luuknam Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What other music choices besides Pandora? When I was a kid I played the violin (and when I did a year of high school in Thailand, the kaen*, and I now have a keyboard). My oldest son wants to play the trumpet (we'll probably give him lessons for his birthday) and his little brother has some bongos. My friend's kids all play the recorder. My dad plays the accordion and my mom harmonium**. She also sings in a choir. My aunt is a (professional) conductor in an orchestra, so she just makes other people make music. I could keep going, but I think the Google could probably give you more ideas if you Google "musical instruments". * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khene ** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_organ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 This is rude, right? Well, it's just a question. You didn't use any swear words (as far as I can tell - seems some people are really picky). If you're concerned, maybe try "Could you please tell me if this is rude?" next time? People like words like "please" and "thank you". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Talk to me about asthma I would, but I have to find my inhaler first. <wheezing too much to answer anything> FTR, I was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis as a kid, then as an adult had a few doctors tell me kids don't get that, and say I probably had/have asthma, and then finally had a full pulmonary function test, and I don't have any lung problems?? I do appreciate my albuterol inhaler when I need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FO4UR Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Some might argue that there are three: the first, second and third editions! (Does that make three commandments?) Regards, Kareni No. That makes TWTM a Trinitarian Text. A Triumvirate. A Trivium. A Trilogy. Something along those lines... I guess we should now divide ourselves according to which edition is on our shelves. I'm a First Edition Homeschooler.

Chrysalis Academy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Help me choose our next drama thing Oh, I usually don't have to plan these things - they usually bubble up naturally. But a few good prompts include asking a kid to wash their feet before bed, or asking a child engrossed in reading a book to come set the table, or telling the 8 year old it's time to do math. Works like a charm. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Lets talk pools Well, there are those bodies of water that you could swim in for example, or there are things like gene pools, or pools where you and a bunch of coworkers buy lottery tickets together and share the money you win (which is usually nothing), etc. Interestingly, the etymology of the bodies of water kinds of pools (basically, from the word pool in other languages) is different from the etymology of the other kinds of pools (from the French word for hen - poule). This surprises me, because they're both basically aggregates of things - water in the first case, other things in the other case. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pool ETA: apparently, 'poule', while literally meaning 'hen', can also mean 'stakes, booty, plunder', which explains somewhat the other etymology of pools. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pool 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
