Which is why we need drinking words. Hang out here. We'll make it interesting.
later.
OK, so what words can we put on our list?
unilateral
Vietnam
National Guard
quagmire
chaos
Any more, anyone?
Just got in from Latin. God bless ya, sis...you've a pip, I tell ya! I really appreciate you letting us use those supplies.
Matthew made a 100% on his first test. He got every answer exactly right except for one. The question was "What does a verb show?" and the answer was "Action". Matthew put "Action or a state of being."
I'm proud because for one thing, I'm not teaching him this...this is really out of my league. And every time I give him a 100%, I worry "Am I just biased? Is he really doing this good or am I just not seeing something?" But when he comes home from a class that someone else is teaching and is doing just as well, I must say...it's reassuring.
no, he isn't ours... that I know of.
How about:
WRONG
MISTAKE
RUSHED
MISLEAD
DISCEIVED
Alas, since we don't drink we have "smooch" words instead. We got a lot of mileage out of "Salacious" during the Lewinski daze- that was when we first met. And "Gravitas" was our smooch word during the 2000 election when we were newly wed. But that's probably way more than y'all needed to know.
DECEIVED.
'been a long day. :)
probably... put you still set a high standard and hold him accountable... so your bias does not impair your teaching...
Evenin' all...
just got back from a day at the range... took my homeschoolers from my Hunter Education class down to the state run range at the Bois D'Arc Conservation Area... it is an awesome facility... even better than Quantico... the had classes in rifle marksmanship and shotgun shooting...
they had and hour on the firing line with .22 rifles... and an hour and a half on the skeet range... most kids were busting clays before the end...
at one point, one of the instructors was asking questions on the parts of a firearm, operation, function of ammunition, etc... all the kids could answer the questions... then they showed a safety video... as we were walking out to the range he said "these are pretty sharp kids... they even paid attention to the video..." I responded "they're homeschooled..." he replied, "should've known..."
I'm really enjoying teachin' these kids... course, it is one of my favorite topics... firearms... ballistics... marksmanship... hunting techniques...
eatin' b-b-que venison ribs, fried taters fer supper...
then a stiff drink tuh watch the debates...
Mmmmm! Sounds delicious! I planned for Hamburger Helper before I found out Steve was coming home. The jedis love it. Wish I'd planned for better, now, but it's too late..
That sounds cool! Wish our coop had offered a Gun Safety class. I'd have gone...
Hi folks!
I'll be in and out until the debates actually begin. Still getting the kids settled in for the night.
I've always hadda soft spot fer Hamburger Helper... specially with a slice of American cheese meltin' on top...
s'not too late... find a local range... I'm sure they'll hook you up...
besides... the range is a great place tuh pick up guys...
Mm, maybe if I can convince my galpals to come along...
Just Vietnam should be enough to get pretty durned soused!
I heard "fantasy" mentioned on another thread. And integrity. (Like he has any...)
Heh...I've already added that to my list of things-to-do-for-fun-once-I-have-some-discretionary-income...
I need a "Guns for Dummies" book or sumpin, though. I don't know nuffin about gauges, proper uses for different size guns, different brands...or anything at all.
I did find out my boss shoots at the local range. He may know answers to some of my questions.
Like "Can I shoot the stupid users with naked chick desktops?"
Heh...
