Homer reminds me a little too much of George.

:lookaroun

I identify with almost every character at different times... :lookaroun

 

[Connor002]

I feel far better right now than I have all day!
Coming here is definitely therapeautic.
I love you guys.
Seriously.

We (me, at least!) love you too!

Monk is also a very good show.
But I bear far to many similarities to the title character. :lookaroun

A little OCD?!

The worst was December when we had 100 index cards full of research due. The oldest is dysgraphic, so we had to type everything, then literally cut and paste (even the things we had cut and pasted from the internet) all the information to 3 X 5 cards.

 

[MommytoMJM]

Yuck, sounds like I am glad I missed it.

Long day today! Let's just say I'll be glad when Science Fair projects are outlawed!!!!!!!

The world will be a better place when they finally are! But I guess I'm biased because of that witch pretending to be a teacher.

We (me, at least!) love you too!

It just feels good to be here! Normal!
You know what it is, I think?
We don't make any demands on each other at all, in any way.
We're just there.
Sometimes that's just so right!

That sounds like a nigtmare.
And when you think of it, what are they really learning from things like this?

 

[Fantasmic!329]

I love you all, too. :kiss:

This place is great. We can ache, sneeze, cry, laugh, smile, and everything else together. I have such a great IFamily!!!

So true! No lofty expectations, so no disappointment!

They're learning how to waste paper!!!


Seriously my DS wanted to do a project about how many trees are sacrificed every year just to make those stupid tri-fold backer-boards!

 

[Fantasmic!329]

That would be a great project, Betty! :lol: And at least it would actually show something useful unlike "Density of Liquids" or "Popcorn Tests."

Joe,
I was at my grandmom's house last weekend and watching C-Span (She doesn't really get any other channels :lookaroun ) and they had a house of commons debate-type thing on. Blair looked like he had all the answers in the binder in front of him; does he get that information in advance? How does a session like that work? What is the third party in the UK (Labour, Conservative and... what?)? And finally, are those kind of meetings common?


I know that's a lot of questions, but you Brits are an odd bunch. :lookaroun

The binder will contain his sandwiches, soda and bus tickets for his ride home. It's possible there may be an I-Pod or similar in there. Plus some crib notes for his speech.

How it works will depend on the session, they may be debating a specific motion or it could be Prime Ministers Question Time, where all the people in the various opposition parties get to ridicule him.

Labour and Conservatives are the two main parties who have had the power between them for many decades. The third largest party currently go by the name "Liberal Democrats" - they rebrand every few years, so it could change. They say whatever they want as an electoral promise as there is little chance of them making it into power any time soon.

After that there are nine other parties with elected officials, a couple of Independents and the rest are various Northern Ireland, Welsh and Scottish Parties.

And yes, these meetings happen every day - but the attendance varies greatly.
