:grouphug: on the layoff situation with your dh. It's tough. Hang in there! I'll keep you in my thoughts.

:seeya: Hi & welcome!

:seeya: Just stopping by with a random 'hi'!

:thumbup1:Love the new avatar! Way cool.

Of course my ds was taught by his new friends at the age of six without training wheels. It reached the point where I banned his riding until I got more band-aids. It seemed that part of the training included riding down 4-7 concrete steps. :w00t: :svengo:

I just had to say thanks for the chuckle today. (Not that I'm laughing about your ds getting hurt, but rather that his friends take him through such rigorous training, lol!!) Guess he's ready for most anything he'll face on a bike, huh?

:lol:

Hi! Haven't seen you posting much in awhile. Hope all is well with you!

Hey girl -- just wanted to say hello & that I've missed seeing your posts in recent book threads. How's life going these days? :001_smile:

Just had to stop in & say 'hi'. :D

(Good thing you told me to ignore you because I don't understand the cookie game at all.)

This is about all I understand about cookies:

Or, specifically about stealing cookies:

:lol:

Also, thank you for your good thoughts and prayers.

As usual, I've enjoyed another one of your posts again -- this time, the tai chi one.

Wish I could make it to your yoga class because I like the way you explain things, lol. I've never tried yoga (or tai chi), but am interested in trying it.... Any pointers or tips for a complete newbie to it all to find a teacher or learn more?

Thanks!

Beautiful tattoo. And, I love the symbolism. Really lovely.

Coffee...

Fighting for the cause of pencil-holding freedom! Glad you're on the pencil freedom team too! :D

:lol:

Figured I would pop in & say hi!

:seeya:

Glad you gals enjoyed it.

I started reading the Twilight book as a joke w/ my sister. But (after hearing so many raves from folks), I quickly became appalled at the stalker-ish & controlling relationship in the book (not to menion the mind-numbing, boring, simplistic writing style). I still don't get why these have such a huge following. (It's kind of scary, imo.) I never watched Buffy, but I did know about the show & loved the Buffy vs. Edward video. LOL. Rose (from these boards) originally pointed me to the video/blog site. I'm so glad she did!

Glad you mentioned that TOG has helped w/ the timed essay! I just ordered TOG for us to use this year (nervous because I spent so much) & it makes me happy to hear that TOG may help us learn skills that I consider essential for college & beyond.

:001_smile:

Good to see you!

Saw your post & sounds like you & your family are doing well. I always love hearing good things. :001_smile:

I'm doing well; thanks for asking.

;):lol:

Great post (as usual) on elementary vs. middle vs. high school expectations/workload!

Great post on the sailor girl thread! :D

Great, on-target post (the witches & pagans thread). So glad you pointed out the (what should be) obvious.

Had to lol at your sig line quote. It serves as a good reminder.

Live long & prosper. :001_smile:

Hats off to you in the maligned bikini thread. (Or would that bikini tops off to you, lol?)

Fab post!
