Here's what happens. I say, "I think that reusing the cup on multiple trips is stealing. In fact, I think it is. It's extremely petty theft, but it is theft. That's my opinion. I'm not going to say that the people who do it are any worse than I am, because surely I have my own sins to...

There's a difference between judging life choices and judging people. If I say, for example, that I think that it is better not to take kids out of vacation for Disney trips, I'm gonna have a dozen angry people on this board calling me judgemental when I have every right to make that judgement...

I understand that for you it is merely a store.

Maybe it is this way for you. For some of us, books are something much more special. I still feel like an 8 year old buying my first book with my birthday money every time I walk out of a bookstore. Reading this thread I realize that not everyone thinks this way, but I can also see that I'm not...

I think people who love books are just naturally like this. To us book stores are kind of like libraries and we love to look for books in peace and quiet. The problem is that with the cafes and the sections with gifts, dvds and cds have compromised the integrity of the "book stores" and made...

Just speaking for myself, I do the same thing with magazines. Many times I can't tell if the magazine is going to "deliver" the fascinating articles it promises on the front and I need to stand there and read a bit. "Lose 10 pounds in a month!" "The only guide you are ever going to need to...

I am a bookstore junkie and have never seen anyone doing research in a bookstore. What have you all seen? People taking notes? People reading half way through. I always read a little, particulary if it is nonfiction, to see if I like the writing style or to see if it is going to cover what I...

But isn't this what I've said, a dozen times in this thread???? Yes, we need classes for children who are gifted. I've said this many, many times in this thread and I'll just say "uncle" and use the word. You can shoot the messenger, me in this case, if you like, but there is a negative...

Well, yes, over the past many years I've seen the parents who can't have a conversation without the words "my gifted child" and the parents who :rolleyes: over it. Over and over and over. Even on this board. I didn't invent the controversy. No, my kids are "gifted" for lack of a better...

If I seem upset I think it's just that I feel i've been misinterpreted here. That's all, I was just making an observation. I've always wondered how we started using that word in this way. Maybe I'm wrong that the word itself is the problem.

Again, I'm not saying that any of this is not true. I'm not directing this comment to you, CJ, because yours was an honest comment, but to those you who posted with anger - please save your anger for those who want to hurt your child's education. That person is not me. I'm just talking about...

Well thanks for the honest disagreement thanks for at least understanding what I am trying to saying. Maybe it is silly because it is just a word. It just seems to be such a loaded word these days.

Maybe you're right about other groups of parents with talented kids being the same with how their kids are described; I just didn't see this as much. If a kid was a talented artist, his stuff was put on display and everyone knew he was a great painter or whatever. You could tell who the great...

I've read the replies and guess I'll just go back to the planning boards and give up on this if no one is really reading what I've said. Of course we need a "gifted program" and gifted classes. I've said this in how many posts? My problem is with the language used for it, not for the...

Yes, I know. I just think it's a bad word and I wonder why it is accepted. Honestly, the hostility parents get when they talk about their gifted children could be lessened with another, less precious, word. Just my opinion, of course. Again, why not make it more like college. The idea is not...

Oops sorry! I see the other thread about it! I just couldn't remember the name!

Oh gee I'm an idiot! I just started a thread asking about this! I just couldn't remember the name!

Hoop de doo is way more fun! The Luau, well, I guess all WDW fanatics should do it once, but me? Once was enough for me. We do Hoop de doo at least once a year. It's corny as can be, just so you know!

The one in Asia near Expedition Everest? Will it be a sit down place? I think AK needs a nice one. Know when it will be open?

Jiko has become our very favorite!!!! It's a really special place! Another Raglan Road! Someone tell me what that is!!!
