OK so my Firsties Ponder.....

What can you do to help out once you realize that your daughter is going to be smarter than you?

I as this because we had a very wet and dreary weekend and to pass the time my Daughter decided taht she wanted to do multiplication problems. Cool and all that she wanted to study and such but.......

SHE IS NOT LEARNING THIS IN SCHOOL YET!

She is in teh second grade and they are doing addition and subtraction. She just wanted to do it and she was doing it right! She even explained how she did it to me!!! 0.o

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

...buy her an Easy Bake Oven (tm) and send her to the kitchen with a doll strapped to her back. That'll teach her...!

Oh. Wait. You mean in this century? Er. Yeah. Books are cool, I guess. Oughtn't there also be educational computer software that could help keep her mathematically occupied? I still have my calculus and differential equations books, if you'd like to borrow them. Also, don't be hesitant to tell her "Daddy is just a boy and doesn't understand Teh Mathz, Sweetie." It's very important to know and admit to your limitations. XD

KELKHIL

Monday, October 27, 2008 4:46 PM

Well maybe I coudl just ship her off somewhere (maybe Minnesota) to live with smarter people (A certain girl Engineer) to learn all theze Mathz.

Hey if I can time it right maybe this will happen at about the "dating" phase so I can skip that as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is let her learn ... and remind her that she has to be patient with people who won't get things as easily. Also, be really careful about letting her skip a grade. It really makes things odd later when you can't get a drivers license til your senior year and you're in college so early no guy will date you 'cause you're jailbait...

Anyway I have to dash.. busy day

btw the title of the thread is going to make this seem like a loooooooong week.

I think this week is either going to go very fast or very slow for me, we shall see. We've got two big parties to go to on Friday (though we're only actually RSVP'd for one) and I'm crazy excited about our costumes, so it should be fun. Just have to make it there. :P

Hubby took Wed-Fri off last week, so we had a nice huge 5 day weekend, heh. So I do think this week will either crawl by because he isn't here at home anymore, or fly by because the day is broken up into smaller chunks. We shall see.

i was a big fan of The Tick (cartoon not the live action piece of shit they made with patrick warburton) XD cuz he was hilarious, but then they discontinued it :'( *cries* i also watched X-Men a lot, and Spiderman, also watched Batman Beyond for a while. my brother introduced me to Beavis and Butthead and Ren and Stimpy XD
Angry Beavers was a good sunday cartoon :P dagget and norbert are about as nuts as the oddparents--that was towards the end of the good cartoon era, right before the new shows started coming out ><

sadly, pretty much all of these shows are gone, though they started showing beavis and butthead on comedy central again a little while ago XD

I've since ceased watching cartoons and turned to other shows ><

Back for a bit. After running a kid to Reno I had to run back to town to switch out vehicles. One of our kids sheared off the top of her finger and sliced another while in shop class. For some dumb reason the hospital is unable to do something (not sure what) and she needs to be transported to Reno.

This is Joes loss of faith in local healthcare.

On the brighter side I'm back over to the "Tribal" haunted house to complete more decoration. Seems Our department is the only one to put in any work thus far.

Oh, and my dumb sister isn't coming back this weekend which leaves me further pissed because I wanted to take the kids to the Nevada Day parade in Carson City and celebrate my nephews birthday.

Might just kick somebody today.

That sucks NVG. Sounds like you need to find some time to visit the breakables room. Hope they can help the girl with the sliced fingers.

NVGHOSTRIDER

Tuesday, October 28, 2008 8:44 PM

It was actually lucky on her part. The top of her middle finger was sheared off from knuckle #2 to the end of her finger exposing bone and her ring finger has a slice down the middle that was sewed up. She may never grow back the nail on the midle finger but at least she has a finger to not have a nail on.

Does suck because she was actually getting a little more into her girly stage and the whole lack of nail thing might F with her a bit.

GORRAMGROUPIE

Tuesday, October 28, 2008 9:06 PM

Nah, that just makes her more accessible, cuz guys don't really look at hands, and then they'll be like, "cool, she isn't a totally girlie girl", or maybe I'm just weird.

Though I agree I don't know many guys concerned with a girl's fingernails. Heck it would probably be more of a problem if it was a toenail since some guys are apparently very into toes.

So, yeah not a big worry on the guy front with the fingernail thing. At least not the weird guys.

ZEEK

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 6:09 PM

oh oh I actually have a decent one that sorta fits the imponderable theme.

Why do women hate on each other so much?

