama look* it has taken me a lot of work to get there.

8:14 pm

Aloyisius

well, I think you have an amazing memory.. kudos

8:14 pm

stidmama

rofl, BR!

8:15 pm

Aloyisius

ya never know what you might learn on Babble..

8:15 pm

8:16 pm

Aloyisius

oh yes, stid.. perfect! (snort)

8:16 pm

onyx

Never to late to learn a new lesson. I have to kvell about my students today taught t he teacher a lesson. Precious moments in the classroom.

8:19 pm

onyx

Students did project based finals today. Some of them actually taught me something I didn't know. Nicely done.

8:19 pm

stidmama

no problemo, aloyisius. It's a rough grid with many common words.

8:19 pm

stidmama

very cool, onyx -- high school? I have enjoyed being a community judge for some of our high school culminating projects.

8:20 pm

Nicely done, onyx

8:24 pm

stidmama

as a new teacher, I love project-based learning but worry about the grading angle. I want to give kids authentic learning experiences, but (when I have my own classroom) I don't want to set myself up for squabbling over why I assigned different grades. Rubrics help some, but there are always subjective elements.

8:25 pm

stidmama

ooh! TED talks! I have been enjoying some of the science talks from last year... will mark that for later.

8:26 pm

Lizlin

I so agree with you stid - project based learning almost became impossible in the UK - became so target based and curriculum set learning objective based! It was so much work to try and meet all targets in project based work!

8:26 pm

Aloyisius

me too.. love TED talks since my daughter told me about them a couple years ago

8:27 pm

onyx

Thanks guys. Aloyisius, i read your profile. Great story. stid, i had a master teacher who taught be radical. why not give everyone a good grade? Grades ar esubjective. One of the girls who taught me something today was a special ed kid, who has speach problems. She got up and presented, struggled to speak words ina

8:27 pm

onyx

oops, in another language. she deserved an a

8:28 pm

Lizlin

One of my special ed kids wrote an amazing letter to Macbeth, as if she was Lady Macbeth after we'd been working on the play. She was dyslexic and aged 11! It was an awesome letter!

8:29 pm

Aloyisius

wow, Liz..

8:29 pm

stidmama

That is so wonderful, onyx! :-) When I student taught I had an extremely shy student. During the parent night (speaking from PB) the kid spoke up loud enough to be heard in the cacaphony of simultaneous presentations!

8:29 pm

onyx

Nice Liz

8:29 pm

stidmama

way to go, Liz!

She's in her 20s today - but I still remember!
