Please Bear with Me I got hit with the Stupid Stick and Dont know when To Capitalize Words!!

Okay, so clearly I'm still trying to get the hang of blogging, but bear with me I am getting better. Which brings me to the topic of this blog. It will be whatever the heck comes into this wonderful mind of mine!! Which takes me back to asking you to bear with me: I ask you to do this because I literally had to dictionary.com the way you spell " bear with me" so that no one would think I was speaking about bringing a "bear" animal along, but you also didn't think I was " bare" naked either. Clearly we have all been decieved at how many meanings we have in the good ol' english language about the word " bear" or "bare" or "bair". Now being the amazingly smart teacher that I am, I just googled "two words that sound the same but mean different things" and thanks to askjeeves.com I am being told that those are called homophones. On a sidenote, I just taught an entire lesson on this concept and completely forgot everything I had said but on the plus the kids that I was teaching were like fluent homophone finders so I guess I'm doing something right!!! But seriously, the meaning of "bear" can be a noun, a verb, or an adejective. ( For sanity purposes the mention of the word "bear" will refer to the cuddly teddybear because it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling on the inside when you think of bears like Winnie the Pooh :) I was seriously blown away at my complete lack of remembering the term "bear" can take on so many meanings. Thank god I have the power of the internet at my fingertips, so the world will never know how truly retarded my mind comprehends and processes things. Which just reinstates my purpose for this entire page that everyone in the United States should have court ordered andriods complete with dictionary.com and google maps applications.
