I say, "And Jem will wake up in the morning," My husband says, "I love the smell of napalm. It smells like victory." Go figure.

Writer's Block: The Tech Effect on Education

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:00:17 GMT

It hadn't in the sense that they could go on the computer and find what the names of the Great Lakes are, for example. That was like reading an encyclopedia. However, since our printer is broken, and we can't afford to fix it, they get points off since their well researched papers are hand written. And I don't know if we can pay our internet bill next month. So, yes, technology's constant presence has affected my children's education to their detriment.

Worst books I have read: Moby Dick, anything by Fennimore Cooper and Charlotte Bronte.

I love anything by Roberson Davies, William Faulkner and the early and late Romantic poets.If I just want a fun and dirty book, I just read Judy Blume.

When the minister asked if I would take him as my husband and I said, "I do". I should have said "No effing way" and run from the church like Elaine did.

Hank Stamper from Ken Kesey's "Sometimes a Great Notion". Kesey had a way with creating such sexy and full blooded men in a way Hemmingway never could. And, as an aside, I really loved Kesey's writing.

But what if you're gay? Do they not tell if they're mandated to serve? And what a stupid question about the current system. It has always been inequal: poor kids sign up, rich kids go to college. And question for the Libertarian: Why are you for it when your whole philosophy is not having the government interfere with individual choices? That's all I have to say.

Writer's Block: Agree to disagree

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 02:14:16 GMT

Sadly, this question is more important than stopping with friends. My sister and I were, gasp, Democrats!!!.

She has now become,from her influence with her husband,so rightwing that even Ronald Reagan would raise his eyebrows. It's hard for me to talk to her since I believe in rights for all and she only thinks white men with money have any say. I won't even commenthow she now perceives women, although she herself is one.

What is the worst piece of advice you've ever received?

View 513 Answers

The worst advice I ever got was from my mother. She said,"Take French instead of Spanish." I live in the US. My mother spent hours screaming at me because I wasn't good at French. I still cannot speak French and I wish I had learned Spanish.

Writer's Block: You're a Winner!

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:45:30 GMT

I'm a huge Who fan. In 1993 I had to be the 3rd caller on a radio station when they played something by them. I was. I won a CD of "Tommy", a video of the movie and a 3 night 4 day trip to NYC to see it on Broadway! We stayed at the Hilton Towers overlooking Central Park. We had orchestra seats and it was fantastic. And since that was only 4 hours out of our stay we had all this time to play in one of the greatest cities in the world. What a wonderful trip. And so many different agencies donated, nothing put us over the mark and we didn't have to pay any taxes on it. This is my only winning, but it was perfect.

The 1960's. In that decade the Civil Rights emerged, the questioning of an unjust war emerged, the questioning of male/female roles emerged. Plus there was the greatest music ever made in modern times. And you young ladies today, you can thank the brief clothes you wear to all those midriffs that daring young women wore then. We have a lot to thank them for.
