Appeared to be asleep in class at school in the mornings

 during junior high and high school 

I sat in class

so tired due to being nocturnal and having "insomnia"

my head resting sideways in my hand

quiet 

sitting in the chair

awake but not really 

sleeping with eyes open

teacher called on me some times to answer a question and 

thought i was asleep and didn't know 

and i answered the questions with ease

because i knew them and

learned quite well

paid/paying attention 

easily and

quickly rapidly soaking up the information 

even though they mistakenly believed I had no clue 

Does this mean skip college and university for me?

I can float right through this stuff

Each man I have been with has blocked stood in my way denying me further advanced education and ability to obtain a degree in anything.. coming up with invalid reasons/excuses each time.  

so now one person like me can participate in online schooling and if I wanted to I can do this slowly and surely obtaining any degree I want 

Let's play a word game I said to him. Say anything that comes to mind.

Let's play a word game I said to him. Say anything that comes to mind.

I said hot. He said cold

I said love. He said hate
He said fire. I said ice

I said compete. He said "I don't know what to say.
What is the opposite?"
I said cooperate or collaborate.
He said all I could think of was noncompete or not compete.

Thank you, I said, you just enlightened me as to how
people think. This explains why when one person says something, the
other person thinks of the opposite.

I said Did you know what my favorite subject was in school?
He didn't answer. English. I made
straight A's in it and I am still learning this language. I don't think
I will learn all of the words in my lifetime. It's an ongoing process.

He said, Yes people think in opposites like left right.

I taught my grandson this way, using opposite words/contrasts.
Side to side. Up down. Light dark. Hot cold.
Forward/back. (Push it forward, pull it back when he pushed the
2 wheeler dolly on the patio when he was a year old.)
I taught both of my sons this way.
This is probably how my mom, dad and grandma and grandpa taught me
as well as society taught me how to learn.

I told him I write down words all of the time. Lists of things.
Clusters. Snowball thinking clusters. I will make a new post of
that type of thinking.  Negative, positive, neutral.

Difference between a screw and a bolt

difference between a screw and a bolt
Finally learned this tonight from my husband
after he lost a screw in the humidifier

He said a screw has a slot at the top and you need to use
a screwdriver. You need to use a wrench for a bolt.
So it's screw driver for a screw, wrench for a bolt. How easy.

all this time I thought the threads in it meant it was a screw
