Awwww, snap. I was hoping there was a great way to stay connected on posts you were interested in following.

Okay, ladies. I think I may be having a senior moment here. I saw on the thread regarding reading the classics that many of you "subscribe" to it.
I'm guessing when you subscribe any subsequent posts go to your email?
The question I have is: how do you subscribe?
I'm at a loss. It's Monday.:D

Another vote here for leaving. When we were house hunting a couple of years ago I can remember feeling very uncomfortable going though someone's house while they were sitting out on the back patio. I would rather have my realtor contact them to ask any questions I had about the property after our tour was over.

We actually camped there last summer and loved it. We went with no plan whatsoever on what we wanted to do but just enjoyed nature, hiked some of the trails and ate chilli dogs by the campfire.
I'm actually no help here. :D Just wanted to say that no matter what you decide to do while you're there you will have a blast. The views are spectacular... it's one of our all time favorite places to visit.

Do you or would you supplement CLE's LA with IEW? If you removed the writing instruction from both BJU and CLE, which would be the better all around language arts? By "better" I mean more in depth and comprehensive. I think I'm pretty much sold on IEW, I'm just trying to figure out which LA would be the easiest to use and supplement with, as well as providing a firm foundation.

I've been reading through old threads about the lack of writing instruction for BJU English 7 and up. Would it be too much to add in IEW to supplement the writing? Is there a way to use IEW and apply it to the assignment given by BJU? I'm not sure if my questions are making sense but I like the look of BJU English, however I don't think she's ready or able to be given an assignment and "run with it" without any guidance. Does that make sense?
I've also considered CLE 7 but am thinking I would also add IEW to that as well.
If anyone has any experience using both I would love to hear about it.

BTW, your avatar is hilarious. Is that a real photo? SHCOOL :smilielol5:
Yep, it's real. :D

Four to six weeks to completely heal. :grouphug:
Grab a bag of peas and pop over your ankle for swelling, elevate it and take some motrin... 'round the clock for the first week. It will also help with the swelling and discomfort. You can also wrap it in an ace bandage for a bit of support.
More swelling = more pain.. so your primary goal is to get that down first.
Feel better.

She was snooty so I tried to out snoot her.

I don't want to get into a philisophical debate... but seriously, this is awesome.
Out snoot.
It is my new word. :D

Hmmm, I just ran the Red Rock Ascent last night in a pair of vintage nike's. (I only run for the finisher medals. :D) I was thinking I needed a new pair myself. My DH was telling me that Brooks will actually analyze your gait and then recommend a pair of shoes. Have any of you ever done this?

Mine just figured out that I was a trauma nurse. (In my former life.)
Complete with blood and guts.
And, yes.
I touched it and then ate with the same hands afterwards.
Washed, of course.:D

I really think it depends on the maturity of your child. I'm not sure about the laws... maybe they vary from state to state but I would imagine legally she could stay in a hotel at 18.
I actually moved to Kenya for a year when I was 17 as a missionary before I started college. Yes, I was with a small group of adults after I arrived but was given a lot of autonomy too to travel around the country by myself. Granted that was 20 years ago but no one ever asked my age. I think they just assumed I was old enough.
If your child was mature and unafraid of being alone I would totally let her travel by herself. My 8 year old (at the time... she's 11 now) could navigate through the subway system in Seoul all by herself.

Oh, I would love to be able to turn on the heat here. Or at the very least have the windows open. We have a high of 98 today.
Ugh.:glare:
-
Umm, no.
Did I flunk out of class? :D
-
I actually stayed in my pajamas for three weeks, fed the kids whatever was in the freezer and surrounded myself with all of our curriculum and made lessons plans for the entire year in each subject. As we completed each lesson I would highlight it. That way I had a clear view on any given week of how far we had gone and how much more we needed to complete before the end of the "year". It worked well for us!

You do realize that if you choose a small airport, you will also most likely be choosing to fly on a small, commuter type airplane, as those airports are often not equipped to handle the larger commercial jets, right?
As those small planes (even the commuter types) give me the heebee geebies, I will take my large commercial jet and a patdown anyday. :D
For the record, I (and my kids) have been patted down at airports (as well as federal buildings) more than once and I have never, ever found a patdown to be the least been intrusive, invasive or "creepy". Really, it's over in ten seconds and seriously not. a. big. deal.
:iagree:

Praying for rain for you. We never get rain in Las Vegas and it's showered on and off here for the past six days. I hope it works its way over to you...

