It is very sad that only ONE person replied to my thread. That's great respect, yeah. If you didn't notice this thread, which I think you should've, that's okay, I guess.
A reminder to people about the flag salutes. This is directed more to people in school, but it still applies. When you hear the pledge being said, or your state's pledge being said, you are supposed to stop RIGHT where you are. You're supposed to put everything on the floor, like a backpack, etc., and follow along with the pledge. That shows respect when you do that. It shows that you don't care much if you don't. You STOP, you don't wait to get back to your seat, or an exuse like, "I couldn't because I was in the hall at my locker," NO. You stop what you are doing, STOP right where you're standing, don't walk and say the pledge, and follow along. Then continue what you are doing. You don't just stand there and whisper it either. You put your hand on your heart and say it.
For people who live in Texas and go to school: the state of Texas requires 60 seconds of quiet time in homeroom, for meditation, prayer, etc. You DO NOT do ANYTHING when quiet time is going on. You don't read, you don't talk, you don't move around... you stay still. I'm trying to pray, and you have people getting noisy with their velcro binders, reading, or whispering. You gotta shut up, not read, and not shuffle around when this is going on. It disturbs people, and annoys the heck out of me too. THAT GOES FOR YOU SADIB, ALSO. I'm guessing that you don't stay quiet when quiet time is going, do ya? Don't tell me you don't have quiet time at your school. The WHOLE state requires it.
So take some time to think about what I said about the pledges, and if you live in Texas, think about what I said about quiet time also.
Thank you.
Funny Things to do With Your Microwave
Get a toothpick and stick into a piece of cork. Light the tip on fire, place in the microwave, and rev it up. Vertical fireballs should ride from the toothpick up to the top of the microwave. LD, you have an E-Z Bake Oven, but it won''t work with that I don''t think
