I suspect Dagmar often pulls blows against living partners. She'll beat the pells up something fierce.

She also pulls strength when going for precision.

Probably. 🙂

She is working on control. 🙂

Less holding back on the "adults"

Adults need smacking

she's less afraid of hurting them, since they usually block her

One day one of them will botch. That should be interesting 🙂

Yeah

"Vali, where's your nose?" "In du nex yard"

OH

and pop-tarts for the basselope!

HA! Noted! 🙂

think Zara will like that chess set? 🙂

likely, yes

Not sure if she's team Mary or Elizabeth, though

Neither is Leo, but she figures that's going to be Zara's problem

No reason you can't play both sides, see which appeals more....

Now if it were the Borgias against their rivals 😉

Holy fuck, many of my students are beyond clueless.

"In this essay will compare the difference between Sole Proprietorship."

I get the feeling there should be an 'and' there

we'll would help too

And maybe something to compare it to?

Hey, Rae.

So this week sucks balls. Trying to catch up on backlogged grading, and my own final paper is due Thursday. VERY limited availability, and PBEM will be slow.

Understood. I will try not to tantalize you

I had one of my students turn in an 8 page paper

7 of which were credulously (and without attribution) laying out anti-Stratfordian authorship conspiracies, and the last was 'ha ha, but Shakespeare was probably Shakespeare"

and like, I don't even know how to start grading that pile of mushy nonsense

Oh, trust me, I'm entirely too tantalized just by imagining what RP I might be missing at any given moment. whimper

If you want I will try to be boring this week.

noooooooooooo

Easy, Cat. Search for the sources of a suspect quote, and ding 'em for plagiarism. Zero. Done.

Zara got to be Miss Marple!

Oh?

I don't think she meant to plagiarize, I think she's just stupid.

I honestly think this is a good effort for her.

Ugh. Well...If the argument is entirely supporting one claim but she espouses the opposite at the end (not just as a counterclaim), then I'd give it no more than a C. But that's just me.

I'm a bitch.

For me, I don't care if they didn't mean to plagiarize. If they did it, they did it. Done.

Mr. D, funny that Olgar mentions the singing while fighting...that was how I was taught to use spear. Otherwise, I tend to hold my breath and over-brace.

Ha. Did it help?
