I can't help it, I'm so proud and I've just gotta share this. Got
home from errands this morning and found a message on the machine
from our son's principal (Buddy is 8 now and in 3rd grade). My first
thought was "uh-oh", but it was good news.

Over the summer, the principal challenged the kids to read for at
least 25 hours (they kept logs); their reward was to be a root beer
float. Well, it seems that Buddy's log was soooo good (37 hours),
they want to give him and another child a pizza party, and needed
parental permission (naturally I said "yes")...

Wow, good for him! I told my 3rd-grader about this, and he was suitably
impressed. Our school doesn't have a reading incentive over the summer,
but the county library system does. If the kids read 15 books, they get
a coupon book that contains a bunch of summertime-fun freebies...a free
cookie at the bakery, a free pint of ice cream at the supermarket...we
got our coupon books (for the 5-yo and 8-yo) early on, but kept
forgetting to use them! I think we still have a couple of weeks left,
so thanks for reminding me.

Jani, you have much reason to be proud of your son and of yourself.
You also give me the opportunity to enjoy this happy occasion, too,
by sharing the good news and I thank you for that. MS

Hey, it's about pizza! That's certainly food-related. And how many of
those books were cookbooks? Never too early to start them on cookbooks!

Not only did the subject line have "OT" in it, but it also mentioned
food. There was nothing inappropriate in it.

People talk about there kids here all the time...grandkids, too, and
spouses and parents.

Boron

Tsk.!
It's on topic!
We are talking PIZZA party here! :-)

Congratulate Buddy for me, okay? Maybe even a hug, unless he's old enough
to be humiliated by same. It's never too early to start appreciating
books.

Congratulations, to you both :-)
Sounds like you were blessed with a reader! I have always loved to read, as
long as I can remember, and I am grateful that my daughter does too. My son
never wanted to read unless he had to until he turned 16. Go figure

My Daughter reads a great deal, like I do....My son doesn't, like his
mother. I think it is a cross gender inherited trait.

Oh, puhleeze! Try that kind of crap on a newbie, Greg; I've been here
waaaay too long to worry about your opinion. Espcially about a post that

Thanks so much Nancy, and everyone, for the kind words -- I'm going to

from his "Aunt" Carol... :-)

Beaming schmeaming... that's only about 25 minutes a day... for an
eight year old that's like retarded, I'm serious, deadly serious. So
what happens after 25 minutes, does his widdle brain shut down. It's
no wonder the kids today don't possess an IQ... sheesh, I spent at
least triple that time each day just reading comic books. When I was
eight years old, during summer vacation I'd mostly pull all nighters,
reading RLS, Dumas, Samuel Clemens... the librarians couldn't keep up
with me... does your little golden books maven even have a library
card, I bet not, in fact I bet less than 10% of rfc'ers can produce a
valid library card. Imagine, minutes spent reading are more important
than comprehending, and what a stupid reward... that principal needs
therapy.

Sheldon, Maybe the boy spends some time outdoors, maybe he helps his
parents or goes with them, maybe he is a normal, healthy eight year
old with many things to do. Reading at an early age is the first step
to a good education. Unforrunately, if you really read as much as you
claim, it seems it did not have the same effect on your learning
ability. Many of your posts indicate that you did not get a good
education in the field of science.

You're what's low... bragging an eight year old earned an achievement
award for reading (nothing about comprehension, probably just looking
at the pictures) a measly 25 hours in THREE MONTHS doesn't even make
the grade were it an event in the Special Olympics Library Club. I
really don't believe the fercocktah fairy tale, because what kinda
reading award is a root beer float, from a school Principal no less...
I could believe a book, maybe a dictionary too... but a friggin' soda,
gimme a break. The OP has to be retarded too, to think any normal
brained person would believe such an obvious lie.... that's tantamont
to some pinheaded mommy posting how her rugrat earned an award for
finally being potty trained, at age 5! I have no doubt whatsoever that
OP is not quite right in her head and neither are any of yoose
disingenuous me-too'ers offering your phoney baloney congratulations...
for what, being an imbecile. You bottom of the barrel douche bag, what
would you know about reading anyway, Matthews, you functionally
illiterate *******... who doesn't know not to capitalize "This".

For someone who supposedly read(s) so much, your command of the written
language is atrocious. You don't even seem able to properly place a question
mark at the end of a sentence that is a question FFS! Face it Shelly-welly,
you're not only a foul, uncouth boor with all the social skills of raw,
untreated sewage, you're an uneducated one to boot.

That's no question, it's OBVIOUSLY a *statement*, you shit for brains

And if you weren't such an immature pish arsed newbie you'd know I

Bwahahaha...

Shecky write a question and doesn't even know it. Punctuates like Batman
comics with ellipses, incorrectly, of course.

Must be from all that highly literary comic book reading. Bad enough he
can't seem to read what others write. Now it looks like he can't even
read what he writes.

"That's no question, it's OBVIOUSLY a *statement*, you shit for brains
ARSE... you truly epitomize illiteracy."

Maybe 'obviously' to an ignorant, dumb-****er like you, Shelly. To everyone
and anyone with a lknowledge of the language, the words '...what would you
know about reading anyway...' if quite plainly a question ',;~}~

"And if you weren't such an immature pish arsed newbie you'd know I
don't use question marks.."

Because you don't know when they're appropriate in the English language,
because basically you are stupid.

I'm very happy I could clear that up for you. Now, I'm sure there are adult
literacy courses nearby to you, probably even free ones so you could afford
to go. I strongly suggest to enrol on one. While you're at it you should
enrol in charm school too. Also, if your local Wal-Mart is doing a special
on personalities, best get yourself a few of those too.

G'bye now!

Oh dear!!!! I capitalized a word that I shound not have.
Sheldon I will compare my education with yours any day. I hold a
Masters of Science in Ed and many more hours of work after that. You
really should check your own posts to make sure you are correct in
every way. You really should not post expressions or language here
that you would not want your grandchildren to read. But, have a nice
day and try to enjoy life. I am sorry that you don't seem to.
Once again, I will not lower myself to your level of name calling. I
imagine your mother was a fine woman, who conceived no illigitimate
children.

Which written language is that?

Your comma is superfluous. Do you stutter or are you naturally slow.

Your command of the _English_ language is atrocious. You are obviously
uneducated. Shawn Arse, you are one dumb *******. You are a blemish
on your ethnicity. In English you languish.

Are you bragging or complaining.

Then you would realize you omitted a comma after my name. You probably
teach 3rd grade... comfortable in your own element.

I'm not impressed.

Professional educators are the least educated... also indicates one is
so stupid they couldn't figure out what to be when they grew up, and
too frightened to address the issue... so they never left academia...
no common sense low IQ son of a bitch.

Those who can do.
Those who can't, manage
Those who can't manage teach.

How cute!
Sheldon, you are making a fool of yourself. Most of us don't pay too
much attention to the use of commas when posting. You will notice
that I do not resort to vulgar language or obscenities. I have taught
every science course offered in New York State schools. I hold
certification in Biology, Regents Earth Science, Physics and
Chemistry. That is why I notice the mistakes you make when discussing
anything dealing with science...Horsepower and electricity for
example.
Try to have a good day. Take your meds. Enjoy life. Please restrain
yourself frrom using obscene or vulgar language so much.

Imagine, all that education and you still can't trim posts. -aem

Yet IMO Sheldon's post are generally far more interesting (not to say
entertaining) than yours...and he doesn't have to flaunt his CV all over the
place either.
