Cricket you really should poke around Craig's list...I fell in love w/it about a year ago. It is amazing what you can get off the free board there. Ironically I'm picking up a gas grill from someone in my own town tomorrow that I found on there! And pricing is usually so good in the sale section...hope to have some $$$ to spend again. But you can find great stuff on there. Plus it's now the best source for Yard sale listings too. It really has just about any resource on it you could need. I heard that one bad story too, but I think it's like anything in life. You can meet a crazy person anywhere. Now I've never dealt with the personal's or the job board there, but I've never had anything but extremely positive experiences. I wouldn't judge it just from one bad event when there are literally millions of interactions that stem from a Craig's listing.

Thanks, Bee re the Charter Schools. Sheila was saying the community/parents have them in Los Angeles because the kids are so involved in what..being teens? I thought Charter Schools offered special subjects for advanced students. I must have them confused with another name for special schools. However, continuation schools (as least from where I was from) were for those who dropped out of regular school or were getting failing grades.

My understanding of Charter schools is they don't have anything to do with advanced students. It's mostly about setting up a school that is not the traditional format and getting a LOT of parental involvement. Now some were set up for advanced students, but many around here are just for people who want a "different" type of school and have the time to volunteer a lot at the school.

Cricket...a Charter School can basically have any cirriculum they like, as it is run by the community. So, while they have to meet basic requirements, they can also focus on art, or math or whatever they, as a community, decide they want. Continuation school is, indeed, for those who are in one way or another unable to keep up in the regular school.

Oh btw, my take on Charter schools is that they vary wildly often by the area of the country. In some area's Charter schools primarily cater to those who have had problems in the public school system and get funneled into them. In others they have become a step above public schools. It took me awhile to come to see this, because I was talking to friends in drastically different geographic regions, and they were talking about them so differently. Then I stumbled onto a news story that discussed how totally different the concept is in different areas and why that is part of the reason why it is such a debated issue. The key of the story was that someone needs to get Charter schools to mean the same thing because folks are fighting for and against a concept that can be very different than it is in their school system. (that hurt my head to try to explain in a semi-short post lol)

This idea that James thinks he can stay is wrong. He knows he is going to sequester to his friends Wednesday. He is just messing with Nat and ruining her chances to win the big money.

While Adam and Ryan watch from spy cam in HOH - DrC James discusses game and how he is going to be on Natalie until he leaves. Shelia is glad for the help since he plans to get Natalie so that it effects her playing in the next HOH since when did sheila start hating on Nat .... did those 2 have a fight or something? Or is all the hate James for Nat spewing onto sheila?

I think they should get rid of Sharon and not James If James is the great player he professes to be, he shouldn't have had a problem making that happen this week, Buddee. However, he's decided to ruin Nat's game instead.

Bbnine, Sheila has always not like Nat completely, but she's needed her to stay in the game. However, now that it's getting to them having to turn on each other, Sheila's claws are coming out. Sheila liked Allison..figures. I hope they become best friends.

Then he's completely wasting his time, isn't he, Goldie. A great player wouldn't do that.

Goldie, ITA...I just don't think it's working. He seems to be giving people a reason to keep her. Sheila just told Adam that she would never win b/c everyone in sequester hates her. LOL ETA: She also mentioned that Ryan has a sore neck and probably won't do well if it's physical...hehehe. I love it.

nat wouldnt handle the 1/2 million too well anyway, most of them won't. Maybe Ryan or Adam would handle it the least foolishly.
