OT Fixing Tricia
Re the Guild. It took me awhile to get to know people when I joined the
Guild. You have to understand that most everyone there knows everyone else or they have their special friends. There are quite probably several people attending that are in the same boat as you are & don't know anyone. It wasn't until I got really involved with my guild that I got to know people & I've been a member for 3 years now & I'm still getting to know other members. Currently, one of my hats is Volunteer Coordinator & I'm surprised at the number of woman that are so happy to be asked to help out - but wouldn't have volunteered on their own. You might have to step out of your comfort zone a little to get to know the people & feel more comfortable. -- Pauline Northern California "mini Mini" wrote in message . 54... volunteering: I see you said you do volunteer work but it sounds like the work you are doing is all individual work. You need to work on a team/comittee. If you are doing database & web sites you are working alone and won't mmet ppl. As for the guild: I would say try again, but if it's really not what you want/expect, don't force yourself to go. (hugs) |

OT proposed discussion: How did you learn to be a "woman" rather than a "girl"?
I'm not much for make-up either but I would suggest you try a department
store cosmetic counter "make over". The classier the store the classier the result is likely to be. The make-overs are often free since they will try to sell their (expensive) products- worth it if you like the look & it will help you get to kind of job you want. You might also want to try a spa facial- feels good & they'll give you skin care advice. Both of these aren't free. Expect they'll recommend $100-200 of cosmetics and about $50 for the facial. Jane in NE Ohio Specific to the Woman v Girl thing, I know virtually nothing about make up, let alone how to properly apply it so I don't look like clown or tramp. I suspect something that is hindering my ability to get hired lately is the fact that I don't "do" make up and such Besides the employment issue, I have been pondering trying to find out how to "do" make up properly for a while now -- simply so I *can* do it when the mood/situation strikes -- like going out for a nice evening with my husband or to a wedding, etc. Hence, realizing I have virtually no knowledge in an area many women seem to have plenty, I thought I'd ask where that knowledge came from...where did you learn it? Pondering, Tricia |

OT FOIA requests
Witchy Stitcher wrote: Many states publish their core curriculae on the web. New York State has a core only for Math so far, but they have the learning standards in all subject areas. If that doesn't work, you should make a Freedom of Information request for the curriculum even if you don't need it right now. Linda PATCHogue, NY DH says FOIA requests are only for the government or press.....is he right or mistaken? T. PS - Michigan has less than stellar guidelines on the web but even that is mostly just for the elementary level (my local district publishes on their website their yearly expectations for grades up through and including 5 but not higher). The case I was grumbling about was for middle school. |

I didn't feel this disconnect when we first moved, that's part of what is irking me now. The "cure" is to do less, spend some time on the couch with a pot of tea and a good book, make sure you get extra sleep. Roberta in D Yeah, I'd like to be able to sleep a regular schedule for my body, let alone more (lately I've done the wake up at 7 am thing and stay up -- so not me! I think my system is messed up by some meds I was on or nerves or something). I've done the book and reading, piecing, etc. route (good advice in general -- I'm just beyond that point now) and am now stir crazy as all get out. Normally I like solitary activities but not lately. Well, just called DH to remind him to come home from work and when he gets here I'm gonna make him take me around town looking for second hand places, etc. Also to just drop off my application and letter at the LQS.

OT FOIA requests
He is correct, but School Districts are a governmental angency. I've
made many requests to school districts. Linda PATCHogue, NY On 1 Sep 2006 14:17:26 -0700, "Tricia" wrote: Witchy Stitcher wrote: Many states publish their core curriculae on the web.
