    Gifts for Teachers

    I think getting a gift to show your appreciation is a really nice idea. I would only suggest nothing that involves ceramics or candy. I've gotten more mugs and candy than I can account for. No matter what you get him I'm sure he will appreciate the thanks.

    Teachers, I'd love to hear your ideas...

    I'm living this right now, sort of. We have 20 kids ranging from 3rd to 9th grade, and all ability levels. We have them grouped in three "chunks": 3-4th, 5/6th, and 7-9th. They do all their subjects within their chunk except for math which is done individually by grade. I really like...

    Turning in my "man card"

    I used to love watching the game, but since moving overseas I've totally lost track of football. On Friday my students told me the game was this weekend and who was playing.

    joe paterno has died

    That is so sad. I grew up thinking he was a part of our family because my parents talk about him so much. Always thought he would go on the football field...

    Remember to call your credit card company before unusual charges!

    I live overseas, but still have an American bank account and debit card. Even though I've talked to my bank several times I still get regular calls from them saying they are putting a hold on my card because of unusual activity. It can be inconvenient at times, but I'm sure glad they keep and...

    For those that have had to put down a pet?

    We had our dog returned and my parents buried her on our property. I don't know exactly where they put her, but it's a huge comfort to know that she was placed with loves and wasn't just tossed somewhere.

    Is Africa really like the Lion King?

    I live in Africa and it looks nothing like The Lion King, more like Aladdin. BUT there are other places that I have visited that you expect to see Timon and Pumbaa coming around the corner. All depends on where you are.

    Pink Stuff: Little Girl In Toy Store Rails Against Gender Stereotypes

    I have always disliked pink. When I was in pre-school my teacher talked to my mom because she was concerned that I said my favorite color was black when all the other little girls were picking pink and purple. I think that kids should be exposed to all sorts of thing and then decide what...

    so who here travels to Europe...

    This summer I sent 5 days in Amsterdam, Holland. I would highly recommend it! I always had negative perceptions of Amsterdam, but it was a great place to be with so much to do! There are many museums, markets, and other things to see. We spent one day at a flee market, another going to the...

    Does your dog like unusual foods?

    My dog loves baby carrots, but will refuse big carrots that are cut into circles. She also love ice cubes, but too many of those and she revisits them and you end up cleaning them up off the floor.:sick:

    More Fluff ~ Silly things you thought as a kid.

    In the church that I grew up in the kids would sit with the adults during the singing and then would be sent to their class during the sermon. I would get frustrated every week because when it was time to go the pastor would tell the kids "you are the Smiths." I knew that I was the only Smith...

    More Fluff ~ Silly things you thought as a kid.

    I thought that when a TV show said it was filmed "live in front of a studio audience" that they filmed the show every time it aired, like a play. I thought that when a road had a sign that said "No Outlet" it meant that they didn't have electricity and could never figure out why they would...
