People in other countries do not chose to learn English, they HAVE to learn it in school
for a period of 8 to 12 years.
She'd like to learn something new to cook. There was a negative response to her inquiry
and I just wanted to smooth it over and give out a pretty good recipe. I've been making a similar recipe for about 35 years, growing my own veggies, fruits, canning and freezing food.
We're not here to make each other feel like crumbs. Please try to be nice.  Cat

Well, hello, learn something new each day
my daughter came by tonight to eat some collards and black-eyed peas (money and luck here "supposedly" in the south for this next year and darn if she didn’t tell me she has floaters and have had them for years (she is 34). I was talking about asking the people on the MTs if they knew of any treatment. I thought was sorta an older type deal but apparently found something new today.
You sure do learn something new every day in this biz!

We can also learn from...
We can also learn from other countries' histories and examples -- like Turkey. Today, mass demonstrations in Turkey protesting Islamist government influences and demanding secular law. And we can also learn MUCH from England. NY Times reports that Muslim Sharia laws are now in effect in 3 municipalities near London. On the British version of our "Sixty Minutes" show, a local Muslim cleric's response to the interviewer was: "Who SAYS Britain belongs to the English?!" No, the U.S. has the most liberal immigration policies in the world but certainly common sense and fair play should prevail. "Gratitude'' and ''tolerance'' for one's homeland do NOT equal acquiescence to people here illegally. Nor does ''gratitude'' and ''tolerance'' mean simply handing over one's country to those who want to relocate here but then attempt to turn this country into a replica of THEIR birthplace -- with very little return ''tolerance'' for the ways of the natives already here. Yes--natives--People and descendants of people who came here legally, lived, worked, and built this country, generation after generation, and adopted their NEW country's ways. Not insisting that people be ''tolerant''of their attempts to turn their new homeland be a replica of the country they left.
Learn to say NO
I know it's tough when it's your own dad, but hasn't he burnt you enough already? Lock your door and don't answer it. If he catches up to you and asks you to let him hang out or do his laundry, say NO. Enough is enough.
Good luck.
You have to learn to say
no, grow a backbone and. Others only take advantage of you because you are letting them. The children should be helping you out because you have age on you and yet you are being a doormat for them. What would they do if you died? Tell them no way and stick to it, otherwise you have no life to call your own.
Learn some Spanish
This whole thread in my opinion has been blown out of proportion. While living in California, I saw an attitude with SOME of the so called minority races who felt that they were "owed something." I was raised in the Midwest, and grew up in a family that did not tolerate prejudice against any race in any way, shape or form. However, as I grew older, I began to see things in the corporate world that were definitely not in the favor of the white American. I for one, have become fed up with calling a company and speaking to a customer service representative from India or elsewhere, who gives a name like "Dave, John or Mike" and you know definitely that is not their name. Plus the fact that they can barely understand English and as a consumer, I cannot understand what they are saying. We have a LOT of older Americans now with computers and the newer technology, and think about them trying to understand someone who can barely speak English.
I am also a relative newcomer to the Miami area and again, as I mentioned before, I was raised in the Midwest, where even the Hispanics and other minorities that I was raised around learned to speak English. If for example, you or I moved to France or Germany, we would be expected to learn to at least speak the language to a certain degree and that is the point that I am trying to make here -- when one moves to America, they need to learn to speak ENGLISH and it should not be the other way around.
She needs to learn about safe sex. Either you SM
discuss this with her or, better yet, see doctor and have her given some form of birth control. I think this is imperative. If she is having sex, I don't think she is going to stop. You somehow have to convince her to act responsibly. Condoms would be the best thing.
I know kids have to learn, but this seems
Hang in there. When my son was 5, he went in a little country store and helped himself to some Skittles. When his dad made him take them back in and explain he had not paid for them, the lady told him "that's okay, you can have them". We could have killed her. HA! We explained to him that this was serious and the lady was being nice, etc. etc. Hang in there and be sure your son realizes this isn't funny, this is serious. If you have to pay the $100, make him pay you back somehow. Good luck.
You'd think she'd learn from seeing all her sister is going through - NM

