I give everyone who helps me some cash at the holidays. I don't expect anything in return. Both these situations are weird. I don't know what I would have done in your place, but I think going forward I would just keep declining and either stay while they're gone or come back later after their return.

Oh no! My kiddos are 4 and 8 and I know they'd be scared if they'd heard of it. :grouphug:

:crying:

Heck no. And if I ever had the urge I would have to recuse myself due to my inability to be impartial. :tongue_smilie:

Title says it all. Just curious....

:rofl: :rofl:

We didn't get to Arabic or spelling so we'll start with those tomorrow. DH was home sick and it reminded me of what life would have been like with 3 kids instead of 2. :laugh: Off to do my reading, last thing on my list. Good night all.

Yep, it's a good sign.

My kids like it, although I bought it for myself as it's very good for exercise. We have a video we got somewhere and the kids try to imitate it. It does take up a lot of floor space and is very heavy.

Maybe talk to them about other characteristics of the killer, shared by others, who don't become school shooters? The killer was also: white male from CT trained in target shooting a child of divorce a techie had an older brother enjoyed video games Not all children of divorce become shooters. Not all people who are from CT become shooters, etc. :grouphug:

Aside from issues of what people can afford, i think a lot of it has to do with layout. I grew up in 2000 sf and it didn't feel that big because it was compartmentalized. I later lived in 1100 sf and it felt spacious because the bedrooms were large and because I had roomates I spent most of my time in my room. I lived in a 3000 sf house but it was an older Victorian-era and it also had lots of small rooms and could feel close in. We're now in 1000 sf and it feels spacious, probably because of the large kitchen. Aside from layout, I think the biggest factor is how much stuff you have. I think I would go crazy living in 1000 sf if we had a lot of stuff piled everywhere or all the surfaces were covered, with crammed closets. I could do 700-800 sf if we were more spartan.

Reminds me of the 1990s when my friend's nephew called a friend "crunchy butt nugget". I thought I was going to hurt myself trying not to laugh and to appear stern.

I'm to embarrassed to post what I've been watching on Netflix. Way too shallow.

Oh, sorry. I guess I misunderstood. I'd like to understand what I missed....

Huh? Violence happens in lots of places where God is allowed, including houses of worship. :confused1: Some areas of the world have the highest rates of atheism and the lowest rates of homicide.

Done. I need to look into this and would be thrilled if I could get some information I could go over with elementary kids.

Yes! I had blocked this memory from my mind. What a waste of money. My other item that didn't work out was also expensive: EPGY. Horrible interface.
