The member list is showing 3,259, and it appears that at least 90 people have joined since April 1. None of these names had posted yet.
I find that a little odd. Why join and not post? Just introverts reading our genius blather?

NO IDEA on prices really, but I had not looked at your blog before and I did, and saw your Wichita pictures! That is where I am from. It was so cool to see those. And they are excellent. I would say start the season out on the high end price wise and you can always lower. They look superb to me.
People really like to have nice pictures of where they live though. So it might be a really hot item!

I am fairly new here myself, but I am kind of on here a lot! (no life, you know?) Anyway, I was starting to recognize some familiar faces replying over and over, but then it suddenly seemed like A LOT of new people were on. Does it ebb and flow like that? What do you think they would do if this board got just huge? I have thought about telling my HS friends about the board. But what if all 20 of them started posting. Wouldn't it get enormous? Just a random thought. For you old timers, is it a lot bigger than it used to be?

I live in Ohio now, but grew up in Kansas. Where in KS are you?

Last time I read one of your posts, you weren't moving! Sorry for all the upheaval. I would try to really relax about school. Do the minimum each day so the kids stay in the routine, but feel free to really slow down and limit it. I wouldn't worry about the lost education time as bit. I only worry about getting the kids out of their pattern and habits. Are you feeling ok emotionally about the move?

Tried this in General and got nothin! Anyone here?
Just read a thread about loving MFW curriculum for first and second grade. This led to a blog post by someone saying she would read dd a section of the MFW Bible curriculum and have her daughter narrate it. That is what I want to start with dd next year. She will be doing half K half First grade material. BUT I don't really want to get MFW curriculum.
Can anyone recommend a Bible story book for age 6-8 ish that you love? We have "The Jesus Storybook Bible" http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Storyboo...7853653&sr=8-1 and absoluelty love it, but need something a little more in depth to read next. Anyone used any by Macarthur? TIA

That is not the kind of printer I have, but I just discovered that Walgreen's (and probably some other drug stores) will refill a cartridge for about a third of the price of buying a new one at Staples. It turned out quite well.

Anyone have a good website where I can get landscaping ideas or ideas for "decorating" my deck?
-
I think this is a tough line to walk. I LOVE seeing my kids really interested in something and I want to enjoy that and encourage them, but I don't want to pigeon hole them either.
I am also an "analyzer." When they start to show an interest in things I think a lot about what that "means." They love coloring....will they be super artistic, or is it just a phase?
Also, my parents never gave us accolades for anything except "being good," so I try to be quick to compliment them.
This doesn't answer your question, but I understand where you are coming from. :)

I don't know if you can, but it's helpful to go and sit in on a class. I looked into it for next year for my 4 yr old (he'll be 5 in the fall). I was mainly looking to meet some hs families and new friends for my kids. I really liked the people and I went to an info session and though it sounded great. But then we went and sat in on a class and I decided it wasn't for us. I know others who do it and love it...it just wasn't for us but I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't gone to the open house. In my opinion, it's also very expensive so I wanted to be as sure as I could before doing it.
This was my EXACT experience. It sounded good in theory, but when I sat in on it, it did not feel right for us. ALso, it is a pretty big commitment as far as your curriculum. I felt like if I did their stuff, it would be difficult to do the other things I am excited about doing with dd.
-
1.) Do I have to report (in the state of Ohio) that I am hsing dd for Kindergarten?
2.) Even if I don't have to, I think I want to anyway because the in-laws are so nervous that someone is going to take me to jail if I don't that they will sleep better if I do. So how do I do this?

DH and I are trying to read and understand Chinese tax law to help our Chinese friends do their taxes!
Also the master bath is gutted, laundry is piled so high that we are out of pants and I am wearing DH's pajama pants, and dd #1 cannot hear so I have to take her to the ped today! (no real worries, I think it is a bad case of swimmer's ear)

I was in a lot of plays in HS, but the most notable was Wilbur in Charlotte's Web! :lol:

I had a two year old last year. Can't believe what a difference a year makes. 3 and 5 is SO much easier than 2 and 4!
-
just added it up (which I rarely do) and our family of 2 cars spent $200 on gas last month! dh works close to home. anyone else keep track? does this seem high?
-
That cleared it up for me!
Good. I posted that because I was just reading her blog and cannot believe all the crazy hours it takes to write and research all that. Of course, she must also love it, but I can't imagine that it pays what it is worth!
-
You shouldn't have used the word "tacky" in the subject line- it really opened you up to much more criticism.
If your post were worded differently, it would be received differently.
I see that now. I thought it would help clarify that I wasn't asking for tacky reasons, but alas, it did not!
-
I agree. This is very tacky and does not belong here.
Sorry sorry sorry...don't hate me. I meant it as a HUGE compliment to her, that I think she should make tons of money at it and that it is such a worthwhile thing and that often in this society worthwhile things don't earn a lot of money but that because this is such an enormous undertaking I hope that she would. Hope that clears things up a little. Can't find a sheepish smiley.

OK..I used to BE an English teacher, but I need help with something anyway! No flames please.
I am trying to explain to my Chinese friend why you say..
"I will come you your house Tuesday" instead of "I will go your house on Tuesday"
and also
"I will bring my tax documents" instead of "I will carry tax documents"
Yes sorry, it was a typo. My Chinese friend wants to say " I will go to your house on Tuesday" and I thought she should say "I will come to your house on Tuesday. Sorry!

I used Phonics Pathways and OPG. My dd sounded out every word for 6 months or more. She only recently started reading words without sounding them out. All you are doing by making them repeat the page is teaching them to memorize those lines of words...which is not necessary and will be tedious for everyone. If he can sound out all the words, move on to the next page. Good luck it is so cool when they really start to get it!

Have you lost weight? (not that you needed to. I have no idea what you look like!!!) Just can't imagine that you didn't w/out sugar or dairy!

Go Kansas! I lived in Wichita for 18 years!!!! Only too bad it won't be Roy Williams coaching them to victory. Where are you in KS?

Is the board suddenly growing?
