  1. :iagree:We were studying sea creatures one year. I found out they disagree over the sceinific classification of seahorses. They nearly drove me to drink.;) It was my first year homeschooling and the pressure I put on myself to teach my girls the correct information was extreme.:lol:
  2. :iagree:There is no need to rush. If you find you child has mastered the material then you could always skip a lesson here and there.
  3. :iagree: I also liked the way he quietly left after drilling the hole. He let this be a Chilean moment like it should be.:) Classy guy.
  4. :iagree: I missed Lost. I loved Flash Forward. The Event is not as good as Flash Forward. IMHO. I haven't given up yet. I only have a show or two left in me though.
  5. Same here. I do have friends on my local hs lists who have received the History DVD.
  6. :lol::lol:I was thinking about how my mother and my mother-in-law handled my news as well.:lol::lol: It was not pretty. I was thirty and had been married for three years. I was also having the first grandchild on both sides. They both went off the deep end.

  11. It could be worse. I was standing if front of the bathroom mirror finishing up. The door bell rings. As my father was greeting my date to my Jr. Prom, my mom says to me, "You look pretty tonight. To bad you didn't loose those last five pounds. You would have looked even better." :crying:
  12. I can separate a celebrity from his politics as long as they don't use their celebrity status to advance their political agenda.
  13. I plan on copying my mom as she copied hers. My mother refused gave me permission to shave. She taught me the corect way to shave, but waited until I did it on my own. We laugh about it now. I shaved my legs for the first time before I became very ill. I had a very high fever for days, and my family would take turns rubbing me down. My 7 year old sister was rubbing my legs. She kept saying:confused:, "Mom, Gretchen's legs have prickers just like yours.":lol: It only takes on time.;) I perfer waxing. You only have to go once a month and no nicks or cuts.:001_smile:

  17. We don't have a diving board. We have a diving rock. We purchased to huge flat rocks and stcked them in such a way that the one hangs over the pool in the deep end. The diving board was about $800 where as the rocks cost us $375.
  18. This was about ours for a liner pool with a bluestone pool deck, a 20 foot 18 inch high stone wall, and a bluestone patio.
  19. It is a good rule. I just love my stuff too much to part with some of it. I like the memories they bring back. I cried when I sold my stroller.:lol:
