Guessing?
We can only guess at what the next new word in the dictionary might be. I am still amazed at some of the words that seem to join the lexicon world of this major tome. There are many words in this book of books that seems to add to our knowledge in many areas of living our lives. Words like 'bot' could be one of them. I think 'bot' is in this book of learning to spell and increasing vocabulary. If at times we do not know how to spell words remember what your teacher always said, "Look it up."

Teachers and Education
Another vocabulary project that I am working on is one dealing with the Foundations of education from the history to the present and all the needed information that a student of education may need. There are so many theorists from the Greeks to the present day. One must learn the past to improve the present to hopefully make the future better for all people. To educate is to make understanding not just the facts but the idea or ideas behind them. Teaching is a profession that is hard to comprehend at times for all the issues. Teaching is a calling.

The Human Brain
I am starting to research for a vocabulary textbook reviewing all the necessary vocabulary dealing with the subject of biological psychology. In other words why does the brain make us do what we do. The mind or should I say the mind is a terrible thing to waste is a phrase I heard on an old television commercial. It was either a Just Say No PSA or about some college fund. Anyway in researching I thought of this little drabble to explain my future writings. Get ready for neurons, glial cells and all you may want to know about synapses.

The Lively Art of Writing
'The Lively Art of Writing' A book on composition by Lucile Vaughan Payne. This is an academic book that I have seen read by students when I was in high school who had taken either a course known back then as Advanced Communcations or Honors English. This book was published back in 1975 when I was in upper elementary school and even though it is an older text there are a lot of exercises that can still help writers today.

What would the world do without its greatest invention known as the safety pin? First, there will be a lot of babies back in the days before disposable diapers mothers would have to figure a way to fasten their baby's diaper well, but what a hassle that would be. I guess they could use buttons. Well, for another thing when pants happen to lose a button, or a zipper is broken there would be no way of securing it closed. Wouldn't that be a hoot if caught on the outside. Then it was a good thing that it was invented.

There was a woman named Mary and for some reason she is leaving a room that meant everything to her. Then why am I leaving that is a good question for one to ask. One reason could be there was a fight that she did not want to remember, then again it could be a room that something sad occurred, but then again, the room could just be a room that one could love but seems to be feeling not just right. Could it be that she will remember this room that she loved but cannot stay there no longer.
