Is truly green really an eye color?
Melissa in Australia replied to Ginevra's topic in The Chat Board
Mine are green, with flecks of gold, I have 3 children with blue and 2 with green eyes one of the green is the same as me and one is a green with blue flecks. Dh has vivid blue eyes. Mine change colour slightly with the weather. like the ocean My neighbour has extremely green eyes, no flecks at all and they don't seem to change colour with the weather either -
Have managed to keep just under the calorie counter every day this week. Have lost 6 kg since start of the year, only 3 more to go. But I have hurt my knee gardening.. It was a week ago and I thought I could push through. But it is now so sore that I can hardly walk. Ah well.

Update on 100 year old mil. She has had no symptoms at all, just very tired.
-
Thank you we don’t know today ,we do know that she is sleeping g most of the day and night. My dh couldn’t manage to contact any relatives. She was ok yesterday. Frankly dh is sort of thinking if she passes in her sleep it will be ok. His mum has deteriorated very rapidly in the last month, has that corpse look that the extremely old get before dying and is on The waiting list to go into the highest level of care. She also seem to developed some dementia in the last month as well, no longer recognises his 2 sisters, and is calling the workers at the home servants( she grew up with servants pre ww2 in Germany)

How are your supermarket shelves?

You can get both. I buy it in a glass jar. You can get squeeze tubes but it is that cheep sweet mayonnaise. -
Have you ever felt "cherished?"
Melissa in Australia replied to Jenny in Florida's topic in The Chat Board
Ordinary spiders are fine, but I do not do huntsman spiders at all. If I see one I am afraid I do scream. They run so fast and drop onto you if you are under them. They do not make webs but rather run around and catch their prey. They are often found inside on the ceiling on hot evenings before a weather change. I have found them in my bed before. I check the ceiling every single night before going to bed. Dh always removes them if he is around. I have asked complete strangers multiple times to remove them from my car. -

Melissa in Australia replied to Melissa in Australia's topic in The Chat Board
Oh, thank you so much for the explanation. I would have never worked it out. I had a mental image of a can like a bean can that you opened with a can opener and was full of cookies. Cookies are what we call biscuits . -

What are canned biscuits ? why would bread come in a can? I am having trouble imagining it. Is it to take camping so it doesn’t get wet? -
What has history looked like in your homeschool
Melissa in Australia replied to Elizabeth86's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
SOTW second time round with twins. I read the chapter while they re meant to do the colouring page. I ask the questions they answer orally, they then do a narration that I write done for them and they copy. we do the mapwork. we may do a craft activity . I sometimes get the respite worker to help them with one of the activities. but I have to have everything prepared and the twins already instructed in what to do as the respite worker seems to have no creativity in her at all. I read a book every day of the week for morning narration that fits in with the history lesson of that week. As the twins are permanently stuck in grade 1 level I can see us going through the whole series again in the future. I have gone through these books a total of 5 times . for my older children we did SOTW for 4 years, then moved on to logic History which was using Kingfisher World History, Usborne Encyclopedia of World history plus reading list from TWTM a 4 year cycle. For the next stage we tried a few different things . my favorite was Spielvogels Western Civ plus TWTM reading list -
Does your username still “fit” you? Just curious.
Melissa in Australia replied to Hilltopmom's topic in The Chat Board
Mine is my name and location. pretty self explanatory and boring. like me 😁 -
they will be really lucky if they can even get something in their mouth. the twins Play therapist/Psychologist works at a special school as well. She told me today that some of those kids that she works with get violet if someone comes to close to their zone. no way will they be allowing someone to get close enough to administer any test
-
VIC return to school plan includes children and staff teasted 2 times a week, except in special schools, where all students are to be tested every day. Makes me wonder if the people who make these rules have ever been close to a nonverbal autistic child.

Hugs my mil has it, tested positive today she is in a nursing home in Canada.She turns 100 on Monday

Good for you hope you have a lovely day

Nonsense. If you have never worn a bra in your entire life you be extremely saggy and stretched. There is many very well filmed documententries of indiginous tribes from over the whole wild. Including aboriginal Australian women, tribel women from Papua New Guinea, Africa, Pacific islanders etc.

For all of you that don't wear a bra durin g the day. Didnt you ever see those old documentries of tribal women, that had flappy skin streached so long that their baby was carried on their back and they could fling their beast over to it when the baby was hungry? Those documentries have traumatised me for life.

No. I sleep naked. My nightdress is to cover myself while I walk from my bedroom to the bathroom. I am the very first person up each fay I leave the bathroom fully dressed. I would never ever be seen waltzing around in night attire during the day. The thought is shocking
