Well school is back on Thursday and DD#1 has been going for 4 years now, but DD#2 is just starting. So I have spent the day sewing in name labels and making sure that all her uniform fits - aww she looks cute, but she can't be old enough for school already, can she? It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago...

Thank goodness! This was one of the wackiest teaching years I've ever had. I was only there for one year - high school math. They put every freshman in Algebra, fail 50-60% of them, then say they will not change the way they teach math. And this has been going on for 5-6 years. There are a...

All right, back to getting some sewing and quilting done!! I spent only two years teaching in a middle school computer lab, then our two computer lab jobs were done away with. That meant doing the resume-and-interview thing within the school district! It took about 8 weeks, but I finally landed...

My DD and I will be traveling to Glasgow (then on to Stirlingshire) July 20-26. Woo Hoo! We're getting pretty excited! My mom, my brother and his family are also going, but their trip is longer. We're hoping to see many of our relatives (aunts, uncles, cousins) while there, as well as do a bit...

Dear Mom And Dad, Our Scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and are worried. We are okay. Only one of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Adam when it happened. Oh...

The following were winners of the "New York" magazine contest in which contestants were to take a well-known expression in a foreign language, change a single letter, and provide a definition for the new expression. HARLEZ VOUS FRANCAIS - Can you drive a French motorcycle? IDIOS AMIGOS -...

A friend sent this scrambled word to me this am - she believes that it is a word associated with volleyball? I don't have a working knowledge of the sport to come up with anything useful to help her - I thought that someone on the group might have suggestions for an English word that makes sense...

who is willing to correspond with a class of six year olds (through me) by email who are learning about Thailand. They are the most gorgeous bunch of kids. They recently (yesterday) went to the Melbourne Zoo and are now writing a letter to their "imaginary" friend in Thailand, telling him...

In Russia there lived a man named Rudolf. He and his wife had several children and, one day while getting everyone dressed and off to school, Rudolf mentioned to his wife that it was raining and the kids needed their coats and boots. His wife said to him that he was wrong and it was actually...

Enjoy, jennellh. After his exam, the doctor said to the elderly man: 'You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?' 'In fact, I do.' said the old man. 'After I have sex, I am usually cold and chilly; and then, after I have sex with her the...

This was forwarded to me this am - An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow." The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the...

Hello all, I received a serger for Christmas, and I was quite keen to use it. I threaded it according to the directions, and used it to mend some of Mark's pajama bottoms. It worked like a dream. Now it just wants to skip stitches, get tangled up, and in general do nothing that I ask it to. ...

I know I don't post often, but this is an extreme circumstance. My oldest DS, John, and his SO, Stephi, have been together almost 7 years. This morning, she packed her things (clothes, jewelery, etc) and left. She also left my grandchildren, aged 4, 18 mo, and 8 mo, with their daddy. He's a pretty...

O'Leary showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. O'Leary had never been seen in church in his life. After Mass, the priest caught O'Leary and said "O'Leary, I am so glad you decided to come to Mass, what made you come?" O'Leary said, "I got to be honest with...
