3 Tiggerts... sure could use some of that HOT weather... you had last summer.... Im running outta firewood..!!
#3 Thank you sweetheart..............
I figure or I hope at least, that today will be the worst of it ( going by hubby's path ) I should start getting better here in a day or so. I am thankful that I have lots of yummy teas to drink and hubby is gonna take care of his own dinner.

If you can believe the weather prognosticators... you should see some relief from the drought this year... hope it is soon.
Been a long day here... mom and I got into it. She keeps telling me she thinks she has alzheimers and I told her that she didn't but that she is always running her yap and doesn't hear what others say and that she needed to shut it at times and pay attention. Tact isn't always one of my best attributes.... I let her yell at me over the phone for a couple minutes and then told her to put her teeth in so I could understand her and she hung up on me. I know I will pay for all this later but just coulnd't deal with it tonight. She is of the mindset that I should do everything for her now that she lives nearby and I am of the mindset that she should do what she can for herself and then I will pick up the slack. I have vented now and feel better. Think a cup of tea is in order.
GMO... you are in my thoughts...

5: You can take all the heat you want. JoanJ two years ago was supposed to be our wet season as el nino let up, but it didn't happen. I gave up watering the lawn, took so much and for no results. I couldn't beat the heat. I hope to move some day where there are streams, rivers, lakes and ponds.

Wow, a lot of posts since I was here earlier today!
Thanks, Factor. . . I've been having a pretty rotten year as far as my career is concerned, and it feels great to get such a nice compliment.
I don't mind giving up my "secret." In fact, before my students even submit any work I tell them exactly what I will do to check. Apparently they either don't listen, or they don't believe me (either is a good possibility).
LD--that's pretty much what I do. I can usually tell when I read something if it is something a student wrote. Sometimes students plagiarize by using passages that are written far above their level--sometimes above the level of my own writing! I don't know who they think they are fooling (add to the fact that most of my students speak English as a second language--then it's even more obvious). But, yes, then I copy and paste into Google. If a student has plagiarized, I can generally find the source in a matter of seconds. There are, actually, several plagiarism detection programs. Apparently they are a little faster, and they can check a complete essay at a time. These are subscription based (and my institution is too cheap/poor to subscribe), but it's not worth it for me to pay for it.
But, yes, Factor I think you were right to like it when professors would catch it. When students get away with cheating it devalues the degrees that everyone else earns. I really have zero tolerance for it. Unfortunately, I know that some professors just look the other way because they don't think it's worth it. Personally, I think those professors are both lazy and irresponsible.

First off..
Deb... I hope you feel better soon! I apologize for missing you last night!
Now... I have been vaping so much 12 recently that my year long standard 18 is actually painful to vape now.
Not a complaint... Actually a good thing... Since lowering my nic level is the only way I'll be able to keep going!
