  1. We are using these this year too. The math is explained very well. She puts things in the multiplication lesson like to multiply 11 by double digits you spread the other number apart, then add those two digits together and then put the answer in between the two digits you spread apart and that's your answer. That's probably in other math programs and i just never noticed it before, idk? Anyways, it's just seems to make math very easy to understand.

  2. My husband told me about one of his friends who caught his wife having an affair with her boss and he told me not to tell anyone.

    I didn't tell...except for my mom. I thought that would be okay because she didn't know any of the people involved. Well, my mom's sister happened to be with her that day while I talking and the boss turned out to be her new boyfriend! She didn't know anything about it and she was not happy!

    And that's what happens when you gossip.

  4. Glad you're feeling better.

     

    If you haven't already watched it, try Broadchurch. It's one of those really good shows that sucks you in and you just have to watch another and another. It's definitely bingeworthy.

  5. We just finished Watership Down. My kids thought it was different reading about fighting bunny rabbits, but it was good. We watched the cartoon on Amazon when we were done (they had heard it described as a horror movie).

     

    We are reading Pollyanna now. The kids begged me not to, but I can tell they are getting into it; They keep getting so mad at Aunt Polly!

     

    Mine are 16, 14, and 11. I take milk and snacks into my boys room in the morning before they get out of bed and my 16yo girl joins us there. We have our readings before anything else.

  6. Just curious what everyone does if a migraine hits after you have had a drink? I have been having a glass of port sometimes in the evening, but have been wondering lately about what to do if I was to get a migraine not long after. I suppose I wouldn't be able to take the Tylenol I usually take with coke...

    I usually only have a migraine every few months, so it hasn't been a problem yet. I just like to worry ahead!

  7. I'm subscribing for the ideas! I went through a stage where I streamed all the episodes of Young Dracula (BBC) and that was really fun. Wasn't particularly girl flick, but maybe it was? I mean, those women vampires are pretty powerful, lol. And if I can get the remote away from ds I want to catch up on episodes of Speechless.

    My hubby and me just finished binge watching this! It was good and I loved Count Dracula. My husband thought Vlad was annoying when he got older and I was a little disappointed when they tried to get more serious a few seasons in, but nice show overall. Oh and poor Ingrid!

  8. So here's a question - if I said "my sister slept in a crib until she was 5yo," does that imply she moved out of the crib on her 5th birthday, or sometime before her 6th birthday?

     

    Or, "she wet the bed until she was 7yo."

     

    Or, "it can snow until May or even June in these parts."

     

    To me these general cutoffs do not imply the 1st day of the stated time period.

     

    And if it is a matter of official importance, I can't think of ever seeing a time range stated without actual dates. "This office is closed from June 5 through August 20." "This court will recess until Monday morning at 9am." "I will be on vacation from December 23 through January 3."

    How about, "My husband was faithful to me until the day he died."

  9. It's very homeschool friendly.  There are quite a few co-ops that do activites, but there are activities that aren't associated with them, too.  There is a Tri-Cities Christian Yahoo Group called TChomeschool and on Facebook there is the Bristol/Abingdon Homeschool Group (US).  You could find out more infomation through them.

     

    There's a Catholic Church in each city, but I don't know of any organized Catholic homeschool groups.  

     

    I know there are usually a couple of Homeschool Proms every year, so there are definitely some teenagers.

  10. My husband will constantly call my name in a pitiful, sickly voice from his bed and ask me to take his temperature. He definitely takes his medicine though. I think that's one of his favorite parts of being sick.

     

    I mostly just watch his appetite. If he's eating normal I don't usually worry.

  11.  

    I have said some crazy stuff over the years. Once I woke up to my now Xh standing by the door of the bedroom with the light on saying,'where Scarlett? I dont see a snake', apparently I was convinced a big snake was on the window sill by our bed. That was the beginning of my snake dreams. That particular night I was dreaming that a huge Python style snake was wrapped around the inside window sill.

    My mom (who's a little superstitious) always told me that if you dream of a snake it means you have an enemy. If you kill the snake in the dream then you will defeat the enemy.
