Does anyone here make kimchi?

The fish sauce should be at any local bigger store. I am in Montana, so I feel your pain, but Albertson's and Safeway have it. -
Word Press--how easy is to use...really?

I actually find WP far more intuitive than Blogger. As for the free themes there are tons of sites with them, and many many good ones. -
Need Wii recommendations

The Mario Party games are fun too and even I will play them and I rarely jump in to a vid game. Ditto on Mario Kart Wii. -
Funny I was in need of a new foundation and stopped in at the Estee Lauder counter this afternoon. I have never been a big foundation wearer, but at almost 49, I wanted to even out my skin tone. I came home with the new Invisible Liquid foundation and love it. It's really sheer but covered the overly pink tones that show up (I look a little flushed often.) and felt like I was wearing nothing. EL will give you a small bottle that should do you several days to take home and try too.

We went through the whole mess with SS when my 38 YO husband decided he wanted to go to college and SS has no record of him either. It was a loooong drawn out hassle to get a letter from them showing he was 'okay'. Here in Montana, we were told no federal financial aid would be given without that proof and he did have to file it with FA at the university here. So, keep it in a safe place.

There are also lots of sites with free logic puzzles to print. I foudn them simply via Google. These are one of my addictions :)

Prior's 'The Everything Latin Book' is available to borrow as well. I picked it up a few days ago to read through as I am starting working on Latin myself. -
I have seen legitimate questions poof in a matter of minutes. I have to agree with what's been said here. Sadly, there is so much dissatisfaction with the whole rep system and yet those who run the board seem not to care about the opinions of the users that make this place such a good resource. That is what really bothers me.

It seems to me to be a clear case that the company wants to do something for the schools that so desperately need it. So Subway & Scholastic want to do something for schools, why should the homeshooling community be insulted? How is this any different from homeschool-centered contests that school system kids are excluded from? I doubt seriously that Subway created this contest to actively discriminate against or insult the homeschooling community. As for boycotting local Subways or griping at the employees who answer the phone....it's not the employees' or the franchisees' faults and there is nothing they can do and it only insults them and/or hurts their business. It's a corporate issue, take it up with the corporations who are in a position to do something about your issue.

Yes, Norton can really hog system resources. We have used AVG (free) for ages and I have not had a virus in years. It has a scheduler built in and mine is set to automatically check for updates around 2 Am, then run a full scan at 3 AM every night while I am asleep.

I have en electric one that sits on the counter but I don't use it much - all those little convenience appliances take more effort to clean than a pot that can be put into the dishwater :) What I use more often is my spaghetti pot. It came with a deep insert for pasta that I use when I am cooking a lot of veggies, and it came with a shallow insert for smaller batches. I also use it to steam tamales when I make them, for steaming shrimp, crawdads..pretty much anything that needs it.

Mosquito Repellant--natural options

Citronella plants and those big citronella candles in buckets. Also, for body, tansy ( a plant) works well, similar to citronella oil. -
Awesome resource, Audrey, thanks!
