Hit me up in May!!

Seattle :wub: I would never live anywhere else. I can't find anything bad about this place Although our best friends live in NH. But I wouldn't live there. I can't handle snow

:ph34r: :biggrinjester: Sorry this is my first time on this new board and I like those smileys. Though I'm not sure what that first one is supposed to be, I don't have my glasses on. This is exactly what I think about it. It's stupid in fact. I think it's great that kids can learn about and celebrate all relgions, but why the heck can't they just have a Christmas party? They can have a Kwansa and Hanukkah party too. PC obsession just steels the fun out of everything. Kids don't see prejudice and intolerance until we give it to them.

It does not need to slant. I could turn my kids paper sideways and they would find a way to twist their arm to write straight up and down. It does not need to slant. Slant has more to do with style and I do not think you should push style, just legibility.

There's a day for this? :confused: I'll pass.

Exactly. I was trying to figure out how to word that without using one hundred words.

Well if you are going to call gentle parenting nonsense :glare: Hitting is not a requirement for having respectful children. There is no way to draw a line between spanking and hitting vs what age it becomes what.

YES. I despise the word obedient. It sounds like dog training.

Just dab some bleach on it and say "Oops I went a little cleaning happy."

Interesting

Holy moly that's a lotta hassle they are suggesting. I'd just stick it in a bathtub or sink. It will be fine.

If you ask my dh this is already a huge problem. He has a hard time finding really good people. ETA: but I think it's attitude more than anything. And laziness. I don't think humans as a race are somehow becoming stupid

:lol::lol:

I hope you can find the TWSS. Watch it and you'll see how easy it is. You don't NEED anything else, but you can do either the SWI-A or a theme based. ETA: In answering your question regarding watching them every year. No you do not need to. The DVD's basically teach you how to teach each unit. I have re watched two of them just because I find them so helpful and inspiring

Yeah but you can make floor length curtains for around $40 AND they have free shipping over $35. :lol:

Do you know about fabric.com? Look at Premier Prints. Most my home decor fabric is from Premier PRints. It is great quality and good priced. If you have aqua in your kitchen, this fabric would tie in well. I have it in my sewing room for curtains. turqoise I have the "Tuscany" print in the turqoise.

And you can't go wrong with BM Affinity line http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/for-your-home/color-gallery#&ce_vm=2&ce_col=AFF

Me too. I like the dose of bright but not in every single space.

Dill pickle is a really good one too. It's not quite so loud. I tend to like greens. It makes me happy. My favorite blue is Paladian Blue from BM. I have Sherwin Williams Crescent cream in my largest open space. It kind of looks like candle light and glows a soft apricot

Yeah it's funny. My mother bought me the one I had and I bought her the ceramic one LOL. We both chucked them within a year and laughed about it.

Well I've been accused of weird before. I try to embrace it. I have so many colors all over my house. I will say, that if you see a paint color you like, go one shade lighter on the color strip. Once it's up WHOA. My favorite green of all time is Wales Green by BM. I do believe it needs some natural light though. It is not as yellow as it appears in many online images. Much of my main areas are a neutral with a soft apricot glow. One thing you do need to start with, is lighting. You cannot really brighten a room with paint. Some colors are better with natural light. VIbrant colors being some of them.

I remember when *I* was a teen, my mother would get SO annoyed at this freaking woman from church with a toddler constantly giving her advice.

You forgot the option "day after Halloween" I FORBID mine from doing it before, otherwise they would. We've got lights up already. ETA wow how did I miss that one? :lol: Ok I voted

DANG. Well gee I'm just being honest. And I love Denise and she knows I don't look down upon her bedragglement.
