Her response "why would you not be sleeping well over that?"
To which I might have had to answer, "How could YOU not be losing sleep over THAT?"
:001_huh:

Pay off everything. Set up college funds for my kids, my nieces and nephews, and any other young person I know that I just think is a neat kid.
Fully furnish a hospital run by a friend deep in the Africa jungle.
Fund a building project in Haiti in which another friend is involved.
Buy that beach house, who cares now what the hurricane insurance premiums run?!!
Hire a personal trainer.
Eat quality food. Organic, drug-free, etc, etc.
Travel, travel, travel - for service, education and leisure.
And I would never set foot in WalMart again.
:iagree:

I would pay off my debt.... and then make a serious offer to my grandfather to buy the house we're living in. If he had cash for his house, he could retire now instead of working himself to death.
I would also buy my parents' houses. (Like, pay off the one my dad & stepmom live in, pay off my MIL's mortgage, and buy a small place for my mom nearby.)
I would set up a trust with proceeds going to the food pantry that my church operates.
I would get my divorce finalized and thank God that Ohio isn't a community property state.
I would upgrade all of my photography equipment.
Then I would travel school with the kids for a few years. Or forever. I would use this district as our residential home base.... Or maybe buy a place in Texas so I can call THAT home and have no restrictions for our now-literal homeschooling journey.
Oh. You just wanted one...

So you all who scrub inside, you drain the water first, I'm assuming? I don't even know how to do that. Ugh.
I think if you turn the water off to the toilet (ours has a valve right behind it), and then flush it twice, it should be empty. Going to try this now.

Always a clarification...
I do have another gift for them. My aunt made their nursery curtains, and I made them a quilt and 2 floor pillows that go with their theme.

Poll coming!!
I have a baby cradle that my mother used when we were babies. She gave it to me when she moved right after I got out of high school. It still meets safety req's. I used it for my children as infants. I want to keep it to give to them when they have children. But.... I also want to share it with my brothers.
My SIL (brother's wife) is having her baby shower this weekend. I was going to give her the cradle at the shower. Buuut... is it tacky to give a gift that is expected to be returned at some point?
I mean, I don't anticipate needing it back until my kids are grown or my other brothers (aged 18 and 11 right now-- not likely to be having babies anytime soon) start their families. B & SIL would of course be welcome to use it for this and any subsequent babies they have in the mean time.
I guess I don't have to share it at all, but I thought it would be a nice thing to do. What says the Hive?

Eh... Organize?
I'm doing good to keep them all on shelves at a given time. Meh.

what if we like our stereo???
Ah. Right. When I edited, it didn't update. Duh!
I just found. Soooo... I assume you could do that to pretty much any car with a cigarette lighter outlet. -
The requirements for working adults extends to volunteer and unpaid work, so I would imagine it would extend to homeschooling as well...
-
We called it "Mom! He hurt me!"
:tongue_smilie:

We had to install a new stereo to add one, IIRC. I think the stereo was less than $150 and my husband installed it in about 20 minutes. I believe Best Buy installs them for you if you buy a stereo there.
ETA: I just found

No need to freak out. A nurse will likely come to tend to the line. My grandma had one for a while, and the nurse came as long as her insurance would cover it, and on her last 3 visits, she showed me how to change the dressing on the line properly. It does seem scary at first, though!

I know, right? I keep walking away and coming back because I just... can't.... stop looking! Turning off the router....

Wow...really? :confused: I can't imagine this.
Unrestricted private televisions in their room and you aren't concerned with what might be going in those little minds? The unbelievably graphic bedroom scenes? The horror movie previews on commercials during other shows? Heads exploding in movies? News reports about the latest dude who killed and dismembered some child (right now in our news)?
Some things just should not ever be viewed, especially by children.
My kids have a cable tv/dvd player in their bedroom. If they choose to watch television in their room, they pretty much choose to watch Sprout. Or sometimes Phineas & Ferb. Otherwise, they have a nice little DVD collection to choose from. Of course, they spend the vast majority of their time outside until it gets dark... So. Yeah.

