I imagine it takes a great deal of creativity and ingenuity to teach to such a unique group of students. I work with a couple children with learning disabilities, and that's the most exciting part for me - working together and figuring out what works best."We still commit murder because of greed and spite and jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything we've done. [...] Its not enough to survive... One has to be worthy of survival."

Well, OED has been a bit disappointing. Yesterday was the first word I didn't know the meaning of. Well, I knew a different pronounciation and meaning. It was "mozz" which is apparently Australian slang for "jinx" and pronounced "mawz". I'm from New England, where there are lots of Italians, so I'm used to mozz being "motz", the cheese often used in Italian cooking or the type of pizza that comes with no additional toppings.sigpicSig by Bay, for my birthday.

ROFL! I recently sent a text to hubby, who laughed at my misspelling of a simple word. Brain not functioning with the Alzheimer's madness from Mom. However, even I know that there is something wrong with Kernel O'Neal. I do try to be better in my fic posts than my texting. (However, my brain might not catch cannon/canon ATM).sigpicSig by Bay, for my birthday. Find me on fanfiction.net, AO3, or fictionpress.com. If you are over 18, I invite you to read my blogs.
