I was so bummed by X Factor that I just switched the tv off.

It could be any of those. It could be all of them. It could be none of them. We just don't know.

File the claim. You did your part; expecting them to do the same isn't unrealistic. Hope it resolves in your favor.

The 8G is more than plenty for my DS10.

(((hugs))) to DD and you

Unless it is said by a parent to a child (not in front of the grandparents/extended family/friends), it is rude.

Tib-uh-dough!

I've needed a way to extend our math activity. This fits the bill! Thanks!

Mary Ann, apparently I am your online stalker. (If you show up on the one other board I follow, I'm going to be freaked out!;)) I fixed your link over at the pod. Your dd did a fabulous job! I cannot imagine doing anything in front of so many people. She's my hero!

Boscopup, I'm hoping for some good insights! Laura, I have no idea. Sorry.

Thanks, Snickerdoodle!

Is it just a part of A Plan for Teaching Writing?

I've seen it recommended several times here. I want to download it for the drive to my sister's this week but don't see it on the lecture page. TIA!

Was the neo an ointment or cream? The ointment is in a petroleum jelly base, which melts when it gets warm. That would explain the dripping. I would cover it during the night because the thought of the sheets catching it and waking me up - nope; not gonna happen. Tomorrow let it breathe. Hope you heal quickly!

Neat story!

Happy Gotcha Day!!!

What about the 4-6+ level books? I'm looking for something for 5th grade.

:bigear:

We are currently reading Meindert DeJong's Along Came a Dog. While I don't find the writing style read-aloud-friendly, we are enjoying the story very much. I'll look at Wheel on the School too. Thanks for the rec!

I'm crying for you!

Washer's Wages!!!

I'm home alone tonight. You've convinced me to put on a pot!

This post made me :D! My DS has always been an animal lover. He's never been into transformers or bakugan or whatever most boys are playing with. It was hard to see him rejected on the playground because he didn't have that common point of reference. I cried the first time he showed interest in a transformer toy because I knew it was only an attempt to fit in. I cannot tell you the joy it brings me now (at age 10) to see him play Vet or Animal Rescuer or Poacher Police with his good friends. It is so neat that the other parents sought YOU because your boy has characteristics they want for their children. He sounds like a neat kid!

Hmmmm.... Well, ladies, thanks for weighing in. I do not know a native speaker of Chinese, so unless we make a new friend in the next few months....

It doesn't get done.
