I know. I'm getting dizzy from running into you here, there and everywhere this evening!!!
It's been a wild ride.

For a minute there I thought you lived in the south city of St. Louis, because that exactly describes someone else I know -- I got to know her via our blogs.
Once upon a time dd and I were planning to figure out a Council's Own badge about Irish Dance because both activities are so popular around here. Then the entire Journeys thing came along, our council dropped the Council's Own, etc. and we gave up on it.
Okay, thread highjack over. Back to your regularly scheduled discussion.
I have mixed feelings about the Journeys.

There are no lists available for the high school for which my son would be zoned. However, here's the list for the closest middle school to our house:
2 Pencils
1 Black Pen
1 Red Pen
1 Blue Pen
1 Green Pen
7 Composition Notebooks College Ruled (100 Sheets – Non-Plastic Cover)
5 Rolls of Scotch Tape
1 - Spiral Notebook for R-Squared (70 pages minimum)
1 – 1/2" 3-Ring Binder (Plain Binders are encouraged)
FCAT 4 function calculator (7th and 8th grade only) ~ No Scientific Calculators
2 Packets of Post-It Notes
Subject Dividers for Binder
Paper
Pencil Pouch (see-through: mesh or plastic)
Hi-Lighter
Ruler
Personal Small Plastic Pencil Sharpener
Book Bag (with or without wheels)
Additional supply items may be required by individual teachers. Your child will be notified of additional items that are required and/or recommended. While shopping for school supplies, be sure to look for all of the specials that are happening now at various retail and office supply stores and stock up for this school year! Depending on funding, school binders may or may not be supplied this school year. Please purchase 1 as a back-up.
I'm guessing at prices, but eyeballing it looks to me like it would add up to about $40 or 50 without the backpack?
They have the list in Walmart by the entrance. I always look. At the school my kids would attend each grades list is over a page long.

Howdy friend. I like to see you where ever it may be.

It is a horrible think to watch.
-
Ditto, except I don't think people find information about homeschooling on my blog. Most people seem to wander onto my blog looking for info about Girl Scout badges or Irish Dance competitions.
Wow. I lead Girl Scouts and my co-leader's dd is also into Irish Dance. What a fun little coincidence.

$600 does sound high but I know Mom's around here complain that it cost over $100 per child. The schools here don't just ask for you to buy pencils and such for your own child but you also have to send in x number of clorox wipes, x number of boxes of Kleenex, paper towel, and on and on.

I started a blog but for a slightly different reason as I don't blog about kid or school stuff. On another forum I belong to I used to do movie reviews. For years folks would tell me I was good at it and that I should start a blog. Eventually I listened and for the most part it has been fun.

Double Stuff for me please.

I think no matter what, people would be slipping on, fanning. It's not the ac, it's the Hot Flashes!
I was thinking this too!

I mentally toyed with idea of quiverful and probably could have been persuaded to go that way if my dh was on board but he never was. That said, when I had number three, I knew I was done. Everything about our family felt complete.
I am curious about your OP. I skimmed Open Embrace: A Protestant Couple Reconsiders Contraception years and years ago and had not heard the update on the couple who wrote it. When you said they were remarried did you mean to each other?

Varied based on need.

Walmart has a great prices and a great guarantee. Everyone in my family wears glasses and we get them there.

My blog is a movie blog so I went to find one there for you and discovered that while Waking Ned Devine is one of my all time favorite movies and I really liked The Full Monty, not a single film that I have on my blog falls into this category!!!
IMHO good comedies are the hardest kind of movies to come by because it is so easy to err on the side of stupid.
The best I can offer you at the moment is The Cosby Show which is currently on Netflix instant viewing. Not within any of your perimeters but still good for a quick laugh.
OH WAIT!! I just thought of one Greenfingers with Clive Owen and Helen Miran is a HOOT! Exactly in the right category too.

Only Survivor, Amazing Race, and The Voice. Everything else I was watching ended and I don't plan to replace them.

I have noticed threads deleted when a non-regular poster will post a thread that just says, "contest on my blog." I think the mods assume regular posters are just sharing, but non-regular posters are only using the board for advertising. There seems to be a fine line there.
I can see where that would be considered spam.

There's a thread on the Curriculum Board each week (Weekly Update) where everyone links their latest blog posts.
I didn't know that. Thanks.

I was just at a soccer tournement in Manassass today. There are lots of places just outside of it that have a very rural feel to them but I don't know enough about the area to give you any detailed advice.
-
Totally get you about the annoying factor. I also don't like the bate and switch technique. I occasionally post in a forum though where any mention of your blog in a post is a violation of their rules and that is what I was wondering about.
Thanks.
-
I know some forums allow it and others don't but I don't know the rule here and I can't seem to find it.
Basically what am talking about is a post like.
"I wrote something that might amuse you today"
Is that allowed?
-
Sort of I guess. I have given a child that was having trouble sleeping but did not have a cold, cold medicine to help them sleep.
please share your "gave up on full-quiver" stories

Makes me think of a girl I know got pregnant in her late teens and had been with enough boys that she had no idea who the father was. She told her pastor the she was convinced it was God's will or else she would not have gotten pregnant. Her pastor told her that it was not God's will that she had only proved that her plumbing worked.
