Since when do you like the land before time, boss?

Petrie. · **Reply #2 on:** August 11, 2009, 10:21:21 AM

Since age 4.

Original was my favorite. Did watch some of the sequels, but never liked them as much as the original film.

Next question please!

I'm a special education teacher. I work with adolescents, and teach them things like global history, social skills, life skills, and personal health. This year will mark my second year at my job.

If only my students would ask how to get bonus credit.

I think a pat on the back will suit you just fine.

Was the Gang of Five your first attempt at a website?

Hmmm...probably would have to be something at the Olive Garden. They give you way too much food--bread, salad, huge bowls of pasta. There's no way you can leave without doggie bags.

Shades of green.

Reminds me of camping and bygone summers...actually that just made me sad..

Here's the thing...the GOF isn't a website...its a message board. To answer your specific question, the GOF is not my first attempt at a message board either. I think I wrote it in the history of the GOF, what attempts were made before the GOF actually caught on and you have the place you come to today. This place just didn't come out of thin air and click...I ran at least two message boards before the GOF, three if you count the immediate predecessor of the GOF. As for websites, I've had many over the years. The only one that is still online and maintained by myself, is my Watership Down review site at http://watershipper.googlepages.com Austin put up the old LBT Archive which I used to run and maintain, and that was the parent site to this board for a couple of years.

Next questions please.

Do you like Star Trek?

Petrie. · **Reply #11 on:** August 12, 2009, 12:51:52 PM

Nope, don't watch it. Saw the latest film because I was persuaded with " you don't need to understand Star Trek to understand the film" and that was correct for the most part.

Next question please!

Pollen, pine, zythromax (some medicine I forgot what it did

), and there's one local restaurant that puts some spice in their red sauce that caused a break out once. Fish oil or some sort of seafood protein makes me very ill, but I don't think this is an allergy.

Darn right I would...I'm hungry!!!!

What's your favorite season?

Spring - no, pollen makes me sneeze, and nasal passages swell

Summer - too hot and humid for my liking
Winter - screw the other "s" word, hate driving in the stuff

So autumn is my favorite...not too warm or cold, I can deal with the inclement weather, and plants go into hibernation so I don't sneeze as much.

Next questions please.

What made you want to be a special ed teacher?

Just from someone that has LDs, I think that's awesome.

Petrie. · **Reply #17 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:03:56 PM

Would the answer surprise you that I initially did not want to be a special ed. teacher? I really didn't. I wanted to teach history, but that by itself was not very marketable. I decided that I should get a background in special education because a lot of schools in the area integrate these students into the general education setting, thus the teacher would need an understanding of how to get through to these students as well. That was the plan, but I ended up using my special ed. skills to get the position I currently hold. Granted the position is unique in itself, I like where I am, and I don't know if I'd want to teach history in a general ed setting. I can be a little more creative where I am, and teach a more wide variety of things, something I wasn't likely to be doing in a general ed. setting. Granted its more work for me, but its a little bit of a lot of different things. Keeps you on your feet.

Next questions please.

Amaranthine · **Reply #18 on:** August 12, 2009, 10:23:41 PM

No, it didn't surprise me at all. I would take any answer just as it was. The answer.

I still think it's cool.

What are your favorite Disney movies? (I think you said something about being a mega Disney fan, though I could be wrong.

: )

Petrie. · **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2009, 10:32:05 AM

Yes, I am a mega-Disney fan. Favorites are tough because if you're a mega-fan, you kind of like them all if you get what I mean.

It wouldn't be easy to pick one over the other. I really have liked Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, and Bambi. Its too tough to call...I probably wouldn't refuse to sit down and watch any Disney movie you gave me.

Next questions please.
