ewww...
homeschoolmomtutu replied to homeschoolmomtutu's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I did too.... and I am also. The title of the news article did not do the actions/video justice. I can't wrap my mind around the adults involved (parents, educators, etc...)justifying the event on any level of normalcy :001_huh:...stomach wrenching really, and probably illegal in many states :tongue_smilie: -

Words you can't say
homeschoolmomtutu replied to Remudamom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I have one I CAN say, but always (mentally) second guess myself on ...camembert. Relatively innocuous word, right? Yet I end up with the same mental discussion....bear, bay, burr....not bert...right?? ha! It's a mental loop...who's on first?...and though I DO know the answer, sadly can't get away from the question :glare: ...I'll just call it brie ;) -
I haven't read the thread, save the first page of comments...but.... since a very young age we have taken the kids to museums (modern, science, fine arts, etc...) and nude statues/paintings have always been a non issue for us. We even have a beautiful Degas charcoal nude art print hanging in our home....the closest "uncomfortable" issue I had run into was an audio guide to a Picasso exhibit when the boys were tweens...got tad graphic. yet I was a bit shocked when our the Fine Arts museum sent us a card/invitation, to a Helmut Newton exhibit, that was a photographed nude woman with all her lady parts displayed ...it is just different in a photo..it is for me at least...and very different when my young teen boys get the mail! So, I think I am pretty liberal with painted art and statues...but I guess not with photography! ...and not when it comes unsolicited to my kitchen counter.

Space Shuttle Launch
homeschoolmomtutu replied to Mom2boys's topic in General Education Discussion Board
When we went to see STS-124 we bought tix at NASA online for the causeway. If I remember correctly, it is the closest the public can be for viewing...and it was really great. You park at Kennedy and they shuttle you over.... Update... read the other posts and checked, yes it is sold out....but I do remember that many people who stayed at our hotel (Hilton Cocoa Beach) watched the launch from the beach areas. -
Tell me more about Phonics Road?
homeschoolmomtutu replied to Lovedtodeath's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
It is year one...I purchased it from Adoremus books by mistake...I thought it was Latin Road Level one *argh!*...it was a very expensive blonde-moment mistake! I didn't even notice for 2 months because I bought it before our summer break and when I started cracking out the new year's curriculum and checking it out, I realized what I had done:scared: but because it had been 2 months and they would not take it back =( I have level one complete set plus one extra student package, none was used...my kids are much older! -
Tell me more about Phonics Road?
homeschoolmomtutu replied to Lovedtodeath's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board

...I can't believe my sister pays $30,000 a year in lower school tuition for two kids (it's a good school, but oh my!) and that tuition is raised slightly each year :tongue_smilie: For me? I can't believe how pricey the "healthier" foods are...but I am willing to pay. I can't believe how expensive my electric bill is in summer...wowzer! I can't believe someone is willing to spend $1800 for a 1yr package (equals 3 full sets) of Lash (yes eyelash) extensions! I can't believe I even know that fact, but a boutique/spa that caters exclusively to lash extensions opened up a few years ago nearby. When the economy hit bottom, I thought---wow, that place will be the first to go under! ...and yet here it is still thriving! :confused:

Homemade Yogurt
homeschoolmomtutu replied to cdrumm4448's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I would say yes it is more tart (I think that equals yummier too =0)*)...it is always very creamy! We use one 1/2 gallon carton of organic whole milk and about one cup of organic 1/2 and 1/2 in each batch.... no sweeteners or gelatins etc... while batching. Then when it's ready it can be eaten any way you like...plain, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon, add fruit, nuts...and even for making "ice cream"....we also use it the other way as a topping for anything that would call for sour cream or to make veggie dips...love it!
