Snacker

I love working as a history teacher. Of course where I work I am teaching several classes at one time. Just in one class at the same time.

Almost need to have some Phentermine so I will not feel like eating.

The worst thing I can is start snacking. As snacking is never good. of course i am writing this as I pop a jelly bean in my mouth.

Have a most happy day

Learning From the Past

I always like going on ebay. There are many great things that are for sale that one cannot get anywhere else.

I was able to buy some authentic civil war newspapers. These are great to read through. A was motivated to look for such things, because a friend had a paper from the day after John Wilkes Booth was hung.

IT is always amazing at how much you can learn.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch, CHANGES

I am always wondering how things have progressed.When we look at social history, we have to include the Internet. I used to have a friend who made lots of money as a travel agent. Now all anyone has to do is type in flight deals and bamm they are their own travel agent.

The only time I used a travel agent was in the Army and that was becasue I had to. I mean I was forced to.

However, I wonder about places like book sellers. Look at Amazon, as the prime example, anyone can sell a used book. As long as you are willing to pay 3.95 shipping, it is yours.
