As far as I know TT cannot be discounted by any retailer, so I don't think it matters where you buy it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

The Golden Goblet The Trumpet of the Swan

I usually do her reading challenges, but hadn't been thinking about it with school starting. Thanks for posting, I'm going to join...gathering my book list now... :001_smile:

YES! And eat a lot of the batter while I'm at it. :D

I'm trying to use less meat to try to save money. My menu is on my blog http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/LaMereAcademy

We're going all the way, baby!! :D

yep, same here. Usually it's your "first place" on your own or as a married couple.

Ours is about 1,900 sq. feet. Need another bedroom, if not 2. I'd love for everyone to have their own room!

Yes, I try to, but only when I see a post by them that I like. You get a certain amount of rep each 24 hours and I like to give it away and not let it go to waste. I think the more a person participates on these boards in a kind, intelligent manner, then they deserve rep to show they've been here and been a positive member of the community here. Did that make sense? I have a killer headache and feel that I rambled. :lol:

My 14 year old son joined Civil Air Patrol in the spring and he's enjoying it. He's already been able to fly a plane (take controls after the pilot got them up to a certain altitude) It's so like the military and it's hard for me to hear him yell back at his 1st Sargent to answer or do the motivation chants and such...but that's what he wants. His goal is to go to the Air Force Academy after high school. I had no clue they had a Navy League, I think it sounds great.

we used to go camping as teenagers and my now husband, (then not) used to smoke a brisket for 24 hours, then wrap it in tin foil, then throw it in the back of his pickup, we'd drive to Lake Texoma, then later that night throw it on the campfire and we'd all eat it...and the next day too after it sat in the ashes (wrapped in tin foil of course) all night long. I'd say it's fine. It's cooked meat.

I can't vote because adoption would never be an option. As I understand the question, if I thought I was done having children in my marriage but another came along unexpectedly? I'd certainly have my child!

"Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug!" Tommy Boy "Mommy, the rhino's getting too close to the car!" "Oh,he's scared, he's just a little guy!" Tommy Boy "But why is all the rum gone?" from POC "Get your own tots" ND "Do you not realize I have had diarrhea since Easters?" Nacho Libre "Do you remember when everyone was shouting my name, and I used my strength to rip my blouse?" Nacho Libre "Be excellent to each other" Bill and Ted "Taters?!!? What's Taters??" LOTR...you must then say "PO TA TOES, fry 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew" Also we quote from Seinfeld regularly...not a movie though. My 8 year old says "George is getting angry!" all the time now and my 14 year old loves "These pretzels are making me thristy!" I also know a "low talker" :) and describe her as such. I love "Good luck with all that"

Thanks y'all! Michelle, I'm going to check out your link. :001_smile:

We were going to do Omnibus I so I have the books from it and we're at the time of Hammurabi, so I have the Code of Hammurabi book, which just looks like a list of the laws. What kind of assignment could I give my son so we can use this resource? Thanks for any help.

we made the decision together and he supports it. I don't know about enthusiastic...but he does love telling people we do it and wouldn't have it any other way.

No but my dd, almost 13 sweats alot too! She's very clean and wears deoderant but if she's hot at all, she has wet stains on her t-shirts and she gets embarassed too. I should buy the clinical and see if it helps her. I don't remember ever dealing with that as a teen. No advice, but dealing with it here too.

No I totally agree about rape and incest myself. I know good can come from that, but personally if I was raped I don't think I could carry that child and I don't think anyone else should HAVE to. Now, if you're just being foolish and your become pregnant I think it's wrong to have an abortion. But yes, I agree with his exceptions and always have thought that way. *ETA my dh just reminded me that mother's health would be another legitimate reason in our opinion. Of course most mom's I know would risk their health for their babies.

Agree and if I thought we could do it and not get a total nut job at my house in return AND made to look like nut jobs ourselves, then I would love to do it for the money. :tongue_smilie: It's too bad they can't get let it be reality and let the families learn from each other like it's supposed to be. However, I will admit to watching. :)

Monday we saw McCain in Jacksonville, no Palin though (boo-hoo!) It was really cool to hear him in person.

My husband works 2 jobs so I can homeschool the kids. He has always done this when needed. He did have about 5 years where he didn't have to, but for the past 3 he has had two jobs again. It's rough and I hate it but we can't survive unless he does. I do appreciate it very much.

They've changed the system and I haven't gotten any rep since they did. Very sad. I like it when people give out the rep for posts they like or appreciate.

I only saw the clips as well and was very disappointed in Walters. Besides the Rep. on the show (forgot her name) I expected the others to not be respectful, but I did expect she would be neutral at least. Really, it just seems to me that Obama is getting the star treatment in Hollywood and I'm so wondering WHY??

My thoughts exactly. If you're not interested then I'd give him a card with a gift card to a general place like Target or Walmart.

Bible/Devotional and then Poetry We're all together in the living room, I do most of the reading and it's all done aloud.
