New forum based on history and just a little gaming

During the last session of our teaching workshop, participants were asked to state their personal goals for the immediate future.  One teacher vowed to update photo albums, another to lose weight.  The goal that got the most response, however, was given by a slightly out-of-shape kindergarten teacher.  “I resolve to exercise until I can complete a 20-minute workout in less than an hour.”

pigeon or not, its finger-lickin’ good!

I’ve been reading Alex Scarrow’s “TimeRiders” series lately and have really been enjoying it.

I think that the system should stay the way it is. The states should ask for assistance. If they don’t it’s their fault, not the federal government. We do not need to have more bureacracy. Personally, I believe it was the Louisiana’s fault the situation wasn’t handled properly along with FEMA. It would be a violation of states’ rights to use Bush’s plan imo.

We’re supposed to get hit hard again next week here in Ohio! Hope they are wrong. My back is still tired from the last mess.

This year saw various “celebrations” of the 70th anniversary of the “Dam Busters” raid. I have a problem with this, since it was in effect an act of terrorism, which killed about 1600 civliians and had minimal effect on German industry. It’s rather like the German government celebrating the anniversary of the bombing of Rotterdam. Still, more people are offended by the fact that the commander called his dog “nigger” than the destruction of human life. Don’t worry, though, as in the new film version the dog is renamed “digger”. So that’s all right, then.

post this in variants, this kind of post don’t belong here. thanks
