Walton Co. School Board Meets about Blithe Spirit!!

[questor]

Wasn't mead more from the Vikings than the Bible? (I've only read about wine in the Bible...)

......"

Not to get picky but I must defend my knowledge, NoHall. Mead is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages known to man. There is plenty of evidence of it having been used in Biblical times.

"In Biblical times, the secret to a happy marriage was nothing more than a honey-based alcoholic drink.

Newly-weds were encouraged to drink mead every night for one lunar month after they tied the knot. The fruits of their so-named honeymoon would then appear nine months later, in the form of a bouncing baby."

And if anyone is interested in the recipe:


Types of Mead
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]Cyser[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]Cyser is a combination of honey and apple cider. This is the strong drink of Biblical times. Both the honey and the cider will ferment to a clean dry wine which makes a great sparkling wine when primed with corn sugar or honey when bottled[/SIZE][/FONT]


But I get your point. As I am sure you got mine. And this sub-plot does nothing to further our cause. I apologize for the reference. Let's just stick to references from "The Song Of Solomon"

Great post, Dune Ahh

Are you sure you don't want to teach, or maybe run for the school board??

Thankyou NDY.
My fanciful sort of teachings are best left outside the formal classroom ... somewhere outside near the 1/2 Moon House !

I say the EFF Word too much to be a teacher... so one day I'll probably become the EFF Word, Grasshopper!!!

News Flash from the news group I belong to - at the school board meeting last night, Darrell Barnhill was elected the new chairman.

However, in the good news department, the board did vote to begin holding regular meetings in different places around the county. The first regular meeting each month will be held in DeFuniak as usual. The second regular meeting will be rotated - definitely between SoWal and Mossy Head, I think Paxton as well.

This is bad bad news for our school system. This man voted to ban a work of literature from the curriculum, not just ban a play from the school. He took a bad step over the line. Thanks for the info- looks like we will have to double our efforts. Wow, Happy Thanksgiving to us.

I'm not sure I had a point about the mead. I just always thought it was a later development. (But I'll let you in on a little secret--I don't actually know everything. Yet.)

Yeah, right JDarg. Happy Thanksgiving while you can. That man might even ban it next! And watchout for Santa Claus. His days are numbered in more way than how many shopping days left till....
The Walton County School Board is getting a bad reputation. Mark Davis was the best man (person) on it!
Why is it that the people most affected BY the School Board have NO say in it?:angry:

Good Lord. Personally, I hope they DO protest Harvey. As we've had to alter it to the point that it borders on fluff, there's simply nothing to protest. Maybe they'll discredit themselves enough that the school board will see what a ridiculous farce (there's that word again!) this is and they'll have to leave us alone.

I am confused on this. I thought the School Board was an appeal body that decided to ultimately NOT ban the material. The system is broke in that the play was disrupted while all of the appeals were happening. But it seemed to me that the system actually worked.

Could you further explain the last comment? It seems I get lost easily on some of these threads.

Quote from Article: Bad Santa ... Santa Clauses in shopping centres across Australia have been told to replace "ho ho ho" with "ha ha ha" because the traditional hearty bellow might frighten shoppers' children

-----------------

:roll:We're raising an entire generation of whooses!

Back in olden days, Santa would scare the livin' hell out of us kids...it gave our parents some ammo to keep us in line by saying, "You kids better be good or Santa is gonna bring you coal!" This worked for the timeframe from Thanksgiving through Christmas....after that it took Dad making the move to start unbuckling his belt.
