Oh sure, now the stupid Xanga editor works no problem, but when I’m pressed for time… ooooooh no…. Sorry for the missed post yesterday, but Xanga was not cooperating. I swear it’s things like this that make me consider jumping ship… but there’s the whole “I paid for lifetime membership” thing, not to mention I have so many people here that I would miss terribly.
So your five unfeatured questions for the week are below.

Answer any one or all of these questions in the coming week. I try to mix the whimsical with the serious here, so hopefully there is at least one question here for everyone.
March 10th
(no holy days yesterday)
The Ibo people of Nigeria consider this day the last of the year. This is also a Siamese New Year.
This is the first Day and Night of the Farvardigan, the Ten Days of the Dead, a Persian festival lasting ten days (the 10th to 20th). These days should be spent in deeds of charity, religious banquets (gasan), and ceremonies in memory of the dead. This holy day honors the Fravashis of the ancient Persians who appear to be similar to the Manes of Rome.
Ishtar is honored in Babylon, as is the Syrian and Graeco-Roman Astarte, Aphrodite, and Venus.

Have you subbed to the Xanga Team? They usually give people a heads-up when there’s going to be maintenance issues on the site.
Speaking as a teacher, students should NOT be in school year-round. For god’s sake, can’t we get a few weeks of peace?!?!?!
@heidenkind - Yup, I’m subbed and nothing was said about downtime. On the other hand, it might just be due to my rotten dialup. I really have to spring for a better connection one of these days.
As for year round school, I disagree with you… but that’ll be my next post so…
@harmony0stars - I was actually kidding… sort of.
@heidenkind -
I know. For one thing, you don’t even teach grade school level. What would you care if the little urchins went year round. Keep the little potential delinquents off the street. lol
@harmony0stars - Yeah, I don’t trust kids; they need to be kept busy as much as possible. lol
When are we going to get our next reading for Reader’s Refuge?
@heidenkind - I posted it.. Happy Friday the 13th BTW.
@harmony0stars - Oh yeah… I knew there must be a reason I was posting all those horror movies.
