Yes. He meant credit earned for college.

English isn't Cesar's first language. He learned it online, which is pretty impressive. Occasionally he makes mistakes, but we understand

I like how he says "definitively" in place of "definitely".

We used to sell a lot of Disney Nerd merchandise at The Disney Store...!

I love it....since I'm a Disney nerd and all.

But aboriginal people don't want to be called Americans or Canadians. They have their own nations that they belong to like the Cree Nations, the Ojibway, the Maliseet, the Huron, etc. I think that's why native has gone out of style. Many don't acknowledge boundaries and systems like countries imposed by white Europeans.

(Sorry, I have spent a lot of time focused on aboriginal studies and have spent a good deal of time with First Nations people.)

No apologies necessary. I think we all value a good education here.

This is what we cooked for supper last night. And tonight we are having shepherd's pie with ground beef instead of lamb. I guess it's been a cow kind of week. Hmmm...maybe I should be buying half a cow or something.

My husband chaperoned a mission trip for church to South Dakota on a Sioux reservation, and the tribal elder said that they hate being called Native Americans. The elder said they like being called Indians, he said that anyone born in the US could be considered native american. So I guess it varies from place to place and people to people.

And that's what it comes down to, right? Calling people what it is they want to be called. Honouring the stories that they want honoured.

Cannot tell you how many weird mistakes I've made with Spanish over the years...

I had the Mickey one as a screensaver for awhile.

Brimstone is sulphur.

I wish! I can't even afford to fuel a small one LOL The per hour will break a normal person.

I know what you mean. I've been cutting back on my private jet trips with the price of fuel and all. Now I just take the Porsche.

The 2 best IMHO are TC and BOG

I never watched the Soprano's but could have easily given a guided tour of the shooting locations

When you talk about shooting locations with Soprano's, it has a couple of different meanings.

do you get to pick which cow you get ?

Kids: "What's for dinner tonight, Mom?"
Mom: "Buttercup."

That's concerning that only 11 parents showed up. I don't have children, but if I did, I would just assume that meeting and talking to the child's teacher, would be very important.

I went to my son's meet the teacher night in September. He is in first grade and I was shocked how few parents showed up. You would think they wouldn't have given up caring already. But then again, maybe they all had to work or couldn't find a babysitter as you aren't supposed to take your kids.

I have never watched some Disney movies. I want to watch the Sword and the Stone. I love Arthurian Legend. I never watch movies from the early 2000s like Home on the Range....looks awful.

I'm like you. These are the Disney movies I seem to be missing. Absolutely love Arthruian stories. Not sure why I haven't watched Sword in the Stone yet.

Off to visit the Jersey war tunnels today with a friend who is a history buff.

Ferret...tunnels...make sense.
