The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

When my kids do that I make them keep the grade they "earned".
That usually helps turn the next test/quiz around.

Where is everyone?? I'm here. Just did a lot of running around fixing small problems. Now I'm pondering a vey series issue...should I eat my chocolate bar now, or wait until I get off work at four?
To: RosieCotton
Mmm.....chocolate....4:00....
To: RosieCotton
Now I'm pondering a vey series issue...should I eat my chocolate bar now, or wait until I get off work at four? Good heavens Rosie! Now! What if we're attacked at 3:30?
Just think how many women on the Titanic skipped dessert...
To: Corin Stormhands
Good heavens Rosie! Now! What if we're attacked at 3:30? Yeah, but if we're attacked a little later, I might be stuck somewhere without any chocolate at all! Horrors!
Gotta add that to my list, I guess. Coffee...check. Dog food...check. Canned food and ramen...check. Bailey's...check. But I'm out of cat food, and this is my only chocolate! Baaaad!
To: RosieCotton
You need a 72 hour chocolate kit.

To: Overtaxed
Like a 72 hour chocolate kit will last 72 hours.....Especially in a stressful situation. Huh-uh.
To: RosieCotton
You can really go through the chocolate when you're under stress...at least I can.

I'm back and I feel much better, 2J! Thanks for asking. :)
I was downstairs filing my tax return. Let's just say that I am a VERY happy camper right now!

"When my kids do that I make them keep the grade they "earned". "
I normally do, but man...this is one of his major tests...he only has 10 and his whole grade is based on them. Usually he makes 100...I kid you not, he breezes through them.
Anyway, he's never missed a problem due to not knowing how to work them...he misses them because of carelessness. Even then, on this test he probably still made a high B. I bet he didn't miss 5 all together. And that's adding when he should have subtracted, neglecting to write a number down completely (5x5=2) and when he sees them he just groans.
Still, it took him forever to do the test because of goofing off (staring into space), and every question he missed was due to goofing off...so, he had to take the entire test again (alternate) and even if he makes a 100 on this test, it gets filed away with no fanfare. Not up on the fridge, which is pretty important to him.
He's very upset...in there diligently working now. In 3 years of school, this is only the second time this has happened.
In the meantime, I scrubbed the bathroom. sigh

Matthew spaces a test, you clean the bathroom. Something doesn't compute. ;^)
I'm a bit of a hard-nose when it comes to stuff like that. I'm glad you have found a system that works with your boy. ;^)

Things are great -- if busy. I still lurk occasionally when I find the time.
To: John Farson
Well, I do hope you grab a bite in the mornings when I ping you to breakfast! :)
