Explode the code was such a blessing for ds 6. He abhores sounding out words. He cried over OPGTR. For some reason, he has really caught onto ETC.

I would have totally done this growing up. If I could find a way up something high I would get there. Swing sets, trees, even the refrigerator. Now, um not so much.

Because of this thread, I visited your site and I think it's great! The photo of the day is really neat! I could see that being turned into an iPad app!

Let it ring several times. It might not be a busy signal, but the actual ring. Some overseas rings just sound like long beeps.
:iagree: I ringtone in a different country often sounds like an elongated busy signal!

Kaco's Enchanted Belle of the Ball named by my 4yo after Belle from Beauty and the Beast!

Could he have split personality disorder, anger blackouts, or be bi-polar?

Do you know if thFolgers has anything that IS strong? I don't like weak coffee; I prefer it to be BOLD. :D
Hmmm my dh tried emeril's bold and liked it. I haven't paid attention to the other Foldgers option. Do you have a target or bed bath and beyond? They are sold there too. On the keurig site you can order variety boxes.

Etsy has great PDF patterns. Lots have full color pics and very easy instructions!

Just got an iPad and downloaded Notability. I'm hoping to use it for Mr Q's science worksheets - still trying to figure out exactly how to use it. Will Notability bookmark where you left off? That seems to be missing.
Mr. Q works well. No bookmark function is in place but according to another thread they hope to include it in future updates!

I'm in Canada and have found all the suppliers in town lol. Walmart seems to have the best prices. I've just picked up a box of Foldgers biscotti and vanilla. Man it is awesome! I do not like strong coffee and this is great. I also like anything caribou. You can a,so order from amazon and set it up to autmatically send them to you. If you register your keurig, you get two boxes free when you buy two. Their site has good reviews of all the favors!
Eta: oops, the Foldgers is not decaf. Sorry.

:bigear: I would love these. One question, why is the bar method soooo expensive??
-
I have the iPad app but I have yet to find one book that I can download to it. Most of the books I have actually found when searching on my Mac are for pc only. I don't understand why!
-
Seriously. Why does overdrive have to be so darn difficult? Nothing is available to download on my Mac and forget the iPad. Even if I had a pc every book I've looked at as 10+ people waiting for it. Am I doing something wrong? The whole thing just seems like a total waste of time!

I'm going to tackle the WEM mini challenge so I'm starting with Anna Karenina. I'm also reading, Freeing Your Child From Anxiety.

My dream eliptical would be a life fitness. I'm currently eyeing the live strong ones right now!

I just got my iPad so I'm not certain, but if you use the iCloud feature then everything should be synced. You have to make sure it's installed on all devices and turned on (check) settings. I don't have it on my Mac yet because from what I can tell, I need to pay 30 for a software update app. I haven't tried it with music, but now if I get an app on my phone, it appears on my iPad.
-
so then what did you have to do to fix the problem??
My daughter is not an athlete, she is not a dancer, she doesn't do anything outside of the normal running and playing of a child. So, I don't understand why she even has this problem.
I was born with it. There's no cure. Orthopedist recommended that I never play catcher! I can't get on my knees at all. They still pop when I bend. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
-
I have the same thing. As a dancer, it was terribly painful but I had no clue what was happening. Turns out, my knee joint sits slightly out of sync with the socket. The only way this was discovered was through xrays at an orthopedist.

I don't remember the name of the hotel, but I don't recall it having much in the way of communal space. Thanks for the info on the aquarium and upside down house.
Cindy
I hope it has a pool! With that many, the hotel may let you use it's empty banquet rooms if they are not previously books (especially if it's a smaller hotel). There is also an indoor water park but I have no experience with it.
-
Thanks for the replies. I am concerned about being stuck in a hotel with 19 children while it's rainy and cold all day! Not very appealing. Especially with 11 of them being 10yo and under.
Cindy
Yikes! Where are you staying? There are indoor things to do around town like the aquarium and "upside down house". Mostly tourist traps though. The visitor center for the smokies has a nice indoor area with examples of animals that can be found there and it's free.

Don't get too excited about the skiing in g'burg. It's hit or miss. I think the highs will be in the 50's over Christmas with rain. They do blow snow. I looked at ober's site just a few days ago and it said tubing was not open yet. I don't know if they've not updated or it's really closed. If you are skiing, I would say a very light layer under snow pants. Same for a jacket. You could possibly get away with a water proof parka.
ETA: tn weather can be very unpredictable so I would check daily up until you leave. You might get some snow up on top of the mountain in the higher elevations. You might want to make alternate plans in case you decide not to ski (look at pigeon forge).

:grouphug: It's time for that evaluation. I also love the idea of playing a fire or aquatium dvd. I wonder if having an aquarium (real) in his room would help?
I like that idea too. I would love to have an aquarium, but worried about it being in his room. I'm going to try that after we move.

Aspie thoughts have come up but, he doesn't have the social issues. With adults, he is very talkative and not afraid to ask lots of questions. He talks with other kids fine but he does seem to become very immature around new friends. He has a very high vocab and is extremely logical. He is obsessed with all things war right now including war strategy. He has terrible self esteem. We let him play very advanced Xbox games because it's the one thing he feels he is good at. He is a very reluctant reader mainly because if something in his world is difficult he shuts down, gives up, and starts verbally berating himself. Fine motor skills were behind but he seems to have gained confidence. He still cannot ride a bike, tie his shoes, or zip up a jacket. The one things I'm trying to decide how to handle is his "monologues". He will start in on a topic usually related to a game or a battle. He tells me random aspects about and can. Not. Stop. He will usually go on for about 3-5 min. Infomercials are the worst. I was told that I needed to buy the "no no" because it removes hair down to the shaft. I had no idea it was a real product until I caught the commercial. I've been trying not to hurt his feelings so I will say uh-huh until he's done. If I try to interrupt, he talks over me or gets really frustrated.

No words of wisdom but here are some hugs ((hugs)).
I still use the tv at night because I'm afraid of the dark. I have weird feelings about the tv at night but I'm not going to jack your thread.
It's ok, I don't mind! At night, we leave it on treehouse which is a sprout type channel or his favorite cartoon channel which shows all the retro cartoons.
For Sell and I will sale this for $. Is this error just a Southern thing?

Being from the south, this thread bothers me. I'm not an uneducated hillbilly just because I was born in tn!
