I five more minutes, I have to "lead a discussion" on the moon's orbit. The problem? These kids have spent all year so far on the computers. Discussions aren't what we do in that class. So I'm nervous. Wish me luck!
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Punishingly Intricate
So, if I can figure out a way to keep people from knowing that my spelling sucks, then I figure other people should be able to figure out how to do that too.
Exactly! It's one thing not to check your spelling and grammar when you're communicating in an informal forum (here or IM or email) with your friends but a total other thing if you are trying to impress someone. If you don't even make the effort to spellcheck what else isn't going to be worth your time???

Mostly lurking...
Good luck, Emily!
So, um, I'm having my first, "Wow. I really let you down" moment. And I know I really didn't, but it's still hard to not take it on. Blech. Time to let it go and go meet with another class.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I may be bogarting all the relaxation. Today is my first day off in soooooo long that we have not had to spend car hunting. I have errands to run, but I have a car to use for them. Woo. Also? Hoo.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Henckles or Wustof are good, sj.
My bro recommends Wusthof, but he's a professional chef with big (scarred, burned, sliced) hands.
I love my Henckels.
All you really need is one really good knife -- my bro recommends a Santoku knife (not that specific one, necessarily; I just wanted you to see what the style *looks* like, with the hollow edge).
And I agree with Jess -- what's most important is which one feels good in your hand and isn't too heavy. The one that suits my Sasquatch of a bro very likely won't suit your petite self. (And then again, it might. Which is why you should test them before registering.)
Whatever knife you end up registering for, make sure you also register for a sharpening steel/stone that is meant for *that specific* knife.

Aw Ginger, I'm so sorry.
Is he close by enough that you could go and see him? I'm sure a visit from you would bring him joy.

He's about 90 minutes away, Trudy, so probably not.

Hey. New board.
I wish my principal last year had used that!
Mine uses something similar for her informal, 15-minute observations. "Wows" and "Wonderings" she calls them. They have a star! And a thought bubble instead of a wand. I love my principal.
I don't know a whole lot about knives. I got my set from Cutco, because I had a friend who could get them for me at 50% off. Based on reviews, they're definitely worth it with the discount, though not as good as some brands at their actual price point. Still, leagues better than anything I had ever used before - I love them, and cut things with impunity.
