Ok, that's in school. When would it ever be needed outside of school? And if they had been taught typing instead they would probably be able to keep up.

Dinner was miniscule... Lunch was so big, I only had 300 calories left for the day. Sometimes diets arent as fun as they sound.
Yesterday, Kat decided to go get the mail without putting on her shoes. On her way back down the driveway, she tripped and took a chunk of meat out of her big toe. Mrs E did surprisingly well and didnt pass out, which is her normal coping mechanism to the sight of blood. Well, when I finally got home tonight, Kat was asking to go to the urgent care to remove the flap of skin that was part of the wound. Guess what I got to mess with as soon as I walked in the door.... Once I got that off, it really doesnt look too bad. Bandaid and Neosporin to finish it off, and we just saved a co-pay.

Waitwaitwait... You said something earlier that made you sound like my wife... Now I sound like your husband... We arent married, are we?????
Its a word that that annoying chef yells when he does something ordinary to make it sound like he really did something special.
Here's an amusing thread.
Just realized my Brownies are (for now) beating FV's PAckers. Here we go Brownies...Here we go! Woof...Woof!

So FV, if you move to TN, do you become a Titans fan
Blahhh go away
Oh, and the rumor about the BAM's shipping Monday was sadly just a rumor.Zen is still having trouble with the anodizer guy, and doesn't want to hazard a guess as to when they will actually be ready.
Very few of them are capable of typing that fast JD... And they were taught typing!
. How many people do you know that can type fast enough to take dictation? 
That would work... But I give 3 quizzes a quarter over the material we covered that night... And let them use notes (if they have them) on a quiz. It encourages them to actually write notes down, which makes most people nearly 3x as likely to remember something for the tests. If they did not take notes they ALWAYS do worse on the exams and Final where they can not use them!
CUDDLE TIME!!!!!
(I figured since Stretchy fussed at me last time because I said it with a
, I would pretend to be excited about it this time. )
Hope everyone has a great night!

Its called note taking not dictation. You don't have to put every word the lecturer says to paper. And typing class out not. They weren't taught to type in 3rd grade and then use it all the rest of the years. Look, I can see why cursive was taught 20 years ago but the fact remains my daughter will NEVER need it outside of school.Very few of them are capable of typing that fast JD...

Maybe we were married in a previous life. I guess we could get married in your life after next after next.
I did my stress test!!! and my Echo Cardigram. Fun day...
I got the when, what, and where mail for my Stress Test....It took me 30 minutes to find my Adidas.So I'm figuring that should count for something towards the test itself....I was stressed...I did find my baggy shorts that the letter said was required...I added leg warmers a halo headband and 2 sweat bracelets to the ensemble....I did Olivia Newton John proud...
So it's my turn and I go into this room to begin the test...Where's the treadmill?? So I say where's the Treadmill??
They said just lie down on this bed..I said no...I'm here for a stress test...(I was worried because you always hear of some hospital taking a leg or eye from someone that wasn't scheduled for amputation)..Usually they were there for a Stress Test..So I'm like..Am I in the right place?They were all laughing kinda ghoulish like...I'm scared....I finally laid down but with trepidation and he asked me what kind of coffee I liked. I'm like I drink decaf...He asked me if I wanted cream or sugar...I'm like.I'm here for a stress test.They said they knew that...The coffee was being used as an antidote...I'm like I'm on punked right? Where's the camera and Aston Kutcher?They again laughed fiendishly...
I'm not doing nothing where a cup of coffee is the Antidote...I'm just not. Unless they were testing danish flavors...but I digress..Turns out ...They don't use treadmills anymore...You lie on the bed,they give you an IV.They put something into the iv and all of your blood vessels and arteries blow up giant size. You immediately get a head rush and a burning stomach sensation for about 4 minutes while they film the inside of your body...What?? Yes!! After four minutes they sit you up give you a cup of coffee and the sensation vanishes...What?? Yes....Completely back to normal whatever that is..I didn't brake a sweat...But I looked really silly in my "Getting Physical" leg warmers. I think they do that as a joke... How weird sciency that is! He said I did good..Ta Da!! I am radio active though It should dissipate in 3 to 4 days...Right now Mr.??? and I are sitting with the lights out to see if I actually glow in the dark...

I used to tape record lectures and take notes and listen to it again later. Hmmm, maybe that's why I only lasted two semesters in college.
If I could go back and finish now I would. Didn't seem that important when I was 18. Now it actually sounds like fun.
You're probably right but It doesn't hurt to learn it...I think it gives younger children a boost to their fine motor skills to learn how to control a pen...
