Comments (15)Thanks everyone. This is probably the final version. I think I have it as cleaned up as it's going to be. Hunter's Moon The Hunter's Moon illuminates the world tonight, With an ethereal light that illustrates in back and white. Orion rises in the east all right, Signaling that it is a winter's night Smoke wafts leisurely from chimneys aglow Whilst Christmas lights Color the dark That tell of faith and hope and warm hearts. The cold invites a snuggle beneath Handmade quilts With a beloved old pet by the hearth, Sipping hot toddies to warm the bones, Wondrously clear is a cold winter's night. ....nope, methinks it still needs tweaking....See MoreWeekend Trivia - Saturday
Comments (21)From Wiktionary: The Latin de denotes the going out, departure, removal, or separating of an object from any fixed point. From Merriam-Webster Online: Latin fenestra is window. -tion, the process of or action of. Pretty much as Libby wrote. So defenestration means the act of throwing someone or something out the window. Eduarda gets . Anyone else? Annette, on a tag? Libby? Take 'em if you have 'em coming, my friends. Ana, you remembered about the window replacement. You have some kind of memory!

Comments (25)ccrdmrbks, I was sorry to hear about your father's accident. It sounds like a very upsetting experience for both of you. Luckily, he has people around him who can monitor him closely. Rosefolly, I heard about Gaslight, but I think I was too late to participate. Le Fanu left some very good ghost stories, though my favourite ghost story writer will always be M. R. James. It really amazes me how much 19th century literature has been given a second life on the internet. Like yourself, I am very grateful to these unknown people who did all the work. For example, when I wanted to read Sarah Orne Jewett's story Lady Ferry, I was able to do so immediately. For years I have wanted to read Dawn Powell's story The Glads, which she wrote about her sister's funeral. I wish someone would put it on the internet, but so far no one has done so. I hope you enjoy Anne Hereford, Carolyn. Please let me know what you think about it....See MorePoor grammar: Is it just me...
Comments (87)Vee, my high school had about a thousand students and probably close to one hundred teachers (not counting support staff). Using English as an example, there was at least one teacher for every grade level, thus I had a different English teacher every year. One year I actually had two: the one who taught grammar and composition during the fall term, and the one who taught literature in the spring term. Btw, that sequence -- grammar in the fall, literature in the spring -- held through all of my four years of English. Donnamira, I loved diagramming sentences! I wonder why it was discontinued, as it seemed to me to be a wonderful way to learn the structure of English. I can relate to your experience of understanding a limit in trig! Those breakthroughs were always worth much more than the price of tuition, I think. You had a lot more exams than I remember taking. I don't think we had anything like your Regents exam. We took the Iowa Achievement Test every year from about third grade; but as it was supposed to be an assessment of how much we had already learned, we were not drilled on what we could expect to appear in it. And I never studied specifically for it -- I don't think anyone did. Neither did I cram, as so many students later have done, to take the ACT and/or SAT. I took both, very casually. Vee, I don't recall my schedules of classes, but I think we had each subject daily much the same as Kath and Donnamira did. I didn't have "blocks" before college. High school began at 8 a.m. and let out at 3.45 p.m. We had seven class periods and lunch between those times. We were discouraged from talking, as well, especially during class. I'm always surprised to hear the din in modern classrooms....See More- 7 years ago
