Friday, January 25 View Page sure, take away the munchies! Sunday, January 27 View Page the moment red found out his wife was cheating on him with his best friend yellow....... Thursday, January 31 View Page Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $ 2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 . I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters , but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s: 1. Teaching Math In 1950s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ? 2. Teaching Math In 1960s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit? 3. Teaching Math In1970s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit? 4. Teaching Math In 1980s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. 5. Teaching Math In 1990s A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20.. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. ) 6. Teaching Math In 2009 Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho? 7. Teaching Math In 2013 Who cares, just steal the lumber from your rich neighbor's property. He won't have a gun to stop you, and the President says it's OK anyway cuz it’s redistributing the wealth. Friday, February 1 View Page sue, this is for you , practice...... Saturday, February 2 View Page sorry i have to rant, what's with this "convenience fee" people are charging for pay pal when they win seeds?? are you kidding me! if someone just won a great lot of seeds ( that was donated for free) so all of the money is profit for your club! why in the h e double hockey sticks charge them a convenience fee to use pay pal? let's squeeze every last dime out of them, hey why not ask them to also send the postage!, and the cost of the bubble, why stop there, let's charge them for the handling, imo these nice people bid on the seeds to support the club, i would think you would want them to use pay-pal, getting a check in the mail of any kind is more of a hassle, waiting for it to clear, bounce, signing them all, trip to the bank, ect. you get the idea. it all seems petty to me, so the next time anybody needs a donation of seeds, there might just be a huge "convenience fee" attached to the donation! lol. done rant.........

Wednesday, February 13 View Page the new team pumpkin bus is just about done in time for niagara Thursday, February 14 View Page A Republican man in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. He looked across the restaurant and asked, “Is that Jesus sitting over there?” The waitress nodded “yes,” so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him. And paid his bill with cash. The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, “Is that Jesus, over there?” The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, “My treat.” And paid his bill with cash The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, “Hey there honey! How’s about getting’ me a cold mug of Budweiser?” He too looked across the restaurant and asked, “Isn’t that God’s boy over there? The waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give him a cold beer. “On my tab,” he said loudly and gave her his EBT card. As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, “For your kindness, you are healed.” The Republican felt strength come back into his legs, got up, and walked out the door, thankful to Jesus. Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, “For your kindness, you are healed.” The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, and grateful to the Lord, he raised his hands, praised the Lord, and walked out the door. Then, Jesus walked towards the Democrat, just smiling. The Democrat jumped up and yelled, “Don’t touch me…I’m collecting disability.” (I don’t care what party you like, this one’s funny!)

A man wakes up one morning in Alaska to find a bear on his roof. So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad for "Bear Removers." He calls the number, and the bear remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes. The bear remover arrives, and gets out of his van. He's got a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun and a mean old pit bull. "What are you going to do," the homeowner asks? "I'm going to put this ladder up against the roof, then I'm going to go up there and knock the bear off the roof with this baseball bat. When the bear falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles and not let go. The bear will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the van." He hands the shotgun to the homeowner. "What's the shotgun for?" asks the homeowner. "If the bear knocks me off the roof, shoot the dog."

These should help you identify what a self-centered person is all about. If you look closely, you will find that they share a lot of their traits with a person suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. They put their happiness before anyone else. They do not show feelings of compassion, sympathy or understanding towards others or society. They tend to abandon someone for satisfying their own needs. They usually make for fair weather friends. They need to be constantly praised and their actions need to be met with approval at all times. They are indifferent to many things in society and people. Do not encourage others to excel in any field. Pull people down with actions and harsh words. They have a huge ego and they don't usually acknowledge their mistakes and rarely ever apologize for the same. Are usually materialistic because inanimate objects can be controlled and manipulated. They need to be in the limelight and the center of attention all the time. They do not listen and exhibit several traits of selfishness. In a conversation, they often cut someone's point to put forth their own. They do not contribute in group activities or projects that involve team work. They often brag about their achievements and have a tendency to make a major deal about something that might be quite minor to begin with. They are very, very possessive about their objects and the people around them and do not like to share anything. They care more about their self image than anything else and want the world to revolve around them. In that way there is always a lack of empathy in relationships. People who are self-centered share a lot of their traits with narcissistic behavior traits and therefore dealing with these kinds of people needs to be managed in the same way that narcissists are dealt with. Thursday, April 4 View Page How to Deal with Self-centered People It's needless to say that living with a person(s) who is self-centered is not easy and can take a toll on the way a person interacts with others. How is one supposed to deal with this kind of behavior trait then? Here are some ways that exhibit how to go about it. When interacting with self-centered people, try to do so in a group so that there are others present around and there is a chance to get your point across as well. This will prevent him/her from making it all about himself/herself. Try and look for breaks in speech to include your points of view. If possible, try and understand why they exhibit such behavior patterns. When you find their underlying needs for that behavior, or certain ways in which they stop that behavior, then supplying them with that will prevent the behavior pattern. Like a genuine praise might stop them from trying to hoard the attention further. Do not lose your temper or peace of mind by getting affected with what they do. Try and remain focused on your life. You can try and speak to them and tell them how their behavior affects you. It could help. But it has been seen that a self-centered person cannot really be expected to change. Do not give in to their demands at the cost of your own. Do not let them dominate you. This will only encourage them to be more and more selfish. Try and put your foot down and as hard as it may be, try and put your needs out there as well. Dealing with self-centered people is not as easy it might seem. You need to be focused and not lose your cool. That is why many people find it easier to simply avoid or limit being in the company of people who are self-centered. Though it definitely does not hurt to try to talk to them, do not let them suck into your peace and quiet.
