]]> Comment on Things I’ve Learned Update by Your Mom's Cousin http://lntaylor.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/things-ive-learned-update-2/#comment-81 Your Mom's Cousin Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:35:54 +0000 http://lntaylor.wordpress.com/?p=56#comment-81 Hi Leah, I love your blog and can't wait to see your dress. Maybe it will start a trend in the family. Loie can take a pattern off a dress like a pro. I've seen her do it. I taught briefly once, to adults. What a fun challenge. I finally learned how to get them to be quiet while I'm talking by stopping abruptly and pointedly staring at the talkers until they finally became aware that the whole class was waiting on them. They'd get a little embarrassed and be good from then on. Does it work on kids? Seems I stole it from a 4th or 5th grade teacher. Waaay back in my subconscious. I learned it/remembered it toward the end of my stint so didn't get to use it much. Which is too bad because I often fantasized about the snarky little things I could use to drive home the point. Like, "Excuse me, was I talking while you were interrupting", or some other comment that I just never seem to think of on the spur of the moment. Best regards from Arizona Hi Leah,

I moved to SA a few years ago and am working as an ecologist at the University of Pretoria. I'm definitely keen to meet some of the PC volunteers in the area because, frankly, I'm a little starved for Americanism, and I'm sure you guys have a very different perspective of SA that I'd love to hear about.
