• 228 the real one was

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to NANCY BACKUS on Friday, April 12, 2019 09:53:26
    Whoops... he was probably overconfident, and didn't prepare his mind
    quite well enough... one can't let the attention waver for that sort of thing.... ;0
    Indeed. He was an arrogant SOB, and I always figured
    he was the best karateka in Lexington, Kentucky mostly
    to impress the girls.
    Probably.

    Not that we all didn't do things to impress members
    of the opposite sex, but in some cases it appears
    just so blatant.

    Some of them are homeschooled.... and they may have learned the Constitution as well... ;) The skit is a classic...
    One hopes. It is, however, an interesting paradox
    that one might have the best chance at a social
    studies education in a less than social setting.
    Homeschoolers nowadays get a fair bit of socialization... they generally
    do group enrichment, one day a week for a period of time (maybe 10 or 13 weeks) a couple times a year.... That's when they'll have some subjects
    best taught in a group... including science lectures and labs... but
    they are also interacting with others besides their siblings... :)

    It's changed since my day.

    and with some of those kids being baseball fanatics, not all that surprising they'd have fun with it... ;)
    You try asking some 21st-century young adult who's
    on first, and see what you get.
    Depends on the kid... ;)

    We're talking percentages here!

    I've always been more intrigued by the using one's
    opponent's strength against him/her flipping
    techniques. I mean, I could do the slab-breaking
    and phone-book tearing thing without specialized
    training (back when the Boston book was slim enough
    for a person to actually hold).
    There was some of that, too, in his presentation... the using the
    opponent's strength against part... :)

    I'd have been intrigued.

    ... The trouble with troubleshooting is that trouble shoots back.
    Ain't it the truth.
    Sadly... ;)

    And computers can sense fear, as can automobiles,
    ovens, and violins.

    Yes, it was, didn't I mention that? Almost all chocolate
    milk these days is non- or lowfat. The Borden that crowned
    my experimentation was the exception.
    I think we both mentioned it, as we were discussing our childhood experience... Upstate Farms sells both a lowfat and a fullfat (Original) chocolate milk in their Intense line... those are available at Wegmans
    in pint plastic bottles... but, agreed, that is an exception to the
    general rule as well... :)

    For a while Upstate Farms was the yogurt supplier
    to United - it was lowfat. Now it's Chobani nonfat.

    But, I will admit to being less quick to pick up even chocolate milk
    when
    out nowadays since lowfat and substandardness is becoming standard....
    One thing is that fat encourages spoilage, as things
    don't rancidize without it. That doesn't excuse the
    horridnesses of nonfat dairy products, though.
    Rancidity isn't the only way a thing can spoil, after all... and nasty
    is nasty....

    But fat increases the chance multifold. And dollars
    are dollars.

    There's some decent ingredients in there.... and not quite universal

    Olive oil ... .

    poison, they left out the zucchini... ;> But agreed, very
    poisonous....

    What's nonfat sour cream - nonfat sour additives? -

    Probably.
    Not that we all didn't do things to impress members
    of the opposite sex, but in some cases it appears
    just so blatant.

    Yup.

    Some of them are homeschooled.... and they may have learned the Constitution as well... ;) The skit is a classic...
    One hopes. It is, however, an interesting paradox
    that one might have the best chance at a social
    studies education in a less than social setting.
    Homeschoolers nowadays get a fair bit of socialization... they generally
    do group enrichment, one day a week for a period of time (maybe 10 or 13 weeks) a couple times a year.... That's when they'll have some subjects
    best taught in a group... including science lectures and labs... but
    they are also interacting with others besides their siblings... :)
    It's changed since my day.

    It has... and has become more mainstream.... I think that the enrichment classes have been available from the beginning of Lydia's being involved
    in home-schooling, ie since her oldest was ready for school... she's homeschooled all her kids straight thru high school, except for one that
    she sent to the local school for a while.... The local LEAH group (not
    sure exactly what that stands for, but it's an organization of
    homeschoolers) had those classes, and Lydia and Daddy team-taught
    Physics more than once..... :)

    and with some of those kids being baseball fanatics, not all that surprising they'd have fun with it... ;)
    You try asking some 21st-century young adult who's
    on first, and see what you get.
    Depends on the kid... ;)
    We're talking percentages here!

    Most of the kids I'm in contact with seem to know the skit... of course,
    most of them are also homeschooled, or really into baseball and even the
    fun stuff around it... :)

    I've always been more intrigued by the using one's
    opponent's strength against him/her flipping
    techniques. I mean, I could do the slab-breaking
    and phone-book tearing thing without specialized
    training (back when the Boston book was slim enough

    For a while Upstate Farms was the yogurt supplier
    to United - it was lowfat. Now it's Chobani nonfat.

    Hardly worth ingesting.... What we buy in the store is the Stonyfield
    whole milk yogurt... now that is good stuff... Used to be even better,
    when they sold the cream-top yogurt.... ;)

    I will admit to being less quick to pick up even chocolate milk when
    out nowadays since lowfat and substandardness is becoming standard....

    is nasty....
    But fat increases the chance multifold. And dollars
    are dollars.

    And nonfat stays out of my cart.... they get no dollars from me... ;)

    What's nonfat sour cream - nonfat sour additives? -

    An oxymoron, for starters.... and yes, probably nothing but sour
    additives... ;0

    ttyl neb

    ... Who needs veggies or nutrition? Bring on the luscious fat!
