Another game I played with dd was Math Uno. She had to come up with two cards to add, subtract, multiply or divide to equal the number at the top of the pile. It got challenging!

H.E. Marshall, who wrote Our Island Story, has written books about other countries, as well. She was English (as opposed to American) so her perspective would be a bit different. Check the Baldwin Project (http://www.mainlesson.com) to see how many of her books are online for free. Also check LuLu.com to see which ones you could order.

Dd is a natural speller so I just picked up a Spectrum Spelling workbook at B&N. She likes it a lot and it gets the job done.

Thank you for that. Now it doesn't seem so bad!

'Smath. It's like Scrabble in format, but uses numbers and +-=/ and (). My dd likes it a lot.

I have no idea. I have a freezer full of meat, but a head empty of good ideas.

I was 25 or so. And, I only had uppers, no lowers. They came in at the same time. When they come is typically a matter of genetic heredity.

*sigh* I happen to agree with your son. I guess I just don't want to accept that I'm 41. I don't feel any different than when I was 30. Just Thursday my MK lady was complementing me on my youthful skin and how I have no lines or wrinkles and then the next day, gray hair! It's like a very unfunny cosmic joke or something. I'll see how fast this progresses. If it's just the little bit at my temples, I'll leave it. I'm not sure I want to commit to coloring.

Does this mean I may land a sophisticated man? Hmm, this might not be too bad then. Maybe. LOL

This morning, I woke up to gray hair! At both temples and in my bangs. I swear it wasn't there yesterday. I plucked it out (took an hour to do that) but I'm not ready for this! What can I do about this? Is there an herb, mineral, remedy, anything that doesn't require using chemical dyes? I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE OLD! :eek::mad:

When I finish an edge, I do a zigzag stitch around it to keep it from unraveling. But I only finish edges on seams that no one will see, so they don't have to be hemmed, like the seams of where the sleeve meets the shoulder, etc.

I like seeing the pics in the avatars.

MOH. LOVE it.

There wasn't anyone there I wanted to hear, so I'm holding out for APACHE in Peoria in April.

I started in 2001, when my son began high school.

I Love this format! I'm bookmarking it and everything!

I'm trying to upload an avatar picture and all I got was "upload failure." Ugh. I guess the bugs will be worked out soon. Edited: Look, there it is! :D
