1 : easily taught
*2 : easily led or managed

Example Sentence:
"Quite docile and harmless was Billy, and it was pitiful to see how hard he tried to learn, as if groping dimly after the lost knowledge which had cost him so much." (Louisa May Alcott, Little Men)

Did you know?
Docile students can make teaching a lot easier. Nowadays, calling students "docile" indicates they aren't trouble-makers. But there's more than just good behavior connecting docility to teachability. The original meaning of "docile" is more to the point: "readily absorbing something taught." "The docile mind may soon thy precepts know," rendered Ben Jonson, for example, in a 17th-century translation of the Roman poet Horace. "Docile" comes from Latin "docēre," which means "to teach." Other descendants of "docēre" include "doctrine" (which can mean "something that is taught"), "document" (the earliest meaning of which was "instruction"), and "doctor" and "docent" (both of which can refer to college teachers).

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence. ]]> Word of the Week Smiling Dawn http://www.oldfashionedliving.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25070 <![CDATA[Wouldn't Ya Just Know It??]]> http://www.oldfashionedliving.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25068&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:48:07 GMT Grandson #2 didn't feel well this morning and has been puny for several days. We didn't think it was anything more than maybe a sinus infection or slight cold.....but it has been going on for a few days without getting better. SO DD asked me to keep him at my home today since he didn't feel well enough to go to school. She made him an appointment with the Pediatrician this afternoon and sure nuff, he has H1N1 flu. Now, since I am high risk, I have to take TamiFlu and watch for symptoms. That would be bad enough but I also have out of town company coming for Thanksgiving. I had both the H1N1 and seasonal flu shots, but not long enough to be effective.

I feel so terrible for him, but I'm also worried about us getting it. On the way home from the doctor he asked me if he had the flu that was killing all the kids. How do you answer something like that?? I told him that he would be fine because he didn't have any of the other health problems that made this flu serious. ]]> Health Resources, Questions and Concerns Gayla http://www.oldfashionedliving.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25068 Coffeemom http://www.oldfashionedliving.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25067&goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:35:42 GMT Keep your eye on your mailbox.

I have seen several of these around for years, but now that I need one I can't find the recipes. One is French Toast that you assemble the night before and then just bake in the morning. The other is a hash brown potato, sausage and egg thingy. I think you can assemble it the night before too and then just bake.

I sure would appreciate help if anyone knows any of these types of recipes. ]]> Kitchen Questions and Chat Gayla http://www.oldfashionedliving.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25063 Genealogy Question http://www.oldfashionedliving.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25062&goto=newpost Sat, 14 Nov 2009 06:01:36 GMT I am a complete beginner at genealogy.

My mother has quite a bit of information compiled on her family, both maternal and paternal. But my dad died in 1986 and his parents died before that. We have found some information on his maternal side, but there is absolutely nothing on the paternal.

The online programs are very expensive, and I don't have much information to go on. Are there any truly free genealogy searches that are reliable?
