The hills are terrifying to look at right now. We are well away, but still smoky here. About 40 houses gone so far, and lots more at risk. We just don't have the people to fight something on this scale.

wow, so wonderful of him to tke the responsibility for his classmate. I'd be proud of him too
-
wow, that's fantastic... maybe he needs a course in speed writing (I'm kidding!) It's interesting to hear the kinds of decisions he's having to make in order to be strategic.
Can't wait to hear how it went!!

hmmm our library has them but I have no idea what's in them. I know they have three age groups. I'll have a look next time we're in there

Sometimes yes, sometimes no - when yes, there is nothing I can do about it, and I'm as surprised as you are. I sneeze in "chains" - sometimes so long I have to sit down or fall down as the black spot swim in my eyes. I once got in trouble at school - whole school in the hall, all goes quiet as I let out a series of almighty yell-sneezes. I got hauled into the office and given detention. I chose not to attend it :-) In that case it was probably the waft of over- frgranced girls sitting down around me, making a cloud of sneeze inducing scent.
I *wish* I could silence it when it happens, I really do!

I had to come back to this thread. DD (7) my NONmath kid was sitting at the table this morning with an algebra two workbook reading the explanations and working her way through the problems. Erm. Oops. My best estimate of Miss I-won't-do-anything-if-you-are-watching was 4th / 5th grade.

If hands on equations counts as started then preschooler - 4 or so. He loved it!
Formal bookwork study of what you guys call "Algebra 1" I dragged my feet on and took him along all sorts of other paths until he was 7.5 and I ran out of other things. He did a number of different programmes at his own pace and interest (Fred, AOPS, Khan, Jacobs, Zaccarro and other stuff we have about the place) and is starting Geometry now (10). He never has to look at a concept twice, he often intuits methods and concepts based on very little information, it sticks forever and he can apply it all. I have no idea how his maths brain works, and I have no idea where it will end up.

We'll start sometime next week. Probably. I'm unmotivated and too hot to think about it :-)

I felt that way about school-at-home, but then my kids hit high school and it really does take ALL FLIPPIN DAY. I think that's the real reason all these kids go to regular high schools. If it takes all day, and you're not able to finish in a few hours or field trip twice weekly, that homeschooling lifestyle takes a hit.
oh sorry, I thought I added that... I mean with the little guys. I get that, if you're going to do it thoroughly, big 'uns need time.

Dear In-laws,
thank you for accepting us just as we are. Thank you for listening to my gift suggestions and mking my children very very VERY happy.
Dear Mother
really? You know you made a little girl cry, right? I do hope that made you feel good. Take your passive-aggressive, stalkery, "I know something you don't know" bullcrap and shove it somewhere uncomfortable.

Sigh, the narcissist got me. Through a child, even worse. When will I learn not to give her an in? The child is ok, just confused. I am frustratted and sad.

Those are the colors...don't they have flavors associated with them?
probably, but we call them by colour, cos they're all gross :-) Just for you I will look it up.
orange = orange (original) this is what I mean when I say fanta
bright pink = sour water melon
blue - blueberry (smurfberry)
purple = grape
pink = strawberry sherbert fizz
-
Congratulations... I'll keep you in my thoughts

Y'all don't at least have grape Fanta?
At the moment I can get orange, yellow, purple, blue and pink fantas at the loval supermarket.
In Britain, the pavement (not sidewalk) is the raised part to the side of the road where people walk. The surface of the road is the Tarmac or road surface. You cross the road at a Zebra Crossing or a Pelican Crossing, not a crosswalk. The lights that tell you to watch out for a zebra crossing are called Belisha Beacons.
And here that bit you walk on is a footpath and place you cross is a pedestrian crossing. The road surface is most commonly called tarseal.
Whatever goes on your peanut butter sandwiches? :) Do you not serve mint jelly with lamb? I didn't grow up eating lamb, so it's primarily something I've read about, but I thought it was more spreadable.
Mint SAUCE, not jelly :-), at least around here.

Usually cinnamon rolls - regular for family and gluten-free for me.
I'll also be making breakfast sausage this year. Last year we had corned beef
could you please tell me your gf cinnamon roll recipe? My kids want to try these.
We usually have whitebait fritters and berry fruit... cos, summer!

No pancakes are pancakes. Runny batter that is poured into a pan. Eaten with a fork.
Flapjacks are risen bread dough, stretched out and dropped into 1/2 of hot oil to fry (like 1/2 deep fried). Finger food. It's kind if like a doughnut.
mind. blown. i thought a flapjack was a kind of pancake too

Yes they are, though scones can be sweet and biscuits usually aren't. Also, biscuits are often but not always fluffier than the scones I am familiar with.
US Southern style biscuits with gravy are one of my favorite breakfasts.
I cannot imagine eating scones with gravy.
I have never made scones with egg. My personal favourite no-fail recipe uses, oddly, lemonade (the fizzy drink). Equal parts cream, flour and lemonade (sprite) mix, bake in oven. Serve hot with butter or cold wth jam and cream.
Not here. All those fizzy drinks are lemonade too. San Pellegrino isn't. That's it's own category. It's not sweet enough to be lemonade.
Here they are differnent - lemonade is sprte / seven up - the lemon-y flavoured ones. Fanta is it's own thing. As an aside - that blue fanta yoy can get at the moment? My kids call that smurfberry juice.
Wait, what is a jumper in NZ?
Around here we'd say jersey (knitted, pull over head), sweatshirt (not knitted, pull over head), hoodie (sweatshirt with a hood. Might have a zip), cardigan (opens down the front.
