So more wins than losses, is that correct, Mr D'Artagnan (and may I remind you that you are still under oath)?
My family exchanged presents for Christmas, that was it. My wife’s family used to have a celebration and buy presents for something like someone mowing their law. I’m not like that.
My family is not a material possessions group, Mrs. BCs family is very materialistic.
If you can't write a fricken paper, you aren't ready for college. I know, another "back in the day" story, but back in the day you couldn't pass our high school English classes if you couldn't write a paper.

He's from another country. I can understand some struggle to an extent.
That said, it's another way that this crooked adjunct system fails him. Whether he needed a punitive/corrective approach or someone to come alongside and help him out, that wasn't available here.
On the punitive side, I would usually take him aside, show him the error of his ways and run him through the disciplinary process to learn through pain. Since DMACC scheduled me to be unpaid until December, I spent 50+ hours a week working other jobs so we could pretend to scrape by. That meant no time to deal with that, so I did it through a note and tried to give him another shot (which never works for any background).
I also would usually offer to meet with him outside of class, but my adjuncting situation took that out of the picture. I couldn't go down during the day, because work, and I couldn't meet before class because rev works, so he's on his own there.
I'll recommend a full-time instructor to him on the basis that he needs some kind of extra help, whichever side that help falls on. Working with an adjunct does him no favors, and the school itself doesn't care. They're just taking the money.

1-10 Christmas vacation.
All say IMG so I’m going that there is only one image.

Worldwide. There just aren't many Canadians. Maybe it's not so much a language barrier. It may just be that they are always slurring their words.
I got all these right when I replied and I still couldn't see the images. It did show the answers though.Guess these Christmas movies based on still-shots. Answers at the bottom.

All of the images show up on my computer in my post and in all of your quotes
But the French accent is kinda cool, in a romantic sort of way.
Dead time so I flipped on the TV and skimmed a few news stations for half an hour, reminded me again why I stopped watching them several years ago. Since I finished Reprisal, gotta find something new.
Just saw a commercial that made me laugh at what wasn’t expected. Zycam or something like that. Thought it was odd that it had 4 out of five people in it who were gingers. Thought how do you find that many without looking for them. Then I realized they had to be looking for them since the orange hair matched the orange product box and background. Wonder if they asked the AA guy if he would don orange hair for it?
I can't see anything either. I will likely be failing your quiz.
All of this Christmas gift giving talk made me realize I still have some Christmas shopping left to do. Checked off a new travel bag (for me). Checked off new phone (for me). Checked off the ISU bowl game (for me). To be shopped, new laptop (for me). To be shopped, new iron skillets (for me). To be shopped, mo' wine (for me). Most of the stuff just comes wrapped in an Amazon box which is cool since I don't have a tree to put them under anyway.
Just more stuff for you all to come get when I drop dead running on the track later today. The suitcase will probably be on the porch in a snow covered Amazon box later today. Car keys are in the dresser drawer. You'll have to torch open the gun safe, pretty sure BCC was safe cracker at some point in his career and knows how to operate a torch. There is a box of Santa chocolates on the kitchen counter you might drop in the mail to my niece for me. When you're done just set the place on fire on you're way out.

Dibs on the wine. I'm pretty sure that I just went into the bathroom on the 4th floor and came out on the 3rd floor. I think that means that I could use a break.All of this Christmas gift giving talk made me realize I still have some Christmas shopping left to do. Checked off a new travel bag (for me).
