As an Observant Being in a human Body...I have seen enough anomolies even among a Smart Dog and a Dumb one...to KNOW that thinking ALL of anything is NOT the issue. Fundamentalists...suck...and I have also met a few Genuinely kind ones.
But I do Not Blame them for the woes of this Journey.

APRIL 4, 2010:
Mercury and Mars square off, producing a volatile balance between saying and doing. People will expect one another to put money where their mouths are, so this is no time to talk about actions that you really have no intention of taking. Also, it's easy to see the flaws and point them out, but it's far better to offer up solutions instead of a critique.

my halibut king just called me and told me that the vet said we could have her for one more day, so yes i will love our rat until we have to put her to sleep, and then I will love our fish.
Oh can you be my brother AND my sister? :)

i dont have any walls, and no, i dont think you do, because those that live in walls aren't interested in having them broken down. HOWEVER, if someone peeks over the wall, and holds out their hand, and asks for help to climb OVER the wall to the other side, that's another story. :)

so after tomorrow, we will only have our one Betta fish.

I never thought a rat would make a good pet! She is our last pet. We lost our 2 dogs last year, and our cat who lived to be 19! now we only have a rat and a fish. and the fish, proportionately, has outlived all of them!! weird...ironic....

HI Jimmy. Tomorrow will be a sad day. Our pet Rat will be put to sleep. She is the sweetest rat in the world. I never thought we would have a pet rat, but a friend of mine's granddaughter couldn't keep her anymore, and asked us to take her for a week while they went on vacation, and she was so sweet and loving, but she starting getting a tumor and now she can't use her leg. And now she's in pain. So we have one more day to love her, and then she will be gone. :(

well this is my last message. carry on zar

this past year they did get into a very good school finally.
are your kids going to college? the home schooled kids I have met usually do much better initially on testing, and as long as they are prepared for what can happen in college and have a good work ethic they do pretty well, if not better, than otherwise educated kids.
->-^-:P

thats awesome zar.
->-^-:P

I considered it, and probably would have had I been able to stay home. I had to go back to work when my kids were 2 and 5 and my husband was laid off. He went back to school and got a tech degree, but the jobs have been far and few between. The "plan" was that as soon as he got a full time permanent job I would go back home, and I probably would have home schooled, considering the choices here. but, that plan did not work out.
->-^-:P
|
|
|
Really you home schooled both your kids, by yourself?
->-^-:P
|
|
|
not supposed to say such things, working for the system and all....
->-^-:P
|
|
|
it turns out that the career path for teaching happens to be within the established educational system, so really I have no choice, unless the framework changes a whole lot. This could potentially happen as technology becomes more and more available and versatile. More and more people can become self-educated if there are quality teaching tools online...maybe we wouldn't need teachers anymore? (did i say that out loud?) haha.
->-^-:P
|
|
|
Basically I asked myself, "what would I do, if I were a grownup?" and the answer was, "I would be a teacher."
->-^-:P
|
|
|
I think that yes, it will, simply because when I am as clearheaded and well as I can be, I am able to envision myself teaching. I think there is a huge lack of caring, competent teachers out there who are able to keep the attention of a class, care enough to deal with individual students' problems, and still be able to keep discipline.

i think in the case of yours and gnarly's viewpoints, i will just have to agree to disagree, in the area that you know is touchy for me. I felt that it would have been irresponsible of me to NOT respond, however, I really just don't want to dialogue about that particular subject...
->-^-:P
|
|
|
yes i mean your posts. I drive around between work and home and actually THINK about whether I am going to respond to the one you sent where you didnt want me to be mad at you. today i decided, since you were on at the same time as me, to answer you. ha.
