One can never tell either from day to day, some students need more help and a lot of teachers are happy to do it outside their working hours, they stay behind, help the students, make up new ways for them to learn, etc, etc. I found that most teachers are very dedicated.

@OwlInASack Yes my daughter got a record player for Christmas from her beloved and now she is hunting for old records.

Men say women should come with instructions.

Jolanta comments on Feb 23, 2019:

Women are such incredibly amazing creatures, the instruction book would be so thick that it would come in volumes.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@AstralSmoke Yes indeed so it would be easier for you men to understand us better.

I loved my veranda.

Jolanta comments on Feb 23, 2019:

I shall join you.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@Holiday Tea please and some biscuits or a piece of cake please. I have given up on any kind of diet and shall be happy with a bit of padding on my bones.

I woke this morning to a snowstorm.

How are you coping with life after being in Thailand for so long?

The New Forest in UK is a wonderful place to visit. There are ponies walking around freely, just a magical place to be.

@BeeHappy I did too but now I know they are and they are poisonous too. Just to look at no touching unless of course you are sick of life.

I only glanced at it.

Yes I noticed.

I'm a patriot...I served the US in Vietnam but I am always on guard against the super patriots that are trying to manipulate behavior with their flag waving rhetoric. Look at Trump the greatest patriotic President we have ever had...when he had a chance to serve in Vietnam he got a doctor to get him...

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

So are you proud about being in Vietnam?

There is a great difference between true Patriotism and Jingoism even more so between The Patriot and the Nationalist.

Yeah you are the problem.

Take a good look around you.

I'm very happy with my socialist Medicare and Social Security. I think socialist unemployment insurance and food stamps are great economic aids for Americans in distress.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@Renickulous I think the rest of the world doesn't think that the US is so great, not even Donald does that or he would not have to have those hats made in Mexico that he sells and wears to make America great again.

Take a good look around you.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@Renickulous You know that in the US 56 million have trouble paying medical bills, in Denmark 0. In the US 35 millions will be contacted by collections agencies for unpaid medical bills, Denmark 0. 26 million will use of all their saving to take out new credit to pay for medical bills, Denmark 0. And the last one in Cuba nobody but nobody no matter how poor will have to pay anything to get medical attention pre-existing problems or not and you are asking what the US have done worse than whoever.

Take a good look around you.

There are many successful nationalized (or *socialized*) Institutions and programs in the U.S... Like it or not we are already a hybrid of capitalism and *socialism*.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@Renickulous Really higher premium Obama care, just as if the health care insurance has gone down since Donald took charge. A lot of people in the US I know has said that it has not done so at all.

Well, this is awkward.

Renickulous comments on Feb 22, 2019:

Lol the hats werent made by illegal immigrants so it should be fine and irony free

No they are on special visas so he can pay the pittance.

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 22, 2019:

Women do come with instructions, lots of them, about everything, trying to **stop** them giving instructions is a damn near impossibility.

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 22, 2019:

All women need to know about men is that they have two states of being applicable to them, Horny and Hungry, so if you see a man without an erection make him a sandwich.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

No wonder that so many women cannot be bothered with you.

Hi, I am not born Jewish but have a lot of admiration for some of the culture.

Long time ago when I was in Sri lanka on holidays. In the restaurant which did not have aircon, some of the European people were complaining that the service was too slow, the waiters weren't moving fast enough for them. I was astounded, but did not say anything I just could not believe what I ...

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@Rustee You know some people should just stay at home and eat fish and chips or whatever they are use to eating and just watch TV.

Bernie for President?

Heidi68 comments on Feb 19, 2019:

I want new blood. No Bernie, no Biden, no Hillary. I like all of them but we need out of the same ol' same ol' Democrats. We have a chance for real change but that will not happen if we don't change the guards. As far as who I like right now - we are way to early & I want to learn more about each ...

Jolanta comments on Feb 19, 2019:

Yes, most of the people I know here in Australia cannot believe that you voted for him, but then we have our own crazy Prime Minister, who is every so religious but happy to put people into detention centers because they are fleeing wars.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@Freedompath Yes you are not bombing those places at the moment, however the US has waged an economic war against Venezuela for 18 years, and you can look up how they tried to overthrow Hugo Chavez there. When it comes to Iran the US is to blame what has happened there too. If they would not interfere in elections than they would not have this horrible religious mob in place.

World's largest bee not extinct as previously thought.

Jolanta comments on Feb 21, 2019:

What is the point. It says that it is very elusive and I have not ever seen on in my life so this article is somehow misleading about bee extinction.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@david75090 I think that you are right that it is a different kind of bee. Not one of those that we all need, pollinating our crops.

IAMGROOT comments on Feb 19, 2019:

No thanks. And I don't care how old he is.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

@IAMGROOT Oh you little groot capitalist. I guess you thinks so because it has been so good and working so wonderfully for all Americans, not. You know if it is so terrible in California and you have to pay so much tax, then go somewhere else. I can tell you that I have lived in three different countries under different political regimes and the best one was the social democratic one.