you can only learn if you have a brain

I think it means you are still willing to learn (sm)
Something I have noticed about being "defined" is that sometimes it gets in the way of learning something new or even correcting old cherished ideas that are really wrong.
I have come to have definite and convictions about things, but it took time and something I still do is draw contrasts with other ideas to see if I still am comfortable thinking the way I do. Some things I have become more sure of, some refined and others discarded.
If I was going to give advice, I would say to keep asking questions about things and when you get answers, analyze whether they really make sense. It sounds like that is already what you do. As you go, you will become more sure about some things you believe now and other things are yet to be discovered.
One more thing I would advise: Keep an open mind and don't discount anyone as possibly having the information you need to find what is right and true.
Yep. Use it to go to PBS and learn grammar and

I'm behind the school. Learn that what you say
Learn that you have a responsibility for what you say.
School ought to be backing up their teachers and their reputations and put brats like the student you describe right out.
I have no more tolerance for this unbridled generation coming up.
LOL!! You should try to learn to type with them ;-) nm

Want to learn how to use taser
I have a husband who travels and I am home alone a lot of the time. I want to buy and learn to use a taser. Does anyone have any information that might be useful for me?
let it out, maybe they can learn from your mistakes

I always wanted to learn
but never had anyone in my family that lived close enough to teach me. My grandma and aunt can do all that, but they live in MA and I'm in GA.
My mom never learned how to sew or cook or anything, but she can farm, fix a car engine, etc. My gram on her side never knew how to do any of those things either, unless you count stitching up wounds (she was a nurse).
But luckily I married into a family full of southern tradition and they are teaching me things like making my own jam, pies from scratch, and yes even sewing once we get moved closer to them!
child can't learn
I got in a hurry and goofed on the family relationships. Anyway, my daughter, her step-gran, and I take turns keeping her after school. My daughter's teenage son also helps with flash cards, alphabet video games, etc. He wants to be a teacher.
Very cool. Learn something new every day!..nm

Then learn how to use my tax dollars to the best advantage

As you age you will learn that a good answer
to a person asking a rude question (which this is and happens to be none of their business) is Why would you ask this- - or I have gotten to the age where I respond by Why would you ask such a rude question? No one has the right to ask you things like this so respond appropriately. You do not owe a nice response.
did your kids learn anything about penguins?
or did you just go on and on about how boring it was. Maybe if you paid attention to the story line (and explained it to your kids) of acceptance, or how penguins live, or at least enjoyed the music, your kids would not share your opinion.
4 weddings, don't you learn by your mistakes. 1 is more than enough.
Nope, did not learn from mistakes
but I sure got it right this time, married 7 years and love the ground this guy walks on. Am glad I kept on because you know something, I have found the love of my life and if I had stopped (which thought I would do after the last person died) I would have never known such happiness and bliss.
here's a suggestion - LEARN some Spanish
Sorry you had a bad experience at Jackson but Jackson Memorial Hospital is like #16 best hospital in the country. I have friends with cancer being treated there and believe it or not, they are getting good, consistent care.
I, for one, have 2 addresses, and I would use Hollywood Memorial Hospital FIRST...it, too, is a county hospital but for Broward. Used to be that Mount Sinai Medical Center on Miami Beach was my hospital of choice in the 1980s but today it's Memorial.......in Hollywood.
As for the Hispanic community, the Hispanics are the largest minority now in the USA - there are like 50 million of them here in the USA today. ALL our ancestors came from somewhere else, unless you are a true Native American, and so practicing TOLERANCE would be in your best interests.
Just my opinion....
...trying to learn like cooking or guitar, etc.?? nm

Hi everybody,
I came across this article a few days ago and thought it might be helpful for some.

