  1. I would read them in order of publication.

    There is no need to know any of the "history" from the Magician's Nephew to appreciate the books.

    I think the revelation that happens when you read the Magician's Nephew in publication order is so exciting! It's like "Wow, that's so cool!"

     

    FWIW Magicians Nephew is my favourite and I would still recommend reading it in publication order. The light bulb moments are much more intense that way.

  2. It doesn't happen to me because I'm at the end of the conveyer, grabbing things out of the cart, which is between me and the next person behind me. They physically cannot get to the conveyer until I am done and have moved my cart.

     

    This is what I do. Not on purpose to exclude anyone. That's just how I've always done it.

  3. I haven't read the rest of the replies. I would leave it alone. I wouldn't punish him for it. It was an accident and he feels bad. If he didn't feel bad I think it would be a little difference and you'd have to deal with that. I think mercy needs to take over.

     

    I remember breaking an expensive item by accident and my dad didn't talk to me for three days. It was the worst punishment ever. We were just talking about the other day and he was laughing about it and saying how it really was no big deal and he just went out and replaced it. I started crying - I'm an ADULT now, I shouldn't be crying over it. It hurt me so much that my dad wouldn't talk to me I was still emotional 20 years later.

  4. I'm from Toronto and there are pros and cons.

     

    Multicultural - LOVE it!!

     

    People are not as friendly as other parts of Canada and it wears you down. My DH teases me that I can't go out without someone saying something nasty to me and I'm nice and minding my own business. He's watched from a distance and then come in to rescue me. It's insane.

     

    Homeschooling is generally good.

     

    Weather is pretty decent too.

     

    I still want to move.

     

    That probably wasn't helpful.

  5. DH would know the answers to most of the questions and he has only missed one doctors appointment for our daughter since she was born and it was an unexpected emergency visit and he was there as soon as he could be. We usually go together because we both want to be there, not because one doesn't trust the other. Our doctor likes it he says he rarely sees fathers so it's nice that we come in as a family. Plus we use our family doctor instead of a pediatrician so we usually talk about issues either one of us are having too.

  6. Every time I post a reply to a thread (and not a controversial thread - usually stay away from those) I'm told my response will be posted when approved by a moderator.

    This hasn't happened before. Did I do something wrong? Is is because I don't have a certain number of posts? Is this new? It wasn't an issue before.

    I makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong and confused.
