Initials for What?

Sorry for not explaining certain item used in my last post.   I still have ideas in my head but have not had much opportunity for sitting down and turning them into posts.   Today feels like a Saturday and I don’t know how I will be able to get into the swing of things as I have accepted a work assignment at Canyonville for the remainder of the week – and so may not get things typed up still.   APA can stand for American Planning Association or American Poolplayers Association.   I created one post in which I refered to APA as American Preparatory Academy.   For the most part my APA references and what seems to be most popular for Google Reference is American Psycholgical Association -   which is a style of writing.   The “proper” style.   It often seemed like APA format was more important than the contents.   What’s up with that?   Also, many professors seemed to prefer third person as opposed to first.   I am grateful to tho...

Roland actually works for an online school and had taken advantage of furthering his education at a deal.   He would spend HOURS on the computer - and that was BEFORE he started working at home.   That was a LOT of time.           Sometimes he would be frustrated - perhaps for different reasons than I had imagined.   I like having someone hold my hand and walk me through a task - rather than just hand me the instructions.
