Samuraiko Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Tell me about it... hence the reason my thesis project did NOT involve me working with children directly (thank God for small mercies). The PhD project will be continuing the study I started in my thesis, but this time going all the way from K-12. And at least THIS time, I won't have to invent a system totally from scratch to do my analysis. It was the first time in the College of Education that any professor saw a thesis take four years. The results were worth it, though. Michelle aka Samuraiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noted many of your posts, BlackSword, in particular where I agree but since most of the time we've both stated a similar position I don't like to just add "me, too" where I've already said something similar, and where we disagree usually you've made a reasonable enough statement I can't find fault with it.

Hyper-Man Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Meanwhile... a hundred some pages ago... It's page 170, August 20-21st. Rachel gently chides those who forget not to reply in this thread. Worldmaker has challenged Chuckg to a duel. Skaramine has discovered Vivarin withdrawl. Worldmaker apologizes for his behavior while being so stressed out. It seems that August has been stressing a lot of people. Doc Sounds like you should consider learning speedreading. At this rate you'll never catch up to the current stuff! HM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate you'll never catch up to the current stuff! I got more than one threat to catch up on. Maybe later you'll get more than one recap a day. Of course, if I never catch up, you'll always have these little windows of what life was like 3 months ago. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klytus Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Jared, my three year old son, is a rabid Dora the Explorer fan... to the point that he calls Boots the Monkey his brother. My mother bought him an episode that had been specifically made for him. She apparently sent the producers some of his information, and included a picture. So today, his episode arrives and he and I and his mother watch it together. Its got the usual simplistic storyline, but the characters talk to him and ask him questions... and his picture appears here and there in the episode itself (including, to his great delight, on the head of a little cartoon boy during the opening credits)... I have no idea how I'm going to get him to go to sleep tonight... This is the most awesome thing I have heard of in a long time. I wish my parents got me presents like this when I was a wee one.
