Asa, last year everyone wanted on my Christmas list once they found out I made salsa. They wanted me to make it in quarts as gifts - I told them I ain't that nice. I won't be making any if my maters don't turn a redder shade of green.

Miss Ellie, I know that even though an ISP advertises a certain speed, you are still limited to the quality of the PHONE LINES that you connect to them by. The speed they advertise is 'top possible speed', not 'average speed' and during peak hours of the day, it can get even slower.

He'll know what's coming up. 2)Make sure you preview the vocab. 3)Also preview reading stories and vocab. 4) Ask for study guides at the beginning of the chapter and not three days before the test. That will make a difference too. Sorry - I'll get off my soap box. Been an H.I. teacher pert near 15 years. Sorry for taking up space.

August 04, 2001 - Msg 1528: Good evening Mavis, Fun Girl, Tom, Hazel and where oh where is ASA!!!?? Special greetings to Roary - you come back and sit a spell, we'll watch the fireflies and the corn grow. This porch is right nice to be sittin' on!

It has been a fun day at the homemaker's house - one fell down and broke his crown, one played with a goat and got his crown scratched. A little blood never hurt anyone. I'm a Band-aid mom extra-ordinaire!
Have a good evening - time to settle down for awhile.

About the little hearing impaired boy,a neighbor of mine has a daughter that was born deaf in one ear and has a coclear implant now and can hear and even learning to speak much more clearly.Don't know much about them,just thought I'd be neighborly and mention it since we're just sittin'.fifechick
August 04, 2001 - Msg 1533: Since we're just sitting and visitin', firechick, I'll mention that my daughter knows sign language and has always had an interest in that sort of stuff. She's been a aid for 3 years running for kids at the high school who have special needs. Welcome to the porch, fifechick - Hazel
August 04, 2001 - Msg 1534: Didn't mean to call you firechick there in my first line. I really need to proofread my posting better. I didn't mean to imply that I think you go around startin' fires, or anything like that... - Hazel

Barney: How do you fight fire?
Andy: With a hose?
August 04, 2001 - Msg 1535: Well we talked to them there city doctor's about Little Opie's ears and they said them Cochlear Implants don't help on his type of hearing loss. His has to do with the nerves. Vut taks for mentioning it fifechick. I think that tomorrow or next week at the latest I will have to face the music and go shopping for Opie some school clothes. I ain't to big on shopping, but I'll be durned if Opie hasn't gotten tall and slender this summer and all his pants are falling down around his ankles. Next weekend I am going to Michigan for a blue grass festival. My darling boys are playing the guitar and fiddle. It is held during the county fair. Two fairs in two weeks. Now that's adventure living. What ever did I do before I found the porch. Anybody heard anything from Asa? Maybe we ought to call Barn and put out an APB.

August 05, 2001 - Msg 1542: Well, we went clean into Mt. Pilot and got the boy some new britches and shoes for school. Now all we need to do is take him over to Floyd's and get his ears lowered and he will be all set. (No that ain't no fancy surgery for the hearing impaired, it just means getting his hair cut. LOL)
It sure is quiet around here. I hope Asa ain't gone fishing and fell asleep and rolled in the lake.
Guess I'll sign off for the day. See ya'll tomorrow for sure. As always, your Fun Girl
