Happy Birthday, Maria!!!
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

[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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
In fact, one of the things I think we railed against in a previous discussion was the tendency of teachers up until second or third grade to say that you can't subtract a larger number from a smaller one!
I was taught that, too. We eventually had a unit in negative numbers, in fifth grade, I think.
Seventh grade. For Algebra. I'm still agog.
My school system allowed a few students to take algebra in 8th grade. I was one and did quite welll.

Does anyone know if UPS will be delivering on Monday, it being a holiday and all? Seems my Xbox is repaired, and they are shipping it out today via ground. I leave for DC on Tuesday. It took 2 days to get to repair center. That would put Saturday or Monday delivery.

CJ has been working with Algebra concepts for a while, though the teacher hasn't been calling them that, so I'm not too worried about him.
IOmemeN - I'm sick again. My voice is pretty much gone and not in a deep sexy way. I don't do well with not talking.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Happy birthday, Kristin and Maria! (Abe Lincoln and Charles Darwin, too!)

Thanks, everyone!
Happy Birthday, Maria! Also Happy 200th Birthday to Darwin and Lincoln!
I am having a *fabulous* morning. I got presents from three of my English department colleagues (action figure Darwin and Alexander the Great and writer magnets) at our morning meeting, and then my first period class came in singing Happy Birthday with a cake and little presents and cards! My students are SO DAMNED CUTE.
This is already the best birthday I've had in years.
Plus, I've now outlived Jesus and Alexander the Great, which is...um, I don't know. But that happened.

And because it deserves its own post, much ~ma to sj's family, and Calli, I think that pointy sticks are most definitely called for.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Blowing the stop sign was called an Arizona Stop.
Hee. We have a four way intersection near my house that doesn't have any stop signs. And indeed, nobody stops. You just blow right through. It's rural, so it's rarely a problem, but surely will be at some point.
