I found a website a long time ago that was for homeschooling moms. I only used the toddler/preschooler part. It was very complete, had a lot of activities and lessons on it. They had a daily curriculum starting a infancy. That's all the information I can provide, I don't remember anything else about the site. Does anyone know of a good site like that?

When I went to Temple College I took a piano class because I've always wanted to learn how to play a piano. Well, I had this teacher who was old, mean and nasty to me. I was a beginner,just learning how to play. She would get upset and yell at me across the classroom and embarass me in front of my class. And one day she had the nerve to come up to me and say that she has low patience for slow learners. Usually, I'm a fast learner. I catch up real fast, but she always made me feel uncomfortable and nervous in her classroom. Any comments or advice?

Another inane question! :)

I learned to type in the mid-1980s (on a typewriter) in California. We were specifically told to hit the space bar ONCE after typing a period. My mom learned in the late 1940s or early '50s (obviously on a typewriter) in Illinois, and she too was told to only hit ONE space.

However, I also know folks, both of my generation, my mom's, and others, who put 2 spaces after a period. I think this looks silly, wastes space, and makes typing more tedious.

I'm trying to figure out if there's any rhyme or reason to this. The majority of folks I've asked agree that ONE space is the preferred rule. And, if you ever get into journalism or publishing, you'll quickly learn 2 spaces are taboo!! *chuckle* It's all about word count or inch count, and all those extra spaces add up to LOTS of waste!

Please give your age, WHEN you learned to type, WHERE you learned, and if you use 1 or 2 spaces. Also, if you know WHY the 2-space thing was ever used at all, please share! :)

Is anyone in favor of the Simplified Spelling thing? If so, explain why. Seriously though, if you don't know how to spell then you're pretty retarded... very retarded. If you don't know what I'm talking about, follow this link >http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060705/ap_on_re_us/simpl_wurdz<

It MUST have inspirational, motivational, management, leadership OR teamwork connotations. I'm thinking BC?
