IMPRINTING
Your last post motivateD me to write. We had a scientist IN URUGUAY BY THE NAME OF Rodolfo Talice. He was a PhD in medicine and a doctor in Animal Behavior. HE DIED IN 2001 AT THE AGE OF 100 . He was A friend of Conrad Lorenz, father of Ethology and creator of the concept of "imprinting". He told me about an experiment with plants similar to the one you talked ABOUT IN YOUR LAST POST. THE Plants WERE afraid of the hand that was going to cut them!
Also, talking about music, in the town where my father was from, is a milk farm WHERE the cows listen TO Strauss music. They said the cows produce much more milk when they listen to the music.

Lakale,
I am happy that you are motivated, but don't go too crazy because my class has not read my Beethoven post yet, and I don't want to see it "buried" so far back that they can't find it! (I will correct your other story soon.-----I promise.) Some of those Ghana peole you talked about are coming to my church--all dressed up in costume!!!
SORRY, I forgot that the other writing get buried. I didn't copy this text!!
I love the African;s costume.
Lakale,
Do you mean I did not give you time enough to make a copy of yur original story? If so, please forgive me. I was too much in a hurry, I guess.
Why do suppose we use the term "costume?" Do we thnk of what we wear in America as "costume"? It's kind of an odd term to use. If we were visiting Africa, would they say, "The Americans are coming and they'll be in their American costumes?"
Just some fuel for thought... <--- idiom meaning something to think about

Catherama----I have seen you in your "costume". Didn't you have a job once where you wore one?....Serously though, you are right, I guess, poor choice of words. I should have said colorful GARMENTS. "Costumes" are for Halloween.
Lakale,
I notice on my FEEDJIT map that I have lost my visitor that I had from Mntevideo, Uruguay. Right now there are no red dots from Sout America at all! We must be boring them, or they all know how to speak English!
I am sorry teacher, your visitor from Uruguay are too busy with a 10 month old baby, work, university, looking for a house to live in Montevideo, and also enjoying the beautiful beach of Punta del Diablo. They have a rule, inside home only English, outside home Spanish, so they keep the language and teach the baby both languages.