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:it's got to be SO HARD to be a military wife!!! Isn't there support within the military "family" to help the wives left at home?
There is definitely support.
But I'm the commander's wife so I'm supposed to have it together.:D
On a happier note I have a dear sister in Christ that offered up her house, her washing machine and her pool despite the fact that they're on vacation this week. I have the super secret squirrel password on how to break into their house and am feeling so much better now that I know we won't have to recycle our unmentionables until the repair man can get here next week.
Thanks for the words of encouragement and understanding ladies. I appreciate it more than you know.

I will not repeat what I thought this meant as I skimmed it quickly! :001_huh: :tongue_smilie: :lol:
:lol::lol::lol: Were you thinking what I was thinking? :D

Pity parties are always more fun in a group setting, don't you think?:D
My DH is currently deployed for a very, very, very (very) long time. And in the four months that he has been gone the lightbulb burned out in the skylight and I can't reach it to replace it. The engine on my car blew up and the mechanic said it wasn't worth repairing. The caulking/tile around our bathtub cracked and had to be replaced because the bathtub would move everytime we tried to get in. (Weird. I know.) The garage door broke. Two windows in our home cracked from the incredible heat we had this summer. The sliding glass door to the backyard is stuck and won't open. My grass is dying. And the washing machine just broke.
Again.
I may or may not have cried on the bathroom floor for the second time this month.
That is all.

Then your dh must be aware that the TSA methods are faulty.
Fighter vs. commercial are two different kinds of pilots where these TSA issues are concerned.
We have two Coast Guard helicopter pilots in our family -- they also say that the TSA methods are nothing but show.

I didn't realize with my original reply that I was jumping into such a hot topic but only meant to reassure you that airport security for my family isn't that big of a deal. I think if you try hard enough you can find issue with most things in life and maybe if you want to fly you should just let this one go and enjoy your travels. Since we fly frequently I guess it's just one of those things that we accept, it's no big, and we move on.
FWIW, my DH thinks that US airports aren't doing enough to ensure our safety. There are many other airports all over the world that have much tighter security than ours, which we appreciate considering the political climate in many of the countries we have visited.
If you are that worried about the possibility of being asked to go through extreme security measures at an airport then you might want to consider another form of transportation just so you start your trip out on a happy note. There are some things in life that are big deals, and for us this just isn't one of them.

Would you have an issue with it if it turns out that these methods are all window dressing -- and not substantive?
If these methods are all for show and kids and old ladies are being pat down. . . would that bother you?
Read an earlier response -- in this thread -- from a pilot's wife.
Gosh, we're homeschool parents who question authority. And everyone is just getting scanned and patted down and hopping on the plane because we've been told these methods are necessary?! What if these methods are scams?
I'll be quiet. . . my OP is about finding smaller airports without scanners in the south or east coast. If anyone knows of any, I'd love to hear.
Alley
Maybe we should just agree to disagree?:tongue_smilie:
My husband is a fighter pilot so I simply see this issue through a different filter than most.
Many blessings and prayers for your sweet family for a safe and "assault" free flight.

I voted graham, but I make it with a "loaded" Graham cracker crust: Graham cracker crumbs, ground almonds, a dash of cinnamon, brown sugar and butter. I just use a hint of lemon in the filling, though. Maybe you'd leave out the cinnamon with a more lemony filling?
It's official. I'm starving now. :D
-
I couldn't disagree more. A pat down is offensive. Have you seen the video of what they did to a six year old girl in the south?
Plus there's the issue of it being a slippery slope. Pat downs now, what's next??
If these methods they're using were seriously helping to keep us safe: I'd be all for them. But everyone is saying that they're a sham.
Alley
I did see that particular video, as well as the one of TSA agents patting down an infant. Needless to say I was appalled at both.
I supposed the whole issue is entirely a matter of perspective. The US TSA agents seem relaxed compared to the ones in Hong Kong and Beijing...
I personally don't have an issue with it because I feel that if even one such pat down/x-ray resulted in innocent lives being saved then it would be worth it. Yes, if I think about it, the whole thing is a tad intrusive but it's par for the course if you choose to fly. I would rather be inconvenienced a bit and know that the plane I'm flying on is safe than not have it done.
