My screen name is tooldady, my wife gave me this name when we got our first computer about 15 years agoe, the reason of the name is because I have always have had lots of tools because from being a machinist and mechanic,and being the father of 4 kids I guess she thought it fit.
How about yours Diger,does your name have any meaning of any kind?
Thanks, Tooldady

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I know I did! I went to Buffalo, NY (from Philadelphia- 8 hour drive, yuck!) to be with my family. It was especially nice to see my 2 nieces and my nephew, though all 3 are handfulls and my nephew (almost 8) is downright mean these days.
I have to share a funny story, though: one that could only happen in my family. My sister had report card conferences last week for her 5 year old daughter Molly and almost 8 year old son Zachary. So, being the teacher that I am, I asked how they did. Molly did fine, which was no big surprise. Zach got an "N" in "listens and follows directions." But my sisters immediately followed up that statement by explaining that the teacher said that this was because Zach was smart, so it was a good thing. Being full of wonder at this point, I asked her what EXACTLY the teacher said. So here's what she tells me: "The teacher said that Zachary doesn't usually listen to her directions because he thinks his own directions are better. So sometimes he gets the answers right and sometimes he gets the answers wrong, based on whether his choice of directions are right." DUH! So this is a GOOD thing, dear sister? Only my sister would interpret this as good. Basically the teacher is saying he doesn't listen to or follow directions and that's it's affecting his work. But my sister totally doesn't see it that way. Too funny. Or am I nuts and just hearing the statement like a teacher and my sister is right? It just sounds like teacher-ease to me for 'your kid doesn't listen and is messing up because of it.'
Anyway, that's my Thanksgiving story. I look forward to Christmas when I can see my nieces and nephew again. For Christmas I travel to Buffalo on Saturday, stay until Christmas morning, leave for Albany after Mackenzie opens her gifts, and get to Albany in time for Zach and Molly to come back from their father's house at 3:00 to open their gifts at their mom's house. Then I'll return to Philly on Thursday. It'll be busy but fun.

ps- I have to tell you something else that's funny, while I'm in a good mood and telling funny things. Remember that nightmare kid that assaulted me? His mother asked me to fill out a RECOMMENDATION form for one of the best schools in the city, most of the form asking about his behavior. Doesn't she realize that I'm going to tell the truth..... but I suppose it'll be good for me to vent.

Loved your stories! Kids...even our own relatives, say the darnest things but sometimes the mom's and dad's can top them!
You have that ability to look at these types of issues just like the Prof and our two daughters, as you know who are both teachers. Our youngest usually has these types of discussions with the Prof's sister who has a young daughter that was being taught by our youngest daugher's best friend.
Of course the Prof's sister, our daughter's aunt, thought that the teacher was completely wrong and didn't know how to teach. Then got an ear full from our daughter as she told her aunt about her daughter's attitude and demeanor in class and it mirrored the teacher's comments. Of course the aunt stopped talking to our daughter on this subject there after.
Thanks for sharing your Thanksgiving stories. Glad you made it back home safely.

Melissa, Nice stories/tales. Hope to see you in Chat again on Tuesday. That troublesome child is in for a big awakening. Maybe it's a good thing.
We had an almost boring holiday. We grilled ham steak w/pineapple. I baked homegrown (neighbor) sweet potatoes, homemade mashed potatoes, salad, and ice cream for dessert.
Have a grand holiday season.
Hugs, Cheri

My mother has been teaching since 1953. She is working 3 half days this year. My oldest started teaching a first year buisness course this fall(college). Younger daughter is working on her teaching certification (she works with pre-K). I'm sure I will hear plenty of stories this Christmas.

Have a nice NUDE day !!
