I thought everyone called you piglet. It suits your avatar and your adorable personality so well. :) If you mind I'll call you something else.

Here's some English (well, Old English actually ;)). I took a course in that just this school year:

CCCIX - So how would you write 10000 in Roman numerals, when we get that far?

Petrarch's Love
06-06-2006, 01:50 PM
As I recall, after a certain point you put a line over a given number, which indicates that you multiply it by 1,000. So 10,000 would be X but with a horizontal line drawn over the top. I don't know how to do that though, maybe you, with your great knowledge of accent marks and such, would be able to devise a way.

10,000-9690= 310

You can maybe tell I don't exactly know what I will do next year, maybe the middle ages for history

tainaprincess

RJbibliophil
06-06-2006, 02:31 PM
318, well phy ed, home ec, music, music history, art history etc.. are courses that I will accumulate over a few years, so not really. Algebra 2, Biology, norwegian, english(hopefully), history, and that one semester lit class are probably all the credits I will finish next year.

397 Thanks! The one judge goofed up a ton, and messed up the overalls and line up for state competition. I got second for intermediate demonstrations, and then I got higher overall than the intermediate champion? And there was other messy stuff.

CCCCI I don't really care... It wasn't too bad, there was a contest last summer where it was horrid. (my opinion, though I was not involved) Anyway, I am either an overacheiver, or everyone is an underacheiver. I think it's the latter. I would do so bad if 4H was like it was 40 years ago.

Hyacinth Girl
06-08-2006, 01:00 PM
Technically 402- I think! Good morrow, PL. I just realized that I didn't answer you on the Spanish lit questions - I mainly used works by Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and Rojas, although I did some mental acrobatics and used So Juan Inez de la Cruz as a direct descendant of the Golden Age in the New World. :lol: My ultimate favorite, however, was the piqaresque novel Lazarillo de Tormes by an unknown author

CCCCIII Piglet, that's probably what the kids 40 years ago said to themselves too. ;)

Petrarch's Love
06-08-2006, 01:07 PM
405 Hyacinth--sounds like you got to work with some great Spanish material. I've read Lazarillo de Tormes in translation and remember enjoying it. I see you've posted in the Spenserian section. I'll have to go check it out, and then I've got to run. Have fun counting all. :wave:

411- Piglet, I was in 4-H when I was younger. I did needlepoint, flower gardening and horse projects

RJbibliophil
06-08-2006, 03:26 PM

414 were you a 4-Her too?

Hyacinth Girl
06-08-2006, 03:35 PM
415
For you, for America, 4-H. . . that was the little jingle they used to advertise the program when I was in it. Piglet, I was in 4-H in North Idaho. I used to have to display my projects at the Kootenai County Fair. The last year I did so, my horse decided to make a jailbreak and walked down the barn aisle, frisking people for treats until I returned from the rest room. :lol:

kathycf
06-08-2006, 03:35 PM
416--yes ma'am, 4-H for about 5 years. I grew up on a farm, so I was involved with the animals, mostly.

Awesome. I really don't know what the program's like in your states, or was like, but 4-H is 4-H. This is my 8th year in 4-H, because I started in 1st grade, with the "Cloverbud" program, which in my county is K-2 grade.

I'm sure they are different, but it's still sad I cant remember. So when is the fair in your area?

Hyacinth Girl
06-08-2006, 04:15 PM
423 - that's early! (Hey, I made a rhyme!) :banana: Ours isn't until the end of August. In fact, we used to get out of school for it. :brow:

RJbibliophil

Hyacinth Girl

RJbibliophil

that's crazy. I can't imagine that. Here the kids get out the first week of june.

Hyacinth Girl
06-08-2006, 04:27 PM
427 - I know, I know. I was deprived. I think they did it because of snow days, although we rarely saw any of those when I was growing up. We've had very mild winters out here lately

RJbibliophil
06-08-2006, 04:31 PM
428 same here, in the sense that there hasn't been much snow. Bitter cold on the prairie though. It's just a matter of time until the blizzards come, and those unprepared will be in a dilemma.

Hyacinth Girl
06-08-2006, 04:35 PM
429
I remember my grandmother's stories of the blizzards. All the family members had farms up around Fosston, and they would have a clothesline run from the back entry to the barn door so they wouldn't get lost when feeding the animals and milking.

RJbibliophil
06-08-2006, 04:49 PM
430 there's a lot of new people out here in the country who didn't grow up in the country and wouldn't know what to do

Hyacinth Girl
06-08-2006, 04:57 PM
431 - I think the common deterioration in survival skills today is rather sad. Of course, knowing my luck I would wander out into the woods here and run into a grizzly bear - so much for skills! :lol:

RJbibliophil
06-08-2006, 04:58 PM
432

yes, I agree, but some people just don't know to stock up on things either. I try, to be a good outdoorswoman, but I'm still learning. I love the mountains, the woods, the lakes.

Hyacinth Girl
06-08-2006, 05:03 PM
433-
I do too. I grew up among lakes, mountains and trees, and I know how unpredictable nature can be, so it seems logical to me to do things like keep a pantry full of dry goods, take my pocket knife with me when I go out, things like that. In fact, the house I grew up in had an old woodburning Monarch cookstove with warming ovens - we used it when the power went out. that used to be a special treat. Mom would fire it up, then make sourdough pancakes for us.

Hyacinth Girl
06-08-2006, 05:07 PM

I believe it means "from the library of" or something like that

RJbibliophil

So is 400 CCCC or CD?


Great!

Hyacinth Girl

I think that would make most sense

is not the arabic system easier?

Hyacinth Girl

454- The arabic system is definitely less confusing, although the Romans may argue! lol

RJbibliophil
06-09-2006, 05:12 PM

Hyacinth Girl
06-09-2006, 05:14 PM

Fixed it. Now you know why I became an English major - I can't count. Actually, I was playing off of the "Roman numeral" thing, but yes, if we were talking in real time modern living, it would be the Italians. :D
