Our zero period starts at 6:20. You can't take the bus for that. You need
to drive or get a ride. They start the school early because so many kids
have jobs or other after school activities.

I've never seen such a thing in the stores here - but I generally

Dispose of? I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you'd waste

Thank you. She was a little 2 pounder, just plate size. I ended up
baking it in foil, with some lemon, garlic and a little chili. I also
cooked some leeks in butter to go with it. It was my fourth visit to
this dam and I finally caught a fish instead of eels there The main
river is a lot more reliable, which also has salmon thanks to the fish
farm upstream.

I also fish at the fish farm when I feel lazy or just want a fish
ASAP. I'm allowed to fish the settlement ponds at the fish farm, which
is full of salmon and rainbow trout... but it's almost akin to
shooting fish in a barrel. Some of the fish are massive - 30 or 40
pounds, but the smaller ones are better tasting.

Yes. The schedule is insane! Now I know why so many dancers drop out by
high school. They just haven't got enough time what with the ever
increasing homework load. And some of it makes no sense. Submitting family
photos, drawing people, and it's not even an art class! She doesn't have
any zero period classes. I think those are the music classes. At least
they do get out early and earlier still on Wed. I rather wish they wouldn't
do that but I guess it is supposed to help the teachers to catch up.

And we're talking about scrambled eggs here.
I usually add just a tiny bit of milk. Why? My mom always did that. I
don't notice a difference between that and just eggs.

And Dave makes them different than me too. When I cook them, I
constantly stir them as they cook. I scramble them raw then I continue
to scramble them as they cook. And as he said, you take them off and
plate them before they are totally cooked. They set up a bit more on
the plate.

I don't exactly stir. I run the pancake turner through them as they cook.
I cook them pretty well.

Yeah, that "colors" thing was pretty stupid. It does make sense to wear
shades that compliment your hair and complexion but calling someone a
Spring or a Fall was just silly.

I had a complimentary makeover done at Merle Norman around 1983. Mom
went with me. The woman layered my eyelids with several shades of grey
eyeshadow and then applied yellow-ish shiny stuff up to the brow bones.
She really caked it on, too. I wiped it off. Mom and I were laughing
when we left. At least it was free!

My mom always added milk but I just add a splash of water, salt & pepper
and whisk them briskly with a fork. I do pretty much keep stirring them
in the pan while they're cooking. I like fluffy scrambled eggs, not
eggs that have practically set. Yes, they do keep cooking when you
remove them from the heat.

Nothing I've ever read about Fibromyalgia indicates the pain is less
during the day than at night. Fatigue is a symptom but I can't find a
single citation that says people with Fibromyalgia sleep better during
the day than at night. Naturally you are unique in that regard.

The term "Fibro Fog" does seem to explain why you don't remember or
later deny many of the things you post.

OB Food: I'll be making scrambled eggs with whole wheat toast for
breakfast later. I might even cook some bacon.

Bryan, the term "redneck" is dated to a coal miner vs. Pinkerton agents battle when the miners wore red neckerchiefs
around their necks so as to identify which side they were on. It does not refer to what some people think of as a
"farmer tan."

Those dancers are mostly dancer-wannbees and will never get a career
in it. One would think that responsible parents would make sure they
dropped out of the stupid dance classes rather than drop out of high
school. This can't be for real.

That makes some of the trashy cooking described on this NG seem decent
in comparison.

When I was very young, there was a girl who was nicknamed Boo Boo down the
road. We played comparative anatomy. I was a lucky little boy.

What rainy season are you talking about on the East Coast? No special
season that I'm aware of. All year long it rains some days or it
doesn't. Summer is afternoon thunderstorms. September-October is
hurricane season (but not lately). Winter is northeasters and spring
is still just rain some days and other days not.

Sorry. After I posted that I realized that you probably meant that
they dropped out of dance class, not HS. That's a good choice, imwo.

I only personally knew one very talented girl who benefited from those
dance lessons. But she was truly a good ballet dancer. Graceful and
fluid. AFTER she graduated HS she did go to NYC and she got some
secondary roles in some NYC Ballet productions. Did she become a star?
Nope.

