Timelies all!

My deepest sympathies to Sue, GC and lori.

I am in your state, Amy, and I took

11th grade English preparing for an english regents(but would have taken AP if it were offered
Chemistry (some people took AP bio as well
Pre-Calculus (a non-AP student would have taken Course III),
Social Studies, which in 11th grade was European History,< preparing for the Regents in World History
French III (preparing for French Regents)
Chorus/Show Choir
Band (every other day)
Gym (every other or every 4th day, can't remember)
Chemistry Lab(every 4th day, but I wonder if I had to skip band or chorus or something to go to lab, because I had no study halls)

The big thing in NY when I was in school was prepping for the regents which were in 11th grade. The exams have changed now, so I am not sure what's the what.

Random question - is it possible for something to be "beyond hyperbole"?

With petabytes of storage and advanced datamining techniques, our ability to ferret out obscure relationships among items and events has never been greater. But it's beyond hyperbole to suggest that this capacity has made scientific reasoning obsolete, as was proposed earlier this week.

tommyrot, I was just arguing with someone who says that I am paranoid when I say that some wish to turn the US into a theocracy. I guess that being paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't really out to get you.

Huh. Did you define how many is "some"? Because it'd be easy to show there are two people in the country who want theocracy, but perhaps more difficult to show it's a widespread point of view.

Anyway, just point this person to the Texas GOP's 2008 platform... or there's lots of other stuff to cite....

I was referencing folk like Dobson and his Focus on the Family .

If I were her boss I would assign her things just for that reason and let it come out in meetings that she is not doing her work.

It's shocking how much this doesn't happen. When I first started, we had no boss, so we had weekly meetings with the Big Boss. BB would ask her to do small tasks that wouldn't have gotten done by the next week. I swear to god. I don't work that hard, but I work way harder than some of these jokers.

We had to say goodbye to Bear two weeks ago.

Oh, Lori, I'm so sorry.

AND hopefully I'll sleep through the night without pain waking me up.

I hope that, too! And am glad it was a problem that could be fixed (even if with hassle and expense) relatively quickly!

Di d you all know Isaac Mizrahi does a bridal collection for Target?

I'm fascinated by the armlessness of wedding dresses. Are there no brides who want sleeves?

Probably not a bad time for me to move out of Texas, I guess.

Marry Isaac Jaffe, forever and ever.
