Wow, am I glad we missed out on that!

Accelerating or skipping a level of Teaching Textbooks?

How bad does a mammogram hurt? First one next week... :-/
JBJones replied to Dianne-TX's topic in The Chat Board
Just pretty uncomfortable (but not painful, I didn't think) for about 4-5 seconds two different times on each breast. But it's such an important test. You'll do fine; just think of your children. From the time I get out of my vehicle, walk in the building, and am walking back out, it's max 15-20 minutes. -
Trying to work up courage for first mammogram
JBJones replied to lovinmyboys's topic in The Chat Board
They are just a little uncomfortable, but a very important test. I agree with AK_Mom4 about getting your baseline. So very important. When I go to have mine, I'm in and out in under 20 minutes max. I wanted to add. Just think of your children. Do it for them. You'll do fine; you've got this! (Mine is already scheduled for the first week of April. I think it's the fifth or sixth time I've had it done) -
Where Is your 5th-8th graders curriculum kept?
JBJones replied to Gil's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
We converted one of our bedrooms into a school/computer room. It helps me to keep track of everything. Before we just had materials strewn everywhere and it drove me crazy. -
Having our dog put down tomorrow UPDATED-post 45
JBJones replied to Just Kate's topic in The Chat Board
I'm sorry you're going through that. Losing a pet is devastating; being sad is to be expected. They give so much to our lives. I'm hoping our rescue dog (13 y/o the first week of April and a full-blown diabetic, blind) passes on in her sleep. She's such a sweetie. She will be cremated so I can always keep her close. -
smart, yet unmotivated teen
JBJones replied to leeannpal's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I also wondered about her being depressed, especially if she endured bullying. Or perhaps suffering from anxiety and/or insomnia? -
Long Island Ice Tea is really good. That "liquor is quicker" saying is spot on. We used to go out for dinner and have those or if we were at Chi Chis it was always strawberry margaritas. Staying home, whiskey and water is very easy.

Last night the temperature was -17 below, with a WC of -34 below. I could hardly get my blind diabetic dog down her snow covered ramp. It could be a long winter here (Midwest). I feel your pain.

Stressed child in classroom
JBJones replied to bethben's topic in Parents' Forum Afterschooling Board
I would remove her immediately; she sounds extremely stressed out. You stated she's on the edge of furious. I'm sorry, it's just that your post brings back rotten memories of when I removed my daughter. Good luck to your child. -

Never. We have neighbors from hell and only use the back door. But we can easily see if there is a notice on the front door.
