Subject: Its time for the September Poll!

September is the traditional start to the new school year for many,(although some of us actually have been in school almost 4 weeks now.) We thought we would make this month's poll about learning experiences.

We all know that not all learning is done in school, so the question is, what was your favorite learning moment in the books. Don't forget to add who the student was and who the teacher was.

[> A good digging stick is essential and actually fun to use. Willow bark contains an aspirin-like substance. Mullion leaves can be used as toilet tissue. Sugar can disinfect wounds. If you heat up a needle, you can bend it so it will do stitching on cuts. Obviously my favorite learning moment is all of Claire's "folk" wisdom. -- shy gal, 06:40:43 09/02/11 Fri

[> [> I like those parts too. While reading that chapter, I visualized myself trying to do this..or even if I could do it if necessary. I still don't know. I'd have to refer to an index card with notes! LOL... --

[> [> [> Just as aside, I took part in a one evening self defence calss years ago. The one thing I mostly remember is that a women can do every bit as much damage as a much stronger man but we are conditioned to not hurt, and it is that hesitation that gets us. I think I wouldn't hesitate, hope I never have to find out. --

[> Poll -- Menatra, 09:41:49 09/02/11 Fri

When Claire is teaching Jamie the ways of the bedroom on their wedding night, although he didn't say he was a monk! Hilarious

That was my favorite as well...I just love the way both Jamie and Claire deal with such minor topics as though each is the most important learning moment between them...with humor and matter-of-factness. Jamie is a rare male for the 18th century!
