Lucy | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 12:47 pm     Right now, I'm trying to catch up with all the new board members by leaving a "howdy" in their folder...I'm only part way through the "A's"!! Sorry Tigerfan, guess I should have started with the "Z's". Right now, I'm going to take a detour over to Tiger's folder.... |
Gidget | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 12:54 pm     Right now I have decided to get take out for dinner. I have plenty of healthy food in the fridge but I want pizza!!! I don't usually eat take out but I am on a carbohydrate binge. It all ends Sunday. Back to my low sugar diet. But I need a few days to be baaaaad |
Texannie | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 01:13 pm     Right now, I should be doing that Lucy, since I am Ms Introduce Yourself, but can I just declare you the surrogate? Right now I am wondering if Gidget in on Sugar Busters? |
Reader234 | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 01:19 pm     Right now I'm thinking of the posts I just read, and wonder do I respond? Or is that off topic? Right now I want to lol at sq/pamy/weinermr's humor - and knowledge!! Had 1/2 bagged those mean people?? {{{HUGS}}} to Tess, and not1 Right Now I'm remembering what the jr hi teachers said about how we are teaching fuzzy math in elem school, its not just there Gidget. Gidge if/when you get take out, drink lots and lots of water, it will help flush out your system, take out is usually higher in sodium. {{HUGS}} I'm right there with you... Right Now, I hope Tabby's son is gonna make it thru calc, but sounds like he does have a great tutor for support!! (my ds is already registered, because of his hearing impairment, he went to the head of the line, he is oh, so relieved!!) DD is a maygun, megan is usually pronounced meegan - it is the Scottish pronunciation, from what I'm told (I have a gf who is scottish and she was surprised I knew to ask!!) Lucy - There are a lot of wonderful new members, Jan and a few of the Starting Over show posters have invited some over, and they are flocking in droves, THANKS to JAN and her wonderful spoilers (Canada TV is a day ahead of starting over here!!) SO has an official bb, but they arent moderated, so sometimes it gets out of hand!! (SO is a daily reality show, filmed in Chicago about women picked to live in a house, and work on personal goals, assigned to a life coach, and are filmed 24/7 - and they AREN'T actors!!) Right now I'm counting down till survivor starts, and I dont want anyone to ask me about that evening meal either!! |
Tigerfan | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 01:32 pm     Right now I just finished scrambling to thank everybody for the warm welcomes..Also trying to figure out what I'm gonna tell the boss when he figures out that I only got 10 min.'s worth of work done today |
Texannie | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 01:41 pm     Right now, I keep forgetting to ask..what is fuzzy math??? |
Gidget | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 01:44 pm     Tigerfan it's all in the attitude. I haven't done squat but I make it look good. Texannie, I don't know what sugar busters is. Every so often I have to go strict low carb to get my eating under control. Then I can ease up and eat some carbs in a mindful way. When I eat carbs my appetite never shuts off. I can consume enormous amounts of food. And I am tired and dull witted. Reader, I drink unbelievable amounts of water. No problems there. Since I ate lunch in a restaurant and am having take out for dinner, I will probably be floating and bloating something fierce. LOL I'm so excited about Survivor tonight, too. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 01:49 pm     hmm, every megan i know pronounces it maygun. only one meagan pronounces it meegan and one actually spells her meegan, so there's no doubt there! i like maygun better, personally. my son's hearing impairment got him nothing, except ineligible for rotc or military academy stuff. he supposedly had priority registration first quarter, as do all incoming freshman, but they did it alphabetically, just not from A to Z. it was like Sa-Vus was one group, Be-Fa was another, etc. our last name starts with Co and it got him dead last. 6th group out of 6 groups! all the english courses were gone, the IME (industrial materials lab), the chemistry. he ended up with a couple of his general ed classes, but they aren't easy, either! his speech/communications class you have to have an 86 to have a B-. currently ds has an 83.2 in there! and in his circuit board class, only 2 kids had no experience in this "BEGINNING INTRO TO E.E." course...yep, ds and his partner! sigh........ that is one bad thing about being from a small town. if your high school has one calc teacher and he teaches calculator calculus, and there is no circuit board class available, and there is no theater department....well, pretty much unless you are in AG or FFA, there is nothing at all. i guess it's a trade-off for being able to own a home and be in a smaller, relatively safe area. if i could live in los gatos, i'd be there in a heartbeat, but where we lived in san jose 14 years back would scare you now--and it was a pretty good neighborhood at the time we left. now, all the yards are run-down and there are cars up on blocks and bars on the windows, etc. but the schools there are rated higher than where we are. |
Tigerfan | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 02:12 pm     Right now I'm taking Gidget's advice and practicing my attitude.  |
Bonnyswan | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 02:14 pm     Right now Im on a carb binge too...Ive been low carb for 2 months and lost 30lbs and need a break..which includes LOTS of bread!!! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 02:24 pm     Right now I'm crestfallen -- Lyle Lovett was on Letterman last night, and I fell asleep. I just remembered that he was on. boo hoo hoo |
