Got Something You Want To Say?

You were in the navy?! Wow, what was that experience like?

My brother went to college from 18-22, and I went in the navy. He got a degree, I got an education. I would not trade with him. [/list:u]

Nicely put. I have a cousin in the Navy (I think) and I rarely ever get to see her. How does it work? Is it voluntary, or do you get drafted?

At the time, there was a draft, but I volunteered. I knew I wasn't going to college, so, what the hey, you gotta do something. Re: totally dense, remember, "There's no such thing as a dumb question" [/list:u]

Ya know, I totally used to believe this... until I started teaching. :beaten:

I've done a fair bit of teaching/instructing myself and I think "There is no dumb question." is correct in general, but you'll need to look at the whole picture - the second part of that quote goes something like this: "...but there are a lot of dumb ass doing the asking." :sweat:

I enjoy reading everybody's comments on change and hope and peace, and I agree we must believe in change and fight for it. No matter how dire things look, we can't give up. Impeach yes, give up, no.

But to strike a more prosaic but important note, one vital thing we can all do to effect change is to VOTE!

It's a privlege that we still have in this country. Even if it looks like a choice between two evils, just go for the lesser evil, and we all can pretty well determine who that is.

How do you explain the dumb queries that people working in call centers receive? :sweat: :hehe:

Don't be so sure. Evil may very well be the more tempting choice, rather than the more frightening.

Dumb and moronic are two different things. [/list:u]On topic: My calendar says that there is a full moon tonight, Wyn-chan, when you go in tomorrow you might want to check the VP for residual werewolf signs. You know, excessive facial hair, fangs, etc. Just a heads up

Check! I'll take my anti-demon kit to work tomorrow. :thumbsup:

Questions asked because of ignorance aren't stupid, but questions that are rephrased and asked again after an answer has been revealed ARE stupid, and i don't mean to be sexist, but a lot of the times it's the male students doing the dumb asking. :headscratch:

Hmm, yes I do have something I want to say:

I'm freezing cold and it's making me feel miserable. There's a load of fireworks outside because it's Bonfire Night, and the noise is annoying me. Goodness, I'm grumpy tonight.


And...Saito Hajime - I love your little dancin' Domo kun! I love Domo so much, I have my own personal little monster - he's pictured in my avatar.

I've just got the 2007 Domo wall calendar, and the pictures of Domo and his cave-dwelling friends are just too kawaii!!!!

:hehe:

What's Bonefire Night?

Hi Wynter, Bonfire Night is a celebration we have in the UK each November the 5th.

It's to remember the Gunpowder Plot - where someone called Guy Fawkes (and others) tried to blow up London's Houses Of Parliament in 1655.
The plot was foiled, and Guy Fawkes executed.

Now on Nov 5th, people here have fires (bonfires) and burn effigies of Guy Fawkes. Also, people let off lots of fireworks.

Here's a link with more info -

I didn't know that. Someone recommended that film to me, but I think it might be a bit too scary for me (I'm a scaredy cat) :mrgreen:

well it's not incredibly gory or violent...it seems more of a political thriller if you will...with a heavy dose of action thrown in.
