So I guess that my thinking was pretty close in number, but a world apart.
and what did I say now to make you repeat that?
squeak, I thought a teeny tiny drop less.
He’s younger than 29
squeak, squeak- personal info… <shaking my head in disappointment>
squeak, he’s gotta be married and thanks b’cuz i just learned what TTYTT stands for
I forgot to ask- what does TTYTT stand for? (or should I be avoiding this answer?)
areivim, it’s not 3 yr old stuff. People tend to see others in their own shadow. I assumed that it was your own bias that caused you to peg me as you did, hence I assumed you were in that bracket. Capish?
We are not the same age. I’ve given away mine a while ago, just like you did yesterday.
Also, I think I clearly answered the older/younger question – I thought you were 29; so I overestimated by a few years.
P.S. I don’t have a 3 year old (anymore) 😉
Moish – he’s not. But what do I know? Plus, I’m disappointed – I thought I made up TTYTT just now.
ha really? so wait, who said we’re thinking the same thing? i googled it, but maybe you intended to say something else??
I capished before the lengthy psychological explanation- I was bating you (rub-off from squeak vs. mod39)
You shouldn’t let this knowledge effect the way you talk, my brain power remains the same (dat be good, or dat be bad?)
Me start use wevy wittle words, oh kay?
squeak, can I get you a twink? (wheres the story tapes thread. when zaidy was young)
isn’t it a “d”?? 😉
Kapusta, ellevendy six times 😉
Ready for another lesson?
mepal, yea, but I think I’m going in a minute or two. 🙂
could you post it, and I’ll see it later? thanx
btw, will you be joining us for the night shift tonight?
Ready or not, here goes.
Lesson #3
Part 2
This one’s gonna be short and sweet cuz not much too it.
You are given a literary work and some kind of graph on the same topic (you hope, at least!). In the task box, it should say what they require you to write about. AFTER reading that and making sure you understand what is required, you read the passage and glance at the graph. Dont get scared off by the graph. All you need to do, is add in at some point of your essay, proof from you graph. For example, if you are writing about the dangers of teenage smoking and the graph shows an increase of lung cancer with an increase of teenage smoking, then in your essay, when you write ‘there is an increase of lung cancer in people that begin smoking in their teenage years’ just add ‘as we see in the blah blah blah graph’. That’s it! Nothing too difficult. The only part that scares people is the graph. But it shouldn’t anymore!
B’Hatzlacha!
Good luck with the rest of your finals!
NO NO NO! This day was waaay too looooong already! I think I’m gonna hit the sack soon. Oh, and btw, my brother (another one) just had his third child today. A cute, little princess! Now that should be it for now (in the baby dept, that is)!
mepal, thanx a lot! great lesson . and, mazel tov! keep ’em coming!
mepal: cool, mazel tov aunt mepal!
Mazal tov, auntie;P
~a the real one~
kapusta: from the Good Shobbos thread-& funny date thread story—>continuation:
have you ever seem the type of Super Soaker, that i was talking about! the one with the gallon of water on the back like a backpack?! cause if ya did, you would see why i don’t wanna share it! but for the CR Queen, i guess i can let ya try if out!
Jax, yea, I think my brother had one. only try it out? no keeps? 😉
kapusta, now for our final lesson:
Lesson 4
Part 1
In part number one, you are being tested on your listening comprehension. A teacher reads a given passage that you are expected to write notes on. Based on the passage, you are supposed to complete the required task. For part number one, you are in luck! Because of the widespread use of texting, there are so many more known word shortcuts. Like, gr8, w/d, s/d/, w/nt, sh/nt. So at least when it comes to writing the notes, you’re pretty much covered. The issue is understanding what is being read to you. What some people do, is listen the first time the passage is read and write it up the second time around. If you do that, you might get stuck missing some information and not being able to fill it in. I think it is much more advisable to write down as much as you can the first time around so you get the basic jist of it and then, listen the second time around and fill it whatever you didn’t get down the first time. Then you reread your task and complete your essay.
chazak, chazak, kapusta! I wish you much hatzlacha on your regent, and hope it all goes well.
btw, these 4 lessons are all (basically) from memory (I did peak into a regent book just to make sure I got the parts right). I do not teach twelfth grade English (thank g-d!).
Now go take another well deserved break!
mepal, thanx! you should teach twelfth grade english, you’re good!
you know what they say about breaks… the only problem with not doing anything is that you cant take a break from it (cough cough) 😉
anyone here? kapusta?
…why is it so boring around here?
here. bored as anything.
AOB, I’m the one who livens it up? why thank you. 🙂
I’m also pretty bored tonight, and I have two regents to study for (hehe) anyone wanna study for me? its very entertaining. 😉
man, i am so glad the cr’s anonymisss. i really appreciate it now.
mepal: wow your good at this english stuff! wanna be my spelling tutor?!
kapusta: sorry, not for keeps ever! my nephews get it before you pal! 😉
AOB, did I hear my name?
moish, hey what’s up, buddy boy? How’ve you been? i’m getting kinda frustrated. How come we never manage to coordinate???
~a the real one~
some luck i have! i come & the mods are all gone! 🙁
kapusta: yes 😉 but honestly i was asking if you were here since you were the latest poster
anonymisss: hey that’s really funny (& shows how tired i am) – i meant anonymous but spelled it your way & didn’t even realize.
<blockquotes>moish, hey what’s up, buddy boy? How’ve you been? i’m getting kinda frustrated. How come we never manage to coordinate???</blockquotes>
that’s what happens when both of you start avoiding the cr 🙁 what did you expect?
jax: this morning you put me in a good mood though with all those posts there. you dominate the board now 🙂
kapusta, me and teaching don’t exactly get along ;). Maybe one on one. So jax, you’re in luck. I can tutor you for a nominal fee.
Kapusta, please pay up your tuition in an efficient manner.
an open book: that’s great i got ya in a good mood by dominating the board! 😉
mepal: i’ll pay you a top price for tutoring me! thank you! 😉
aob, I’m not avoiding, just been in rehab, but my therapist is away for a week, so I’ll bee here.
~a the real one~
Jax- go to the t’hillim thread. Can you do shabbos backup?
Fine, Jax! Where do we start?
areivim: i did, & said yes!
mepal: at the begining!
a fowarded text that I got.
Everyone is asked to please be mekabel Shabbos at least five minutes early for R’ Chaim Dovid ben Leah, a 31 yungerman. Please pass around the message.
mods, is there any way to post this on the main page? thanx. 🙂
kapusta it was on the home page last night and there is a link to it in the Tehillim thread.
72, I meant about the early shabbos part.
it is there: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/General+News/35514/TEHILLIM+-+Flatbush+Yungerman+Critical+From+Flu.html
sorry about that, I just checked. I didnt see it on the original post, maybe it was added later.
thanx a lot!
it was there originally, Besoros Tovos
where’s a mod when we need one?!
bored bored bored
let me guess… 39??
😉
Jax, agreed! 🙂
Jax, I think firefox would be a better teacher than me.
A. He catches every mistake
B. He then tells you exactly how to spell it right
C. He doesn’t charge extra for his services!
believe it or not all this talk about regents and highschool is making me miss the good old days (not the work and tests sillies the camradery, fun, excitement, etc.,)
yossi, you can always go back and teach. 😉
