What did you say to the person?
I only went so far as to ask if she really would do that, not to the point of saying "I'll take it." I didn't name the pig and haven't met it, so if she can live with its fate I guess I'll leave her to her conscience. ;-)
I have five preps and have for years, but in a small school it was always a trade-off for small class sizes and less grading. That's really not the case any more. Bob had five last year and got dropped back to four and my best friend at work has been lamenting five preps for years.
I have had six, back when we only had six classes, so I had no prep period. I call that my Nightmare Year. It's also the year I got married in October and was pregnant by February, had over 170 students, had never taught any of the classes before that year, and sponsored the yearbook and junior class. I think I had some kind of death wish going or something.
10930. arkymalarky - 8/17/2004 10:41:46 AM Welcome back, Anomie!
And I'm with Wombat--what happened to Concerned? I thought he left a bit miffed at us but hoped he would return.
Hope you have a great break, Alistair. 10931. alistairconnor - 8/17/2004 7:02:48 PM I didn't name the pig and haven't met it, so if she can live with its fate I guess I'll leave her to her conscience.
You people are such hypocrites. If you can't kill and eat an animal you're on first name terms with, then you shouldn't be eating animals. 10932. PelleNilsson - 8/17/2004 7:56:15 PM Have a nice trip, alistair. 10933. Macnas - 8/17/2004 8:00:27 PM Say hello to the pigs for me. 10934. alistairconnor - 8/17/2004 8:27:31 PM ... you talking about the English?
New Zealanders know how to deal with them. I never met an Englishman I wouldn't eat. 10935. Macnas - 8/17/2004 9:29:51 PM The English? Never.
I couldn't handle the indigestion. 10936. Magoseph - 8/17/2004 10:10:02 PM Well, Ali, have a great trip and please drive carefully. 10937. Macnas - 8/17/2004 10:28:28 PM Alistairs already so far to the left he's going to end up in a ditch. 10938. marjoribanks - 8/17/2004 11:22:56 PM Not that I'm one to gloat or be indiscreet.
However, I must rub it in that I have seen current photos of our cyber-pair, Woden and A-5.
Now, till this point, I have felt - rather proprietarily - that our old pal Res was the catch. Not just in this case, but in whichever eventuality saw him paired up.
Now, um, I've seen the photos, the visual evidence.
Um again, it's Res who is the really lucky one in this coupling. Let's not be mistaken or make any bones about it.

Kudos to the couple, they're a lovely match in all ways. 10939. judithathome - 8/18/2004 12:14:53 AM Is there any way in which you could share this evidence...we want to see, too! 10940. marjoribanks - 8/18/2004 12:27:49 AM
Nope.
10941. judithathome - 8/18/2004 12:33:40 AM Oh well.
Thanks for at least letting us know what you thought of them!
I kinda felt like they were both as good looking as they are smart, anyhow. 10942. Jenerator - 8/18/2004 1:47:50 AM I have seen a pic of Resonance and let's just say that Marjori is being very, very gracious! 10943. judithathome - 8/18/2004 2:01:59 AM Well, I've seen a picture of Res, too, and I think Marj is spot on...different tastes, I suppose.
10944. Jenerator - 8/18/2004 2:05:17 AM Biting tongue 10945. judithathome - 8/18/2004 2:37:45 AM Well, Jen...we're all entitled to differences of opinion. The picture I saw of him was certainly not that of an ogre.
I happen to think Brad Pitt is not that attractive but millions of people disagree with me. I can live with that. 10946. woden - 8/18/2004 3:54:47 AM Judith, you're going to have mail in a minute. 10947. woden - 8/18/2004 4:03:38 AM Occasionally there are mortals who can't sense A-5's magnificence. Sad, but it's for their own protection. 10948. Jenerator - 8/18/2004 4:54:06 AM Thank God for mortality!
