Need Some Mylot Therapy.........

were those for me/on me???i am not as good as you are in english...i really want some fictional inspirational piece of writing...

The school I worked for used Gardner's multiple intelligence and lemme tell ya, those kids LEARN! Gardner himself has come to the school to speak. Sigh. I miss that place...

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences revolutionized the teaching profession. In a nutshell he posited that the brain remembers information as it naturally relates to seven...now eight different human capacities. You know what they are, so I won't waste time listing them. I call them talents..........those things we are naturally good at because our brain easily assimilates and processes information through them, as if through filters. Most people say they can't remember things unless they are written down for example. The visual component... When I was younger that wasn't as true as it is now. But my audio 'memory' was and remains excellent. I could go on, but I think you get the gist and I thank you for bringing this subject to my attention. I've always found it fascinating!

What I think is so cool about it is that they have actually pinpointed the parts of the brain that are responsible for memory through these different learning styles. Thank you, becuase it is not often I meet someone who knows about these things that are not my professors. Have a wonderful day!!

BTW... I am still ranked #2 in "messing with your mind" even though I am never here to mess

ummm...good guess but that is ONLINE and about all I do when I am on line so what off line activity has me busy...Hmmm...

And I've dropped to 13 and it's my damn category and I'm the only one I know that starts discussions in it! Go figure. As to what has you enthralled, I'll guess it's your new Sorority Sisters game on Tagged............

Well I guess when you get your new house the bedroom is going to have to be big enough for a king size bed and your other things. We must work on you getting to spend time with your children. Hummm, I have no phone numbers for them ...I guess we need to save money for you to go for a visit. The little dog would be a nice thing. Depending on if Spunky is okay with it and I think she would be. For hugging everyone, well we know how that feels we all want to do that. SO we just let them know and they "feel" it. Yes, you certainly sent us the rain storms and winds. lol ((((HUGS))))

1. Lately I've spent time with hubs. He went back to work today. 2. For fun, for just me, I'd like to spend time with my kids. 3. I wish I had more time to spend with those I love. 4. I wish that I could reach through my computer screen and hug everyone I care about that I only get to meet through my laptop. 5. I wish I had a small dog and I wish I had a big bed I could get lost in when the hubs is home. lol 6. Yes you've given me enough to think about! ROFL 7. Yes the weather has calmed down here because I sent it all to you! lol I love you too!

3.60555128*3.60555128*3.60555128*3.60555128 I will NEVER forget the square root of 13 now! LOL

Those numbers will haunt you in your sleep!

Go now and don't miss the wedding!

Hopefully your boss is not a jerk and you can find a quiet moment to speak to them privately and explain that your committment to the wedding pre-dates your enrollment in the class you must take, and ask politely if it would be possible to either take that day off so you can attend this important family function, and make it up in some other way. In situations like this, it's always best to go to the boss and it's imperative to be firm but polite (you have rights you know!) and give them the option of working the problem out with your full co-operation. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Start the class and ask the teacher at the first class for the day off. My professor in my last class gave me the class off because of a wedding we had to attend. Some professors/instructors are nice and bend the rules, especially if you are a good student. Good luck with both. Namaste-Anora

Personally I prefer the Marquis of Queensbury rules, but that's just me. LLOL

Hi Arkaf61, I know you intend to make our Sparks think this out, but I suggest you contact someone in animal control to come out and eradicate the pests who are destroying your house, (your property!) I know that most government agencies right now are crying the blues for a lack of funding but these local agencies are supposed to be in place for such problems. Once the vermin are removed you must hire a contractor to seal your house shut so they don't get back in again. Sealing the house might cost more than $400.00 depending on the damage already done, but if you don't get rid of the pests you could end up with those rascals inside your house as drywall or other interior wall products are much easier to get through as opposed to most exterior wall construction. Do it soon, as the sooner the better.

Well that's who I called at first. City Hall used to have a service where they would take care of that. Unfortunately that doesn't exist anymore. They tell us to deal with the problem ourselves - but we can't injure the animal - mostly they probably stuck a deal with the pest removal companies. In any case, I really don't want to keep paying $400 for a solution that doesn't work. To make matters worse, my house is one of 3 in a row! This is really bothering me grrrrr

Two virgins and four cats will get you 3 dozen eggs in China. But if you want to use money it's about $3.00 a dozen.

I knew you'd have an answer, lol. u HAVE A GOOD DAY. Glad u are feeling better.

My screen name was given to me by Bellaofchaos. I'd gotten myself banned and she and I were brainstorming one day, after I decided to come back and knowing me as well as she did by then, she came up with sparkofinsanity........just spark of, so I would remember to keep my temper under control! LOL As for your biscuits, I found this: "First off, if you’re using the basic homemade biscuit recipe; flour, baking powder, oil, and milk. Then you should start by putting in 3/4 more milk than oil. The oil tends to make the biscuits drier, but the milk will make your homemade biscuit recipe, lighter. For instance if your homemade biscuit recipe was 1/3 cup oil, and 2/3 cup milk, then you should change your biscuit recipe to 1/4 cup oil and 3/4 cup milk. Also if you want a real light and fluffy biscuit recipe be sure you aren’t using a heavy coarse flour like rye, or whole wheat flour. These tend to “drag” the biscuits down and make them heavier. Another good tip for a good fluffy biscuit recipe, is to add herbs to the biscuit dough before you bake them. Basil is an excellent herb to add, especially when you also add a few teaspoons of Parmesan cheese too. Other herbs that make for good biscuit add-ins are fresh chives or green onions." I'm not the baker in our family, and the hubs isn't home, so I had to look it up. But with everything I read, it seems to me you might be using too much baking powder. I hope this helps. I couldn't find anything that said altitude in Minnesota would affect the rise of baked goods. Could also be uneven heat distribution in your oven if it's an old one. My gran used to say you always knew when it was time to get a new oven, when the biscuits turned out wrong. lol

Sparks- I love how you got that name, it makes even more special and precious! It does suit you for certain. Thank you for sharing! Thanks for the advice on the biscuits. I've written down what you've shared and will be transfering it to my cookbook. I'm using the old Betty Crocker cookbook. As far as the oven, I've complained several times to my landlord and they refuse to fix it, or the dishwasher! It's really annoying. Thanks again hun. Namaste-Anora
