New Richard Dawkins book - for children
Mercy_Me replied to pooh bear's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Thank you! Off to order a copy now! His writing style is brilliant. -
For your entertainment and gutter minds!
Mercy_Me replied to simka2's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I am sure you all remember the book this came from: The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!' My daughter read that to me when she was 5. I threw the book away. :lol: (She didn't know I threw it away and I didn't make a big deal out of it...but...:svengo:) -
In the case of a few people here it truly looks like pot-stirring. Maybe not every spin-off, but for several, they come across loud and clear. And it's not less judgmental, but I am not making S/O threads, tagging posts and making a general spectacle, either.

:lol: Pringles are one of those things that I NEVER want....until I eat one. Then I finish the can. :001_huh: Same with popcorn. I am not entirely sure I even LIKE popcorn. I am going with your crack theory.

What to make for dinner?
Mercy_Me replied to amo_mea_filiis.'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
What breed of adorableness is that in your siggy? :001_wub: -
When you see page after page after page of spin-offs and accusations, it becomes easier to see who likes to keep the pot stirred. That's all. :001_smile:

:lol:--I am still giggling over your ethernet cable statement. :D
-
But that is not what happens. Asking someone to clarify is one thing. Full-blown War On Trolls is another. In all of this "troll-outing" quite a few troublemakers have "outed" themselves. Again.
-
Well then why can't the "outing" be enough? Just someone throw up a quick "your story doesn't make sense" and leave.it.alone. The Troll will usually out themselves with how they respond. Quit feeding a Troll and it will look elsewhere for food.
-
Respectfully, doesn't the constant attention to "The Trolls" and thread after thread of "spin-offs" affect the integrity of this board? It's made me look at the boards in an entirely different light.

I giggled when I read this because I frequently get this look::001_huh: when the kids see me muddling through the pronunciation. I am learning to read a chapter ahead and master the names before I read. :D

Mystery Illness in dd 1
Mercy_Me replied to Osmosis Mom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I was about to respond with Fifth Disease, but I see I have been beat to the punch. ;) I hope your little ones feel better soon! -
MIL is gone and will not be returning.
Mercy_Me replied to 5LittleMonkeys's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I did want to add, though...You did the right in protecting your children. It's just a horrible situation all the way around. :grouphug: -
MIL is gone and will not be returning.
Mercy_Me replied to 5LittleMonkeys's topic in General Education Discussion Board
This disease has the potential to rip the ability to act in a grown-up manner away. It's progressive. It does not get better. -

Mercy_Me replied to 5LittleMonkeys's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I am so very sorry. :grouphug: Every single bit of what you described sounds VERY typical of Alzheimer's. I'm not sure why her Dr. would brush it off. There is a book titled Love Never Sleeps. It could be a tremendous help to family and caregivers. It's going to be a very, very long road. My advice is to find a loving, supportive network of people immediately. Your mother-in-law needs you guys now more than ever. -
Hot Saucing Mom found guilty
Mercy_Me replied to Scarlett's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I was mortified watching the video. I tried to show my husband later that evening and he asked me to turn it off. He couldn't watch. -
Hot Saucing Mom found guilty
Mercy_Me replied to Scarlett's topic in General Education Discussion Board
What she did is horrible, yes...but she was seeking help and in the process was exploited by "Dr." Phil. I fear others in her situation will not seek help for anger for fear of....this...Sad. No matter how you look at it. -
Ready or not, we start tomorrow. Who else?
Mercy_Me replied to wy_kid_wrangler04's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Year 2 starts for us tomorrow. 1/2 of the books haven't arrived yet. We're plowing ahead anyway. They have been after me to start back for weeks, so I really think we can make do with what we have. Good luck to you all! -
Thank you guys so much for the help. The link to the old TT thread has been immensely helpful. I have seen Chalk Dust mentioned several times. I am going to do a bit of research on that one now. We used Saxon last year..Math 3 and Math 54. The girls did fine with it, but I can not describe the loathing I have for Saxon. :glare: No program is going to be beneficial if I lack the confidence/ability to teach it.
-
It looks just perfect at face value. Thanks for your input! :001_smile:
-
I've been doing more reading on TT and I am starting to worry that using the program would put my children behind. I am *so* not a math person, in fact, I actively hate it, but I REALLY don't want to pass my hatred on to my children. *sighs*

s/o Annoying things non-homeschoolers say
Mercy_Me replied to regentrude's topic in General Education Discussion Board
:iagree: Sometimes those threads get so hateful that I would like to suggest that the offended home schooler wear a T-shirt that says...."I Home School. Don't Talk To Me." :001_smile:
