Things that are of interest to me

I have been studying in my class at BVU about Global warming. The book that we are reading and doing so writings about is World on Edge  Author is Lester Brown. Early in my posts I posted a video that we had to watch.     Well, since it is the month of January I have taken a picture of my deck, one is right after it snowed, the other is about a week later. Here is the first photo taken  And here is the second photo. The point I am trying to make is that this being January, the snow on my deck should not have melted like that. It should still be there, and I know that it would have been if global warming was not a real thing.

I am have been thinking,about how time changes things. Time changes at lot of different things, Time has been know to change relationships, sometimes for the better,and sometimes not. But this post is not about relationships. This is about how time changes how one lives, when I was as young as what my grandchildren are. Television was the norm of every household. Not that it was bad, because back than Television had a lot of good moral values on it, that helped my generation to grow up. There were shows, that taught how one should treat another, Examples, The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Room 222, Leave to Beaver, Bonanza, Rawhide, Gilligan's Island, Land of the Giants. Of course we had our crime shows too, examples of those are Mod Squad, which by the way was my favorite, there was and I believe still is Hawaii Five-O.     Know to change the subject, weather has even changed. There is talk about global warming. Out of curiosity, I asked a few people if they thought t...

The video speaks for itself. I found it to be very enlightening. You might too. 

I was thinking about my granddaughter's upcoming birthday. As I was browsing the internet for adult coloring pictures that I could print off and color on my 15 min breaks at work , I was thinking about my grandsons and what they might be interested in coloring as well. Well I found a site that allows you to color the picture on the computer, I tried it and it is fun and challenging, the site I found is         http://www.printerkids.com/online-coloring/434-transformers-009.html. I hope that you will check it out for yourself.

My son Adrian woke up at 5:30 am this morning. He woke up because he had wet the bed. My son has Down Syndrome. He is 14 years old, Why does the school not want to toilet train children with special needs that are like Adrian. I mean really do not the schools care; maybe the staff at the school should go around wearing depends all day long. Than maybe they would know what it would feel like to have to have a paper product next to their sink all day. I think something should be done to get schools that  teach special education to first get this out of the way. It would make the student's day go better as well as the people that work with special needs students. I mean going to the bathroom is a daily living activity. It should be first priority, after all it is a dignity issue. Does one really know what is on the mind of a special needs person, that is unable to articulate what he/she might be thinking. Or does society still view special needs people as being less than human. True, ...

Well, Classes start tomorrow. Question am I ready? Answer is yes, I have already begun to read out of my two textbooks. One of the books is titled World on Edge. I have read the first chapter and I have to still read Chapters 2 and 3. I am trying to takes notes as I read the chapters. I am doing this with spiderscribe.net. In the other book I have read Chapter 1 and 17. I have yet to read Chapters 18,21 and 22. I will be very busy this next eight weeks.     I was suppose to have gone to work today at Walmart, but the computers in the store was having issues. Hoping that they will be resolved by tomorrow, which I am sure they will be.

Well, for the spring and summer of 2016, I will be spending roughly $260.43 not adding  the third term price of books which was at about $45.00 Chegg.com is a good source to get all your college textbooks. They are really very reasonable.  I chose to rent the textbooks from Chegg.com Saving money is one thing I really like to do.

Well, the only good thing, I have to say is that my textbooks from Chegg .com should be here tomorrow, I am sign up for one class but it has two books. The class is BVU seminar. There will be a lot of writing to the class from what I am told. This is the books I bought from Chegg.com  The Scott, Foresman Writer  ISBN: 0205751970 $22.99 UPS-Track my book Chegg World on the Edge  ISBN: 0393339491 $9.99

I can not think of anything exciting to write, but I will just say I am so hoping that I can start classes this month Jan. I really do not want to have to wait. But if I can not I will work more so I will not get bored at home. Update: Well, the lady I was suppose to talk to about classes at BVU was not in today. The way that it looks I might have to wait until March to start back up at taking classes. Oh well, what is eight weeks but time. I sure hope I can get a BA in Human Services, Because I do not like having to work weekends or  feeling like I am working to make someone else rich, I  like helping people but not that way. Wal- Mart is a hard company to work for. They expect you to be there even if you are under Doctor's orders to stay home. This to me is not right, what is sick leave for if you  can  not use it when you are sick, And why do you have to risk you life or vehicle when it is recommended by the national weather people to stay off the roads if at all ...

I hope everything will work out so I can go back to BVU starting in Jan. 2016. Did some checking and chegg.com does have textbooks at  reasonable prices. One can either rent or buy. I hope to be able to get the 7 day free ebook while I am waiting for  the two textbooks. The courses that are offer at BVU at the Marshalltown location runs for 8 week terms. I hope to get started in January, for I really do not want to have to wait until March. I will know Monday. But if I have to wait, I have to wait. I know the final decision is in God's hands.
