:)

Mine is doing it as well:)

Hi T! Yes, DS saw his name on the class roll! :)

I hope you get a lot! I couldn't believe how low Lake Tahoe was in late June

I know this is the least of our problems, but skiing was terrible last year.

We didn't get many drops over here. :( Hope the fire areas did.

:) Joan, you solved it! :)

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

Groan...

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.

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! :)

LOL!

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

(hiding instant noodles)

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! ;)

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!

We were rained down while walking to library and again to and from Chinese class :) Hubby said it hasn't been raining while driving past NASA and the rain started soon after that LOL

Flowing water in CA!! :D

Some rain made it north! A little is falling now.

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!

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. :)

thank you! {{}}

Get well soon!

thank you {{}}

He was sad after 10/11/12

Hope 12/13/14 cheers him up!

:)

Who says it's bad for you? :)

Hee hee, you guys are funny. :)

MSG's and Natural Flavors are chemicals.

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

LOL. Chocolates? Re reruns of his fav shows?

Oooo we want video!

theme songs are surprisingly great!!

Same to you and yours!

You too!

Many blessings to you and your family!

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.

Adding it to my list!

Loved that book!

Just read the description, & it's now on my list, too :-)

Maybe this would help them remember

to show their work...

:) Fingers crossed!

It doesn't recline all the way unfortunately (cheap mom lol). He makes good use of his desk and chair and worked so hard this past year. It was time for an upgrade!

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.

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

Very trekkie too! :)

;-)

Happy holidays to you and all at home!

Right back at you!

Best wishes to you & your family, too!

? vets don't like the color black?:-D

He he, my pants attract all the other doggy patients' fur. And I always forget this. :P

:-D
