I have one I've been hoarding... I'm thinking about maybe getting someone to look at the tech in it soon because that is my weakest point... so um... hey!

i have a project ongoing that i need at least one artist, possibly more for. The job is simple... 3 panels rated G. My students are 9 to 11 years old. The pictures must be related and should make a story in some way. In 3 panels or less. pen or pencil, photographs are good. email me the images and I will email you back the stories the kids write about your panels. Just a thought. Help a guy out. Lugh thank you

This is why everyone who can should become an organ donor! Just mark your license. gah. sorry. my son is also on dialysis and Adam helped him through being a teenager with a life threatening illness. It's hard and it's even harder sitting back and watching shit happen. And honestly, you have two kidneys... you can live on one. If you are young (under 40) and healthy this is an all expenses paid procedure from the testing to the aftercare. And if you ever need any transplants you become #1 on the list for life. Save a life... donate today!

Good story..... So is this finders fee thing like a primitive scheme cause Cia stuck around cause of me.....

tosses Renee a floatie from his year from hell escape dingy... the race to 2014 is on!

what exactly is steeplechase? hell if ohio can have cornhole I want sandcastle building or bungee jumping.... sky diving? something that at least sounds interesting.

I would love it if you had an editor/proofreader read through this story... the story itself is quite good, however.... there are moment such as: I shoved my fish in my mouth. that tossed me totally out of the story and then made me laugh like a hyena. Generally they looked like auto edit errors, however there were some grammar things too. I really did like the imagery and the love story had me going awwwwww.... so.... (because this was a topic of discussion a while back on-site) why specifically a deaf person? (and not just the stuff up in the interview unless that's all it is)

meh... yes.. no... whatever. It's all internalized on both the reviewer and the reviewee... To be honest if I don't like a particular review I totally ignore it or just say something like... thank you for reading or thank you for your review and move on. Then again sometimes I say thank you for reading or I'm glad you enjoyed it just to acknowledge the review when I'm dealing with a lot of reviews or in a hurry. I'm not being rude or anything, I just want to let people know, yes I got it, thank you. People should take the time to review either by pressing the review button or the PM button, or even in passing in chat or something. Hey I read your story the other night, good job. It's not really a review, but it is an acknowledgement that the story was read and well received. Sometimes that is just as important. It can start a conversation. It can lead to an in depth discussion. If the author ignores the passing comment I figure either they aren't interested in what people think or they didn't see the comment. meh... whatever.

Yes! it's Cia's birthday... have a happy one and many more!

hrumph... well you should when they are really good... or mine.. yeah that's it... when they're mine.

yeah and I released an ebook... that should be in there somewhere too... pouts. Binding... get yours now!

thank you.

Actually the separation of church and state is not a constitutional right. It was an idea written in Thomas Jefferson's letter's but not actually written into the constitution other than the fact that the government can't pick out a religion and say "this is the religion for the entire country" like England did with the Church of England.

why? what do inquiring minds want to know now?

4000 word sex scene = pure smut

it is pure smut.

snickers --- a national park on the moon... I wanna be THAT ranger!

You're welcome. Thank you for reading.

just my 2 cent but a glacier is a cliff of ice...

well shit.... I need to stop right now I'm ruining bump... we studied grammar all year (a month on each part of speech), geography (one continent a month and a month for oceans) this year, a whole year on astronomy, some other science and history unit studies that took 4-6 weeks... we spend 20 - 45 minutes on a single subject a day... lawdy lawdy... I'm screwing him up horribly.

ok that was interesting... his first response was to tell me you need to put in "cooking food more than one way" which is damn close... but there is a vast difference between a five year old who has been taught to use search engines and look things up on his own rather than me give him all the information than a teenager (who by the way CAN drive a car in this country at 15 in some states and take drivers education in all of them) who has been given free reign and no skills on the technology they have at their fingertips. Bump uses an online dictionary and thesaurus daily for his lessons. BUT he can also use a paper one that is age appropriate. He can find a book in the library card catalogue which is computerized. He loves to browse it. I'm not saying that a tablet should replace a teacher. I'm saying that a tablet in the hands of a child with a teacher who knows how and when to use them in the classroom and who is willing to allow the children to explore and expand their educational boundaries, can allow wonderful things to happen. Don't let the concept of "this is how I learned so it's how my child should learn" stifle the forward expansion of how education can and does take place in a world of changing technology. This is no longer a world where children travel no further than they can walk in a week. Now they can travel the globe -- or the universe -- in their living rooms and we as educators are here to make ways for it to happen, to allow it to happen, and to encourage it to happen. Technology is moving forward. Children are the first to adapt. Teachers are slower. School systems even slower. Change must and will happen.. This is one of the fundamental reasons I homeschool. Bump has been on a computer since he was two. Not just pushing buttons, but actively engaged. By the time he was three, he could properly open the laptop, turn it on, 'log on', open his folder, choose his activity, and when he was finished, properly log out of the activity, log out of the computer, turn it off, and put it away. This is at three. He was using a touch pad on the laptop. Now he uses a mouse, touchpad, or touch screen, all with the same ease. Technology is what it is, and that is nothing more than what you make of it. If you, as a parent or a teacher, don't embrace it or allow access to it, or teach how to use it then the children at whatever age will remain ignorant. As someone else said... Teacher --- teach.

want me to ask the five year old?

Sasha I asked my 18 year old to do this... his first guess was to put "food service recipe development" into google.... not whatever you said.

Actually Sasha.... Put this technology in the hands of a five and six year old and give them instruction... and you teach them to be self-learners. It is a well-known fact among homeschoolers that if you give a child a love for learning and some basic skills such as reading and basic math -- they can do just about anything they want. There are test scores that back this up. I have taught pk - 3rd (4 to 8 year olds) and currently home school a 5 year old who uses technology daily, prefers to read ebooks, and keeps a blog.

yay! I'm glad!
