Cap erasers are always a part of the end-of-summer uber cheap offerings at Staples, Office Max, etc. I buy several packages and use them throughout the year/

I only ate there twice in all that time. Jungleland was too far from Tomorrowland and used up all of the break time to get there and back. Did you go back to the park on your days/evening off and go dancing? We enjoyed the big bands at the Carnation stage. Now, for you really old timers... Does anyone else remember when Disneyland had the pack mule attraction where you rode mules on a trail? Did any of you get a real Mickey Mouse Club membership card at the clubhouse on Main Street? Mine is dated 1962!

Shining at the end of every day. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, and tomorrow is just a dream away.....man has a dream and that's the start, he follows his dream, with mind and heart, and when it becomes a reality......." it's a dream come true for you and me! I loved that magical building that turned around the stage!

Me too! We could see the fireworks from our back yard. I also worked there during college (weekends, casual seasonal) and summers! Storybook boats and then the shops on Main Street and Tomorrowland. Long Ago. 1975-1979. My dad drove the steam train part time in Disneyland's first years. He was a school administrator by day. So, what high school did you attend?

There are many good lists here. One thing we did differently for my mother, who was wheelchair bound from age 28, is to have two shower heads, one low enough to reach from her wheelchair and on a separate control. A hand-held unit was too difficult to manage. Also, countertops--kitchen, bathroom sinks, were lowered to make for easier access. We also had pull out cutting boards. Be aware of door widths and clearances, lips on entries, and seating arrangements which would exclude a wheelchair--i.e. leave a space open in the living room conversation grouping and a convenient space at the dining table. When we were growing up front loading washers were very hard to come by. Now it is easy to have front loading laundry which is wheelchair friendly. Also, towel racks and closet rods need to be lowered to be reachable. Be sure the clothing rods in the closet are not set too far back in and are low enough to reach easily. Kitchen cupboards need to be organized so that frequently used items, dishes, etc. are within easy reach from a wheelchair, too. This does have implications for child safety. Best wishes in your new home!

My childhood home is now a parking lot.

We bought a Sleep Number bed 13 years ago and still love it! We have different needs, are getting older, and have back problems. This bed has done wonders.

WW1 and post: "Goodbye to All That," by Robert Graves I would then add some Woodhouse to balance it.

I drive a 1988 Volvo 240DL wagon with @600,000 miles on it. My children are grown, and I love to remember the carseats and busy little boys in it. I hope it lasts forever (it kind of already has). One son has a 1973 VW Bug he restored, and another son has a 1991 Volvo wagon. My husband drives a 1999 Subaru Forester. We can afford newer, but we like these. My husband is in the market for a hybrid SUV-Lexus, perhaps, but he is looking for older models.

My seventh grade English teacher brought a group of us, all girls, together, to tell us that she belonged to a coven, was a witch, and we should join. She gave us reading materials and objects and pushed it a bit throughout the semester. My ninth grade science teacher was having an affair with the 14 year old girl who sat next to me. They were married during the following summer. My eleventh grade chemistry teacher was stealing everything he could get a hold of. He was discovered later that year with a house and garage full of AV equipment, electronics, etc. He was fired mid year. We had learned no chemistry, as he spent the time telling tales from his war experiences. My grades 10-12 French teacher was having affairs with various boys over the years. He was brutally murdered in his home by one of them my senior year. Of all of these unscrupulous folks, he was by far the best teacher, loved French and the French people, offered a depth and enthusiasm we all appreciated. These things took place between 1969 and 1975. There was much more.

I cannot fathom how any curricular material can benefit from a publisher's decision to define "Christian" for the world. What could the motives of Apologia be? Would they not want their curriculum to be used by as many as possible so their brand of Christianity is brought to everyone? I ask the same question of BJU and ABeka. What possible good can this do? Cannot the students and their parents come to their own decisions about religion, properly influenced (as seen by these publishers) from exposure to the content of the curriculum itself? How responsible is it to define someone else's belief system, and then make declarations about it? We are LDS and many years ago purchased some very good English materials from ABeka and then had many discussion as to why they would include jabs at our religion as grammar examples! That was the first and last purchase from publisher who might blindside me with invective and attempts to tell me what I believe and how mistaken (or worse) I am. Now, Apologia has gone a step further and decided that they feel comfortable with disenfranchising LDS families while asking them to continue to purchase their materials. Enough is enough. I think it would be good advice for this thread to refrain from positing our own definitions of who gets to be called "Christian," lest we fall into the same trap. Let's respect each others' beliefs and respect the believers in that they know of their own doctrine. Happy Sunday Night

I am the parent of a young adult who has Autism. He is higher functioning, so at the time he was a child, no diagnosis was available. I celebrate this day in honor of and with hope for all of the many young adults with autism who grew up without help or services and who are now struggling to survive in the big world, know themselves, and learn the skills they need to succeed. I will wear blue as a sign of support for my sons' friends, some drug users, some at home playing video games, some homeless, who have this disorder, but did not have resources as children. 20+ years ago, there wew very few, if any, understanding looks or caring hugs for these children or their parents. Schools did not recognize this as anything but behavior problems to be punished. We are a family lucky enough to have been able to homeschool, and count that blessing each day as we work with our son in our family business--working in optometric vision therapy with austistic children. For you young moms enduring "the stare," let it go and help your child. OR carry a brochure with you to give to the particularly judgemental folks. Happy Autism Awareness Day!

That song makes me and my red-headed crew ever so goosey goosey goosey goosey!

Salmon steaks, asparagus, steamed spinach, garlic mashed potatoes. We are also having Squirt mixed with orange juise to drink and "Hare's Haversack Crumble" from the Redwall Cookbook for dessert because these are favorites of our grown children.

We called it "birth."

I have had three sons go to BYU as homeschoolers. One graduated, one transferred to a UC, and the third is in the Ukraine on his mission. BYU did not even want to see a homegrown transcript. They only considered verifiable credits when determining admissions and scholarships. We submitted community college transcripts, EPGY transcripts, CTY transcripts and Great Books Transcripts, as well as letters of recommendation from music teachers, Tae Kwon Do instructors, etc. All three had high ACT scores, 32, 34, and 35 which probably did the trick. They expected homeschooled boys to be Eagle Scouts and to have earned the Duty to God for deacons, teachers, and priests. They also expected completion of seminary. I talked with the homeschool admissions director for each son and received good advice and help. Best wishes in going to BYU!

I had this happen recently and simply emailed the information and was refunded. THe customer service recognized the error and acted accordingly. No big issue. Don't be afraid to state your case concisely.

Our area has docent led nature hikes. You could be the docent! As the poster above mentioned, try your local Sierra Club...

The whole world THINKS, but only America COUNTS. Herein lies the problem. Maths.

I cried a bit with our Christmas Skype from our son in the Ukraine. Did your others serve missions, too? It didn't get easier for me...

We are planning a trip to Scotland in July. Will you be ready by then? For us, the extra bed is a must, as is an internet connection and some form of heat. Local maps and guidance really help, too. Access to a washer and dryer is also a priority.
