    What do you like to drink while you read?

    It really depends on the weather, and rarely alcoholic. I like coffee in the morning but rarely get to read at that tme of day, hot tea, chai or chocolate in cool weather, but prefer something cold during the summer, like lemonade, iced tea, or just plain water.

    I get easily distracted and have problems finishing things I start.

    Americans and their ice...

    I live in a rather warm part of the world, so, when its 95 degrees out and 95% humidity, I want to drink something cold, and ice keeps an already cold drink cold longer. But, ice in beer or wine is just ruining them. :eek:

    what's everyone up to today?

    Really?!?! The two fields that appeal to me the most are civil and mechanical. You? Feel free to PM, too.

    what's everyone up to today?

    yes, it is, to me at least. But that is why I am researching it. I need to find out if I want to devote four years to studying it and then twenty+ doing it.

    what's everyone up to today?

    welcome back, honeydevil!! Glad Dennis missed you!! I've been researching a lot lately. I made the momentous decision to go back to university. I spent one year there a lifetime ago and I realized that I need to go back. I'm figuring out, now, how to get there, and what to do once I'm...

    Is There a Doctor in the House!?

    You have a problem, darling.... :o you need some kind of anti-biotic cream, or maybe even a visit to a doctor. Your finger sounds seriously infected and without proper treatment, will only get worse. I know it is a bother to go to the shop, but it will be a bigger bother when they have to...

    School Uniforms - Mandatory or not?

    I don't know why, so I'll just share my point of veiw. Louisiana is one of the poorest states in the nation and the area where I live is rural and has quite a few people I know are living way under the poverty line. A kid whose family can't afford many sets of clothes can get away with wearing...

    Censoring Books

    I think it really should be up to the parents to decide what is appropriate and what isn't. Case in point from my life recently. I had Chuck Palahnuik's novel Haunted by my bed a few weeks ago, and my 10 yo daughter asked to read it. I said no, its a book for grown ups. I read it and there...

    School Uniforms - Mandatory or not?

    Yeah, what she said! My kids change as soon as they get home from school, and if the uni is still relatively clean, it gets worn the next day. And it makes shopping for school clothes sooooo much simpler. No arguing about the style or color, or "i don't like this" or "so-and-so has one...

    School Uniforms - Mandatory or not?

    Schools that make the switch to uniforms usually see significant increases in attendance and test scores and decrease in fights. My children wear uniforms to school, and I am all in favor of it. Our school actually gives the children a limited choice. While their shirts and pants/shorts/skirts...

    What book should be REQUIRED reading for everyone?

    One of the lit teachers in my high school for his notorious test questions. He told you up front if there was a movie of the book and that he'd seen it, told you that some stuff was left out of the movie and that stuff was going to be on the test.

    What book should be REQUIRED reading for everyone?

    You got it, buddy. I've got to tell this to my sisters (both teachers) and my teacher friends!!

    What book should be REQUIRED reading for everyone?

    Oh, I'm with you there. A lot of it is that people expect so much out of teachers yet the teachers have limited means to do it.
