Nooo, but apparently you have.
Nor do I. The girls got in in the fifth grade, boys in sixth as I recall.
Some of us were trying to stand on each others shoulders to see into the auditorium windows.
I like that. Thanks for the suggestion.
So sad. One more person to be remembered.
Are we still answering the where do you live question? I’m two miles north of downtown. This last weekend, friends and family came over and replaced the siding on the front of my house. This is The Last Wall. We’ve been doing one wall a year and this finishes the job.
I now have insulation in all of my walls. I now also have all modern windows, as opposed to wooden ones with counterweights in the walls. You know, the kind that always have a draft coming through them. I expect my utility bills will drop a little. I’m looking forward to it.
This year instead of making the windows smaller, we used all the room that the counterweights and sills took up and made the front windows bigger. It makes the room a lot brighter. Of course, now I need to get drapes.
Sixteen year old granddaughter got to use power tools for the first time. She also got to go up in the scissor lift to paint and caulk. Was nervous at first but ended up comfortable enough to use the up/down controls.
Still work to do, but the conversion is complete. Wheee!
In my elementary school, the three sixth grade classrooms were on the second floor. I think the boys had an extra round of shop while we girls sat thru the gawd-awfulest-ly acted docudrama about menstruation that was ever created. The gist of it was that 12-yo Suzie couldn’t have that pretty red dress for the party because it was too grown up for her. Then at the end of the film "Mom! Mom! Guess what? " “What, darling?” the Mom replied knowingly “I can wear the red dress now!” “I know, dear.”
I am trying to recall the title of a biography where a Saudi girl was taken to buy her burka by her sisters when she reached menarche.
Did they show you guys any of the driver education films?
They were about twenty years old, and ended in horrible wrecks with slabs of meat strewn about the road. One of the girls in the auditorium, upon seeing the drunk driver staggering out of his car, cried out, “Daddy!”
When I was in Governor’s School at Salem College one of the In-Charge folks told us on the first day “There are six goldfish in the koi pond. There had better still be six goldfish at the end of the session.”
I has a sad about herbs.
RIP, herbs.
BigKitty you went to skool to be a goobenor? I always thought goobenors crawled out from under rocks.
Dindin has been ingested. ‘Twas good and there’s leftovers for both our N.O.L.s tomorrow. OYKW is preparin’ himself to take a soak in the tub. All is well. Oh and maybe it will rain.
No, this was an artsy-fartsy thing. I wouldn’t lower myself to dabble in politics.
I think Satan might be impressed with this concept.
Nothing wrong with the Stouffer’s people, IMO. They make some easy and tasty meals for the tired worker/student. Have you tried the Cheesy Garlic Lasagna? (Only available in the “family size”, darn it.) Very good stuff.
I had my trust changed today to take my nieces out of it.
They will still inherit if Sah-son predeceases me without issue.
However, now I don’t need their signatures to get it notarized.
Me too.
Sari. You will be around a long long time yet but it’s good to be prepared. When is surgery?
I hope I will be anyway, but I do want to have everything in order.
Not that I have anything to leave lol.
It’s been moved to June 17.
I am dreading it, but I am also hoping it will ease the back pain and the feeling that I have a boulder in my belly.
We probably watched the same film. Sister Claude, who sat behind Moses in the third grade, came in to make sure that Sister Francis (a very young nun that all of the boys had a crush on) didn’t explain too much. My friends who went to public elementary school got the same film, IIRC, provided by Kotex.
Yep, “Signal 30” was the series they showed us. At age 17, it made me think about being careful about my driving for at least 40 minutes…
And not to surprising, if you’re into death, some of them are on You Tube… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VKOoenqbOk
You made that up, didn’t you? :D:cool:
AIR the closest I came to sex ed. in public skool was the p.e. coach in the eighth grade tellin’ all the boys how to avoid jock itch. Soap, water, and thoroughly dryin’ off played a big part.
And on that note, 'tis time to go cuddle upon the bed and watch teevee until sleepy time.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
No, by G-d, she told me about it at church.
:dubious:
Ah yes, I remember watching The Film and then all us girls getting our very own wrapped up Kotex pad. :rolleyes:
So guys, I’ve been wondering for years: what film did you have to watch when they herded all of us girls out of the room? Was it about sports? I bet it was about sports.
