Hey Abby7, hope you don't mind but I copied that over to the Hairball Heaven, Cat Thread (attributed it to you, of course).

That was a too funny for words and all of us cat lovers are going to howl! What a find! Thx

Anyone know where I would go to sell silver serving pieces? I have tons of inherited pieces that I just have no use for. How would I establish fair market value?

Texannie,

Try replacements.com. They buy and sell. Not sure how much they pay, but at least you have a buyer.

Thanks. I had looked at them to try to figure out value, but didn't realize they bought.

I don't know if it's lack of sleep or what, but if someone could help me out with this question for school, that'd be absolutely fabulous. What does this mean? Maybe I just don't understand the question....


Recall a writer with whom you have felt rapport as well as a writer with whom you have felt little or no rapport. What made the difference? Provide suggestions for building rapport between the writer and readers of written communication.

It's essentially asking you which writers you have enjoyed, which you haven't, and why. And then it's asking you to think about ways a writer can build a relationship with his or her reader. so, for example, you can say, I have always liked Mark Twain's writing because it seemed conversational, direct, and humorous, which made his serious points much more palatable. On the other hand, Henry James, with his stilted dialogue, overly formal constructions, ambiguities, (etc.) have always left me cold. Twain's example demonstrates that the most effective way for a writer to communicate with his or her reader is.... [blah blah blah]

To be truthful, James is absolutely my favorite writer, but I understand why people hate him: his prose can be thick as soup. But I also like Twain.

Since the word "rapport" is used they may want a writer you feel connected to/not at all connected to, moreso than a writer you enjoy/not enjoy.

Tish, thank you that is awesome, no I won't plagiarize your post. LOL I think I will discuss how I enjoy. I knew asking here would help me understand the question.

By rapport, I think they may mean how we relate to the writer and writing and why we feel that way.

Am I correct? I hope this board can help me get my degree, LOL. You guys ready>?

rapport means, essentially, a harmonious relationship, empathy, sympathy, etc, but I chose the word "enjoy" because it seems to me that enjoyment and harmonious relationships go hand in hand. So, yeah, whether you relate to a writer or not and why. ETA: so in my original post, you can say, instead of "I have always enjoyed Twain's writing," "I have always felt a rapport with Twain because his writing" etc etc. You might want to include words like empathy and connection in your answer.

I was just watching my DVDs of popular series from a few years ago Wonderfalls. The word rapport was used by main character Jaye who works in a Niagara Falls souvenir shop:

"Tourists are either coming or going. They're not fixtures. So you're never in any real danger of developing a rapport with them."

I just posted my writings regarding a rapport with writers. I used Gabaldon and McCaig. I used words like connection, empathize for the one and disjointed and random for the other. Who can guess which is which?

Ok shoe guru's:
I have my 10 year reunion on Saturday night. It's not formal, it's more semi-formal-casual....le sigh.

SO I guess tha means we can wear what we please

So far I have decided to wear a navy blue dress. It's simple and plain. It could be fancied up or played down. It's straight, cotton and strapless. I bought a long necklace to wear with it, it's silver linked hearts, so it's cutesy. I don't have to wear that.

My question is what color shoes do I wear? I was thinking black, but black shoes, silver necklace, meh. Don't know. Should I go pick up some black jewelry and wear black shoes? What to do, what to do.

ROFLMAO. I didn't think of that. They just don't have anything in Navy that doesn't look either parochial or grandma-ish.
