The only gift you should bring is yourself.
If people call and ask you then you can suggest the other things.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Your presence is all the present required. Like Laura said, if they call, you can tell them that taking your mom out for the day would be a great gift. You could also include a pretty piece of paper in the invitation and ask that they write a memory on it that you will be collecting at the party for your mother. You could put them all in a photo album later.

Florida county plans to vaporize landfill trash
FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida county has grand plans to ditch its dump, generate electricity and help build roads — all by vaporizing garbage at temperatures hotter than the sun.
The $425 million facility expected to be built in St. Lucie County will use lightning-like plasma arcs to turn trash into gas and rock-like material. It will be the first such plant in the nation operating on such a massive scale and the largest in the world.
Whew. Andi and I were already brainstorming on the disaster movie...
...Maybe The Doctor (Who) would be involved...
Still? Cool beans.

I don't think I've actively taught anyone anything. Except maybe what an eyefuck is.

That's so cool Daniel. I just read it to the boys (mine and a couple more spending the night) and they love it. They did seem concerned that St. Lucie (just north of us) would keep the cool rocks and blow the stinky gas in our direction.

I teach most every day, but I teach doctors and staff how to use their software, so not so much the same thing. I don't get to give them tests, but I do mock them and give them homework.

Hey, Hec -- are you home and phone-call-able right now?
I'm sorry Tep. I had just left the house about then and just returned about ten minutes ago.
If it's still useful to you, call me in the morning. But don't call me up and wake me up because only crazy people do that!

Belated Yay for Jen!!!
Very belated - SA, don't they have Dr Pepper in Ireland? We have it in the UK. Not as widespread as Coke or 7 Up, but it's definitely out there. Keep looking? Dr Pepper-ma to you?

move out and draw fire
Former teacher of English, ESL, drama, and jiujitsu.
Not as unrelated as all that.
My DH wants to teach when he retires in 5 years. He wants to teach high school, but everyone, including me, sees him as a college professor. I guess we could take on high-school-age 'ffistakids now, for training. Topics include Gaming, Knife Skills, Applied Movie Quotes, International Toddler Wrangling, Design and Build Your Own Haunted House, and How To Identify Which Country You Are In Today (team-taught by us, Fay, SA, and meara, with guest lectures).
