Oh, good. I'm not the only one.

...or letting the tea boil away to nothing.

I have burnt pots and a burnt pan :)

Yes! There should be a thread for these things.

Why do these people post spam in the first place?

:-) Q! (sounds very James Bond-ish, no?)

Very trekkie too! :)

;-)

LOL. Chocolates? Re reruns of his fav shows?

Oooo we want video!

theme songs are surprisingly great!!

Impressive!

Thanks guys. Can't believe how much e-baggage I was carrying. Feeling so liberated!

Want to come over and delete some e-mail for me? Just kidding, it's not really hurting anyone, it just sits there, really.

That's a NIGHTMARE! And I've lived it several times now. :)

Lol. No...dreaming about an only child is still a dream. Living it several times...now, that's a nightmare. Hats off to you! :)

Happy holidays to you and all at home!

Right back at you!

Best wishes to you & your family, too!

He was sad after 10/11/12

Hope 12/13/14 cheers him up!

:)

LOL!

All the instant noodles and genetics started the premature greying in college days. Good luck.

(hiding instant noodles)

LOL! Well, you dreamed it, what are you waiting for? If you build it, we will buy!!

You were in my dream too Rose and you were testing it and loving it. (Yes, I read this forum too much lol). But I don't remember it enough to recreate it. There were lots of game tiles and lots of colors and vintage illustrations on the tiles.

So funny!

My house would benefit if I could develop such an addiction. :-)

If only my house would benefit too. The flesh is willing to use them but the spirit is too weak. :)

That is tempting. :)

Today's a better day than yesterday! :) Thanks ebunny!

Thank you elladarcy! He finishes in about an hour. Will celebrate with dinner outside!

Nice weather too :) Enjoy your exam over celebration dinner.

thank you! {{}}

Get well soon!

thank you {{}}

I haven't tried ghee instead of butter. Enjoy your instant pot :)

four, I hope you liked what you found! :)

Arcadia, butternut squash soup today. Wish I could invite you over! :)

He is also pro-phonics and replied to an email I sent with some phonics info and quotes for him!!

Fantastic endorsements! :) I love his sense of humor most of all. Linguistics is already a fun topic for me but he makes it even more enjoyable.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

It went really well. The kid seems to be a natural (but needs some help to control over excitement about a concept). :)

this is a Happy Thing! I sometimes get over excited about math too ... :)

That's exciting!

DS says he's only seen one HP question so far. Apparently there was a Calvin and Hobbes related question too.

Calvin and Hobbes would be a huge draw here!

:D

If all else fails, try The Grammar Key! I believe that most kids are not ready to understand grammar at such a young age anyway… which is why I don’t hang out here much anymore. :-P LOL.

He'll catch up in no time :)

Thank you both! Have been thinking more and I think it's mostly a usage issue. Going to try the ideas suggested and also not worry too much. :)

Do tell?

Perhaps you should rank them in order :)

Matthew Macfadyen! :)

Some of the newer cars here don't have a CD player! Really! I was so horrified. They have all the bells and whistles but no CD player. So we bought one that has both a CD player and an MP3 thingy. Can I rip my CDs to MP3? I was not sure about that. We don't have laptops with that capability any more. Our laptops are too cheap, just like our car lol.

buy an external CD drive and plug it into your laptop. then, rip your CDs into MP3s and you can listen on your iPods, phones and car as well: e.g. https://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-External-Combo-CD-RW-Burner/dp/B00LZMPYA8

Is there something that will work to allow me to play cds via Bluetooth?

Hey you're on to something. Language instruction books never go out of style - take a look at Strunk and White, and Emma Serl. :D

Antiques :)

If books of any kind constitute an inheritance, my dd should be set for life! ;)

Good idea! We have some recordings of little boy voice telling silly stories. I can't even recognize him as the same person. Happy New Year, quark!

haha! My boys get such a kick out of hearing their pre-15 voices on video!

:) Happy New Year Cosmos and Florida Lisa. I asked him to record a message on his phone and now whenever I call him and he doesn't pick up, little kiddo asks me to leave a message. Sigh, I miss that sweet, high-pitched voice so much.

:) Joan, you solved it! :)

That's better than finding it under someone's bed. Ask me how I know that.

Groan...
