The Discovery, Incident Reports, and More
First off, I would like to say (belatedly) that I am very glad to the Discovery shuttle made it home safely. Although the trip had rocky points, it seems NASA feels they had success overall. Now it seems they need to get a grip on their problems with tiles. The risk factors involved in those things seem to warrant finding a new substitute for them; or perhaps better adhesive for keeping them in place.
And, on that note, I'd like to ask a simple question...what do you all think about the space program? Risks considered, should people be sent into space for scientific/exploratory reasons, or is it just too dangerous? I'm of the "it's worth it" group, while my Mom thinks it's much too risky and doesn't really help us all that much. So we butt heads about it alot. What do you all think?
In other news (let's start with the bad), I spent tonight writing up a note about incidents I've had with a mother of one of my former students; she has been reported for neglect, and it's really been a long time coming. I hate being involved, cause I had some nasty details to write about...
...but if it'll get her kids taken care of properly, it's worth it. They deserve better.
And finally...I'm working on picking a bead for something I'm working on with Kate and the gang. I know what color, and I think I know what...
...but I still want to go to the local bead store here to see if I can avoid shipping and handling. That, along with the fact I simply cannot figure out how many beads are on a 16mm strand. (they are 4mm each, so I dunno if this means there are only 4?!?) You wise bead people out there might be able to assist me in this...

It's a 16" strand. They don't come in strands as small as 16mm. There will be 100 beads on that strand. Also, those beads are going to be really small (almost like spacer beads). See if they have a similar design between 10-20mm. That's a pretty fair size, and if they're on a strand, the price shouldn't go up dramatically.
BTW, you're going to have to pay shipping if you send it from your house OR if you order from the Web. Don't know if that impacts your decision.
Kinda strange to be writing up incident reports this early in the year, no? Or does this not have anything to do with her child being in your school?
