Daze Of Future Chat

When Mia and Kieran both hit grade six, I bought them their own laptops as it was required for them to meet the mandates given to them by the school system. That is the learning tools of today and to be honest with all, I have no issue with that.

I can remember spending hours upon useless hours researching at the library and running all over town to get a book to do a project with, total crap. They are fortunate to be in a time when information is available to them. I wish it had of been for me when I was in University.

 

Yes, even in Grade One, there was a "technology" course in the curriculum.

 

Heat, I'm so glad you are feeling better and able to be here...

 

Thanks Aeri. My strength is slowly coming back and I am thankful for that. Nice to be among the living again.

 

as if it is normal?

you may want to rephrase that.....if you are saying it isn't normal the opposite is abnormal

those are my sisters you are talking about

you sound kinda disappointed that some people spend money on their kids

shouldn't you be happy for the single mom who works to get her kid a half decent tablet?

I would buy an ipad for junior in a second if I thought it would last even 6 months without being stolen or broken


also...we did this kinda a few years ago and it was me who was saying ipads are for the rich...lol....not anymore.....I think I gave jasper a hard time for telling me how easy her ipad was to use...lol

 

bell Canada has been trying to sell me an ipad for 25 a month onto my phonebill for 2 years...i'm saving it in case this laptop dies

 

I completely demoralized my female opponent at the pool comp. I came to table twice and sunk hard cuts, her confidence was done. So I pressed on in round two, came from behind and won that then lost the semi final. Played good. Practicing best I have been.

 

And I love to beat morons with their little snooker glove. Like what's wrong with your own skin you need a silly pathetic glove.

 

Yup that was me rolling....

:daisy:

 

a kid using a tablet fell into a lake here and drown

 

sorry jasper....now I can afford one so you are off the hook for my poverty....



and tablets shouldn't be a replacement for books but even more important is they are poor flotation devices

 

I agree that books and learning to research are still important and that is what they did do before access was there. They are both now in science streams in University so they also have to out source information but the ability to organize it quickly is also important. I do have to confess they also both have tablets that they use in lectures and class as carrying a laptop back and forth was insane as they also carry about 70 lbs of text books daily.

Mia is down with a cold and miserable. She is wearing a mask so hopefully it helps contain the germs until she is not contagious. I have done the toddy, homemade soup from the freezer and now chicken and dumplings are cooking for dinner. It is funny how when sick the kids revert back to childhood feel good things.

 

You have some lucky kids heat!

 

Yesterday I went with my mom to this fancy new vip movie theatre that opened recently. It was awesome! There is a bar outside the theatre where you can order drink before the movie starts. And once you are seated in your awesome plush recliner seat later, there are waiters that come and take your meal or snack orders. So while I watched a movie I sipped on a caesar, munched on some deep fried pickles (my favourite!) And then later had a burger!

It was a pricy evening but well worth it.

 

OHHH I don't feel very well. =[
Think it was no food for a whole day, then three pints and then finally, food. Think the food sat on top so I went to bed and now I wake up and I feel really really dehydrated. I've just had an electrolyte icy pole, very weird taste takes some getting used to.

I got to get up and moving in a hour or so, got myself a bag of weed to pick up in the late hours.

 

That's worth getting moving for...

 

bbq steak always turns out rare in this weather because i get too cold and give up early

damn it was good....soaked it all day in italian dressing to soften it up more before cooking

 

My grill is down for the season...

 

Thank you and maybe it is mutual as I feel so blessed to have them.

 

Irm, water is better for you if you are dehydrating. Even ice is better to just suck on.

Hope you start to feel better soon.
