Are people going to get all self righteous if we talk about the noms or is that just for the gowns?
-
But I still think it looks insane if you show it to an outsider: look, here is a board of WTM homeschoolers, probably the most rigorous homeschoolers out there, committed to intellectual and academic pursuit. And look, they're discussing GOWNS.
Anyone who has ever crafted a gown themselves would get why its not senseless to discuss it any more than it is senseless to discuss architecture or painting.
But then, I read fashion magazines and I never use the word 'womyn'.

One more yup. Like she was coming out of her own skin. Liquid albuterol. She did okay with the inhaler. Sorry. :grouphug:
My girl did outgrow her resp problems. It can happen.

A little dab will do ya.

"A husband snores.
A child asks for another drink of water, then goes back to bed, again.
A toddler tortures a cat.
While a woman sits... still typing..."
How am I doing so far??? :lol:
*SNORT*
*HONK*
Stop.

Its so pretty and girly and airy-fairy and she is more handsome and stately. I think the contrast between the two images is not ideal. A column of weightier fabric and more architecture up top would have been my pick for her. In a strong color.
It will look lovely in the Smithsonian though.

Please don't call me, "Hon". You may call me ma'am, Mrs. Buller, or even Mindy. But, I don't like it when someone half my age that I do not know calls me "Hon"!!
Have you noticed this new thing of waitresses calling people "Hon"? It irks me!!
If this is a new thing then Indiana was on top of this trend at least 30 years ago. :001_smile:
But, yes, very inappropriate to refer to an woman older than yourself that way.

Well, I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.:tongue_smilie:
All right, which one of us shot the deputy? Time to 'fess.
-
I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

To me the demands of good citizenship are clear.

Well, no point in further discussion then.
-
Yes.
Thanks, Lisa and beans! Typo in our book then, I guess, because it did not ID "It" in that sentence as a subject pronoun.
-
"It" is the subject, and "I" is the predicate nominative.
But "It" is a subject pronoun here right?
-
The sentence:
It is I.
Isn't "It" a subject pronoun?

So, do you (not *you* specifically, Amy, but all who are worried about government-provided healthcare) dislike this rationing of services? Or isn't it better that less government money is being spent?
People can still get health care if they'll just pay for it with their own money. Which is the point, right, that if one wants health care, one should simply fork over the money, and if they can't, then that's just the way things are because we shouldn't have a nanny state.
I don't think we can on the one hand be alarmed that health care is going to be provided and then be alarmed that it isn't going to be 100% coverage of everything everyone desires to have covered.
Government will not be providing this health welfare by paying for it from a magic pot of gold. We'll be paying for it with increases in our taxes (well, those of us who make enough to pay taxes) but it won't be as good and we won't have other options.

My dh and I found during the fall as we interacted with people about the election that there was a lot of verbage to the effect that we are entitled to free health care, jobs, education, and a standard of living based on our abilities. What always came to mind for me was "From each according to his ability to each according to his need."
Yes, I think that our government is shifting radically in the role it plays. I think that the people are endorsing this change through election. My general experience is that many people would prefer a well-fed, complacent life than one with more risk and greater potential for failure or success.
I also think there's another group of people who believe that they will be benevolently doling out their comparable wealth to those in need with no significant change in their standard of living but a tremendous sense of righteousness that will come from their charity. Some of those people will be right (Barbra Streisand)...some will be disappointed to find that they will end up not being able to give once their extra bit is apportioned away.
And there's another group that can't stand to think that others have more than they do. They will give up the chance to succeed to see those who already have brought down a notch.

You're very, very good. My hat is off.
Oh, and :lol::lol:

And if I was a small business concerned that I would not legally be allowed to sell it in a month i would be doing a clearance.
Better to take a little loss than a total loss. I am fairly sure they will change the law... but would you risk everything on it?
Trust me, if this were a small company selling free range, fair trade, organic, whole grain, cage-free, no GMOs, dolphin safe tofu steaks the uproar would be deafening.

I would say 4.5 days. I don't introduce new material on Friday. We do tests/quizzes and any projects for the week on Friday. Its generally pretty low key and quick.

What can make you become more aware and feel your heart beat?
Stress, caffeine, reflux, pregnancy can all increase heartbeat awareness. And most frustrating of all...a few episodes of heartbeat awareness can increase heartbeat awareness. It can kick of an unnerving cycle that goes: episode of heartbeat awareness ---> stress about heartbeat awareness --->increased heartbeat awareness ---> more stress about heartbeat awareness ----> you see where this is going?
Never hurts to bring it to your physician's attention if for no other reason than peace of mind. :001_smile:

NFrom what I've read, they have the child re-order things or imitate the model using little tiny tweaks. He may get bored if it's just 1 Aesop's Fable after another - he's heard many of them already.
No, its not just Aesop's Fables. The first 4 or so are but there stories from James Baldwin and there are classic fairy tales and Bible excerpts. You can also select your own models.
I am using WWE 1 with my 1st grader and Aesop B with my 4th grader. I am very happy with both programs but I think I will shift my younger child to CW Aesop in third grade. It has just worked so well for us. I intend to continue on to Homer next year. It *is* teacher intensive (the workbook helped me a lot though) but I could see big results.

We're doing great with Lively Latin.
That's us. Very happy with Lively Latin.

:eek: That IS a lot!
I pay $95 for a cut, color, & styling. I was feeling pretty extravagant about doing that 2x per year. If nothing else, your $310 made me feel better about my $95. :D
I hope you can enjoy your new "do" even if the expense hurt a little!
Haha! My salon bill looks good by comparison too! But, sounds like it was worth every penny!

From a friend's blog:
Eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the editor of New York's Sun, and the quick response was printed as an unsigned editorial Sept. 21, 1897. The work of veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church has since become history's most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, and other editorials, and on posters and stamps.
"DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.
"Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
"Papa says, 'If you see it in THE SUN it's so.'
"Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
