Thanks for the heads up! :)
I was able to install these on a thumb drive. Was pretty quick with a cable connection.

I am not shy, but I am an introvert. I think sometimes shyness and introvertedness (I don't think that's a word, but whatevs) get used interchangeably. I think of shyness as a flaw. People are always trying to get over it. But being an introvert is a trait. It is just how I am. So I have stopped trying to get over it. I'm not a hugely social person. But I can act ok in social situations. It just wipes me out, literally.

How about taco dip? Mix a block of cream cheese, some salsa, some sour cream, and some shredded cheese. Top with leftover salsa and shredded cheese. You can also top with diced onions, green peppers and black olives, if you so desire. Serve with tortilla chips.

We say "oh, bother!" all the time.
Talk about things overhead in a store...I allowed my kids to put a tub of Fluff into our cart recently, (yes, Fluff...moving on) and my youngest loudly lamented that Daddy was going to eat it all on them. The lady next to us in the aisle laughed. To my recollection, I have never bought Fluff at least in my DD7's lifetime. :confused:
And seriously, how can a kid not know who Winnie the Pooh is?? I mean, at least the Disney incarnation??
-
Hoo boy, I'm not sure what I'd do!
But I'm all for waiting until after Christmas to deal with it.
-
Sounds like you've found a great solution. Sorry you're all sick! :( Hope you feel better soon.
-
I agree. But bottom line is unless the kid was somehow violent, there's really nothing to add that would make me think this was justified.
Absolutely, I agree.
However, I suppose my view is colored by the fact that there was an incident at DH's school last year and it was heavily covered in the news and what was reported was only half the story (or less).
-
It is certainly not that way across the board. My DH has the authority to, and most certainly has kept a kid after school and/or had him clean up a mess. Several times.
I guarantee there is more to this story. I also guarantee we will never know what it is.

I got DH a charcoal grey wool jacket from Old Navy. He never buys anything for himself that he doesn't need and I know he'll look hot in it. :001_tt1:

My mom did not think my Dad's name fit him when they started dating (it's a common name) and she gave him a nickname (another common name). I have never understood it, but to this day, the only people that call him his given name are his sisters.
-
Well, I have a name that is spelled "weird". In addition, I have a nickname as my given name, but that's not what this thread is about.
Anywho, my mom has always, always corrected people. To the point that if I am ordering a pizza, she thinks it should be spelled correctly on the slip. I couldn't care less on things like that. On things like ins policies and drivers licenses, yeah, I correct them. But I always cringe when I see young children with weirdly spelled names. I just know...know...they will spend their lives correcting people.

Ugh, I'm so glad you posted because I'm feeling like such a homeschool failure this week. I fully intended on having 4 days of school this week and taking next week off. We have barely done anything this week. TBH, I have struggled the last couple weeks with getting it together.
Part of my problem is that I feel very unorganized. I need to get our school stuff organized. I can never find what I need when I need it. So I am planning on doing that next week. I also want to get a school schedule down, so I have something to follow.
Today, my youngest is watching Between the Lions. That is counting as reading. We are going to make sugar cookies and watch a Christmas movie. :001_unsure:
-
My kids are rarely sick, thankfully, but when they are, I do give them tylenol or motrin.
-
Can't see the pics because I don't have FB, but I responded to you on the other thread.
-
DH's has our initials and the date, mine only has the date, because the initials wouldn't fit.
-
Too late for this year, but what I normally do, because it is too hard to get my kids all looking at the camera and actually smiling at the same time, is I do 3 separate photos, then put them on the photo card that way. Would that work for you next year?
-
We have 10 on our list.
-
I believe the reason for the no one under 13 rule is due to COPPA. That's why Facebook is so strict with it, at least on paper. I know my 10 yo niece has one. :confused:
-
I send photo cards of the kids out every year. I got 50 free cards using an online code, printed out address labels and return address labels and popped them in the mail. Our family and friends live all around the country and for many of them, this is the one time a year that they get to "see" the kids.
-
I try really hard to think of the best possible reason for something and then just assign it to the person. It makes my life more pleasant. For example, I assume people who cut me off in traffic have explosive diarrhea and could not possibly have waited that extra couple of seconds.
:lol:
-
Honestly, I don't think that is harsh.
In fact, I just did the same thing, but on a much smaller scale. My DD just finished working off a $5 book from the library that she lost. She did 5 jobs for me and that paid for it.
Yes, sometimes things get lost, and sometimes it is a mistake. But other times, it is carelessness. Either way, the "thing" has to be replaced, regardless of the reason. Although, I have to say, I've seen my own children take great care with things that they save up for and buy with their own money. I'd wager that your DD does not lose her retainer again!
-
I would not do it. I would put a fair price on the item and go from there.

A frugal person saves money or resources without causing harm to others. A cheap person saves money or resources by causing harm to others.
Thus, at a restaurant a frugal person might drink water and order an appetizer instead of an entree, but she tips the waiter/waitress. A cheap person stiffs the waiter/waitress. (A really frugal person wouldn't eat in a restaurant, but that is another story.)
Yes, this is exactly what I meant when I said there is a fine line between frugal and cheap.
And I would add that it really doesn't matter how well off (or not) the person is. I've seen well-off folks that were cheap and those who were frugal. I've seen folks barely getting by that were frugal and those who were cheap. It is all the intent of the action, not the financial worth of the person.

:lol: Too funny!
Censoring Huck Finn - Have you seen this???

One of the comments on the Yahoo story mentioned censoring/editing a movie, particularly for language, so that it can be shown on TV. It made me wonder what the difference is between that and this...thoughts?
