    I am beyond disappointed

    Agree wholeheartedly!! When the movie first came out we had just done Prince Caspian as a read aloud in preparation to see the movie. Needless to say we spent the whole movie saying, "That doesn't happen then!", and "They don't even meet each other in the book!", etc.....

    Although there are some liberties taken in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" I thought they were minimal things such as plot order that did not really change the meaning, but made it easier to follow as a movie.

    When someone consistently tailgates, it's most often....

    My father-in-law does this every time he is behind the wheel.

    I can double dog assure you that in his case it is absolutely aggression.

    Like there is some pent up rage that always surfaces against anyone

    who has the gall to be ahead of him on the road, every other driver on

    road is an idiot except him, complete with cursing, hand gestures, horn

    blowing, etc. Once when we were all in the car with him, he would have

    to continually slam on his brakes as a result of tailgating, and each time

    things from the back woukd slide forward and slam into the back of our

    seat, oh but god forbid you mention that, just let it go...

    Here's the part I could not let go - then he quite literally almost killed

    dh and oldest dd by turning into the path of an oncoming car that had

    the right of way and was going about 60 mph. Guess what he did after we

    survived this? He cursed a blue streak up and down against the other driver!

    When we quite ferociously called him on it, he cursed us out! Needless to

    say I will never be in a car with him driving ever again.

    Yes this is quite a sore spot with me.....:glare:

    To take an infant camping...or not?

    Do what is best for you and don't let it get to you. It sounds

    as if you know your limits and this trip would be beyond what

    you are willing to deal with. I find that people who will adamantly

    push you to do something uncomfortable would never do the same

    for you if the roles were reversed.

    Seriously the whole "turn the carseat around" thing would just

    tick me off...seems like a very controlling person that I would

    rather not be stuck with in a campsite.

    Can we talk stinky feet for a minute?

    Here's what I was told to do and it worked for me...

    Get a spray bottle and fill it with full strength 70%

    isopropyl alcohol. First you can spray the inside of the shoes until wet then let them air dry. If you are about to wear the shoes, spray the inside of shoes and the bottom of your feet. Put the shoes on while shoes and feet are both wet with the alcohol. Yes it is squishy, but as it dries while you walk in them, the smell goes away. Not immediately, but after just a few uses.

    Is this posted yet? About Oakland Elementary?

    Clarify

    I remember when I was young and the little boy down the street pulled his pants down and showed me and my friend his pen*s. THAT I think is fairly normal "sexual exploration". But oral sex? I think not. A child would not know to attempt that unless they had seen it somewhere else. That teacher should be fired and I would have someone investigating the parents of the children involved.

     

    :iagree:

     

    (In light of other responses)

    I strongly DISagree that performing s€x acts in a classroom is anywhere near the idea of "normal" curiosity of second grade children

    It was 8th grade all over again (spelling bee heartache)

    It was just a spelling bee with all the fourth grade classes.

    It was down to just me and Juliet R.

    And the word was "Indian".

    Which I spelled "i-n-d-i-a-n"

    And the teacher said, "No that is not correct".

    I could not believe what I was hearing! Then it is Juliet's turn and she says "CAPITAL I, n-d-i-a-n" with that smirky grin. And of course she then won first place!

    How do you know I didn't mean capital I? I didn't say "lower case i"!!!!!

    But I'm not bitter.....:glare:

    My dad is diabetic.... What now?

    Regarding the diabetes.org links in teeleigh2000's post, this may sound strange, but I do NOT consider the American Diabetes Association to be the best source of information on nutrition for diabetics.

     

    Sorry!:001_smile: Pay me no mind, I don't have any experience, I only did a quick google search!!

    I never knew about carrots being starchy so I was surprised!

    I agree that many sources of nutritional information can be very innaccurate. I should have known better.....:tongue_smilie:
