professor_mum's journal:| You Are An ISTP |
 You are calm and collected, even in the most difficult of situations. A person of action and self-direction, you love being independent. You seem impulsive, surprising, and unpredictable to outsiders. You are good at understanding how all things work, except for people. In love, you tend to be very easy going and flexible. The only thing you can't stand for is someone trying to change you or your life. At work, you can stay completely calm under pressure. You handle stress well. You would make an excellent pilot, forensic pathologist, or athlete. How you see yourself: Logical, flexible, and unconventional When other people don't get you, they see you as: Indecisive, flippant, and disrespectful |

ryf.You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

LIGHT foot and tight foot
And green grass spread:
Early in the morning—
But hope is on ahead.
Stout foot and proud foot And gray dust spread:
Early in the evening,
And hope lies dead.
Long life and short life— The last word said—
Early in the evening,
There lies the bed.
Brief day and bright day And sunset red,
Early in the evening
The stars are overhead.

My old Dell at home has seemingly died. Around two months ago Sean was given a green light to use the same on his own after school for games and a little schoolwork. He has had a Noddy game, with word, number and logic puzzles for around two years, but had previously only been allowed access to the hallowed machine under supervision. He's also into Escape from Monkey Island, Warcraft III and sundry other PC games. Mostly Noddy though.

Well, I can only advise that underwear should be checked before one wears it. At least it wasn't in her panties.

Birthday party snub sparks debate
The introductory paragraph reveals further:
'An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to invite two of his classmates to his birthday party.'
Apparently the school teacher noticed that invitations were not proffered to a boy who had failed to invite the 8-year old in question to his own birthday party and another boy with whom our hero had had a disagreement. The school teacher confiscated all of the invitations stating that the two uninvited childrens' rights had been breached. What rights?
You know, if I hadn't been invited to a schoolmate's birthday party back in the day I might have felt a little peeved; I certainly wouldn't have expected my school to intervene on my behalf. Where would it end? Each child would have to give and receive the same presents, presumably. The little dears would each have to provide a birthday party at the same level as their classmates, whatever the disparity in their parents' means. I don't think the story is a hoax, it should be, but I don't think it is.
Big Brother is here whether we want him or no. I just hope the boy's father's complaint to the Swedish Ombudsman is upheld otherwise I'll be checking into the nearest madhouse shortly (I may do this anyway).
