12497. judithathome - 12/4/2004 8:20:58 PM Hey, y'all...wish everyone could join us today at the studio of this glass artist and his partner, who is a potter. We have several of her pieces and plan to buy one of the glass things today. It's an open house all day and into the night and is being catered by a Cajun chef from New Orleans. Their studio and house are on a cliff overlooking the lake...nice people, great fun day ahead! 12498. judithathome - 12/5/2004 6:22:27 AM The party was great! And so was dinner with 7 friends after it. 12499. arkymalarky - 12/5/2004 7:01:50 AM Sounds wonderful, Judith.
I'm tied to this paper until Christmas. I didn't even go to Old Washington today like I'd planned.
Maybe next year. 12500. Ulgine Barrows - 12/5/2004 10:00:35 AM That does sound like an excellent evening.
WHIPPING POST! 12501. Magoseph - 12/5/2004 6:03:45 PM How long did you stay at the party, Judsie? Di you have a nice time?
Hi, Ulgine, are you ready for Christmas?
What kind of paper are you writing, Arky?
Chilly and dark here, everyone is huddling home, I think. I saw no one on my walk to town and back this morning, not even the usual Sunday morning traffic. 12502. judithathome - 12/5/2004 6:13:48 PM We stayed from 4 til 6, then went out to eat with friends.
Going again today...the play and dinner out. It's a good thing I work out three times a week! 12503. arkymalarky - 12/5/2004 6:51:28 PM It's a lengthy white paper (30 pages or so) on the recent education reforms in AR that's supposed to go to the publisher the day after Christmas. It's very comprehensive and has involved months of research, reading legislation and studies, and data analysis. I've written about half and am preparing to write the rest. I've read most of the material and am now rereading and tagging what I'm using in the paper in preparation to flesh out the rest of it. The subdivisions are already in place and I have to write those I haven't already written and annotate the whole thing. 12504. alistairconnor - 12/6/2004 6:26:23 PM Spelling test.
24. Bitterly disappointed.
(dissapointed?)
12505. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 7:04:40 PM SIMPLE MAN!
25/25 and the last time I got accused of reading the dictionary I was in the 8th grade. Oddly, even now the implication rankles however pleased I am to have scored well. 12506. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 7:05:11 PM Uh, that was a two part post. The ALLCAPS were for iiibbb and Ulgine. 12507. PelleNilsson - 12/6/2004 7:06:01 PM 23. But one of the errors was a word I have never seen before and which is not listed in Merriam-Webster. 12508. Macnas - 12/6/2004 7:29:38 PM 22 for me. 12509. Magoseph - 12/6/2004 7:34:26 PM You scored 24 out of a possible 25
Genius. We hope you don't get indigestion from all the dictionaries you've eaten.
I don't know which one I mispelled--don't have time to find out. The plumber is here since eight this morning--huge leaks from the main bathroom...the other two are: one in the basement, the other in the the guest house. It will be going up and down or trudge in the snow back and forth for a while. This house has got to go--tired of it.
Hi, everybody! Mac, lovely rendition of your Christmas shopping. Arky, I'm thinking of you. 12510. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 7:40:17 PM Pelle,
Yes, I found a couple of words there that were unfamiliar to me --- one of which I'd never seen before. They seemed to follow vague and amorphous "rules" that were laid down in my synapses somewhere so I just forged ahead and got lucky I guess.
I can't now remember what any of the odd words were, however. 12511. PelleNilsson - 12/6/2004 7:41:52 PM What's wrong with reading the dictionary? 12512. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 7:50:41 PM Nothing, actually, but it was a taunt that stung back in gradeschool. 12513. Magoseph - 12/6/2004 7:59:17 PM Ouch, I can't even spell "misspelled' correctly!
The plumber finally left. We will have a new toilet, new pipes, and a new floor tomorrow. There's no end fixing things that go wrong in a house built in 1927. I'm going to bed now because I stayed up most of the night emptying buckets of water. 12514. alistairConnor - 12/6/2004 9:07:08 PM I spotted my error:
Resusitate
Resuscitate
Rescusitate
I was bitterly dissappoiointed because I found the test dead easy, and expected a perfect score.
Not sure why I got that one wrong. The right answer still looks wrong to me.
Love the winner's name : Gayathri Panikker. Surely some mistake? 12515. alistairConnor - 12/6/2004 9:08:24 PM Hell, did the plumbing ruin the floor?
I guess it was the sort of floor that, as soon as you rip up a bit of it to replace some plumbing, isn't worth repairing...
what are you replacing it with? 12516. alistairConnor - 12/6/2004 9:10:28 PM Nyetskaya, I'm glad you're not calling me a simple man just because you beat me at the spelling test... though I aspire to simplicity...
but I don't have a clue what you people are talking about. Song titles I suppose.
