Man! This past week has just zipped by - like on rollerskates! (Speaking of which - I would LOVE to do this again - but family says NO - broken bones are expensive! Hmmmm!)
The picture concern - apparently I need to empty my cache - and lose all my bookmarks in the process! Let's see..... pictures.. bookmarks! pictures.. bookmarks! You know - this is a TOUGH choice! Sure wish the cache was just on here!!! and would have NO effect on my bookmarks! OR that I could save all my bookmarks (honest - I've save LOTS more in the past- on a notebook too!) and still had pictures! Have to think on this - plus my brilliant son who does a lot of things with computers may visit today! hopefully!
As to what happened on my To Do list - I went inside, sat down - and that was that until after it was dark -at which time I got up, ate, and went back to bed! I also answered a phone call (explained in next paragraph below)
Friday - I had recieved a request to substitute for high school physics - which I did - but didn't enjoy as much as I have the middle school. I have SOOOOOO many rants about our public school system and non-ability to allow the students to accept responsibility for their actions! I did manage to have them complete the work that was SUPPOSED to be turned in first thing in the morning (only 3 kids out of ALL 5 classes of 24 kids per class had actually done it!!!!!) I gave them 20 minutes - and told them, when they started chitter chattering that the ONLY person allowed to talk in there was ME! When the kids answered the lab sheets (answers on the same lab sheet page as the questions - all they had to do was FIND the answer and write it down! Geesh! Rocket science??? Not on MY rocket, thank you!) they were told to pick up the next handout papers and work on that one and that there were questions at the end that would have to be handed in. (True - but they actually had until next TUESDAY! I just didn't say when. And NO ONE thought to ask until right before the bell - most kids done anyway - again answers in the handout - just copy them down!)
And my son and daughter and any of the other kids who came and stayed awhile would all agree - DON'T get Mom started on the public school system!
