AMJ Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 No thank you on the fish, but you win the internet for most informative and entertaining update. I do feel your pain regarding the care and keeping of small animals and such. I like those blinking, jumpy emoticons. I KNOW, RIGHT??? I have a strong feeling I would love Brave Writer because what pieces I have garnered really resonate with me. I do like the Windows to the World/Teaching the Classics combo I'm teaching at co op this year. It is not high output and is incremental and formulaic. It does put creative and natural writers in a box, but I've told them they can escape the box after learning the formula. It is heavily literature analysis-driven. I have a crush on Adam Andrews of the TtC DVDs. (Also Richard R of AoPS, but this is not a math post.) We did AoA and then The Argument Builder, which was more along the same vein as AoA. We did them orally because we are, apparently, a low output family pre-high school. It's coming. I promise you that. I've been there for a while now. :laugh: Thank you, thank you very much!

AMJ Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Amusing stories from my odd day... Went to the Asian market for the first time. Had to go to the bathroom so I went to the Women's bathroom (mall set up with Men's on the right and Women's on the left). Walked past a man peeing in a toilet with the door wide open. Turned quickly and walked out. An Asian lady walked out quickly and warned me in a thick accent to not go in. I nodded with wide eyes. Ds12 was in the men's restroom so when he came out I quickly waved him over FAR away from the restrooms and explained the odd man in the women's restroom. After that man left, I went in but did not go near the toilet he used. I think he was just clueless because he didn't look drunk or homeless but what the heck, he was old enough to see that there were no urinals? The Asian market was odd and interesting, but it smelled of shrimp and raw fish so I could not abide by it. I got a couple of things and left. Then I went to the salvage grocery store where we get a lot of quality food for a low, low price. Filled the trunk for $100. While there in the frozen foods, an older man asked me if I was gluten free. I told him I was. He asked if I was vegan. :confused1: So I said no. Then he asked if it was because I couldn't get my husband to give up the meat. :huh: So I said that I like meat, too, but eat mostly chicken. Big mistake. Then he told me how most chicken has salmonella and I was spreading salmonella all over my kitchen. So that's when I stopped responding. :glare: What an odd day! Very odd! And here I misread once again, and thought you went to the "savage grocery store". I did wonder why some guy would think you were vegan if you were in a savage store.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to watch the video (never heard of her). So THAT'S why everyone is talking names.

No dog or cat ate me today, although some of them wanted to. My kitten resembles a little gray rocket speeding around and hiding behind furniture so that she won't have to go to her bedroom and give me five minutes of peace.
