  3. Taking our lab in to be put down today. Sad and second guessing myself. She's been a faithful friend.

  4. Is there a decent Audio book for Lord of the Rings?

  5. I am a new homeschooler this fall and selected all of your curriculum offerings. My dilemma is that i have a third grade daughter and 4 year old daughter. My 4 year old is going to a Baptist school that uses A-Beka and they claim to have kids "reading" by Christmas and they teach them cursive in the 4 year program (which makes sense to me now that I have been exposed to the concept)..

  8. Should I hide from the children on the front porch or in the bathroom? There's no chocolate involved, but wine will be after they're in bed!

  9. Poor family! After browning the garlic, onion, and ground turkey in olive oil, and adding two quarts of chicken stock, I added the diced vegetables, then the brown-and-wild rice combo puchased in bulk. Instantly, an army of dead bugs floated to the top of the dutch oven. Prospective dinner literally went down the drain. Hello bowl of cold cereal.

      I know it is upsetting, but my family would be all YEAH! Cereal for dinner!

  15. My son just put a load of wet towels into a dryer full of clean clothes. #13 year old boys need to use their brains

      Funny. My experience with 13 yr old boys is their brains are on vacation and will not return until much later.

      Was it here in? If so, contact a moderator and let them know what happened. If you have PMs or Email from the buyer then that is even better.

      Well, once they hit adulthood it gets worse, now they begin to treat you like you are on the edge of dementia
