Not new, but...

Well, I'm not new, but I've re-registered as Theoden. Yikes, all the old threads are gone? Still looking for newts. Good to see the new board. Very attractive.

Thank you Theoden!! I also posted a welcome aboard for you. I think we'll work on transferring the old information over gradually, but Carl also did link over the articles which are still a great library of professional information for us all. Very happy you made it.

alright! good to see you aboard! how's school going? have missed you my friend! have missed our conversations regarding critters! have toy seen my "pond"? have treefrogs uo the wazoo! they are so cool! like chamelions - light green to gray to brown....anyway, glad to have you back! your knowledge and contributions are always enjoyed and welcomed!

[theoden]

Thanks for the warm welcome. School is fine: just missed three days for Gustav (I live in LA). Now, it looks as though Ike may be targeting LA as well. Still looking for newts for my school aquarium (they were in all the stores not long ago and now there are none to be found).

Welcome Back!

Actually you are one of the orginal members of the old EA Forum, so it is really nice to see you here! ;D

The threads themselves can only be moved if the author would like to "move" them here by pasting so as to keep the topic going, or simply just re-start the topic.

Hi Theoden. Glad to hav eyou on the new board. I am actually in school. I'm an 11 grader. Far from a 5th grader bit it still counts. Wish I knew more about newts...

[theoden]

Hi, Goldenpuon! Nah, you can get quite far in life without learning about newts. I just had some once, and they lived so long, they became family. I'll probably have to buy some fish. Just can't wait any longer for newts.

Congrats on getting to the 11th grade. You have notebooks, why not a newtbook?

[murdock6701]

good one doc, no wonder you are a teacher! however, no newts is good newts.....

[theoden]

Aaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhhh ;D

good clean one to tell the class my friend - keeps these kids in wonder no matter what it takes - I respect what you do! you're molding the next generation to keep us all alive! especially w/ the environment - I DO NOT want to get political, just am jealous you're a teacher......I wish I had pursued that - I'm an engineer sometimes wishing I was a teacher - really loved that age when I coached.....miss it.....don't have quite enough for the BA in education - have 2-1/2 kids in college right now - LOL - really glad your back! I'll keep an eye out for newts when I'm out back doing firewood - found a huge black salamander w/ yellow spots a few years back in October while bow hunting - keep up the good work

[babygeige]

Yay, glad you made the switch, Theoden!

welcome back......we are growing....woo hoo

[theoden]

So happy to be a part of a growing board. My Tolkien board, though once busy has come to a standstill. Even though Tolkien is not in vogue right now, aquarial fish and other animals are always interesting.

I've decided that if I can't get newts this month, I'll go and get some fish. Maybe different loaches (with the clown loach being my favorite--though the weather loach has a lot of character). ;D Bought some Venus flytraps today. Hope to keep them alive. They're small, probably need to catch some gnats (there aren't any gnats in the classroom). Suggestions?

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, and Murdock, our country needs good teachers (who are willing to abide being relatively poor). An engineer would make a great math teacher! All you need is a love for kids and a desire to leave your influence with them.

[murdock6701]

you're welcome for the warm welcome, but IMO people like you are what we need to keep the young going in the right direction! thank you for the compliment - I have 2-1/2 in college right now so it kinda prohibits me from getting my teaching degree.....no worse for the wear - plenty of volunteer work to do if I only had the time....not complaining! I admire you for what you do - soeday I WILL get to that but I try to practice it everyday - each day a learning experience - if not, you wasted a day! keep up the good work! wish I had time to find and send you newts!

[theoden]

Just the thought is enough. Thanks!
