I think 'Tank' and I might become well acquainted, Can't wait to meet him in class, he seems like a friendly fellow.

Ah... perhaps Tank should meet George, my classroom assistant. He, too, carries a big... stick:

Ever read Janet Evanovich? She has a HUGE character named Tank. I think he would be an appropriate assistance especially if you need someone permanently put out of their own misery. He can be very protective of people he likes.

In response to "Early Morning Walk with YaYa"

When I was at school we were taught about Aborigines. they have a very similar philosophy about the land as the native Americans do. I wonder why the sudden change in philosophy? What sparked this change?
You have wild deer eating in your yard? That is incredible. The best thing we see in our yard is magpies. Man I live in the wrong part of the country

I quite enjoyed your morning trek. I don't have to exercise today now.

Hi Rixy
Brings to mind the native belief.
The land does not belong to people, the people belong to the land.
nice post

In response to "Worst First: A Way of Life"

Hi Rixy
Simple and effctive.
This was not news to me, but it isn't how I live day to day.
It's funny sometimes how you can slip into bad habits, and just adopt it as a way of life.
I'm going to give "Worst First" a try. I'll blog my progress.

You know, I used to do this. Walking first thing in the morning.... have to think about reinstituting it. If my body will cooperate.

Great advice, Rixy!!!
I'm gonna try that—soon as I read my novel and take a nap.

Actually, this may be the answer to my weight problem and stiff joints. If I just get up in the morning, while it's only 95 degrees here in Texas, and go for a walk without thinking about it, I just may have a happier day ahead of me.
Thanks!!!

Emergency Weather Precations from Wyoming

March 26, 2009 at 10:42am

A friend--ok, so I actually taught her in the 6th grade eons ago--lives in Wyoming and sent some really good tips for weather emergencies. Since we had to deal with the Ice Storm from Hell, these ideas are great ones for anybody in any part of the country. So, Thanks Michele Barrelle for sharing. Something that is great to have for emergencies is a hot water bottle or two, along with covers. They are great to tuck down into your bed for added warmth too! You can put extra heated hotwater ...

What do Teacher's Make?

March 11, 2009 at 8:28am

This is not my work, but forwarded to me on the internet. I like it and thought I would pass it on. Hope you enjoy how this very wise teacher rebutted a CEO.WHAT TEACHERS MAKE: The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?" He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teache... [Read more]

Sayings I Encountered Today

March 10, 2009 at 11:13am

Givers sleep well; takers don't. A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. Our minds are all like parachutes. They only work when open. The greater the obstacles, the more glory in overcoming it. Pain and suffering are unavoidable. Misery is optional. Do your best, God does the rest. If you can't stand up, Stand out! ... [Read more]

Last week another student brought a knife to school. He had it open on the bus and cut a seat. He was a junior high football boy. His penalty: 1 day of IN school suspension. Same superintendent, same principal as in Part I and Part 2. Travesty Rules!!!... [Read more]
