I procrastinated for 3 days, whether or not to start a thread on the subject  .
And I am not good at coming up with thread topic either - unlike you or Merika, Luba.

But you are very intelligent (which I tried to spell 3 times, kept hitting the wrong keys) and would inspire us with threads that would make us think...I'm SURE you would!

Perhaps I could. But my thoughts are not that interesting.
Right now, my youngest brother received a letter from his former school, about an evening he should attend for information on his school. He has not even enrolled for the current curriculum, and was even told by staff members of that same school, that the school could do nothing for him, and that it would be better to go to a different one :?
Seriously, I am currently trying to imagine the massive amount of incompetence needed to run a school like that....

The rest of the story must be somewhere in the forums. I'll have to go read around.
And BTW... I never come up with interesting topics. I steal them from other forums!

It is better to steal something that is of value, than think of something worthless yourself (must be an expression that says the same thing in English).
The story is not on the forums. When my youngest brother had not gone to school for 9 months, with the knowledge of my parents, school finally managed to make a call, to ask where he was! 8O That is, according to law off by at least 8 months ...

I just got home today from working 4 days straight in the middle of nowhere. Yesterday we drove over 1,500km and in the last 4 days worked 64 hours. I'm tired. I'm just glad my week off starts monday!

So what would you like the members to be doing when you are so busy to help you out? ....coming up with more topics, researching interesting and funny articles, more current events, research forums that aren't moving as much??
You've done SO much work and spent so much of your life in what you believe in here and I, for one, must NOT let you down |

I am kind of with Vautrin on the topic issue. I don't have ideas on topics but love to respond to the ones here. I try to think of things but don't have much luck. Plus when I am down I don't have much motivation and the last couple weeks have been downers for me. Sorry.
