Somebody spent all of study hall doing this, instead of reviewing biology for the test Monday...somebody is soooo going to fail....  more»

Lots of room for interpretation, here! BD was your last rebound? Do you mean you actually know the man, or that you turned to his music to heal the rebound wounds?…  more»

I get the impression the pic is taken thru the window of a moving vehicle, which would explain the blurriness...well some of it. If they were leaning their elbow on the frame of the window, the vibrations might travel up their arm, and blur the shot.…  more»

I have had some opportunity to study the change in requirements over time to immigrate legally into the US. It's a lot harder now (and has been since about WW2) than it was say 100 or 125 years ago. There are many, many more requirements now.…  more»

This brought back memories of holding half a popsicle for the family dog to lick...and watching her tongue flap back and forth because it was so cold! She enjoyed popsicles even more than icecream, but there was more mess factor because the icecream was always in a cup.…  more»

BTW--I seem to get way more than 2 Finds a day, lately. Is this happening to everyone or am I posting on random stuff that just appears?  more»

Librarian, thanks for the background on chihuahuas, we were just wondering where/how they appeared the other day. Interesting to note that in the 1930's-40's they were acceptable as a man's "accessory"--many wealthy and fashionable men carried them on their arms, just as women of a certain type carry lapdogs. Xavier Cugat was famous for the chihuahua that went everywhere he did in the crook of his elbow.…  more»

Ryan's not dead, he "ditched out", ie ditched his friend(s) and went home. Probably because he wasn't enjoying sitting in a bar with his drunk buddy. "Mine Shaft"--ironic as all get-out.…  more»

in them (sorry about the broken post, it went all by itself) but I could never manage "their" and "friend" until 8th grade. A teacher who was not usually my favourite person finally realised I really didn't know I was getting it wrong. I can still hear her voice saying, "It's fry-end" when I have to write it.…  more»

As we all know, Spider Man, Sponge Bob and Mickey Mouse are important Bible heroes....what ARE kids learning in Sunday School these days? LOL

The comments by the teachers reminded me of my geography teacher, Mrs Martin, who had also taught my father, to whom I was born late in his life, so you can imagine how old Mrs M. was! She thought a really cutting insult to rambunctious 8th graders in a last-period class (just putting in time till the bell rings!)…  more»

This person has watched too many teen soaps. She's obviously looking forward to the day when she can take someone by the arm, look meaningly into their eyes and say, "Tiffany, we need to *talk.*" And then she will proceed to lay down the law about a traumatic situation in Tiffany's personal life which is patently none of her business!…  more»

Cheese, calm down, group! These are ob-vi-ous-ly notes for an in class "speech presentation" for an ESL (English as Second Language) class. Having prepped more than one student for their TOFL and Cambridge exams, I know that a three to five minute "speech" is part of it.…  more»

"Front" in French means "forehead." And "frente" in Spanish means forehead. It's a natural mistake if English isn't your first language.…  more»

I've found it much more effective to just go. No note, no explanations, just leave. They'll realise you're gone, eventually, but by that time you'll be well down the new road.…  more»

Librarian, that makes two things I like about you already. Do you know of http://vegweb.com? Very helpful resource, the site is technically vegan but there are a lot of non-vegan veggie peoples there.  more»

Jelly is strained clear fruit jam. Jam is not clear and may have small pieces of fruit. Preserves has whole fruit in it (strawberries, raspberries) or large chunks (peaches, plums).…  more»

I always hated problems like this. This one is almost as bad as the one about the goat, the cabbage and the wolf and only 2 will fit in the boat at the same time and how many trips do you have to make to ensure none of them gets eaten by the others?

My response, always: WHO CARES????…  more»

"What is hamburger helper" is a perfectly legitimate question for those who live outside the US and have never been subjected to their "home cooked meals" in boxes. Since no one deigned to answer Cookie, I will say that HH is pasta or rice or both in a box, with a seasoning envelope. You loose-fry minced beef (hamburger in the US, mince in the UK and other places), add the pasta or rice and the flavouring packet, and some water, and let it simmer until everything is tender.…  more»

Cheaper European TP certainly will stand up to your common or garden ballpoint...it's rather like wrapping paper. Unless you get the fun Spanish/Italian kind that's basically crepe paper.…  more»
