Yumm, I love ice cream too. Who doesn't. ha ha I am a plain kind of girl. I just like chocolate ice cream. No nuts or anything fancy. Breyers has the best chocolate fudge swirl ice cream. If you haven't tried it yet, you gotta. :) Chocolate mint is good too. And I live in South Mississippi and it doesn't really get cold here compared to where I came from in Northwest Missouri. Freezing there. So here in the south it always feels like summer or at least fall. So ice cream 365 days for me too. Oh, the cookout thing is weird though. When I lived in the cold 20 below wind chill climate I still got out there on the grill and cooked out. A good cookout is good anytime of year also, snow/ice or warm weather. :)

Yea, I understand most are doing classical. I've heard that I think. What are the differences between classical and traditional anyways? I'm really not sure even though I've been homeschooling 6 years now. I actually have books posted on 5 different sites. Amazing huh. It just seems like no one is buying books anymore. At least not much this year. Even a friend of mine isn't selling a lot this year. I don't think she has lots of Abeka books for sale either. Thanks for the info. Oh, how come your not homeschooling this year??? Mind me asking? :)

Man, I understand the desperation. I am glad you found some. I was doing fine until I saw that virtual chocolate. Mmmmmm! Chocolate and Pepsi, my weakness. :tongue_smilie:

Hi, I just wondered if anyone uses Abeka anymore. I have some Abeka books for sale and no one is emailing me about them. I'm just surprised I guess. :001_huh: Some of these books I thought would be easy sellers. I have sold alot, but it seems that no one is buying Abeka books right now, or anymore really. I guess I just wondered if anyone else out there still uses Abeka or am I the last one on the planet still using it? :D I like Abeka, it works for my kids. But then again I have other books also for sale that aren't Abeka that aren't selling either. I know it isn't just me. I think lots of people this year are having a hard time selling their used books. What are your guys thoughts on this? Thanks for listening.

Sounds interesting with the grim reaper and all the black. I wasn't able to actually do alot for my 30th last year. I moved down to the Gulfcoast a litlle over 3 years ago. All my family is back in Missouri still. But my mom was able to come down to visit. And of course, I got the royal treatment of the "Look who's 30" sign in my front yard with ballons. So with my moms 50th birthday being only 2 weeks before my 30th, I knew my sis and I needed to do something, I was sure she would repay the favor. And she did. She flew 1,800 miles or so just to decorate my yard they way hers was. Ha ha It was fun. I am real glad she came. I only get to see her twice a year now, if that. And we use to see each other a few times a week and talked on the phone daily. (we still talk on the phone often) So I enjoy her visits. :)

Hi, my mom actually just turned 51 just 2 days ago. So last year my sister and I just bought "over the hill" signs for her house. Big black ballons with 50's on them that say "over the hill." Also she had a necklas of the same thing that she was to wear out to dinner. :) We didn't do a whole lot, but I know she liked what we did do. We picked all that up (well my sis did) at the local party store. I'm 30 also, will be 31 in a 2 weeks or so.:001_huh: I don't think 30 or 31 now, is too bad. That is still young. Just not younger, huh. ha ha Have a great day.

I usually do a PM, but I prefer email because you know they are going to get it. In fact in my FS list I ask to be emailed personally instead of replying to the post because I don't get on the site as often and wouldn't want to miss out on any messages. So I personally like the email thing. :)

Hi there, I am in Gulfport Mississippi. :)

Hi, I sent this post, but it didn't go through, so I am sending again. :) I was saying the only links I know of for Starbase are the ones mentioned here. My Seabee base by my house gave me the site of starbaseatlantis.com but I didn't find anything there. I even tried .org. You guys could try again because I may of missed something. :)

I don't know of any other links. Just the ones mentioned here in this post. The Seabee base here by my house (Gulfport Mississippi by the way MelMac) :) told me to go to starbaseatlantis.com But I didn't get any info that way. I think they may of given me the wrong one on accident. I believe I tried .org also. You guys could try it, I may of missed something.

I guess this program can be through Army, Navy, and I don't know about Airforce. Probably them also. So check them out, too. Thank you to my dear friend Beth for showing or pointing this out for me. I will be sure to let others know that as well. Oh, and sorry I haven't been chatting. I forgot to subscribe to this post and couldn't find it. But hey, if that happens to any of you. I figured it out. Just go to your profile and you will see a place to visit all of your threads you have started or visited yourself. Cool. :)

Thanks everyone!

Jen, this is good. But help, what is rep? I'm a newbee on this site, not sure what tht means. :confused:

Hi Beth, yea, I found you. So happens I subsribed to this one, but I can't find the starbase one. :confused: I think I am figuring out his board some.

I would think the salsa would be fine, but I don't know about the beans. Slimy, hummm. I also go by "when in doubt, throw it out." :)
