Ravin Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 But they're short. I don't care if they're made out of magical flying tiger hair, a cold wind on a willy sounds horrid. That part stays covered! And socks are worn with them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is on the general education board so I am guessing that she wanted a math curriculum that is spiral, mastery, independent, and prepares kids for the AP exam. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You definitely get points. 1 per minute of wait time at said facility. If the clinic was in Texas, she would have received two points per minute, per the Official Rules. Make your decisions carefully, people.

lots of little ducklings Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 <---------------------- check THIS out! Competitive DH was all excited about my score, until he found out the context of the game (i.e., this thread). So after getting over the fact that his wife is NOT going to be the next great thing in Classical Home Education, he suggested that at the very least we should find a way to track our running totals. And so finally…. a purpose for the Member Title! <----- Ta Da! Points for unsurpassed creative innovation? With bonus points, since I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee this morning? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 But is it a scripted rambling zig zag? It's half scripted -- any more than that and it wouldn't be a RAMBLING zig-zag. But the directions are like Google directions -- sometimes there's a better route than what they show you. Basically, throw in your own unique zigs and a few impromptu zags, and you will find your way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
