IS IT ME OR....................DO YOU THINK OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING OVERWHELMED WITH ALL THE EXTRA HOMEWORK THEY ARE RECIEVING FROM SCHOOL NOW?

I HAVE 2 KIDS. ONE BEING 15 AND THE OTHER BEING 12. I JUST FIND THAT THE HOMEWORK LOAD IS SO MUCH, COMPARED TO WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL.I MEAN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AT LEAST 2 HOURS FOR MY OLDEST SON AND 1-2 HOURS FOR THE YOUNGEST. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO OUR TEACHERS TEACHING THEM IN CLASS?IT SEEMS THERE IS MORE AND MORE CUT BACKS THEN VOLUNTARY HELP.I JUST FIND IT HARD THESE DAYS FOR A TEACHER TO DO ANYTHING EXTRA.I FEEL THE TEACHERS PUT ALOT OF PREASURE ON THE PARENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STUDENTS KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY HAVE TAUGHT.YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER?

MY FIRST EXPERINCE WAS NOT A GOOD ONE......I SENT A PERSONAL CHECK AND ALMOST GOT RIPPED OFF. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE BANK WAS KIND ENOUGH TO CALL ME.THEY TRIED TO HAD A EXTRA COUPLE OF ZEROS.....I DID GET IN TOUCH WITH E-BAY AND THEY WERE BOOTED OF WITH ONLY A WARRNING.....tHAT ONLY HAPPENED BEACUSE THEY DID CALL ME TO SAY SORRY. THERE MOTHER PHONED AND BEGGED ME NOT TO PRESS CHARGES.BEING THAT THIS WAS THERE FIRST OFFENCE,AND THEY DID PHONE AND SEND A "SORRY" LETTER,I FORGAVE THEM....ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK GOD FOR LIVING IN A SMALL TOWN AND I KNOW OUR BANKING EMPLOYES PERSONALLY. (THE CHECK WOULD HAVE BOUNCED ANY WAYS.)..................I AM VERY CAREFUL WHEN BIDDING AND BUYING FROM THERE NOW........NOT A GOOD IDEA TO USE PERSONAL CHECKS

I KNOW ALL TO WELL ABOUT BACK PAIN. I LIVE WITH CRONIC BACK PAIN AND I AM ALSO WAITING TO HAVE SURGERY.THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU IS..(BESIDES PAIN KILLERS)YOU HAVE TO ALTERNET THE HOT AND COLD.15 MINS OF A HEATING PAD,THEN 15MINS OF A COLD ICE PACK.I ALSO END UP SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR OR A HARD SURFACE.WHEN I CANT SLEEP,I TO HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD.I KNOW THAT THIS IS ALOT OF MONEY BUT I INVESTED INTO A TENS MACHINE.( IT IS A ELECTRIC CURRENT THAT GETS THE BLOOD FLOWING.) I HOPE THIS HELPS IN ANY WAY.HOPING YOU GET BETTER........

is it the theology?

is it the smugness that many witnesses have?

Gordon Lightfoot

by RAYZORBLADE in

ok, if you're a canuck, chances you know that gordon lightfoot is about right up there with ol' jehover!.

but if not, nevermind, but i have to admit, i have been a lifelong fan of: gordon lightfoot.. this evening, i took his 'greatest hits' and gave it a listen, and as expected, i was still enthralled with his lyrical genius, and playing abilities.. anyone a gordon lightfoot fan?.

just curious.. all your folks living along north america's "great lakes" keep in mind, next month is the 28th anniversary of the sinking of the "edmund fitzgerald".. that song, by gordon lightfoot is haunting from beginning to end (over 6 minutes).. i personally love: go-go girl in love, bitter green, canadian railway trilogy, sundown, race among the ruins, wreck of the edmund fitzgerald, and well i like just about every damn thing he ever did.. your contributions?
