Another Lynn Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hemingway - we read Old Man and the Sea (maybe 10th grade ?) and For Whom the Bell Tolls in 11th grade. Not a fan. But when I think of Hemingway, I think of the old joke that used to get passed around the internet that gave famous people's answers to the question "Why did the chicken cross the road?" ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone. http://www.thejournal-news.net/opinion/commentary/here-s-looking-at-you-why-did-the-chicken-cross/article_a6207336-ce77-11e3-9a75-0019bb2963f4.html 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I got a birthday card once that said "Why did the chicken cross the road?" When you opened it there was a picture of a dead chicken on the side of the road and it said "Because chickens are really, really stupid." It was a really funny card. I tried to Google it, but couldn't find and now it doesn't seem very funny. Sorry I tried. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professormom Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Ug. Just found out the Cincinnati convention bumped up their usual dates by two weeks. Which means I can't go:-( A friend of mine and I like to go for an escape. We stay at a nice hotel, eat at all the trendy restaurants, and hit a tasteful bar or two for cocktails. Spend way too much money, eat too much, and sometimes run into SWB at a restaurant. Everyone, of course, knows I am her bff. #fangirl Nephew's wedding trumps homeschool convention.

Most years, it runs right around mid April. This year, I believe it is Mar 31- Apr 2 or something like that. It was nice weather too, coming from the frozen tundra. Cincinnati felt like Florida to me. But I am sure 2 weeks won't make a difference in the weather. It just means I have to miss:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Some friends of mine were attacked by a tapir. The story was horrible. Dad was in the jungle without his machete when he was attacked. He was in his pajamas and barefoot. Mom couldn't find the machete but ran out and they beat him off with a flashlight but he chased them home and got into their house. They have four children 7 and under. The kids are okay but mom and dad are beat up really really badly from getting it out of the house and the attack in the jungle. It was hard to read. They need medical attention, but it's a 3 days walk to the doctor. They're missionaries in Brazil, but she was my maid of honor. I will never see her again, but thanks to technology they email us regularly from the middle of absolutely nowhere. They eat very strange things.

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I am taking the ADD approach to chores this morning. "Oh. I have to fold this laundry." Fold some laundry. "Oh, before I forget I better call Mom." Try to call mom but find out that she's out partying or something at age 90 since she's not answering. "Oh, look. I need to unload the dishwasher." Unload some of the dishes. "I need socks. I'd better fold some more laundry." "Oh the YouTube video has ended. I'll put on another one." "Oooh. WTM." Do you think that eventually I'll get everything done? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I just finished reading that blog post. That was a different attack to another missionary family not too far away.

Half of the laundry that is upstairs for folding is folded. A tiny bit has been put away. I dealt with the compost - sort of. I gave up on calling my mom for now. I've changed YouTube videos.

Tsuga Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I seriously attempted to read Hemmingway. For the life of me, I couldn't understand his writing. I'd read a couple pages and had no idea what he was talking about. And then I'd read it again. And I still didn't know what he was talking about. So I put it down and went away. And then tried again later. Still had no idea. So I quit. I think I was trying to read "A Farewell to Arms". Maybe there's something wrong with me. There's not that much to get. That's why I don't like Hemingway. It's very navel gazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
