Sounds like a great job for you, Ms. No, and I agree with everyone who has said they are lucky to have you. You are going to be one of those teachers that students never forget. 24356. judithathome - 9/6/2008 5:24:46 PM My little 6 year old boyfriend next door just came over dressed in camoflage vest and helmet with a toy gun and all the accoutrement of a child MP...complete with hand-held walkie-talkie and hand cuffs. His uncle, Steven, the kid I watched grow into manhood from the age of five, sent him the outfit from Fort Bragg, where he is awaiting transfer to Afghanistan in November.
Francisco rang the doorbell and waited from me on the little chair I have just for him on the front porch...he said "You're gonna want to take a picture of me in this." And he was right. ;-)
24357. Ms. No - 9/6/2008 5:40:39 PM Okay, a thread it will be! Coming soon to a Mote near you. 24358. robertjayb - 9/6/2008 6:00:09 PM Yea, Yea, Yea... 24359. magoseph - 9/6/2008 6:52:33 PM Oui, Oui, Oui... 24360. arkymalarky - 9/6/2008 8:02:33 PM Cool!
I got an email forward from someone in my grassroots network about Palin's remark in her speech about grassroots organizers. They're sending around a petition wanting her to apologize for dissing organizers. It strikes me as sort of funny/ironic because grassroots organizers run the full gamut of issues and politics, and now they're a group that's collectively insulted. I agree with them, but it's just funny, and of course I'll sign the petition. 24384. wabbit - 9/7/2008 9:47:01 PM I'm going to move the bulk of this conversation into the Politics thread. 24385. wabbit - 9/7/2008 9:54:27 PM The politics discussion has been moved to the Am. Politics thread, beginning at Message # 34209 in thread 155.
24387. jexster - 9/7/2008 10:05:21 PM Sorry Wab..please move my last
I was sitting back trying to enjoy Rafa's comeback at the US Open and kept thinking about Jen slithering around her because she hasn't the courage to commend the faith that she claims is in her 24388. magoseph - 9/7/2008 11:21:11 PM Sorry for not doing my job, wabbit. 24389. wabbit - 9/7/2008 11:38:44 PM np, mags and jexster.
Mags, I wouldn't have bothered had it been just a few posts, but once it got over twenty, I figured it had legs and should be moved. I knew you'd move it, but since I was here… 24391. Trillium - 9/8/2008 2:16:59 AM Hi Jenerator and Judith. And others.
I have stacks of books to read for classes, but I just wanted to stop by because [sniff...wail...] I miss my little WX fixes. Are there other places where WX people post? [longingly] 24394. Jenerator - 9/8/2008 12:38:00 PM Hey Trillium! It's good to see you. 24395. judithathome - 9/8/2008 2:55:45 PM Okay, Guys...move the political talk to Politics.
Hey, Trillium! Welcome aboard!
One thing you can depend on at The Mote...it's always up and running! I think WC has shot itself in the foot for the last time.... 24396. magoseph - 9/8/2008 9:48:16 PM So, what is happening with Random--do you know, Jen, Judith? 24397. Jenerator - 9/9/2008 2:09:14 PM I have no idea. I cannot get around much. I went to one forum that was still available (though radically different in format) and hardly anyone was there, and no one knew what was happening. 24398. judithathome - 9/9/2008 2:17:02 PM Rumor has it that WC is down for the count. 24399. magoseph - 9/9/2008 2:47:39 PM That's just too bad, ladies. Thanks. 24400. marjoribanks - 9/10/2008 6:10:58 AM If WC is dead, why not try one more time to attract a nucleus of new posters to this blessed ol' place?
How about a WC Refugee All-Stars thread, plus dedicated new threads for core discussants of various topics who want to keep the discussion going? Perhaps recruit gatekeeper-types like PP?
Long live The Mote! 24401. iiibbb - 9/10/2008 1:20:02 PM What is WC? Isn't that European for bathroom?
