No. They are a good fit for some situations.

My bottom two third molars are partially impacted. The upper two are "shorter" than the other molars. I have never had a problem keeping them clean or cavity free.
In my early 20s, I was told that all four wisdom teeth should be removed because to prevent future excruciating pain. I was also told that the wisdom teeth would "crowd" my other teeth. My teeth were nicely aligned then and now 20+ years later.

I had a horrible experience with this. I'd get a second opinion.
Are all dentists in agreement that wisdom teeth have to come out?
No, they are not.

We are going to pick up a mixed breed one from the shelter today for my 13 year. This will be her dog and she will be resposible for walking it, playing with it, training it, feeding it grooming it and it will sleep in her room. From I understand they are difficult to train so even though I have some experience with dog training I am not sure how hard this will be. Does anyone out there have an experience, advice or words of wisdom for raising this type of dog?
We have a shelter pom who weighs 20 pounds. He is not overweight but large for a pom.
I suspect he was a shelter dog because he has serious issue with territorial marking although he is otherwise housebroken. Short of diapering him, we have not had success with stopping the marking behavior. We decided to deal with it as best we could and replace carpet after he passes away.
Although he is medicated daily for arthritis, every day is good day for him once he gets his engine warmed up in the a.m. He is the perennial favorite dog of the visitors to our home.

Okay, so our social studies will now be focused on different religious traditions around the world for a bit- as opposed to geography/map reading skills/etc. Actually, world religions folds nicely in with geography so that's great. Thank you all for the input. There's always a logical answer, it's just hard to see it sometimes when your emotions are a bit raw from being hurt/seeing your children hurt by others' words and actions.
I'm thinking maybe I should not be so timid about being an atheist, especially among other homeschoolers. Before it was an attempt to 'keep the peace' when I stayed out of such conversations and didn't butt in when someone went all bible quotey at such meetings. But really, it's not keeping peace is it? Not if the result is my kids being confused/scared/hurt. The feelings of adults do NOT trump the needs of my children.
My young ones are 8, 6 and 4 BTW.
We tend to do 'our own thing' most of the time, that may just become ALL of the time. Maybe instead of park days we should just invite like-minded friends to join us at the park and so on.
Thanks for letting me 'think out loud' here. And thank you all so much for the links and book rec's.
My students are middle schooler and high schoolers now, but we followed path you did. It worked well for us.
I suspect your children may have suffered same ostracism by some homeschoolers that mine did when they honestly responded to private probing questions.
However, we fortunately did not have relatives attempting to proselytize our children.

Yes, I'd be using it as a babysitting service while I work. We need the money right now, and I am just finding it way hard to work when I am also in charge of their education. I would want to get them back out asap, but not sure of the time frame.
Anyone done this?
No, but it is a reasonable solution to your problem.

Since I would rather laugh than cry, I will mosey on over to youtube.com to listen again to Kinky Friedman's "A______ from El Paso." Warning: not recommended for the faint of heart.

It is not racist. It is religionist.

I find them more obnoxious than frightening.

Yes. It's why I use Freecycle.QUOTE]
In our area, Freecycle devolved into primarily a beggar board. Instead of a simple first-come-first-serve recycle endeavor, people would post or email their personal stories about why they were in dire need of the item in question.
We now just drop items off at Goodwill or other thrift stores.

I followed Facebook's directions for deletion. After more than two months of no activity at all, as a check, I attempted to login. Attempt was unfortunately successful!

It is practically impossible to erase all personal information on the web. If you are in a licensed profession or on a board of directors, you are out there.

Your large family is a treasured luxury in itself. How many of the families that you are referring to have eight or nine children?

when mentioning to credentialed educators that we home school. Anyone else ever feel this way? I feel irrationally guilty and don't want to hurt their feelings, devalue their education, skills, etc. Please tell me I'll "grow out of this". :001_unsure:
I do not follow why stating that you homeschool would be hurtful or a putdown to professional educators. Are you seeking others' approval of your educational choices? If yes, that is a tough path to travel. You could offer up a more palatable euphemism for homeschooling like "my children are privately tutored" if you wish to avoid controversy. In the long run, there is no shortcut for developing confidence in your own decision making abilities.
