You should have told me earlier, JenB, I have just about memorized history!! Might be able to help out if there are any analytical ideas you want to run past me (not up on dates and things but give me a good essay question and I can run with it). I plan on looking at a certain CD tomorrow, thanks a bunch.
Looks like most of you didn't have the best weather today, other than Ksen. Down here in north central Florida we set an all time record for the date -- 97 degrees. With the lows getting down to just below 70, that would make afternoon pool temperatures around 84 degrees, think I'll go out to the community pool, after I look at the movie. Great pics from TTT, I point out that the only one without a caption is Gimli, he always gets shortchanged. The guy who wrote the captions must be running that change the TTT movie title petition.
Hmm, with a name like that, who'd have guessed? Actually I do very well in history. Got a good grounding back in my homeschooled days, read a ton of historical stuff and for some reason it all just stuck. I'm actually shakiest when it comes to the period between WW2 and my birth, mostly because most teachers and authors alive today lived through that time and don't have a problem keeping it straight. Thus, they assume everyone knows what all the acroynms stand for, and who succeeded whom in the Soviet Union, and don't explain things.
Anyway, I love history, it's one of my hobbies. Next semester I'm taking a class on Rome - I think I know where to turn if I need help there!