Day can only get better from here right?
I have a little statuette on my bookshelf that says:
"One day as I sat musing, sad and lonely and without a friend, a voice spoke to me from out of the gloom saying, 'Cheer up. Things could be worse.' So I cheered up. And sure enough, things got worse."
:lol:

Nope. Maybe it's regional. I'm from Ohio. I would say maybe it's because I'm 26... but we lived with my grandmother most of the time, and she didn't do that either.

I don't think Primetime is garbage, so my opinion may be different than the majority on the board. Lol. We enjoy our sitcoms and series.
To answer your question, both children (ages 3 and 10) have pretty much unrestricted access to television (cable)... with a few exceptions. We do not allow Two and a Half Men for the 10 year old. We do, however, allow most other shows; our 10 year old daughter's favorites are Criminal Minds and Bones. Our 3 year old son is a fan of Umizoomi. Both have televisions (with cable) in their bedrooms.
I'm with you. And my DS loves Bones!

I could have been E____ from N____ School. E could be one of those people who has a strong memory for names, facial bone structure and features, and intuitively know how someone will look as they age. Twice I have immediately recognized jr or sr high school classmates who were merely passing acquaintances twenty or more years ago. Routinely I recall names and faces of people I meet briefly at seminars, receptions, etc. Long ago I learned to not just walk up to them later as if I remembered them because they would feel put on the spot.
:iagree:
I remember pretty much everyone I've ever met. Often people I went to school with for 13 years will only remember me as an appendage of my younger brother. If people recognize me at all, it's usually: "You're DC's sister, right?" My response is generally, "Um. Maybe. How much money does he owe you?" ;)

Forgive me if you don't share my humor; it's been my coping mechanism.
Really, though, he doesn't need *medical* care daily. He needs supervision, meals, and interaction. Homehealth would be cheaper, but he wouldn't have people.
A good sense of humor is important when you're dealing with a long-term situation like you have been. :grouphug::grouphug:
I've worked as a homemaker/personal care worker and for most of my clients, a lot of our service time was spent on outings. We had clients who went to adult day care, but a lot of what was needed was taking people to euchre day at the local senior center, or things like that. Our senior center doesn't offer any support services, though.... If it did, we would have been redundant and unnecessary for a lot of people.
ETA: You might want to look and see if your area has something like this. They provide supervision, transportation, meals, socialization, and employment. It's a great program, but I don't know if there are places like this everywhere.

What types of illustration are you talking about? Are you simply manipulating photographic images? If so, then Gimp is an option, as would be Adobe Elements or Photoshop if you're talking higher end stuff. But when you say illustrator programs it implies that you are looking for a vector program that creates postscript images. If that is the case, then the best program is Adobe Illustrator. That is a professional level graphic design software that is usually used along with Photoshop and a page layout program like In Design or Quark Express.
Sorry, that's the full answer. But I come from a graphic design and fine arts background and that's my world.

If she has evidence for any of what she alleges, her civil rights were grossly violated and she deserve compensation, whatever I think of driving around with $13,000 in cash and a couple rifles and ammo in the car.

I think, but am not sure, if you're just putting music onto your computer from CDs, they may not be compatible with iPods, anyway. Right? Any Apple fans out there? I think you'd have to purchase all your songs all over again from the Apple iTunes store, as their digital versions of music aren't compatible with what you've downloaded. (Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong...)
You can use music you've ripped from CDs onto your computer on an iPod. You just have to download iTunes and it will convert them into the right format for an iPod. And I use non-Apple products with my Mac all the time with no problem. I have a tablet that works with my iPod and my Mac.
I got checked out by a teenage boy!!!

I've had the opposite problem. I'm 26, and I've recently had adult people (at least 21) call me Ma'am. I am NOT old enough to be a Ma'am to a grown person!!
