You can choose to upgrade IE or not. But if you do, I'd go directly to their site and download it there.

Really? You have never seen "Sophie's Choice"? "Schindler's List"? "Forrest Gump"? "Band of Brothers" (the most awesome WWII series ever, done by Spielberg)?
I would not have wanted to miss these.
We don't happen to own any R rated movies, either. That's not to say that we never watch them, but it is in fact, rare. BTW, Forrest Gump is PG-13.

HI, Can we view the sample pages of this curriculum somewhere??
-
I shop for DD at Target, Old Navy, and Hanna Andersson. She loves Mini Boden, too, but that is usually out of my price range.

We did it a couple of years ago. I was so excited to start and I'll tell you, the WP catalog still makes me drool, but it just wasn't what I was hoping for. When I pay that much, I don't want to tweak and I don't want to have to supplement. It was difficult to add in my younger kids. It wasn't meaty enough for my older one (he was in 5th grade at the time). The literature selections were not great, either.
-
I just use plastic totes. I only need to keep a few papers (a sample) from each subject per kid. I have 4 years (times 3 kids) in one tote. I also have a binder where I keep our paperwork and test results.
-
Yes, unit conversions are covered in TT Pre-Alg.
ETA: Sorry, I think I misunderstood. Are you asking about the older version? We have the new one.

If you decide to leave her in for the rest of the year, is there any way you can go in and volunteer in her classroom during the reading period? Even just a day or two a week may make a difference.
-
Denise, I hope everything goes well with testing. I hope they are able to see what you're seeing and that you get some good feedback. Go in there with your head held high. You are doing everything you should (and more!). :grouphug:
-
Perhaps you could hide or unfriend certain people? I did a massive unfriending and I like FB a lot more now.
-
I think the title is self-explanatory. :001_smile: Do you think an almost 8 yo little girl would be able to enjoy listening to this story or should I wait until she's older? Some of her favorites are Secret Garden, Little Princess, Harriet the Spy, and Matilda.
I think she'd enjoy it now. She can re-read it when she's older, too.

Re: the long lines for the Eiffel Tower, if you get reservations to one of the restaurants, you get a fast pass to the front of the line. It's pretty cool to eat on the Eiffel Tower, too.

A few ideas...
A craft box - put odds and ends in there and let her get creative. Pipe cleaners, beads, sticky-backed foam letters and shapes, construction paper, scissors, glue, markers, stickers, etc.
GC to the movies, bowling alley, zoo, museum, etc.
A mani at the salon and lunch out with mom.
-
:thumbup: That's great! She sounds like a joy to be around.
-
I use Arm & Hammer with OxiClean. Not sure if it comes in unscented.
-
My ironing board is crooked, too. A child was using it as a desk. :glare:
My youngest is always taking things apart, ie breaking things. He will be 9 soon. He shows no sign of stopping.
-
We sort of used it when what I had planned (and paid for - ugh!) fell through. If you need a schedule where everything is pulled together for you, but allows the flexibility to pick and choose which things to do, I think you'll like it. Plus, you can't beat the price! :D

I don't eat them! :) If I were forced to eat one, it would be drenched in sugar.
:iagree:

Yes, I would have to agree with your first statement - the guy should be made to sit in a jail cell and consider that even a pretend threat is not acceptable. Maybe there is no misdemeanor statute that addresses this kind of behavior. I just think felony assault by intimidation is a bit excessive. Did the deputies really feel intimidated by a finger gun?
Perhaps this is irrelevant, but this makes me think of lots of articles (and tv police shows) I've encountered in the last 20 years or so where someone is receiving credible threats from another person (I think of the battered wife who leaves her husband only to be stalked and hunted down by him or some other such scenario) and the victim goes to the police asking for help only to be told they can't do anything at all unless the guy actually "does" something (whatever that is). Often, the person gets a flimsy restraining order that is not enforceable and ends up dead. I guess I'm just thinking why is it so hard for the average citizen to have someone arrested for making out and out threats to one's life, but all anyone has to do to a policeman is point a finger gun and they get arrested for felony assault. Seems off balance to me.
I admit I had that thought, as well.

I'll be watching for an update. I hope he's ok.

We spent a week in Paris and had so much we wanted to see that we were exhausted at the end of our trip. We hope to go back someday and just be able to walk around and relax at a cafe, browse all the beautiful shops, take our time at a museum or two, etc. Maybe you'll have time to just...be...in Paris. It is so beautiful.

Bolding mineI think anyone who threatens a police officer (in any way shape or form) should expect to spend some time cooling his heels in jail. Regardless of whether you personally have found the police helpful, or believe a particular officer worthy of respect. And he DID absolutely verbally threaten them in addition to the silly finger thing the media has decided to focus our attention on.I think being too stupid to know when to shut your mouth should be at least a misdemeanor also. :tongue_smilie: Oh wait, that's called contempt of court if you're in a courtroom.
The bolded is what I see as a very important point. Perhaps if the man was just upset and said something he didn't really intend to act upon, a few days cooling down with no way to kill a PO would be a good thing.

Sorry - I was going by what a pp said - didn't take the time to go back and read the article. Mea culpa. I will do that now.
I quoted the article (cut and pasted) in my post. I'm not sure where the confusion is.
Apparently I have an old browser....
