Elementary school gym for me was fine. Some things I couldn't do, but nobody ever made a big deal out of it. Our elementary school gym teacher was great at finding things for us to do where everybody could participate at their own level and it wasn't a contest. Middle school and high school gym, though, sucked.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were in a wheelchair in elementary school?I was in a chair through most of Middle School. Our MS was spread through 5 buildings all on a hill, so getting from class to class was a nightmare on the crutches. In the chair, one of the custodial staff would wheel me from class to class. High School I ditched the wheel chair. And by that time, I got the forarm crutches, which are SOOooOooo much better the old wooden ones.

Of course, it wasn't like the PE teacher was going to frogmarch me around the track. A Gandhi-esque bout of lump-on-the-groundness seemed to work.
This has me giggling at an image of a teenaged connie hunkered down on the track glowering at a pushy PE teacher. Go you!

I just discovered that coriander and cilantro are the same thing. Oh, coriander. You sounded like such a nice little spice. But you're an evil herb in disguise.
Aha! I see that the seeds are what I always thought of as coriander. But the leaves are cilantro! BASTARD.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think coriander is cilantro seeds. So yeah, the same plant but quite different in flavor and application.

Except in Europe. There, coriander can mean either the seeds or the leaves. I think.

Cilantro is the one that tastes like soap, right?

The rest of you are just pretending that cilantro tastes good. And that sweet corn is sweet.
I hate having a sense I can't rely on to give accurate information.
