Re: [LM_NET] How to signal "stop" to nose-pickers discreetly.

[Toni Koontz <fussbgt@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

I would get the box of tissues and offer one to the student...never had to 
say a word, the student knew what I meant...it only took a couple of times 
and then students would just quietly get one on their own.
