That explains it.
Sounds good though.
I know people who don't like it when their kids leave the house (my own father included).
I even know someone who got depressed and divorced her husband as a result 
With such a large family (I'm guessing 42 children!) I can see why you'd enjoy it though 
Good luck with the empty nest and have fun in Israel, sounds great!

With limited desire to travel these days, I've been using my vacation by taking Mondays off all summer. Three day weekends every week and I avoid the Monday stress. Fridays are usually more relaxed than Mondays, so I prefer to work Friday over Monday.

Sounds like a good plan.
You don't have to travel on your days off.
In fact, I take two weeks during Christmas break to just sit at home.
Every day I'm out of the house is a day lost.

Lucky you.
Since I retired, I don't get any days off

Never really liked Dream Theater, save for their album Metropolis Pt. 2, for some reason.
Biggest reason is I really don't like the singers voice

Not teaching them obviously.

Did they learn anything useful from your absence of tutorship?
Apart from "pkfox won't tell me anything useful"?

It was one of my teachers favourite expressions of disdain.

I would have chosen "Generally Good".

I've never had a boss , always been self employed due to my being totally unemployable

I too, have always worked for myself in this career, 40+ years.
Looking for a job now, as the last one lasted 5 weeks, it wasn't what was advertised, I find I may be in the same situation, unemployable. 
This is partly due, I think, to age discrimination, despite the claims that there is no such thing.

probably a poll form error
I taught someone from US C#. At the time I wasn`t very skilled (that was about 16 years ago, and I am not very skilled today either) I taught just as much as I knew.

You're very honest though

your unusually warm appreciation of my honesty could be sincere or could be acting. I have no way to tell which one it is so my follow up statement is just being extra cautious. Sorry if I`m too suspicious.

Quote: an example of one of the many pitfalls of electronic communication
I think electronic communication has nothing to do with it. You can fake kind and sincere feeling in real life just as well, there no difference from this point of view between virtual and real life interaction. You need to hook someone to a lie detector to tell if he`s lying.
