Dealing with disapproval

<p>A Prom Card is most likely the same as a dance card.</p>

<p>For keeping track of who a girl dances with: [Dance</a> card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_card]Dance”>Dance card - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>how proper…
thanks drae, now I can sleep.</p>

<p>thanks smarty… ohhhh I now know which era you grew up! careful careful!
I did googled the keys and it seems they are same square holes. Did you ever tried your friends’ key?
what I admire about US is looong broom sticks.
when I saw someone unscrew push broom head from the stick he cleaned the wood with, then screwed in paint roller handle onto it as an extention then start priming the board I was amazed and had to ask
“how do you know that it fits like that?”
" shouldn’t everybody? "
America is a mystery. There must be lots more I don’t know but should know.
Or broomsticks universally comes off and fit roller handle or other detachable devices in Africa, Europe, even in Japan ? but I was too enlightened to know that?
I don’t know but want to believe it’s an American thing, like OshKosh’s striped overall. </p>

<p>ok ok go back to topic, please.</p>

<p>Bears, you always end up knowing more than me about everything. I thought you were wrong about Carson, and had her mixed up with Harper Lee, but then I googled it.</p>

<p>I only read Heart is a Lonely Hunter, and Ballad of Sad Cafe, my S has read all of it. </p>

<p>I think prom card in this context is promenade card, you sign up to walk around the block with someone…</p>

<p>for skate key think allen wrench…I had those skates…</p>

<p>walk around? what’s for? to show off your date? how fun, do tell more !!! (tail waggin’)</p>

<p>^harper lee !!! don’t even make me start with her… one of the reasons i am holding up here in Yorkville is she is rumored to live around the block part time keeping her old apartment still.
There is this crazy grandma on 86th street, there is this one in the next building…that could be HER!
Awww how everything is magical… where Lou Gehrig grew up, where beat poets hanged around, I have this lady in ground floor I call “Holy Golightly” she is a funny lady and I did hear her talking to the cop came to investgate broke-in she had
" well, I have many customers, let’s see…" tillted pretty head. awww</p>

<p>Mick and the prom card
thank you switters, now I understand what kids were doing. She got first prom(nade?) and did walk around the block in the book. </p>

<p>Holden and the skate key
He said if anyone would hand him a skate key in pitch dark 50 years from now, he would still know what it is.
It was 1945.(published 50?) now is 65 years later. Holden would have been 82 or 83? from the view point of the youth in 40s, it must be as old-sh age as 50 years later considering prolonged life span. of course, the author died recently. The boy died with him, before anyone could hand him the skate key since he was hiding away.</p>

<p>the other recluse - Harper Lee
I am tempted to make T-shirts saying " if you are Nelle, I just want to say thank you no won’t bother you I promise" and we’d wear it in and around neighborhood in hope of she would see it before it’s too late.</p>

<p>^^^nice idea!</p>

What?! Anyone who says art school is about technical skills and not conceptual skills knows less than nothing about art school! I’m a RISD grad and we had some assignments like “Mason Dixon.” That was the assignment. No explanation. The point was to address the concept as you interpreted it and then defend/explain your interpretation as embodied by your project (this was a 3d class). It was great fun and intriguing to see what people came up with, which is probably why I still remember that one homework assignment from freshman year. Art school is all about conceptual skills - a large part of art school consists of critiques where we openly discuss each other’s work and explain our choices and make suggestions about other ways the project could have approached or how a particular solution could be improved. It’s a great way to develop thinking-outside-the-box skills,

Six year old thread…

I wouldn’t waste time with people who don’t understand what art is and why someone would want to work in the arts.

It is more important that your daughter learn to ignore what these people say.

I think that much of my eldest daughter’s success was that she ignored 99% of the “advice” people gave her. She is a successful painter and does have a wonderful career.
