My ds is 13 today! Power went off while cake in the oven!!! The road is blocked off down the street, so something going on. It's been about a half hour now. We had doubled the recipe- 6 eggs, 3 cups sugar... I think it will be dumped and we need to start over, if we get electricity back!!!

This is a timely topic for me. My son, with ASD level1, was just granted an IEP to enter public school this fall. My husband and I have been discussing whether we should ask for honors math and science, since that is what he excels in. I am going to the high school tomorrow, so I will find out how they do it.

It really depends what town you will live in. Some towns want nothing, whereas others you need to choose between yearly school meetings with portfolios or year end testing. We choose year end testing with a homeschool group. In my town, we have to fill out an intent form every summer that lists curriculum we plan to use for each subject.

My dh and I are in our late 40's and considering adding on and renovating. We've been in discussions about it for years. I'm not getting anywhere. His income has steadily gone up over the years and we could definitely get a mortgage, but my dh doesn't want a 30 year mortgage at this point in his life. To one extent I get it, but we live in a high cost of living and the house will hold its value. In the meantime, our 1200 sq ft house is deteriorating since we can't come to any decision, so we do nothing. Just frustrating.

I hope the dad gets more professional recognition after this. He deserves it! A great embarrassing moment for the whole world to see! Definitely one of the funniest things I've seen. I hope the parents are able to get to a fun place with it. It may takes years for that feeling to come. I would be mortified forever.

I think Warren Beatty could have saved it, but was quite the dunce for handing the envelope to Faye Dunaway. I realize it wasn't his fault, but he saw there was a mistake and said nothing. It made him appear quite feeble.

As a family we have been watching The Flash.

I live in a busy suburb and I go walking or running alone quite a bit. I think I would naturally be more cautious in a more rural setting.

We went and stayed there a few years ago. We were able to get points from an acquaintance at a really good price for a one bedroom villa savannah view. My kids were 12, 10 and 8. We loved it! We wanted to go back, but lost our acquaintance. We rented a car and had no problem getting places. The kids loved the animals and the pool. It was our third visit. We also stayed at the Polynesian and Saratoga Springs. My kids want Animal Kingdom again.

Miracles From Heaven, a girl told my daughter about it at church. Not our usual genre for our family. Little too much for me.

There may be more homeschooling groups in other parts of the state, but not too much in the greater Boston metro area. I've been homeschooling here for about 8 years. I've connected with a few of them from time to time.

Also not a popular homeschooling state. A few larger Christian groups and one large unschooling group is about all I know about.

Better if the job is outside the city. My husband has been commuting into Boston for 2 years and it takes him just under an hour with public transportation. There really isn't a great system in Boston. Traffic can be awful depending on what direction your commute is. We have thought about moving further out for a bigger house but his commute time would add another 1/2 or more. He really doesn't want more than an hour. Any towns with commuter train is much more expensive.

I understand your hurt. Do you think your mother prefers boys to girls. That is what I get from what you said. Did she have a good relationship with her own mother? I would guess not. It sounds like you were her competition in some way.
In my family, my brothers could do no wrong. My mother had much higher expectations for her daughters. She over supported the boys in the family and still does. It drives me crazy, but I can't fix crazy.
I don't think it's worth saying anything. Does she want it back? If not, I would hold a ceremony and burn her chapters and release your feeling about it. Let it die. If she asks you, I would say how nice that she is writing her memoirs. That's it.

Very interesting. Thanks for this topic. My ds in a couple years away from this, but it has been on my mind about what the process will look like.

I hated it! I've been avoiding going back. For me, worse than dentist or pap. I guess I'm just highly sensitive there.

You and your daughter need to discuss it. Not sure where to go from here.

It seems you may have opened the door of possibilities when he can go to her dance, but she can't go to his. It's either no dating or there is. You seem to be giving the impression that you want it both ways. It isn't clear cut. I wouldn't be offended by your friend at all.

Thank you! Our latest box is from China! I'll check the others out.

We have been using Dixon Ticonderoga pencils for years. Typically, we think they are great, but the last couple of batches of HB 2 soft have been terrible! They are brittle and break easily! My son said if he looks at it before sharpening, he can tell if it will break or not. As though, how they put it together is off all the sudden and causing them to break. Anyone else experiencing this as well, or have a great alternative pencil to look for?

Thanks for your ideas, it's been almost 45 minutes and we did not open oven. It has kept baking! It may take another 20 minutes to be complete. Not sure there will be enough heat for that? Still no electricity!
