  1. Latin is awesome. I went to public school for high school and took it there. I think it helps with understanding English grammar, too. It's a great exercise for the brain. English and many other languages have latin roots (even though English is considered Germanic).
  2. I hated piano (and still do) because my mother Made me practice. Music should be a result of passion. I joined because I wanted to, but I quit because there is no in something forced. I still have great passion for music. Just not piano.
  3. Yes. My cat Mikey howled for most of the day for Months and Months after my dog died. They were best friends. Mikey wanted little to do with humans before the dog died. He got his social needs met by the dog. He finally attached to our family after the dog died and he needed love from us. He turned out to be the best cat I ever had after that and I still have his ashes all these years after he died. I don't have any of my other pets' ashes. He was just so special in those later years. Animals have emotions, too, and can become very needy after a great loss.
  4. It isn't okay. You need to see a doctor. This is one of those times when you pay because you need to.
  5. I'm going online at a community college and it's relatively cheap. 30 dollars a unit here. You are looking up private colleges and private colleges are expensive.
  6. Not necessarily. If you stop the thought you did the right thing... If you actually carry it out well... you took it even further than you needed to. It still falls under the category of cheating, but I wouldn't say it is the same thing. Definitely not good either way. And the spouse would be rightfully hurt either way.
  7. Job 31:1 "I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin?" That tells me it isn't okay to even look. No emotional affairs, no kissing, and certainly nothing beyond that. Don't even look.
  8. No, but my own son had a depressed skull fracture that disappeared in a matter of minutes. Confused the ct scan team big time and his ped. I'm still in shock when talking about it. And I don't tell many people because I don't think they'll believe me. But it's all documented in his medical file. eta: He was having the ct scan because they needed to evaluate for surgery to fix it.
  9. Actually, I just did. It was for 950. I put it in savings.
  10. Handwritting... that's something you need to be careful with. You cannot expect him to write like a right handed person. Here is a decent site on that and other left handed issues. http://handedness.org/action/leftwrite.html I use hooked writing because no one taught me anything better and that's usually how lefties learn to cope writing from left to right. I have to say I loved learning Hebrew because you write from right to left. :)
  11. LOL! I do that! I have to look at something as a whole from every direction before I make a decision or form an opinion. Once I do, every possibility has been thoroughly dissected. It's funny that that frustrates you, because people who don't do that and jump to conclusions without thinking first frustrate me.
  12. It depends. Most do I think. I'm left handed and I certainly do. People are left handed for various reasons. Some people right brained. Some people's brains are actually mirror images of normal. If the side of his brain that is dominant is the opposite of most people's then, yeah, he probably will learn differently. Just watch your son and learn what is best for him. There are some really awesome websites if you google. Don't have any expectations either way. Just do what works. Oh, and don't get frustrated. My mom always did. In the end, I am far more efficient doing things my way than being forced to act like a right hander.
  13. But it's not your daughter's fault that the family didn't leave on time. What could she have done?
  14. As I understood it, when you read something it goes through your auditory processing area, which is why it often not a good way for visual people to learn. Reading doesn't do much for me. I truly need to *see* it, not words written about it.
  15. My mother has it. She went to the doctor because she said she felt a sore in her mouth that made it hard to swallow. I hope you don't have it. It's hard to deal with.
