Hugs, Hobbleit. You are safe now.
Go put your feet up and watch some tv. Have some chips (I think you call them crisps) and forget Newcastle exists.

Chocolate definitely works.
Well folks, with that, I am out for the evening. Have a good one. I will see you all tomorrow.
And I just got an email from Carson's teacher.

I feel like I'm in exile as I've been forced to spend every prep period working with students on testing and accomodations. Plus lunches as well...oh well the day will end soon and I can go work in the after school program and then hit the gym and go home...
*ponders what a nice 8 hour workday Monday- Friday would feel like
Nope still love to teach enough to put up with all this

Shouldn't we all be sending something to MSG, then? She is this thread's primary teacher.

Nice to know how much DTH and Emma (and any other teachers who post here) are appreciated by you FlyVote and others like you Fly.
I'm not laughing, it's not funny, and quite honestly, it's beyond insulting to everyone besides MsG who do this as a career and not a "job."
....
I see no humor in what I've read, and I've stated my opinions. I've seen better treatment of others here when they made it a point to insult others intentionally...but you know what? I'm tired of this.
MsG: I wouldn't know anymore. Only time I know I have any affect is when I have to enforce the "mean" rules or help end near-riots. My suggestion: never become the off-ratio teacher if you like the classroom.

Hey all! Just stoppin by to say hi, and to mention this:
Quote:I have now had the chance to see LotRO first hand. I'll give credit where credit is due and say that it looks at least as good as the other fantasy MMORPGs on the market, and perhaps better than most (I've never been an EQ fan, fwiw, and EQ2's graphics make me throw up in my mouth). But I still think it sucks big time.
Posted by me in an old Imponderables thread:Quote:I wouldn't worry too much about not being able to get LotRO right away, Nicodemus.

The graphics are technically well done, but I swear to god I want to go into every MMORPG studio in the world and steal all their gray paint. No more gray! It's like they said "hmm, cloudless blue sky, no no, make it a more washed out, I-don't-want-to-get-out-of-bed-this-morning blue, more gray." It's just depressing! Especially if you're used to WoW's vibrant colors:
World of Warcraft:
Lord of the Rings Online:
By far my biggest complaint, though, is the shameless pimping of the characters from the books. Hubby was checking LotRO out, and decided to create a Dwarf character. One of the very first quests he gets, he gets help from both Gimli and Gandalf! They set the damn game during the Fellowship's trek! What on earth are Gandalf and Gimli doing standing around helping newbies?!? Gah!
Oh, and when you install the game and start it up, it says "Click Friend and enter."
Did I mention that I'm sick of Turbine 
ing up the most iconic fantasy licenses out there? 
Sigh. So, how is everyone else today?
