What's wrong with a B? My mom got mad at me once because I brought home an A-. I don't understand what was wrong with that to this day. I remember in 7th grade, I got a B+ in Science and I was crying and my friends didn't understand why, because they thought it was a great grade, but they didn't have to take it home to my mother, who was expecting straight A's.

I remember those days, too. Mom always asked why I didn't get an A when I got a B.

I was just thinking of that when I read the about the Paris attacks. I was thinking "Oh, thank God he was already out of Paris by that time!"

Ditto.

With my mom, it wasn't just asking. When I got the A -, it was "It better be back up where it belongs soon or you won't be going on any more speech trips until it is." No more student council meetings, no more play practice, no more speech and debate.

I'm going to be off line for a couple days. Or only post a little. It seems in my attempt to slice my turkey really thin, I sliced a small piece off the end of my finger. So my typing is slow.

I'm so sorry!! Hope it's better soon!

Thanks, I'm a little shaky this morning. But the pain is much less today.

@brb1006 I saw you changed your post but you were correct the park closed. Never let another poster that doesn't know you like we do make you feel like you have to change your post. It wasn't bad.

Thank you, I knew Disneyland Paris was going to take this action.

Oh no, Bets! Are you ok? That sounds awful.

No worries about spoilers as I won't be going on Star Tours - it makes me nauseous.

its funny now that you mention the nauseous.. I was fine until the end, when the cabin started to smell like burning oil.
Noone else seemed to get the smell. but it was empowering when you left the thing. THAT got me dizzy and nauseated.. I think I mentioned it when In my first report on my first trip.

The pneumatic pumps in the bottom of the "cabin", was the source of the smell (the system that moves the cabin to make it look like its flying)

Not in my house it doesn't

careful, the officials might claim you're being unconstitutional

Awful news about Paris and about Beirut a couple of days before. Scary stuff.

Thank you so much the lights were one thing on my Disney bucket list I'll never get to do, so I'm glad you got to enjoy them for me and then share xoxo

I hope the lights are still there in January. Never seen them and they might disappear forever once the Star Wars redo start to tear the zone.

Thank you, I knew Disneyland Paris was going to take this action.

considering there are men still at large and ISIS claims there will be more attacks. Its the smartest way to do.

And that reminds me of the Gilmore Girls where they have 4 Thanksgivings to go to, and one of them involves "To-furkey".

Yum, I like Tofurky.

Thanks do better today. Now, I feel like a professional chef.

Osborne lights will be there until Jan 3, but they are going away forever after this year.

It's report card day and I'm trying not to blow a gasket! My little guy came home with a B not a B+ but a regular old B. I'm trying to calm down. I'm really trying not to go full on Beverly Goldberg right now. LOL

B's happen. Unfortunately. I wouldn't worry about it. It's great to have A's as the standard, but honestly, because my dad has never accepted B's, I don't tell him anything about my school grades. Even in college, he doesn't ask and I don't tell (Mom is completely aware of my grades because she's calmer). I have a 3.8 GPA. He doesn't need to know the specifics. Self-motivated kids don't need too much parental intervention. Just encourage him to improve, be that raising it to an A or B+

FYI, my dad just walked in and asked why I wasn't doing my homework. I was (hence the textbook). "Turn the TV off; you can't do homework in front of the TV." I'm in college; if I want the TV on while doing homework (which I did all the time in high school), I think I can decide that for myself. The TV is still on.
