[Do you lick your fingers when eating food?]

 

 

The thought of licking my fingers or seeing someone else do it makes me sick. I'm LOLing at my dramatic horror, but I'm serious.

 

 

It makes me sick too and the "sound" that can accompany finger licking also makes me feel really sick.

[Letting school be "easy" for a time - I'm not the only one, right?]

I also let things become "easy" when I start getting burned out myself and just want a bit of a break.

[Abducted 6 year old going on Dr. Phil]

Seriously??????

 

Are the parents out of their minds! Why would you put your child on national tv after the just went through an abduction!!!!

 

I would put a link but I am on IPad and am clueless how to cut and paste.

 

 

Probably because the parents are getting heavily compensated for going on the show.

[Letting school be "easy" for a time - I'm not the only one, right?]

 

Am I the only one that allows for things to be easy/not challenging for a time? :blush:

 

 

At 6.5, I think you will be fine.

[Do you lick your fingers when eating food?]

When eating food, do you lick your fingers? DH does sometimes and I think it is disgusting simply because I was raised that licking your fingers was poor manners and that we use a napkin.

 

And I specifically mean while eating a food - after eating or during eating, whenever.

[What's the big deal with this storm??]

It's about 7am Saturday morning and we have accumulated about 5 inches of snow. Not much for our area!!

[Best homeschooling thing I ever did . . .]

Can homeschooling itself be the best homeschooling thing I ever did?!! Hehe

 

[What's the big deal with this storm??]

I

9. But Western New Yorkers and neighboring Canadians discovered a great way to stay warm during The Blizzard of '77. Their secret was revealed by the 18% percent jump in the birth rate and 45% jump in the abortion rate after the storm of the century. That's why local comedians suggest the three B's for surviving a blizzard: Beer- Bread- Birth Control."[/i]

 

 

 

Ummm....I was a product of the blizzard of '77!

[kiddo means?]

 

 

I have never heard kiddo used to refer to a disabled child, only as a cutesy affectation of "kid".

 

 

Ditto nor has it ever crossed my mind as a term for a disabled child.

[What's the big deal with this storm??]

 

We're pretty close to each other! When we toured SUNY Geneseo a few months ago, one of the Bio professors mentioned that the valley there gets very little snow.

 

We get snow but we are outside the snow belt. The neighboring town gets hammered with snow while we may have an inch!! lol

 

Did you like the college?

[If you started in August, what day are you on?]

We started the last week of August and completed day 104 today.

[Please tell me...]

Be thankful you only have one of "those"!

 

I have two incredibly intense, challenging, highly active, busy, active, did I mention active girls and they don't sleep well! AND it's not just me, they are known by our family and friends to be a handful! So rest assured, you are not alone! :thumbup:

[What's the big deal with this storm??]

Where are you in western NY? I'm around Bath/Hornell and we've had so much snow! Of course I'm at the tip top, and on the darker side, of a big hill, so maybe that contributes. Last year we had very little, though.

 

 

We are near Geneseo. Right now it is about 35 degrees and raining. Apparently it is suppose to arrive later in the afternoon for us.

 

My FIL works in the public defenders office in/near Bath (I think). For Steuben County, (again I think).

[What's the big deal with this storm??]

Western New Yorker here! 2 feet is nothing normally but this past winter has been relatively snow-less so now it seems like a big deal.

 

Nothing happening yet though. DH is called to work tomorrow (he is a salt miner) so maybe that says something??

[Would/Do you attend a church with different beliefs than yours?]

Absolutely not.

[Question about removing wisdom teeth]

Has anyone ever been told to have their wisdom teeth removed, not had them removed and then been fine?

 

dd is very anxious about having her wisdom teeth removed, most are impacted. She really wants to leave them alone but they do bother her from time to time.

 

She is very, very anxious. :crying:

 

 

I had all four impacted wisdom teeth removed at once when I was 25ish. I was also very, very anxious too. I was knocked out for the procedure and I paid out of pocket for it. It was the best money I EVER spent in my life. Recovery wasn't terrible except when they had to change the gauze and I had slight dry socket.

 

Hands down, get knocked out.

[3rd grade chemistry: anybody else planning this?]

Thank you for your list! My big girl is BEGGING for another Chemistry curriculum (we worked through NOEO Chemistry 1 last year). I am going to try and put something together and your list is great!!
