Hello Beauti and Spice! Welcome to our little tea room!

Elmira and I have been sitting here chatting a bit. The others are around somewhere. I think probably spending more time in the event rooms right now, but they'll be back again after the event.

You're looking very elegant.

Oh, thank-you most kindly! I dressed like this for Day of Silence yesterday, and I didn't quite feel like changing my outfit.
You lok rather adorable yourself, like a gardener with a green thumb and a way with animals!

Nope, thank-you, straight tea is what I like! *sips* Except Oolong tea, I always need that sweetened. It's much too strong for me to take plain!

Hello again. Sorry I disappeared for a bit. Real life caught up with me.

I didn't know about the day of silence.

What was supposed to happen yesterday? Were we supposed to observe silence during a specific time? What was the reason for the day?

Granny- It's a day wherre one is silent throughout the school day to call attention to the harassment and bullying of gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender students. ^^ Some very dear friends of mine are gay or lesbian, and I hate seeing them get made fun of for loving who they love. It simply isn't right!

That's a rather harsh expectation. An entire day without speaking is too much to ask for in my opinion. Most jobs require speaking.

I suspect that most employers didn't give their employees a choice.

Couldn't they have thought of something a bit simpler, like wearing a ribbon?

It's more of a school thing than a work thing, since it focuses more on students. ^^; I personally enjoyed not speaking for a day, it sort of showed me the value of a word. Though I can understand why one would think it's harsh, many of my friends did not participate simly because not speaking was too hard for them. I can't say I blame them!

Yeah! But Some teachers seem to not respect it, because one of my friends told me that in one of her class everyone was quite and the teacher got mad.

My school didn't as a whole, I fear, me and a few other students did it on our own. We live in a very conservative area. But I do know of many schools that did, and I'l glad that attention is being called to the issue. :)

Andyway, a bit of a swing in the subject, I fear, but how is your newest grandbaby?
