[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have heard that the teacher layoff announcement is partly political posturing to put pressure on Sacramento, and that there will actually be way less layoffs. One can only hope. Things are in SUCH a mess that I don't think anyone has any idea what is going to happen, including Arnie and the legislature.

Hey. New board.

Why is it hard for students to copy each others' homework intelligently?

I cheated on homework in high school, occasionally. I don't think it's right, but I did it. I know it happens. I know I can't stop it.

But seriously: if your friend writes "20 <" (a nonsensical thing indeed) and you COPY it as your answer... nobody's learning anything. You didn't even look at the QUESTION, or you'd know that was nonsensical.

I copied sometimes. But at least I knew what I was writing.

Is Ger really a house elf? If you're speaking of Invader Zim, that is.

Just ignore me; I'm having a nibbled-by-ducks day and I was already hormonally cranky. My sympathy and ~ma to anyone who needs or wants it.

Our wings are not tired

I think Monday migrated to Tuesday this week. I've got a big bid I need to revise and I just don't wanna, and I'm trying to chase down a theatre producer who's lagging on paying for a rental. I hate having to threaten to pull the gear, which will essentially close their show, in order to get paid.

Thrive to spite them

I got marginally more sleep last night. But I got hot and felt feverish right around 4 and of coruse by the time I got home and took my temperature it's normal.

I think I'm on the verge of being sick and I'm just so exhasuted I can't seem to catch up rest. But it's such a big deal for me to call in sick and it's such a bad time for it to happen.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why is it hard for students to copy each others' homework intelligently?

I once had five students turn in nearly identical assignments, including line breaks at the same places. I was able to actually line the papers up and figure out who copied from whom, because there was a smudge on the first paper that became a colon on the second and then became an equal sign somewhere around the fourth.
