COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Since it seems so lonely in here, I thought that I would occupy myself for a while.

And does this mean that we need to add it to the list of what we feed our torts (along with the bean substrate of course) that is if there ever is enough left over after I have had my taste test - because I believe that for this one you have to make sure that there is no poison in there before you feed it. Obviously!! DUH.

Looks around to see if anybody is seeing me post this (Plausible deniability (can't remember how to spell this) if you did not see me. Hee Hee Hee)

Good evening Lyn. How is Lola today?

Good evening Lyn. How is Lola today?

Hi Linda, Lola still isn't right but he was out of his hide again this morrning and ate a good portion of weeds with Critical Care formula after his soak.
He didn't eat a lot during the day but this evening after a short bask in the sun and another soak he ate some more - but mainly hand fed.
Hopefully tomorrow's scan will throw more light on whats going on.
Thanks for asking.

This is what my husband sent back.
Haven’t heard a word from her and my son says she acts like nothing happened . I asked him if they talked.
There’s 4 weeks of school left and he moved on to high school.

Dear Ms. Hoffman,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the below mentioned situation. I want to say that while we are very surprised to hear that Connor had cheated on this test, we understand and support your actions today. We are certain you are disappointed.

We discussed it at length with him and I wanted to relay Connor's words.

He immediately confirmed that he started the test early, but he truley feels that he did not cheat, for the following reasons:
Connor states:
He did not have a pen/pencil/paper out during the test review.
Other kids can confirm this.
He started the test on the first problem rather than going through the test and answer the test review questions first.
He was ready for the test, confident and only guilty of starting early.

In his 14 year old teenage heart (and14 year old brain), he believes that he didn’t cheat. You are his favorite teacher and he was completely demoralized and uncharacteristically emotional when he got home. Again, we understand and support your decisions and we believe in consequences too, we just felt it was important to share this with you.

Good letter.
It seems a bit harsh to call that cheating.
It will be interesting to see how she responds.

Hope you are feeling better Kathy

I am going to hit the hay early tonight. So good night, sleep tight and sweet dreams.

Goodnight Carol, sleep well.

Good evening all.

Another good weather day. Mostly walking sea cliffs and bird-watching with an agility test to get in a neolithic burial mound to finish

Oh wow that place is just beautiful, and the chapel is amazing given their limited resources.

Which month for JoesDad’s midriff?

How about June ?
That's when you get Midtummys Day

 

[Lyn W]

Oh dear hope she's not suffering too much and they can come up with a good plane to help her.

That should be 'plan' - unless she has to travel for treatment

Oh for cryin' out loud! Another two desert tortoises rescued today. That brings my total quarantine pen occupancy to 7 pens/7 tortoises!! I'm going to have to get busy and find homes for these guys. I have no more room at the inn.

 

[Lyn W]

I have to go to bed now so goodnight all.
Hope you all have a goof Friday.
Goodnight Yvonne thanks for your help on the health thread.

All caught up.

My husband should have been a lawyer! He amazes me with some of the stuff he comes up with!

It’s hard because you want to support the teacher and trust your kid at the same time.

He still has lost his privileges at home.

Shame, there is always a fine line between supporting your child and teaching them the right thing. For what it is worth, I think that he didn't do it deliberately, he just didn't think and realise that starting early is a no no. Although having said that it is not like he was getting the answers from anyhwere else other than what he had learned. And that is the point of the test isn't it. To see how much of the work they understood and retained.
