You can tell school is out for spring break
Matthew wrote: "jmcquown" wrote in message ... wrote: "EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" wrote: Matthew wrote: crossposting spam and BS removed You can tell the little people are out on spring break ALREADY???? (Easter isn't until the 23rd, but I guess schools don't go by that, any more.) Spring break is earlier than Easter. Well, I guess it depends on when Easter comes, but spring break spans February through March. I'm aware of this because I visit my family in Florida and I try to avoid it. Joyce Some colleges let out for Spring Break last week. I don't have any idea when primary, middle & high schools get those breaks anymore; they used to correspond with Easter but Easter isn't a "constant". Frankly, I'm not sure why schools (other than colleges) even *have* spring and fall breaks. People in the U.S. always bitch about poor education but it seems schools are out more than they are in! Jill Here in Florida they did something very strange this year every college and university are off this week Maybe one day technology will advance enough to be like the matrix and they can download some intelligence into these "young people" That must wait until they invent COMPUTERS that possess intelligence! (If our civilization lasts that long!) Most laymen don't seem to realize that, however swiftly computers compute, and however many mathematical problems they solve swiftly, they don't really THINK! (Unfortunately, that seems to be true of a great many humans these days, too.) Our government may try to ignore "global warming", but its consequences are with us already, and many scientists are alarmed because it is progressing much, much faster than originally estimated. I begin to think my Mormon friends are correct in their belief that "Armageddon" is near, and that Mankind is bringing it down upon itself! |

That requires kids with too little supervision, too much time on their hands, and no incentive to play outdoors. Since when does there need to be incentive to play outdoors? All that is required is outdoors and someone with a slight imagination. Jo |

Rainy days were the boring ones, unless it wasn't storming badly, then we could put on our galoshes and rain slickers and go out and jump in puddles or build stick & mud dams by the curb. G As a teen, after school I'd meet my friends and we'd take long walks around the neighborhood and through the woods and fields that were around it. Okay, we weren't always "behaving ourselves", but we were outside getting exercise and fresh air Jill |

"jmcquown" wrote in message ... Matthew wrote: crossposting spam and BS removed You can tell the little people are out on spring break Yep. They need to be out playing in the snow, or shoveling the driveway... or (down here in the southern U.S.) enjoying the sunshine rather than trolling or spamming Jill We just did that, thanks to Amanda. She finally got some back pay from the VA and, since we'd been paying all her expenses, took us to Wilmington, NC. We had a great time, even Wamsee, who, was my bed cat since pets weren't allowed at the motel. We walked the beach and collected shells, visited the Battleship North Carolina (was on TAPS haunting on Sci-Fi network. only found a cold spot and the door to the bathroom stall didn't want to lock. I figure the reasons could be anything), the Fort Fisher Aquarium, and Fort Fisher the battle field. I took my computer, but, for some reason, the cyber-club kept giving us plug in your cable messages, so we gave it up. I didn't even bother to open mine up. The rest played their games late at night while I read. We needed the break, though I wish Mandy hadn't insisted on paying for it. Pam S. |
