Well, this is my second post with the new “backend” of the tangents.org website, and I have to say, so far I like it better! It really wasn’t that difficult to get used to the changes, and so far anyway, I’ve found everything I need. If you’ve read my post called, “When Technology Attacks” then […]
So the other day I was waiting outside Walmart for my husband to get our Wii-fund… I know, I said I wasn’t going to wait in the car with the kids anymore, but I dropped him off and went home to get some forgotten items for our Mother’s Day excursion, so I wasn’t sitting there
It is official. Wii wiiturned the Wii for a Wiifund. Although I had some fun playing it, I deifnately did not see the long term value and did not see it working well for a workout. Not better than the lower cost Xavix anyhow. So, it is now history but… Funny story! When I entered

While serving on the board of a local community agency, a certain personality type came to my attention: teacher’s pet. Yes, these people are alive and well and living as adults.

After the whole family (siblings and their children) all took Mom out for Mother’s Day brunch HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL! I decided to tag along and watch Speed Racer…. following a brief play-reading meeting. Going in, I had little expectation. I only vaguely remember seeing repeat episodes of the 60s Japanese animated import. I

I was taking a look at Teachertube today and found something interesting. Now this is something I have yet to have to do as a substitute- play a video from the teacher. Apparently this teacher left video instructions on what the kids would do in class that day. If I were his sub I think
How long does it take you to “run in” to a store? I suppose it depends on the size of the store and what you need. If you’re running into the gas station to pay for gas, then it will probably take a fraction of the time it would take you to “run in” to
