No crackers?Dagnabit y'all are making me hungry and all I had was a tin of sardines!
I think that you will still be a "Super Member" Celtic, but we all know that you have always been a super member.

AWWW! You're so sweet, Jerry!
I love my Voltville family. Y'all are so awesome. Makes my whole day brighter just coming to Chit Chat and see what mischief y'all are up to.
Aww, but it's been far too quiet in Voltville lately, Celtic. No Raven, no Terry, none of the guys. A few quick posts and everyone is gone. I hope that Voltville isn't dying, like so many threads before it, have died out.
Yes, where is Rave? Usually, she's back by Monday. I wonder if she's still having problems with her Internet connection. Then again, since we haven't seen Terry, maybe they are conferring over a house.
Tutoring report.
I decided every Monday will be writing day. Again, I read the kids a story: Rapunzel. The girl's assignment was to write a short recap of the story. She doesn't understand the concept and will retell it in every detail. This makes the work harder than it should be. The boy has no trouble abbreviating things, and I want him to lengthen them a little. The boy's assignment was to write about a mistake made by someone in the story and tell what that person should have done instead to avoid the mistake. He wrote about a half page. Well, at least he understands what he's supposed to write. The girl begged me to read shorter stories. So I wrote out a short encapsulation of the story while she labored away, and had her read what I wrote. Maybe seeing how I handled it will give her the idea.
They both did their fill-in-the-blanks, and I have a new project for the girl. She mixes up past and present tenses, so I took some verbs that she got wrong in her writing and wrote them out in past, present, and future. Below that is a fill-in-the-blanks, but it's easy, since the words are listed in the same order. So she doesn't have to really think which one to use, just put it into the sentence. Later, I'll do ones where she does have to figure it out, but since she's clueless about it now, I want to give her practice using them correctly and seeing the differences.
I'm going to propose that next Saturday, weather permitting, we go to Watkins Glen. The kids have been good students and worked hard, so they certainly deserve a field trip. I think it's a good idea to make field trips contingent on good work and cooperation.
So next field trip may be to the Syracuse zoo. I've never been there, so it will be interesting for me, too. And I've also been thinking of the Corning Museum of Glass. I was fascinated by a visit there when I was a kid, though I think I was a bit older.

Sorry guys. I've been really bummed lately because it doesn't look like I'm going to get that house I wanted because it won't pass a USDA inspection due to a tiny pit of mold and since I have 0 money to put down, it seems the only way to go. Rave and I have been looking for alternatives and other houses so that has been taking up a lot of my time and Rave usually needs Monday to recover from the weekend especially now since she's been touring a few houses for me and taking lots of pics and vids so I can see them. It's not looking good so I haven't been very sociable.
Not that I ever am anyway.
{{{Terry}}} sorry about the house. I hope your (and Rave's) search is successful.
Celtic, tell my why I got involved in the religion thread in the Outside. I promised myself that I wasn't going to get involved in any politics or religion threads. 
Bad Jerry.... Don't get sucked in!!!! That thread is trying to suck me in... believe it or not I am very opinionated and I would probably get in trouble over there. 
I know Celtic, I know !!!!! Well, at least no one got there feathers ruffled, while I was there. I think that some feathers are getting ruffled now, though.
Good move, young lady, stay away from there

The creation/evolution debate? Peanuts!
How about people saying that the Mormon priesthood and the Catholic priesthood are the same thing, and the Catholic Church is just as evil as the Mormon Church. I just blew my top on that one. Not any place near here on the 'net.