Tabbyking | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 02:34 pm     i would love to carb binge....i only lost 13 pounds in two months by giving up most all breads, rice, potatoes, etc. i save my carbs for when i have to have a tortilla! we didn't get a lot of trick or treaters, so that candy on the dining room is looking mighty tempting. so far, i have limited myself to one tiny bar a day. tonight i'm going to have a nutrageous when i watch 'survivor' LOL sometimes, i think i would kill for a pringle or a pretzel but the absolute hardest part is when my husband makes home made sourdough bread (sometimes with onions and jalapenos and parmesan wrapped in ribbons inside). and after years, he has perfected the crust to where it is crispy yet light and i have to leave the house when it comes out of the oven! both sundays past, i woke up at 8:00 a.m. to the smell of fresh bread wafting through the house. i wanted to bean my dh over the head! |
Bonnyswan | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 02:56 pm     Right now I just got off my hands and knees after cleaning up an entire glass of spilled milk. Ugh...I tip my hat to all of you stay at home moms that are GOOD at what you do and actually ENJOY it. |
Gidget | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 04:10 pm     Right now I have to clean up the kitchen and get everything in order so I can sit down in front of Survivor and not be thinking about what I have to do. |
Denecee | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 04:16 pm     Right now, my mouth is watering with Tabbyking talking about all that bread(my downfall). Also, right now, I would like to tell all you chocolate lovers that Russels Stovers makes very good low carb treats, zero sugar carbs! I'm hooked on them. |
Secretsmile | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 04:31 pm     Right now my son is making no bake cookies, the chocolate kind with oatmeal and peanut butter. He has a special touch with those cookies but he hasn't made them in months. (thanking his girlfriend for requesting them) LOL! Right now I'm glad my husband is at the church so I can eat some of those same cookies without guilt. |
Gidget | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 04:50 pm     Denecee- I bought some of those sugar free chocolates. They're not bad when I'm trying to be good. I like the various hard candies that are available now too. But they all say if you eat too many well they'll start going right thru you. But they don't say how many is too many. |
Reader234 | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 05:00 pm     LOL, Right now I'm thinking other people post to stay away from the carbs!! I thought it was just me!! When it gets really bad, I try and post first, and the next thing I know an hour has gone by!! Right now I remember talking to Tabby about the hearing loss, but it may be worth your time to find the office of disablities and find out what the requirements are for your son to sign up... (esp if it means early registration, they do that so ds can monitor a class before he signs up for it, since he reads lips...) Right now I am agreeing with Bonny... and fuzzy math is an expression we use with politicians, that have budgets, and then reality... but our school has been using "Chicago Math" and they teach the kids to do multiplying big numbers with what they call lattice method. picture a square, divide it into columns (say its a 2 digit by 2 digit # ie 23 X 42) Partial-Sums Algorithm 2 6 8 + 4 8 3 ________ 6 0 0 1 4 0 1 1 ________ 7 5 1 Add 100s Add 10s Add 1s Add partial sums Partial Product Algorithm 67 x 53 _______ 50 x 60 3000 50 x 7 350 3 x 60 180 3 x 7 21 _______ 3551 Division: 12Into 158|10 (you think 12X10) 120 so 158 - 120 38 | 3 (so you think 12X3) 36 subtract 2 now you add that column (I couldnt make ) which has the 10 then the 3 under it, and its 13... that way if you do 9 instead of 10, and you have to do it one more time, you do add, a lot less erasing in this, the columns helps, but it really isnt doing the majority of the kids any favors, we are finding out... Now have I really confused any one Right Now??? (it wouldnt let me tab, and I tried to show things like the kids have it, but it just didnt work with me!! so picture in your head correct place value columns....) SURVIVOR IS ON RIGHT NOW!! |
Tabbyking | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 05:47 pm     other than the last line: SURVIVOR IS ON RIGHT NOW!! i have no idea what you tried to 'splain to me! whatever happened to 'guesstimating' and then actually multiplying? we have been in this town for 14 years and they are on their 4th 'no-fail' reading system. i remember with dd we had to learn 'ali, bubba, catina cat, deedee deer, and elephant' or something like that. the kids and teachers had to swing arms for elephant trunks and make whisker movements for the cat...how the hell did that help in reading? but that only lasted a year or two. then there was the da nelian method of printing where all the letters were calligraphy looking, because it would supposedly help them go into cursive later. whatever happened to the 3 r's?! |
Gidget | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 06:13 pm     Yup I was a victim of the 60's version of new math. Mom got me straight with the old fashioned way. I make my living making sure the numbers are right. There's big bucks behind those numbers so I can't afford to mess up. Thanks Mom |
Tabbyking | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 06:42 pm     i can't believe i have more than an hour before i can see survivor...and i haven't peeked once tonight. hard to keep myself away, but i want to be surprised when i see lil and burton come back LOLOLOL wouldn't that be something if it were nicole and skinny ryan? |
Reader234 | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 07:41 pm     Right now, I'm not sayin, but I LOVED Every minute of survivor, except how they voted off (the person that went) at the very end. I'm not sayin... |
Mak1 | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 08:10 pm     Right now, I'm saying I love this season of Survivor! I don't understand some of the evictions, but the show is always entertaining. Right now, I figured out the math Reader showed. It seems to me the regular way is quicker/easier. I remember the '60s "new math". We had it for a year, then we never saw it again. |
Tigerfan | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 06:05 am     Right now, I'm w/ Reader and Mak1...Best season of Survivor yet! what a ride!I so didn't see that comin' |
Texannie | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 06:32 am     Right now, I am with everyone else....wow on Survivor!! |
