emilya: I cannot blame the institution of education. It has changed in the past 150 years. I know a few women (my friends parents) that are in late 80' and one just turned 93! I am impressed with the knowledge they have. I told the 89 yr. old a few months ago, how much I admired her knowledge of just about anything! She retorted, "It isn't me, it is due to the fact, we had better teachers then!" She is right.

And "No Child Left Behind" and passe some idiots that may be in the 'Freshman' class, you are speaking of!

72' HDTV, did you catch the Baseball game tonight? Was pretty good.

My answer to "Be home at nine!" DVR and watch the programs when I can push it into my schedule!

I do understand what you are saying though! Our schools are over-crowded and parents are both working, some, even 2 jobs and it is tuff! pr
