    Is old enamelware safe to use for food storage? Thanks!

    in General Education Discussion Board

    Posted

    I was thinking of these enamelware tiffins on ebay:

    It is probabaly a good thing that they are not safe for food storage (Thanks Michelle!) b/c they are way too expensive for a lunchbox!

     

    But, they are very cool.

    Ya'll found some great options! Thank you!

     

    I also found some wooden bento boxes on ebay.

     

    There is this one that has stainless steel containers stored in a plastic thermos so that it stays warm:

    I would love to buy one of these:

    They are gorgeous! Do you think old enamelware is safe to use?

     

    I will probably end up ordering the one from Pearl River that someone listed above or this to go ware one:

    How often do your college sons call home?

    in General Education Discussion Board

    Posted

    will call every week (With all those new smilies, there is not one with his fingers in this ears to show that I am blindly going to believe this no matter what you say till my three little boys grow up and never call me.)

     

    That being said, my brother who is a college junior has called me three times: (and no, none of those times was after he received a care package from me) once he thought he had a hernia, once for my dd's birthday, and once when he wanted a recipe to cook dinner for a girl!

     

    I love him anyway.:001_smile:

    Oh SweetPeach/Tricia, Would you mind sharing more about your experience in Finland?

    And how you use what you learned in your homeschool? :bigear: I would like to go the route of more self-satisfaction than completed to please the teacher.

     

    However, I have found my dd(7) does a much better job if she knows that daddy or Grandma will be seeing her work. There is a night and day difference in her work when she is being held accountable to someone and when she is not.

     

    Any thoughts for me?

     

    Thanks!

    What do you do with your eyebrows? (do you dress up spinoff)

    in General Education Discussion Board

    When I was thirteen my mom taught me to pluck my eyebrows & wax my own lip.

     

    Somewhere towards the end of high school I switched to doing cream on my lip.

     

    Recently, the creams have stopped working for me so I have switched to getting my lip waxed every two weeks (only $5). I also have started having my eyebrows shaped professionally maybe three times a year (but I go to a high end salon for that so it is more expensive ... maybe $25?)

     

    I am a hairy person. And yes I have recently started getting the long dark hairs on my chin. I will be one heck of a scary looking old lady!

    Can someone explain Classical Conversations to me?

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    I recently ordered the Cycle 1 Powerpoint CD, Audio CD, & Old Testament & Ancient Egypt History Cards.

     

    I primarily wanted the program to facilitate memorizing history facts.

    I was surprised at how the history sentences seem to be rather random. How are these supposed to be used?

     

    Also, is the timeline chant (that I've seen on youtube) simply a memorization of the history cards?

    Thanks.

    Ellen
