Thank you so much! I bought the Eclectic second and third readers from the thrift store for $.50 each and now I know when to use them.

This year I have a monster high girl, my 13 yo dyed his hair blue so he is going as Thing 1, and my 11yo ds is going to be a zombie for the third year in a row. Last year we got kicked out of a church and the mall because my DH also dresses up ( usually to match dd). Dh was upset but it has made for great stories ;)

It's a family joke that I do NOT watch comedies. Bathroom humor, sexual innuendo and jokes that make me feel like my IQ is dropping is just not my thing. On the other hand a good mystery where I have to think is my cuppa!

I agree with everything you said!!

I always get out of it by saying that it is the only time I am kid free so I use that time to plan. People really don't have anything to say to that.

We saw it a few days ago. I enjoyed it as the acting, IMO, was better than Fireproof. Best movie ever....no. But it was good.

I teach Geography using the game of risk. This is a big hit with 10-15 yo boys. For the older boys that did a year of that I do axis and allies. Each class has to give me facts each week. The risk class is about a different country and they have to be able to find it on a map.

I just bought three Life of Fred books yesterday!!!

My son and I both have this with varying problems, his will lock and pop, mine hurts. We both go to the chiropractor for adjustments and cold laser. I can now go 3-6 months without pain.

I am so glad I saw this thread, as I was wondering the same thing. I guess I'm going to tunnel ear the Olympics in February and stream the Iditarod in March!

I used to love this! I think I saw a homemade version of the pops on pintrest. I miss Baby Lash mascara. It left my lashes dark but not stiff.

My DH and I have been discussing me going back to school after he is done getting his degree in May. I don't really want to go into paralegal which is what I was in school for 15 years ago. What I really want to do is get into alternative medicine, such as naturopathy. But I am so confused as far as what schools are truly accredited. Now I think I just need to get a degree in something that will support us if something happens to DH. I have to take online course because of homeschooling. Add to that the possibility of a move in a year, due to the closing of the city jail, so DH will be out of work. What does the Hive say about online options for alternative medicine or something that will support us?

I have a couple of Ever After dolls put away that I bought BOGO in July. I am trying not to go overboard like I do every year. Our oldest two moved out a few months ago so they are getting household stuff. I am seriously thinking about getting everyone a lap desk. I think they will be useful doing school on the couch. Any thoughts on whether or not to buy them would be helpful.

I can not speak passionately enough about finding a good dentist. My last dentist said all but one of my teeth had a cavity and he had a hard time numbing me. My new dentist is fabulous!! I only have 3 cavities and they had no problem numbing me. They also gave me options in how they treated me, and explained everything very well.
