On other patterns I've used with any kind of small loops,
like belt loops or something similar, generally you cut one
long piece (in this case the 3x12 piece). Then after the
pressing is completed, you would divide the strip into
However many loops you need, in this case 2. The thinking
is that it's easier to press one big piece, than a bunch of itty
bitty ones (it's easier not to burn fingers that way for one
thing).
My guess is that the pattern writer simply left out the step
where you cut the pressed rectangle into 2 pieces.
:iagree:

Girls can be colorblind, too. http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=80
Interesting. We were taught that the gene is carried only on the "Y" Allele. I guess my info is outdated. Sigh..... But hey- I can say I learned something new today! :)
-
I'm sure she just fine- I wouldn't worry too much :) Oh- and only males can inherit colorblindness.

Tread lightly here. Has she mentioned adoption? The situation with my second pregnancy was less than ideal. I was absolutely mortified when someone mentioned that I "could" consider adoption. Who did they think they were to make such a suggestion?! My kids and I have a wonderful life now- but that "recommendation" still haunts me to this day. It was not their place- and had they actually wanted my baby as their own, I would likely have cut off all communication with them.

Well, that was nice of you; my own little redhead loves her hair, but gets very selfconscious when other people mention it--which of course they do all the time! (And indeed, there is red hair on both sides of the family, though more on mine.)
I was this way when I was young also. And it drove me' NUTS when people would ask me' where I got my red hair or freckles especially when I was with my dad who resembles a genuine leprochaun. Duh people....

You're all wrong. It's "attorney".

It's hard to look into an animals eyes and not see a soul, don't you think? I'm not a huge animal lover, but I can't help but think they are inherently innocent, free of sin, and therefore already saved :) I can't imagine God wouldn't want his own creatures with him in His kingdom.

We've been using Writing Strands and really enjoy it. It's easy to use, and directed toward the student with some humor here and there.

I would tell her because #1- I would want to know. #2- if I already knew, it should be brought to my attention that this isn't appropriate in a public setting.
-
Yes, absolutely! Only whispers and walking feet.

This happened to me a couple of months ago. The pain in my hip- which came out of nowhere was so excruciating it brought me to tears. It lasted a week. Even Vicodin didn't touch it. Then it mysteriously went away as soon as it came on. Two weeks later I had pain in my chest and found out that the hip pain was a blood clot that moved into my lung. I'm not trying to scare you- but it's worth a doctors visit. I am relatively young (33) and healthy. I was absolutely shocked. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck! Hope it's nothing serious in your case.

I think there is definitely a possibility of psychosis going on in these situations. Pregnancy hormones can be so unpredictable. Obviously they are responsible- but I can't help but wonder what was really going on in their minds. I had severe pp-depression with my first child. I had pp-psychosis with my second. There is no way to describe with words how I felt or what I thought. Thankfully, therapy, medication, and constant companionship helped me' through it. My husband wanted many children- but I knew my state of mind would revert to those horrible thoughts. I just can't help but think these women are not "all there." My heart breaks for their families.

I'm wondering how many book reports my 4th grade son should do during the schoolyear. We've chosen 4 great books to use that are of substantial length. Any ideas or recommendations?
-
I do think they tend to be behind. My son just finished public school (3rd grade) and I purchased TT5 for him. He's on lesson 15 and it still seems to be nothing but review for him. Maybe this has to do with the differing school districts.
-
Ds 9 uses TT5 and loves the cd's. It's a fabulous program.
-
Wow- I guess my thinking is different from many others. I've never felt gift registries of any kind were appropriate. Whether for a wedding or shower of any kind. What happened to sharing in the blessing of cherished company and graciously receiving gifts that the buyer/maker put thought into? Of course, if someone asks what you need or would like- by all means, do tell :) But it seems rude to assume people want to shop from your pre-made list.
-
Oh wow. I was 23 and it was so graphic that I sobbed. And I'm not sensitive to movie violence at all. I will NEVER forget that movie. NEVER. I would not allow a child of any age to watch it.
-
Wow- we have TONS of bats, but this hasn't happened to us in years. Do you think they are living in your attic? If so, I'd probably call a rodent service to have them removed- but not killed! They are so useful. They eat their own bodyweight in Mosquitos every day. We have 3 bat houses outside that the kids built, and they do seem to like living in them.

First I decide how many school weeks we should do. (36) Then I decide how many days a week I will commit (4). Then I go through each textbook/workbook individually and spread it out to fit in our time frame. Some subjects are seasonal, and I figure out when this should be done- with some relating to Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc. I plan the whole year at once. Because we do 4 days at a time, our schedule is flexible- we also start during the summer to take pressure off during the Fall/Winter.

That's awesome! I'd have to get some chickens after that...

If you don't want to say "I know you don't approve, so why are you telling me again?" you could try "You know, you should talk to the man of the house about that. No, really. If you disapprove of his choices for his family, you should talk to him about it. I think his sense of adventure is pretty sexy, actually."
They probably keep nagging at you because they are concerned, which is pretty natural since what you are doing is a bit out of the standard Wonderbread box of existence. It is a good thing that they care, it's not a good thing they are verbalising it so much. :tongue_smilie:

I just finished the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel. It gave me' nightmares about this horrible place.

Thanks everyone, this has been very helpful.
A second question if you don't mind, have you been able to receive enough in spousal support to allow you to continue homeschooling, or have you had to return to work or find supplemental income?
I receive no spousal or child support. I work for my family and make my own hours. I am very fortunate in this aspect. But I am living on a single income and homeschooling- so to anyone wondering- in terms of income- it CAN be done! I budget carefully and I'm just overall thrifty :)

I find it becoming more of an issue for me than it used to be. I see so many pretty girls wearing so little these days, and it just makes me' want to say: "Don't you know your value? You don't need such revealing clothes- people will still see your beauty." yeah, I know- teens have their own ideas of what's attractive. I was the same. I don't have girls, so I don't have to police the issue much- my boys are naturally modest.

Thank you for sharing thus! We are studying moths right now in science :)