This is America. Learn English.
Why does this country make it so easy for them NOT to learn English?
This Is America. My grandparents who came from Italy learned English. They weren't "catered to" in Italian.
Now it's.... Press 1 for English 2 for Spanish.
Instructions to anything are given in both English and Spanish.
Signs all over are in written in Spanish.
We make it easy for them. Why should they learn English.
Because they spend money in this country. Is that why? They should make an effort to learn the language spoken here. JMO
Thoughts?
Not to mention when you try to make a service call, you get someone from India you can barely understand. Outsourcing, what a beautiful thing. NOT.
Sure wish he'd learn how to pronounce 'nuclear' -
Oy!
The child needs to learn to sleep alone...sm
I mean that is ridculous. Put her in the bed and turn on a lamp. Maybe put a TV in her room and let her watch something till she falls asleep. She is 9 years old. She is plenty old enough to make her sleep alone. Her dad and mom just are spoiling her.
I just think you lead them there first, and let them learn for themselves what is right or wrong (sm
If you point out everyone's sin to them before they learn about God's love, they are going to run.
May be she'll learn a lesson?
I'm glad to hear you made an official police report.
child can't learn alphabet
I have a wonderful 5-1/2 y/o (step) great-granddaughter who is in kindergarten, is extremely articulate, huge vocabulary, quick-witted, and smart in so many ways but she can't learn her alphabet. She thinks her name begins with a K but her initials are SLN, although there is a *k* in her middle name. She can recognize her own name when she sees it printed but only a few other words. When asked to write a small *a* she can but when asked to write a big *a* she will just print the small *a* much bigger. (We were taught decades ago to say upper/lower case or capital/small letters but anyway...). I and my husband, her granddad, and my teenage son are all trying to encourage and help her by making it fun yet important, using learning aids, etc. Her teacher has already labeled her lazy, stubborn, and uncooperative and the slowest in the class. I keep this child after school every day and I know this is not true, but my stepdaughter wants to believe this teacher. They have fairly recently moved to our town and I've only gotten to know this child well in the past 6 months, but I adore her and I know she has tremendous potential. It's a very small rural area and I know the school's rep is not the best. Suggestions, please. Is it dyslexia if she cannot recognize words? Thanks so much for any help.
Donald Trump - So I could learn from him
how to build an empire and be successful like he is. Yes I know he is going through bankruptcy and other stuff, but he always seems to bounce back and I'd like to learn from him - without being fired that is :-)
I want to learn to paint gourds. sm
Can anyone recommend some good books to buy? I did find some but would really like to know which ones to buy first. They all looked great.

How will our daughters learn to stand up for themselves if we do not lead by example
I have always stood up for my daughter and have tried to teach her the same and now that she is getting older I can see that it is paying off. You go girl!!!!!
Ladies, how did you learn to apply makeup?
How have you changed the way you wear makeup as you have aged? What do you wear and tell me how you apply it? I've never worn makeup except for awhile in high school and I'm thinking that I'm needing some color in my face now that I've aged (what a horrid word that is!!). The thing is, I know NOTHING about it. Tell me everything I need to know so I won't end up looking like a clown!! PLEASE.
I'm sure she'll learn much more than painting and collages :-)
Congrats on the acceptance. Focus on that!! I'm sure it's an awesome school.
If everything is included, that sounds about right for a high-end good school and probably not as bad as it seems right now. Look at it this way, it's one less Value Meal you have to buy once a week (or more?LOL).
Lose weight and learn to socialize. I

You really need to learn to read before answering posts
She NOR her husband initiated this contact - it is related to sports. Don't insult people when you yourself don't have all the facts. It makes you look like a foolish bully.
Learn to speak your partner's love language.
For example, when my husband does things around the house for me (acts of service), I really feel loved by him, so he makes it a point to do those things. He, on the other hand, is a 'touch and affection' kind of guy, so when I wrap my arms around him, stroke his hair, etc., he really feels loved by me. It's hard for me, because I'll do things for my husband all the time and think I'm showing my love, but since that's not his love language, it does nothing for him.
Oh, I agree. Did no one learn about plurals in elementary school??