I'm a poker fan and I watch the big televised events. This one lady does pretty well and gets on tv a lot. A bunch of people are ripping on her saying she plays poorly and acts like a jerk, but it seems women are going above and beyond against her. To me all of it is a double standard. Plenty of the guys in the tournament played as badly or worse. Plenty of the guys were bigger jerks than she was. You could almost justify some of the hatred saying that women wanted her to represent them better, but it's not just this. It's all over the place where women hate on other women who are in the spotlight. What's with that?

NVGHOSTRIDER

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 6:32 PM

Competition for a mate naturally.

As seen in nature the male seems to have the bright colors or extra attachments (antlers and the like) to signify their status.

That and they fight, or dance. Wierd them mens.

Anyhoo I had it explained to me this way. I hope not too much offense is taken as I mean not to offend.

Women lie. Not all of them but some of them. They do this because they are less physically powerful than a man. A man can beat your skull his fist much easier than a woman. But a woman will rely on cunning quicker than a man. A woman may lie to keep food in her cache, to persuade a possible mate that she is a better mate than the one available, and to keep from being physically harmed. It was developed over time and has been modified according to the changing times. It is why the female of the species is much more attractive than the male. It is why the male looks at the revealing and painted type more often.

But there is the ruse. Again the female has used cunning to attain her goal.

SO that is it. A defense mechanism. I'm just sore that the male is no longer the pretty one, I am unable to bear children, and the female is still the smarter of the species.

Damn. Think I just lost Dude Points for that one.

ZEEK

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 7:01 PM

Yep negative dude points. You really want the ability to bear children? It sounds awful to me. I'm glad we drew the long straw on that one personally.

So, deep down women hate other successful women because they're worried that she is more desirable? How come guys aren't the same? It seems like success is even more closely tied to what kind of mate a man can pull in than it is for women. I mean to some extent guys can be jealous and rip on other successful guys but for the most part it seems like we idolize them rather than try to tear them down. See: sports stars, successful business men, etc.

NVGHOSTRIDER

Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:27 PM

That's because we emulate what we would rather be. If we see a more successful male we might try using those observations to better ourselves.

Once again not Friday. What a cruel calendar.

Don't know about the 6-9PM class. I had a class that went past 6PM and it was sorta annoying. I lived off campus at the time and the bus stopped running at 5:30. I didn't have a parking permit to park on campus so I just had to park illegally those nights. It really depends on how much you want to take the class I guess.

Unfortunately most of y'all won't have a holiday tomorrow. We are lucky enough to have Friday off for Nevada Day and Halloween which is the coolest thing ever, Saturday is the celebratory parade, Sunday is up in the air (kinda), and we're thinking of taking Monday off.

ok mini-quick ponder-poll I'm curious as to which states have a censored title to the Zack and Miri make a porno movie. In TX the title is just Zack and Miri and I was making fun of how dumb it was that they truncated the title while I was up in IN last weekend. However, there the commercials still call the movie Zack and Miri make a porno. So, apparently the title is only shortened in certain markets. So, if you've seen the commercials and paid attention to what they're calling the movie I say post your state and whether or not it's got the short title.

So far I know:
TX - short title
IN - full title

MSB

Thursday, October 30, 2008 4:53 PM

Hmm Zeek I'd say it's because women have been trained to view themselves as in competition with other women and because they have learned to measure themselves in terms of attractiveness, skils, etc against other women.. which explains a lot abotu why women have such negative self image. There's always going to be someone prettier, better at stuff, and more of this or that... try reaching for your best not someone else's just doesn't seem to resonate with most women

FLT.... I took a couple of late classes. I had a hard time staying with it, but the classes were very worth it and I am glad I did it

I'll look and let you know Zeek

Ok soooooo looking forward to tomorrow!!

Last night was the haunted house. The kids and NV did a fantastic job and I know their room was the best one in the whole haunted house..

Whoa, oops. Totally forgot my anniversary yesterday, lol. Seven years together. The wedding anniversary totally overshadows this anniversary anyhow, so we don't usually pay much attention to this anniversary. But we did spend the evening together -- cooked dinner, watched House, played WoW, played Rock Band -- which is pretty much what we would have done if we'd remembered anyhow.

It's still not Friday, but that's not such a bad thing, since I decided to start taking apart the pants I made for hubby's costume to put pockets into them. Hopefully I can get them done in time.

Lol Zeek, I think I've mentioned them to you before. They're both gamers and Browncoats and anime geeks and such. One is 21 and the other is 18 (and a CS major, looking to become a video game programmer professionally). But they're both in Utah attending BYU, and determined to marry good Mormon boys, so so far I haven't been able to fix them up with any of my friends.

