Oh, dear. Amazon.com and Walmart.com won't let me play because I am Canadian.
Hello fellow Canadians, where do you get your music? Thanks!

Thanks! I'll check those out.:001_smile:

My dd just bought her first mp3 player and now she needs some music. Where are some good sites for legal downloads? This is not an ipod, so I'm assuming itunes is not going to work? Are there free sites? Do all legal downloads cost money? Do we set up an account somewhere? Thanks for humouring the mp3 newbies at our house.:001_smile:

This is what bugs me:
would of
could of
should of
They would've, could've, should've known better.:001_smile:
As for the HW sound at the beginning of whether, what and whale, I was taught to pronounce words this way in elementary school. I can remember making one of those construction paper pinwheels attached to a straw. We were told to put our mouths close to the pinwheel and say words beginning with w and wh. The wh words were supposed to make the pinwheel spin.

Mine are grades 5 and 7. We start at 9, take a break from 11:30-1:00, and are done for the day by 2:30-3:00.:)

Well, wouldn't the world be boring if everyone liked the same things. I'd say you should continue to encourage his interests. Good job, Sarah!:)

Hi Sarah,
How old is your ds?
My son could care less about Star Wars. He saw the movies, thought they were fine, but never cared to "play" Star Wars with light sabers, etc. He has never played with cars or action figures of any kind, and could care less about sports. He doesn't play hockey, baseball, soccer, etc. and he doesn't watch the games on TV. He doesn't play video games, either.
When he was little, he loved to take cassette tapes and household appliances apart. He took my cupboard doors off with a screwdriver before he was 2. As he got a little older, he learned the names of all the trees and wildflowers in the book, learned where all the countries of the world were located and what their flags looked like. He wasn't a bookworm though. He hated to read (and still does.) He didn't have a problem getting dirty, however, because he was often found outside looking for bugs under rocks and logs. His interests changed from year to year, but he was never interested in typical "boy" stuff.
He is 12 now, and still doesn't care for Star Wars. He loves Indiana Jones, but doesn't "act out" the parts. He has a video camera and loves to make his own movies. The content is very "12yo boy" with lots of pretend accidents and fake blood.;) He loves riding his bike all over the place. He likes to build fires in the yard. He loves camping and hunting. (He has brought home 6 deer, a bear, and numerous grouse for our freezer over the last couple of years.) He is ALL boy. "Man" material (if you kwim). I don't believe that Star Wars, cars or action figures are an accurate measure of "boyness".

My option was not on the list. I don't own one, because I have no use for one. There is nothing in my house that would emit carbon monoxide. Everything is electric (furnace, hot water heater, kitchen stove, etc.)

I would never give up my good coffee beans! That cheap, pre-ground coffee is just not worth it. We've been in that situation, and even though we were "poor," we didn't feel like it because we drank great coffee the whole time.:001_smile:

Hmm. My kids are 9 and 11. They've been clipping their own nails for years (as soon as they could properly hold and use the nail clippers). I've never even considered this as a dangerous activity. Neither one has ever injured themselves.

My 11 yo ds has one baby tooth left, but my 9 yo dd has lost all of them already.

Well, I just use a big square piece and place it over the pan. Then I plunk the dough on it, press it down into the pan and trim off the excess around the edges. Does that make sense?

Hi,
I've been homeschooling for nearly seven years now. This year we'll be finishing up SOTW and moving on to Learning Adventures: A World of Adventure in the fall. I'll be adding in the Guerber series as our spine, starting with, The Story of the Ancient World.
Just thought I'd say, "Hello!"
