I've wondered this myself. At the moment, however, I'm wondering why the fan at the end of my bed started making an unbelievably obnoxious squeaking sound about ten minutes ago.

I can fix that. I'm handy that way.

Photoshop. I bet in the original it was a dark-haired hobo hanging out by the store, minding his own business.

We don't have hobos who hang out by our stores. Come to think of it, I've never seen a "hobo" in my town at all.

No wonder you thought he was a bear.

Your Sixth Card
Higher Power: Queen of Swords

As core truths emerge, accept their influence and allow your life to be changed.

The card in the Higher Power position reflects the broader perspective and influence of your conscience, Guardian Angel, inner wisdom.

When the Queen of Swords comes up in this position, your inner grandmother is taking her throne. Male or female, we all have living within us a wise crone or powerful Queen of Heaven figure, a mature mother archetype. She is stepping forward now in your own psyche. Her higher reasoning is flowing into your consciousness, helping you see things in a broader way.

This involves a peeling away of appearances to yield a clearer disclosure of core issues. She is trying to remind you about what is true, what works and what you can do to positively affect your situation. Don't resist her; accept her influence.

Asa and I were playing around with making up our own rap lyrics, and he said mine sound like nursery rhymes. <steam> ~>:-I

There was a story on the news last night that teaching cursive writing in schools has now become optional and keyboarding is now mandatory. I dont know if it was a local thing or a national thing.

Seems weird to me. Bad enough kids today cant spell, or construct sentences to say what they mean, or conjugate verbs properly. Now we wont teach them how to write? And this helps them compete in a world economy how?

I saw that, too, and it bothered me. I can't quite put my finger on the reason why, but it probably has something to do with the fact that I still hand write (in cursive) letters to my grandmother and mail them to her. She treasures them and keeps them on the table to proudly show off when friends come to visit.

I write and receive letters from military friends, and it touches my heart that they took the time out of their day to write me. I think writing (especially in cursive) shows a dedication and commitment to thinking about someone long enough to compose a letter. Mandatory keyboarding means they spent 10 seconds responding and won't give you another thought. :(






Oh, and here's my random: I woke up this morning with "I am a pirate king" from Pirates of Penzance stuck in my head.

I thought the same thing. My son is 13. Pretty much the only cursive writing he has learned has been from me. His schools did not teach him one single aspect of it. The majority of all classwork though is done on computers. It does seem weird.

I'm with all of you....my son is 13 also and his writing (cursive and printing) is horrific. The teachers in NY just accepted it and shrugged it off ....and taught him cursive incorrectly so that he was writing as if he was left-handed (which he isn't).

Luckily, his teachers here in FL took one look at his writing and said "we need to work on that" and it's much better. Still bad, but better.

I'm hoping the high school continues the work, and I need to work with him more myself, too.

I think both keyboarding and writing by hand are important....why in the world would the schools seem to feel that they're mutually exclusive? :seeingstars:

My honey wants to know how this kids will be able to read cursive. Will documents like the Declaration of Independence need to be translated?

I have such mixed feelings about this. I never use the cursive I learned. If I must hand write something, I print. However, it feels as if we are destroying a right of passage or something. Sort of makes me sad......

In my hometown there is a drive-thru carry-out. You drive into this garage, they sell you your ice-cold Bud or Pabst or whatever, and then you drive on out the other end. There's something wrong about that.

Why is it that when I get a headache it usually lingers for more than a day?

We had a meeting in a conference room that overlooks the parking lot. We saw a person who works on our floor go out to their car and sit for a long time. Apparently this is a common occurrence, so my boss went down to clandestinely investigate while we all watched the show. He pretended he was on the phone (agitated hand motions and all) while inching closer and closer to the car. They think that this person goes down and drinks several times a day and were trying to witness it. Funny stuff. Sadly, he couldn't see anything. Too bad we didn't have any binoculars.

There's one of those in the town over from mine. I do think that's a little funky, but then again, my county and all the ones surrounding were dry until about a year ago. *shrug*