Oh, and my guild ran KZ last night for the special Halloween boss, and I got this: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39769 for my warrior (who happens to be named after one of the BDHs). It's pretty badass, even if the effect does turn my character into a guy lol.

In all honesty I think I'm too selfish. I like spending my time however I want. As soon as I have to accommodate others I get more cranky.

For instance my trip back to college for homecoming left me on edge cause I wanted to get back home. It was only 3 days and I was like "omg I want my routine back!". A girl is really going to have to sweep me off my feet to find a place in my life.

My husband and I are both pretty selfish people, honestly, and have strong opinions and quick tempers to boot. But I think when you find someone you really care about, you want them to be happy at least as much as you want yourself to be happy, so if you're both selfish it works out. As long as you always keep the good of your SO in mind and always want them to be happy, I think it works quite well.

Another thing that I've told my sisters and some of my girl friends who have just started dating is that when you're getting into a relationship that you think has long term potential, take a good look at how the guy was living just before you started dating. All relationships go through a courting phase, but after that I think most guys are most comfortable if they're allowed to go back to their normal routine, even now that their lives have changed.

So when I first started dating my husband 7 years ago, he was staying up late every night playing Diablo and had a very low maintenance life with very few possessions. So when things started settling in for us, I wasn't offended when he didn't want to watch movies or go out to dinner every night. Some nights we play video games together, some nights he plays and I knit. I also knew that having some material possessions is important to me (weird psychological thing for me), so I've gone out of my way to make sure that he's involved in all the big purchases, and that the stuff we get is either low maintenance or something I can take care of myself. When I first met him he didn't even have a DVD player, but now we have a pretty high tech home theater set up -- that I researched, picked out, set up, and maintain all on my own. The joke is that he doesn't even know which remote to use for what. And he spoils me rotten in all sorts of ways, so it works. /Shrug

Good words of wisdom there CK. I'll have to give that advice to some of my friends who are in relationships now.

Hey y'all!

Just a quick fly-by. Zeek was awesome enough to come looking for me. Warmed the cockles of my go-go girl costumed heart. ;) (BTW, thanks for the computer link..I'll keep my eye out. I think I've decided that I'm going to get a laptop and a satellite card. That should be all I need. I would have internet AND TV (because you know...most shows are online these days) AND my computer. I'm still in planning stages, but I think that's where I'm heading.)

Anyway, I haven't been around much because work is CRAZY busy. My four employee dept was down to two, then back up to three and now back down to two. It will go down to one (me) in just a bit. That means MUCH work for me and little internet time. I think of you all often and hope everyone is doing well. I'll be back once things chill at work. *crosses fingers that it is soon.

Okay...back to work....sigh.

On Zeek's earlier ponder: There's a quote from a cheesy movie. I'll paraphrase here: 'When guys compete, it's overt. When girls compete, it's art.' Being nasty is just one way we compete with each other. Some women can be nasty without you even catching on. They're the really good competitors. ;)

Our whole dept is go-go girls or hippies. My dress is a little more 'scooby-doo' than I would like. The colors aren't quite what they were online. :( But oh well. Just call me Daphne for the day. :D

LOL thanks for the tip Zeek... sadly it's not working for me to change my profile. I've tried several times to change it, but every time I press save it re-routes me to the main board and doesn't save.

Happy Monday everyone. Hope you guys all had a good Halloween (MsB and NVG I know you guys did ). I managed to make it through without a single piece of candy, but that felt seriously weird. I treated myself to some homemade cookie dough over the weekend to make up for it, but it's still not the same. Sigh. At least we're in the home stretch to Thanksgiving now.

In other news, my costume came out well, got lots of comments at the party etc. People were taking pictures at the party and posted them to Facebook, of course. I'm actually pretty happy with the pictures I've seen, but my dad saw the costume and apparently freaked out a bit -- "I can't believe you didn't even wear a body suit underneath!!" Lol.

Links, please. ;)

My big weekend news? I've actually entered the 1990's and have bought myself a home computer. :D I blame Zeek because he put it back in my mind. I went to do a little browsing and walked away with a 4G RAM, 320G Harddrive, Intel Pentium T3200 Processor, Wireless G/N card laptop. Eek. I'm pretty nervous that I bought a piece of crap, but I suppose them's the breaks if I did. I did get a printer/scanner/fax, router and anti-virus stuff for free...but even still...Eek.
