Doesn't really matter how much discipline a kid gets. They can still do wrong. In fact, it's normal for kids that are overly disciplined too be the more rebellious and troublesome ones.....

I wonder if your kids never mentioning Gretchen is really because they have learnt to avoid the family drama, or they have been manipulated into being deceptive, or the kicker...they really are not all that accepting of Gretchen as you think. They might avoid talking about her because they maybe feel ashamed, that they now have a stepmother close in age to themselves, and hoped you would get the hint. Just a thought.

Sorry, I was so busy drafting a response MOD, i didn not realise you had deleted posts....Apologies

Why don't you learn to think outside the box, just a little bit!...It might prove useful.

so no, I dont have a FAT ####!

good lord, VJ is full of A$$wipes these days. what has happened to this forum?. This place used to be a mental challenge with real food for thought. who are these bitter, twisted individuals?

Umm, who doesn't sleep naked in the winter, all year round for that matter.. I dont own Pyjamas.and yes, I went there!

I got 95% and 91 % respectively.

I missed three that should of been in Part 1, got everyone that was in part 2 and got all the not in either part all right!

Firstly Gary, I feel bad for you. You have to keep stewing over the first words I wrote in this dang thread. You are still continuing to read way to much into it. Anyone that knows me from my nearly 8 years on this forum, knows, thats how I am, thats how I ask questions. It was not derogatory or rude, both of which you have been back to me.

If it makes you sleep better at night belittling others, and expressing the ludicrisy of their questions so be it. And I guess while you continue to insult me because you have nothing better to fight with, you are leaving some other person alone.

You have called me uneducated, and even suggested I had not finished high school. Really, is that the best you can do? And after asking some other educated people from my home country about proof reading in general, it was not the norm for them either when they got their degrees. Study sessions yes, proof reading work no. So I guess, things have changed over the years. and eucational methods and standards are different worldwide.

Then you have to "suggest" that I do not in fact speak English well myself, and also suggest that I only speak one language, or is that not about me?

And if you bothered to research my quote which has been on my signature for years, its not referencing academic education, so much as a womans role in educating her family and her children in life lessons and love.

I NEVER ONCE insulted your wife, or ridiculed her accomplishments. If you had bothered to read my replies properly, I had said that I had followed your wifes education updates over the years, and was in awe of her studiousness.

Thank you Captain Hammer, that totally makes sense. Thats all that I was trying to understand, I appreciate your response a great deal. I can relate also, as when trying to learn German, I ran into similar problems such as the articles you speak of.

And Why_Me, I understand the need to be defensive, I get that, but why must you tar someone with the same brush so to speak because of prior experience. Tread cautiously , maybe yes. But automatically get on the defensive because I have the same Union Jack in my flag as previous tormentors, is totally unnecessary.

I hope that some people on here have learnt to not judge a book by it's cover from now on, I was brought up to not do that, and hope that others are the same. Just because my avatar makes me seem like a stereotypical causcasian, blonde haired girl..does not mean I am one.

Gary, I did not infer anything in relation to Alla's ability to teach, my question was more focussed on why you in fact proof read for someone who planned to teach English. I just did not think that someone who was majoring in English or the study of it needed to be proofread..

I have in fact over the years read quite a few of your threads about her education, and in fact admired her tenaciousness and work ethic in relation to study. Stop reading so much into my original question. Like i said before, I was going to thank you for you explanation of that, until you got insulting towards me.

Your intelligence is now clouding your common sense.

You seem to take offence to the smallest of things, and simplest of questions. I tend to think that someone who will actually try to insult you one day, you won't take seriously, and be none the wiser.

And next time anyone wants ( I won't name, names here) to ask if I am in fact a troll, please ask me directly. Just because I do not post on here as much as I used too, does not mean that some topics do not peak my interest.

It is funny how that silly avatar, that was poking fun at my big butt and small waist, has turned into such a topic of interest.

All of you need to stop stereotyping based on an avatar,....

"Realise" ????? Should be "realize". "the norm" is an idiom and would not be acceptable in a university level essay. Fair enough?

So much for your Ghadi quote in your signature.

Wow!, did you really just go there with that!. I am Australian my friend, and am fluent in British English, not the English that has been technically bastardised by Americans. And its Gandhi, not Ghadi.! And when I say bastardised, I once again am not saying it in a bad way, its just a term I use (or better still, had been 'dumbed down" as you say by Americans..eg,..leaving letters out of words colour vs color, aluminium vs aluminum, get the point!).

I did not realise that people so highly educated could be so ignorant, Thank you ONA for clarifying the british/ american aspect.

And if you're curious about the Gheto A$$ comment, maybe you need to go add the study of EBONICS to your list of educational credits.( I am married to a black man , if that helps!). I asked a simple damn question, an honest to goodness question, and you my friend turned it into a personal attack on me, and dont say you didnt you damn well did.

Vj has turned into a big bitching site, plain and simple, where people feel the need to belittle others.

And finally, I know what proof reading is, I do it alot too, for others. But I have never had my own college paperwork proofread, as I am confident in my abilities, plain and simple. It is clear Ignorance is bliss in your eyes.

I was going to thank you for explaining the whole teaching thing before you turned it into an attack on me.... I apologised for my ignorance in the hope of a decent explanation to my question, that should of been a clue as to the sincerity of my question to begin with.

When I was in college we used to proof read each others papers on a regular bases (study groups). I proof read my wife's essay's. It's not unusual.

Ok, fair enough. I didn't realise that was the norm here. Thanks.

Alla will graduate and get her MA-TESOL tomorrow after nearly three years!

She has worked very hard, both in class and also in the various jobs she had during this time and has basically been going non-stop 16-18 hours a day. She is looking forward to sleeping late for a few days. Then she is off to Ukraine for a few weeks. I will join her there later in August and come back with her. She finished with a 3.95 grade average.

I will not know what to do with myself once I get my "wife back" and I do not have to proof-read all her essays, lesson plans, etc.

Now she has to find a job teaching English.

Umm, please excuse my ignorance...BUT, if you had to proof read everything she did, how can she get a job teaching English,....Just askin'?

steven that needs to be on FB....lol

Today is May 1st, the day that Osama Bin Laden was confirmed dead. 66 years ago, on May 1st, 1945 Hitler was confirmed dead, even though he committed suicide the previous evening. 66years ago, plus 5+1 (6) = 666!!

hOW'S THAT FOR A TIDBIT OF INFO!

..........and also because people were in battles to outpost each other and increase their post counts.....

Wasn't that sorta thing frowned upon a few years ago, a few people were ostracised for it. Posting just for the sake of one upping all the time, or pushing the thread back up. We were all told not to do that, as it put an unneccessary strain on the server or some damn thing.... and also because people were in battles to outpost each other and increase their post counts.....

Where does one begin?

With what I said just prior to you maybe,....lol?

Congrats!

But its a shame that so many of those posts have been controversial rather than beneficial...Just sayin'..

Still quite an achievement though......

I am guessing AARP sent this to you in your "welcome" packet Charles?

Great news, and good run down,..Congrats!

Wonderful news, Congrats!
