My 25yo son left for Japan this morning. He's heading for a conference. But this is not just any old conference. His facebook status this morning said, "Off to meet some Nobel laureates". Yep, it's a conference for young PhD and early post-doc science students and Nobel science prize winners. Each university could nominate 2 people, and o...See More

mmp I have to admit that I got teary eyed watching Downton Abbey last night. It was where the 3 servants were in Lady Granton's bedroom and she walks in seeing her clothes/coats laid out. Interesting that Tom decided to come back to England.

My son is going to complete his Engineering Degree this semester. He lives in another province and is s...See More

I see someone apparently took the BBC down again--haven't been able to raise them today--keeps saying they are busy

Really? Is that because you watch it online? I hardly ever do, so haven't had that issue before. We have a site here called downdetevtor...going to heck it out. Hope you an watch what you wa...See More

Golden Apples/Retired board

by moderator, please read

Jan 2, 2016

I've been advocating for some time combining the two boards. There are strong advantages to this:

1. The retired board goes down frequently, this board only stops when/if the entire t.net site is down which is rare. 2. The posting on GA is very light and retired postings are light to medium. 3. The poster's interests of the two boards are ...See More

Love, peace and all that jazz.

Positive person On 12/31/15,

Thank you SO much, EMA! and the same to you and yours!

OK! Now it's time for you to catch us up on what's been happening in your life--it's been WAY too long without you!

The very same to you, EMA. Lovely to see your name here and on the main board again. You are missed.

Something interesting?

by Novel

Dec 1, 2015

How about, instead of a role call, we share something that we think is interesting about us or our families or our lives?

Here's something from me: Our youngest has just moved out. LT and I are Darby and Joan (alone). Number 3 has taken himself to a flat in a nearby town, sharing with a colleague from work. Fortunately, he resisted pressur...See More

Flacka I don't know if this is "interesting" but I retired in June. I took a giant leap of faith and I love it! I don't know how I got everything done when I worked and my stress level has gone from a 9 to a 1. For me, this was the best decision I have made in a long time.

My hubby retired this fall so now we are working on getting our ...See More

Bluette My husband and I had a good 2015, aside from medical issues, mostly resolved now. We are both diabetic and fighting to keep the numbers down, an everyday struggle.

We saw one of my sons in August and my oldest grand was with him. He turns 15 on Jan 3, just passed his driver's test.

Two of my husband's children visited, each bringi...See More

Did you get tired of teaching before you retired?

by Novel

Nov 13, 2015

I have been thinking intensely about leaving teaching, for the first time. In the last three years of a 31 year career, I have had two serious allegations made against me by students. The last one has been recently sorted out. Both have been proved groundless BUT I have been through hell waiting for the resolution. It seems the students have all t...See More

jme Novel, I am sorry you're dealing with all this. I haven't had to deal with accusations, but I do understand how you feel (I think) and would retire right now if I could afford to. We don't teach any longer, we need to document. I miss the way I used to feel about teaching.
