Also Deber the "boodididies" sounds so cute. I love kids words when they are trying leaning language and learning new words and coming up with their own versions.

I had economics 2nd semester of my senior year. We were supposed to do some project but about half way through the teacher just kind of forgot. He was also the head football coach so he was trying to get as many guys into colleges as we could.

We were a really small school, only 93 seniors my year. So the high school history teacher was also the track coach and one of the math teachers was ...some kind of coach.

Happy Birthday, Debet!

Did she use the example from David Copperfield ?

I don’t think so and I suspect I would remember if she did. It was English Lit I took from her - we had a series of subs before she took over, we read an excerpt from Beowulf 3 times because each sub had us start at the beginning of the textbook. We *must* have read some Dickens, right? Maybe A Christmas Carol. But there was no crossover between the two classes, I don’t think.

Free Enterprise was part of the Social Studies curriculum, we did Civics as freshman, American History sophomore year, and Free Enterprise for half of junior year (what went in the other half? Not like there were a bunch of one semester electives lying around to fill that in. Hmm) and that was all that was required for that. I remember a lot from Civics and History (and the World History class I took as an elective senior year) but nothing from Free Enterprise

And the econ class I took in college the prof read from his work-in-progress novel the beginning of each lecture and our final was cancelled because he had to go to rehab, so I wouldn’t say I got a good grounding there.

But mostly, 17 year old nephew! Always glad to hear how he’s doing, especially when it’s good news

Good morning, sleepy board.

It's grey and wet in San Francisco though Wundergound promises me a sunny week.

I can hear seagulls making a racket outside and the guinea pigs chompling away at things in their cage.

My day is pretty open and empty and I should probably do some housecleaning, but going to the movies seems more enticing.

I think the only practical life skills education I had in high school was a summer driver's ed course. Though I did screen print T-shirts for a local singer's tour in my Commercial Art class and make some spending money along with my grade.

[nothing to see here, I definitely didn't hit Post instead of Read New no idea what you could possibly be talking about]

So...I have been reading behind and nodding along, but now I am here to thank you all for the heads up on Chobani lower sugar and to report that there was PLENTY of lower-sugar lemon yogurt at my supermarket and I'm looking forward to trying it.
