  1. This may sound tacky, but when we put my beloved dog Lucky down, I took the girls out window shopping. We actually window shopped and talked about Lucky the whole time we walked. I just felt that it was better than us sitting around an empty house, looking for her all day. We stayed gone most of the day until the three of us decided that we were "ready" to go home and face a Luckyless house. It really helped. I second the poster who said to have a good talk with your vet.
  2. We take outside classes, which is about eight hours total a week. Their homework time takes between 10 and 15 hrs. per week.
  3. 75 miles from galveston here. power is already out across the street at 8:30 p.m. central. A ten-year old boy on our street was killed today when a tree his dad cut down fell on him. he was cutting it down so that the tree would not fall on the boy's bedroom.
  4. That would probably be CBT - Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. It has helped me a lot.
  5. I have never required it, only that they know how to read and write cursive.
  6. I am currently brushing up on my Spanish. I had nine years of Spanish but haven't used it in years. I just bought some advanced grammar books at Barnes and Noble. Also, I have the Alpha Omega course on Power Point which I need to do soon because I am looking for a job and it is listed on many job requirements.
  7. We had a MAJOR infestation last month and did not have the money for an exterminator, so we set off about five or six flea bombs in the house. That didn't seem to work. It wasn't until we spread Sevendust in the yard that they finally died. We have been flea-free for a month. Total cost was under $50.
  8. One dd went through Earobics 1. I did not see improvement. She also went through Samonas. Again, I never saw improvement. My other dd, however, went through Samonas and saw improvement. However, she is 15, and feels like she wants to go through it again.
  9. I know of no other DVD curriculums besides A Beka or BJU. SOS is a CD program where the student types in the answers. I guess you could call Teaching Textbooks or DIVE that type of program, too, since the student does not enter the answers in those, either.
  10. And I also think that reputable people are expected by the customer; they don't just show up at your door offering meat that someone else has cancelled.
  11. The "someone cancelled their order" line has been used on us here in Texas, as well.
  12. I saw it last night with my 18 yr old dd. This is not my type of movie so I cannot give it a "grade." I had a hard time following things, especially towards the end - the frames moved pretty fast. I would have to go back and see it again, I guess, to pick up on some of the dialogue I miessed. (I heard the audience laugh several times when I hadn't heard the dialogue.) I personally don't have a desire to see it again, though. I can see how playing a role like this day in and day out could really mess with someone's head and cause them to have difficulty sleeping or with depression. (Heath)
  13. At the end in "Ghost" when Sam says, "The love inside, you take it with you."
  14. I don't think they're actors. Didn't someone from this board have a friend who was on WS?
  15. I have manicures and pedicures, not very often, especially on the pedicures.
  16. I don't know much about them. We have never spanked here. Dds are 18 and almost 15 and are very respectful to us and others. They always say that dh's lectures are worse than a spanking. I don't know; maybe we just got lucky?
  17. We have homeschooled her since 3rd grade, and I retained her one year. Wish it could have been more, but she is anxious to move on with life.
  18. Yes, I am completely petrified of tree roaches. When I was about 8 yrs old. I was sitting in a fig tree cutting designs in leaves. My scissors fell below into a compost pile. I just down into the compost pile to get my scissors. Hundreds and hundreds of tree roaches came out of the pile all over my body. All I could think of was the fire safety mantra "Stop, drop and roll." When I rolled on the ground, some of them crunched. I have been petrified ever since.
  19. Well, I first started my blog so that people could read excerpts from the book I am writing, but then a writer told me not to do that. So then I started taking my camera everywhere with me and shooting funny signs, things that were out of the ordinary. Now I tend to post OCD cartoons, videos that call to me, or just blurbs about our daily life.
