Kids are stupid. That's why they're in school.
I'd lecture for an hour about percentages & interest rates, and at the end, I'd ask one simple question:
"You put $10,500 in the bank for one year at 5.5% interest, and what do you get?"
Some kid would always yell out "A toaster!"

you've got to file that away and use it again - all those old sayings get lost if you don't (hope you don't have to use it any time soon tho )

This is why I love old people - I love language as much as I love stories.

Even when I was a kid I remember getting taught to fish by a man who fought in the 1916 Rising and Civil War. My Canadian uncles were full of stories about making their living during the 20s and 30s...

Caity - The saying seems to have found its way here through various forms over the years. The 17th C one was the earliest I could find (on a quick search) but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back much further - there's a definite pre-Christian feeling to it.

“The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.” – Sir Richard Burton

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever Gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of Circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of Chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


- Invictus (William Ernest Henley, 1875)

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.

~Jane Howard
