Answer a Question with a Question...

[hollydolly]

But can you even read?

 

[Kaila]

Yes, but, Do you mean ;
can I read anything longer than a 1 or 2 sentence post,
on a forum page like this one, on a message board?

 

[Pink Biz]

If you can't even read why should I respond to you?

 

[Kaila]

Do you have clear memories of reading when you were a young child, like I do?

 

[mike4lorie]

you read like a young child?

 

[Rosemarie]

Did your parents teach you to read before you started school?

 

[hollydolly]

Do you remember your first day at school ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Yes, I asked my mother why the other children were crying. Did you cry on your first day?

 

[hollydolly]

I did exactly the same thing.. wondered why all the other children were crying, I wasn't, I also remember it was raining ... but that's the only thing I remember of my first day..what about you ?

 

[Rosemarie]

I don't remember the weather. Do you remember being taught 'I'm a little tea-pot'?

 

[Kaila]

Did you learn to read spontaneously on your own, as some children do,
without parents or teachers having taught you?

 

[Rosemarie]

Are there actually children who can do that?

 

[hollydolly]

Did you teach your own children as I did, to read.. before they started school?

 

[Kaila]

Yes, Rosemarie, and sort of yes, Holly; as I did just use a lot of language, had many books available, and I did read a lot to them, but didn't "teach" reading readiness or actual reading skills to them.... Did you know that I did teach reading, to many other children and adults, long ago?

 

[hollydolly]

has anyone worked as a volunteer in any capacity overseas?

 

[Kaila]

Yes, volunteer, but no, not overseas....

Same question, did any of you volunteer overseas?

 

[Rosemarie]

I've lived overseas for many years but don't remember volunteering for anything...so no.


Have you done any work for a charity?

 

[hollydolly]

I have volunteered when I lived overseas..I worked in a British Charity shop for about 5 years ..also my daughter and I swam a marathon 32 lengths of an Olympic sized pool non stop, for a mental health charity in this country some years ago.

Same question..

 

[Rosemarie]

Do you feel that the NHS now has charity status?

 

[hollydolly]

No....

Are you surprised by the long queues at the newly opened shops portrayed in the media today

 

[Rosemarie]

No, with social distancing in shops, it's to be expected.


Are you still finding it hard to find anti-bacterial products?

 

[hollydolly]

No... everything seems back to normal here now with reagrd to anit bacterial and anti viral things.. ...


We went to the recycle/waste centre today waited in the queue for 45 minutes .. before we could tip our garden items, ..would you wait in a queue that long to get rid of household items that won't go in your bin?

 

[Rosemarie]

Surely you wouldn't resort to fly-tipping?

 

[hollydolly]

fly tipping is not my MO, which is why I waited in a 45 minute long queue today ... would you fly tip ?

 

[Rosemarie]

Do I seem that sort of person?
