Anyways, I, too, have recently made some shopping-enabler friends from my teaching program (also stylish English people, like yourself). I'm sure it will come back to bite me later, but right now it is actually nice to have people to shop with, since I'm having to build up a professional Teacher Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584631503400120715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30079493.post-79607507403857729142007-01-22T21:21:00.000-08:002007-01-22T21:21:00.000-08:00mom - grandma is crazy. that is all.

Space is magnificently complex and poses all sorts of challenges to humans. Why does a sci-fi book that young adults read simplify all of that and instead focus on silly battle maneuvers? Young adults, especially boys, are already attracted to the unrealistic depiction Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30079493.post-59134799010745784002007-01-21T19:35:00.000-08:002007-01-21T19:35:00.000-08:00Alfred: Dude, seriously!

Anyway, can you see what I'm doing, Alfred? I'm rolling my gigantic eye with disbelief.<br /><br />By the way, Alfred, thanks for sharing your chocolate with me. Delicious.

My feet do not enter a mall sometimes for months at a time. Must be an argument for the nature vs. nurture controversy. Your grandmother excitedly mentioned to your aunt about going shopping when we are all together next week for her 80th birthday (blew our minds) but then I correctly guessed that we would end up at Lowe's hardwareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
