A friend on facebook just posted that her daughter was in the hospital and asked for us to "Please know for her clear and easy breathing." I thought it was a typo or missing word, but several hours later she posted "Please continue to know for her easy breathing."
I've never heard that request, so just I'm curious where it comes from.

Search hasn't worked for me for days. Glad to hear it's fixed!

My mom had one of these and while he was a pain to raise, he's been ever so rock-solid as an ethical engineer. Kids like this are more likely to lead groups *away* from drugs, etc., and be otherwise unaffected by negative peer pressure. Perhaps we could get that on a wall hanging 'specially for these times? :D
Thanks, I needed to hear this today. I even emailed it to my DH. DH has always said our argumentative child is principled. God willing he hangs onto right principles!

Thanks! I've got one ordered and on the way.

I was in a hurry when I added the pictures and didn't get to mention how much fun Papa had at his party. He quoted little poems and rhymes--complete with hand-motions--and sang several songs including Jesus Loves Me and Silent Night. We took a large group picture of all the family and friends who attended and while we were busy arranging people around him, he looked at my father-in-law and said, "This is sure some big blow-out."
I hope to be as clear-headed when I'm 100!

Thanks, everyone. We're back from his party and had a great time. Santa even came!

It's my 40th birthday today, but...it's also my husband's grandfather's 100th birthday. 40 doesn't look so old when you compare it to 100. :D Feeling sort of young today.

Is anyone in the First Flight Society? Has anyone gone to their December 17th Celebration of Powered Flight? We're thinking about going this year, but there aren't many details on the website. I can't tell if it's worth the drive and one night in a hotel.

It wasn't as bad as a senior as you had priority, but for years it was a scheduling PITA.
Oh, but being a senior didn't help me any. I took two summer school classes at my local community college, but since the grades hadn't transferred by the time I had to register for my fall semester of classes, I had to register as a junior. Spring semester my senior year was already filled with student teaching, so I had no wiggle room for which classes to take in the fall. My registration time was the *last* time period for juniors. By the time I was able to register, two or three of my classes were already filled. I remember going to the dean and begging him to get me into those classes. As he signed my forms he said, "To hell with the Fire Marshall." :D

Thought I'd post an update:
We eventually talked to the mom involved and she somewhat apologized for the way she handled things. She believed our version of what really happened, but didn't seem surprised or upset at her daughter's role in the whole thing. We said that threatening to call the police on a six-year old boy was unacceptable. We told her to please talk to us if she had a problem with one of our boys and to never talk directly with any of them again.
We've told our boys to not play with them. We told them to not be mean, but just stay away if they are playing in their yard. The other kids on the street are staying away from that family also because they really showed their true colors in this whole situation. Her kids don't play outside a whole lot, so it's been easier to avoid them than I thought it would be.
Halloween was a bit tricky as we have a huge block party. They attended, we attended, but we kept clear of her.
Thanks for all of your concern! I know some people advised us not to talk to her, but my DH is one of those wise and tactful people who is really good at telling people what they need to hear without them getting mad at him. *I* wouldn't have talked to her alone because I don't have that gift!

I would just respond with a polite, "Ok, no problem. Next time your dog is barking incessantly and disturbing the peace, I'll just go ahead and call animal control since I know you don't want me to bother you. Have a great day!"
(ok, maybe my passive-aggressive side came out just a little)

I was homeschooled for a little while in middle school in the mid-80s. Mom got the idea when she read a book by Dorothy and Raymond Moore. We moved the summer before high-school and my mom went back to work and I went back to school.

I missed the pilot :( I have caught the other two episodes and they were pretty cool. I hope they can come up with more stuff to keep it going and I really would like to see that pilot!!
It's on Hulu.com

We're loving it. I'm just happy to have a show that we can all sit down and watch together!DD7 and I watched the first episode on hulu yesterday. DD liked it so much that she remembered it aired on Sunday night and reminded me to DVR it.I like it (not love it, yet) because the whole family can watch it.
Does anyone know what it is rated? I've watched the first two and I would be ok with my boys watching them, but I'd hate to get them interested in a show and then make them stop watching because it gets too adult after a few shows.

You can find me here.

I've had a VM android smart phone for almost a year now. The coverage in my area is good and I've been very happy with their service.

All of my kids have gmail accounts. I set them up so that anything they receive or send automatically gets sent to my account. They don't know the passwords to their accounts. I have to sign them in. It's worked beautifully for us.

Oak Knoll, could you contact her through FB and let her know that people here are asking, worried about her, and miss her? Please (I have no FB access right now)
I can't do it since I deactivated my account recently. She has her fb profile set to public so I was able to find it in a google search. If someone wants to PM me for the link to her profile, I'll be glad to pass it on.

I found her on facebook through her website. She looks like she's doing fine.

We live in Asheville which is a very alternative area and has lots of people who are very spiritual without subscribing to main-stream religion. I think it may be her brand of spirituality, but it's one I'm not familiar with.
ETA: Here's a website that talks about Asheville's spirituality.