Parents who think dance class is going to lead to some great career are
deluding themselves. Same thing with the ones who think if their boys
are good at HS football they'll go on to become professional athletes.
There are very few who make the grade.

Because of the homework.

Got a problem with homework? Take it up with the Board of Education. I
managed to get through school doing homework. But then I wasn't forced
to doing all these extracurricular activities. They weren't and should
not be a requirement. IMHO.

Geez Brian. You just *HAD* to toss in a little sex comment there, as
always. LOL

My ferret's official name is Mia but I call her Boo Boo....as in Yogi
and Boo Boo Bear.

My cat of 19 years was first named "Mushroom" by my daughter. I later
changed it (at the Vet) to Mr.Kitty. That said, in his 19.5 years
here, his nicknames changed often. He ended up with about 30-40
nicknames (seriously) and he knew and recognized them all. heheh

Good lord. Most girls just used mascara. Put it on in the morning,
wash it off at night. It doesn't doesn't take but a minute to curl your
eyelashes and apply mascara.

I remember what you're talking about. The girls who were considered
tramps at school used to wear glued-on eyelashes. Hmmmm.

yep.

The term characterized farmers having a red neck caused by sunburn from
hours working in the fields. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as
"poorer inhabitants of the rural districts...men who work in the field, as a
matter of course, generally have their skin stained red and burnt by the
sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks".[10]

By 1900, "rednecks" was in common use to designate the political factions
inside the Democratic Party comprising poor white farmers in the South.[11]
The same group was also often called the "wool hat boys" (for they opposed
the rich men, who wore expensive silk hats). A newspaper notice in
Mississippi in August 1891 called on rednecks to rally at the polls at the
upcoming primary election

-------------------------

The United Mine Workers of America (UMW) and rival miners' unions
appropriated both the term redneck and its literal manifestation, the red
bandana, in order to build multiracial unions of white, black, and immigrant
miners in the strike-ridden coalfields of northern and central Appalachia
between 1912 and 1936.

But that was the original. These days the term redneck has a different
meaning.

Nah, she didn't say that. She said they drop out of dance *by* high school
because there is so much homework in high school.

Lots of makeup really is *trashy* to me and I always preached to my
daughter as she was growing up that 'less is better'.

IMO, a pretty girl needs little or no makeup and makeup won't help an
ugly girl. Maybe just a bit of mascara and at most a natural looking
lip gloss. The popular bright red lipstick is so weird to me and an
immediate turnoff. High heals are also an immediate turnoff to me.

I went to a beautiful brand new high school which was already
too small within a year. We went to high school in shifts.
Naturally I got the early shift since I'm a slow waker-upper.

I wound up with easy classes first thing, like gym and typing.
Neither one of those was especially easy at 7:30am, either.

But overcrowding is probably the cause of early classes, I'm
sure the school would rather start at a more reasonable time
of day.

The last bell rings at 7:15am here. If they get there in time for breakfast,
they need to be there by 6:45am. I think it's ridiculous since there are no
shifts here.

I used to work with a lady who, for Halloween, would apply makeup to make
herself look ugly. Not Halloween ugly, but I actually took a while to
figure it out. Boy, she is just not very pretty at all . . .

Actually, as usual, we don't know what she said. " . . . rather than drop
out of high school." So, apparently she is wishing that the parents would
be more responsible and have them drop dancing rather than HS. But it is
all a bunch of goof with her anyway.

That's not right. Maybe that will change since it's in the
news that teenagers need more sleep. Duh to anyone who's ever
been a teenager. People do forget.

Bryan is an idiot.

Nancy, it *really* would help if you'd figure out how to quote with
whatever it is you're using to post. Half the time I don't know what
you're talking about.

You may cite this:

http://www.answers.com/Q/Where_did_t...k%27_come_from

However, in another usage:

"Originally, the term came from the later 1800's in southern Georgia and
Alabama to refer to sharecroppers who worked in the fields thus getting
a sunburned neck. They were called 'rednecks' as a term meant for hard
working people. Today, the term is used by comedians and commentators
to refer to people who are uneducated, close-minded and racist individuals."

Racist is a good word for it. Hardworking people is another word for it.
