but if the powers can point at my test and say, "That one managed to do okay", it takes the wind out of their complaint of the test being unreasonable. Which makes me feel a little guilty...
Um, or they could have paid attention and studied. You should feel no guilt for their inability to learn. Clearly it was covered or you'd remember the omission.

Yeah, i was also that person in class. And i did once point out a particular exam question that was covered in a chapter of the book we were not assigned to read (but i did, cuz it was interesting) but not in assigned reading or classroom discussion, and got a few brownie points with the rest of the class for getting them those two points back. Plus i got bonus points!
Speaking of, I excavated about ten tons of toddler boy toys last weekend. How's Dylan fixed for matchbox cars?
Oh, yeah, Sox, we'd love some of Iris' outgrown stuff!
I hope if I am ever blessed with a baby, there is still a bunch of b.org baby clothes to be spoiled with.
There seems to be a constant supply of sprog so far--Kalliope and Glambaby, etc. Even with all the stuff I've sent out, I STILL have baby and toddler clothes from both boys and girls I can send. I seem to be constantly finding stuff I haven't mailed out.
How is "lagh" pronounced "lee"? Come on now.
Siobhan = "Shi-vawn" Gaelic languages are not to be reasoned with.

We're pretty well stocked for toys, but there are three boys under 2 in our building so nothing will go to waste!

James Joyce will CUT you, man.
No sleep. Even with thrree pain meds, need music to sleep. iPod battery is dead. Stevie Nicks helps me sleep when things hurt. Charging battery now.
I can't find my Rachel Carson book. I want to read about the birds and fish. It isn't where it's supposed to be. There's a Mickey Mouse sock on teh floor.
Hil, you're kind of stuck in the swamp of suck.
Yes.
Can't sleep. Huuuurts. Already took Tramadol, Tylenol, and Aleve, and can't take anything more.
Oh, Hil, that is a slough of suckitude.
sj, I'm glad the concert seems to be worth it.
omnis, Daniel says he has this image in his head of Buffistas singing, "Kiss de girl" for you.
One of my nicknames in high school was "Curve-bender."
I was the Curve-breaker. AP English Lit, senior year, the teacher had a series of tests that she told us up front she had designed to be so hard that in her 5+ years of teaching that class, three sections every year, no one had succeeded in getting a perfect score. She graded 'em on a curve.
I got a 50/50, on two of them.
Other honors students joked frequently about kidnapping me before exams.
