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.
On Wednesday, Tim has a surgical procedure that I think is, best-case, meant to remove all the cancerous tissue. Because it's located around where his left tonsil used to be (he had his tonsils out as a kid, but the ENT says that it's not unusual for there to be some residual tonsillar tissue left), he's having the equivalent of a sort-of tonsillectomy.
The way this relates to the yogurt conversation is that he'll need soft food for a few-several days afterward, so the top shelf of our fridge is loaded up with lower-sugar blueberry, peach, vanilla, and strawberry yogurts.

Here to report that after a hard-target search I too have achieved Chobani Less Sugar Lemon (among other flavors).
Oh Steph, I really hope they can get it all!!
