bauterscyll, that kind of thing.
O, that is excellent! 17343. jayackroyd - 11/3/2005 1:49:01 PM I'll let you know how the monster naming thing comes out.
On a different topic, I'm convinced that this is spudboy:
Newspeak, you may recall, has a special quality: It combines two ideas that, conventionally speaking, are virtual (if not precise) opposites, and presents them as identical -- thereby nullifying the meaning contained in each word: "War is Peace." "Ignorance is Strength." "Freedom is Slavery." -- David Neiwert
Am I wrong about that?
17344. judithathome - 11/3/2005 1:57:54 PM No, you're not wrong...that's our Spudboy! 17345. judithathome - 11/3/2005 2:00:37 PM I am up early because I had to drink a bottle of "tracer" for my cat scan today. Have to have another bottle in 2 hours. This stuff is truly vile; it tastes like baby powder smells.
I hope they decide what's wrong with my gallbladder today because I certainly don't want baby powder for breakfast ever again. 17346. thoughtful - 11/3/2005 2:21:30 PM good luck judithah...if they decide to remove it, get it done laporoscoply...mom & dad both had it done that way with fairly easy recovery. 17347. wonkers2 - 11/3/2005 2:31:22 PM Is he implying our president is a practitioner of "newspeak?" 17348. jayackroyd - 11/3/2005 4:54:49 PM He has a site www.orcinius.com which has been getting linked to at some of the high volume blogosphere sites, in this case dailykos.com. This, in particular, is in reference to Michelle Malkin, who apparently worked for him sometime in the past. 17349. jayackroyd - 11/3/2005 4:58:31 PM Sorry. Here's a correct link for spudboy's blog. 17350. judithathome - 11/4/2005 5:39:03 AM The scan wasn't too bad...except for my little-kiddy veins which made the dye hard to deliver. The inside of my right elbow is all sorts of black and blue and green. She had to stab me 5 times and mentioned cutting into it when she finally hit on the sixth attempt. Yowza! 17351. Magoseph - 11/4/2005 4:41:54 PM Hello, everyone. Judith, when are you getting the results of your Cat scan?
Sixty-six degrees predicted for noon --the sun is already warm. We plan to spend the day mostly outside, raking and burning leaves. How about you, I mean what are you planning for the weekend? 17352. Jenerator - 11/4/2005 9:04:26 PM Arky,
I do enjoy reading your experiences in education. Sincerely, I believe you were meant to be a teacher. The best ones are those who love what they do. I know that I am not a great teacher. I am a good teacher, but not a great one. My heart isn't in it the way yours is.
Judith,
I didn't know that you were going through this! I hope they catch whatever it is in time to treat it without more foul tasting medicines!
Hi Mags! 17353. judithathome - 11/4/2005 10:34:24 PM I should get the results on Monday.
Today I bought the cutest little rosemary tree...I put it out on the porch and anyone coming to the door gets a nice whiff of it. 17354. Jenerator - 11/4/2005 10:38:55 PM I've seen rosemary topiaries, those are cool.
What other herbs do you have Judith?
I fear that my oregano is taking over the backyard even though I planted it in a pot. The dog ate some but spilled some of it in the grass and I am finding patches of it everywhere. 17355. judithathome - 11/4/2005 10:48:07 PM The tree is the only thing I have as far as herbs go...we have a small bougainvillea that is still alive after 6 months, though! 17356. Jenerator - 11/4/2005 10:58:31 PM That's my favorite plant! Every year, I have to replace it because of the Texas weather, though. 17357. arkymalarky - 11/5/2005 12:40:48 AM Thanks Jen! I've had enough experience in different districts to know that a lot of it has to do with the environment. I'm very glad that 25 years ago I changed school districts rather than just leaving teaching. The state education environment in AR is changing in such a way that I doubt I'll be at it much longer. I don't think I'm a great teacher, but I do think I've become a good advocate for teaching and rural schools. If the district I'm in now consolidates, I will definitely leave the profession.
17358. arkymalarky - 11/5/2005 12:42:14 AM I hope you get a good report on Monday, Judith! 17359. Jenerator - 11/5/2005 1:11:51 AM arky,
I have considered that maybe some of the issues we face in my school have a lot to do with the district itself, but my friends in other districts complain about the same problems.
Incidently, six guns have been confiscated this week from *my* school!
17360. judithathome - 11/5/2005 1:13:19 AM Yes, it's just an experiment for us. I'll report back on whether we have to make it a yearly thing. 17361. judithathome - 11/5/2005 1:16:46 AM(How odd...part of my post was missing...I meant to say my neighbor has banana trees, plumeria trees, and Hawaiian ginger plants around his pool and they survive the Texas winters.)
