    Oh poor thing. Does he have that swine flu?? I heard that they are able to treat it with medications so that is good news. I will certainly pray for him. :)

    LOOOL I've heard that one before too! Apparently Hymen was Heimlich's brother and his maneuver was just slightly different. ;) :D

    No way!!! I HAVE to tell my mom that!! She'll probably stop being mad at her dad. Maybe he really did believe they were chicken snakes?? And all this time we thought it was one of his practical jokes. Ah man, the irony! :) Thank you so much for sharing that with me. :)

    OOOH you sweet thing!! That is just too cute. Don't feel bad though, my mom was in her 30's on her second marriage when she found out that there was no such thing as "chicken snakes". hehe My grandfather, who was a practical joker, told my mother when they were on a road trip when she was young, "do you hear that?? Those are chicken snakes." They were actually tree frogs but he never told her what they really were. She went her whole life believing that the sound tree frogs make are some creature called chicken snakes. Fast forward 30 years... My grandfather has passed away and we are all out camping in the woods and my mom hears tree frogs and says to my step father, "oh Bill, do you hear the chicken snakes?" His answer... "What in the **** are chicken snakes??" My mom just looked up to the sky and said, "darn it, dad!" hehehehe:lol:

    LOL I love it. I can just imagine like a news reporter asking an American, "You always say that your country is the greatest in the world. What do you base that on?" Answer: "graphite pencils!" hehehehe Sorry, I have a strange sense of humor and a waaaay too vivid imagination. :) I should be Canadian! ;) :) :D

    My daughter is starting NEW for 7th grade next year as well. I have perused the texts already and I think it pretty much picks up where the Primary courses left off. When I switched my daughter from Saxon to Singapore, I had to start her at one grade lower than her actual grade. Singapore is pretty advanced, but that's a good thing IMO. :) Best of luck to you. :)

    Cool! Thanks. :) My daughter used to love Liberty's kids. It's a shame they don't show it anymore. :(

    What are it's water requirements?? How deep do you plant it?? Do you plant just a clove or an entire head?? Will it grow in high heat and humidity?? Thanks for your time. :) I'm guessing China must not have many vampires either. ;) :) hehe

    Sam Ash and Musician's Friend have violins. I bought my daughter's violin at Sam Ash. It's really nice. They have free shipping and you can return it and get your money back if you don't like it. :) http://www.samash.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/search_-1_10052_10002_UTF-8___t%3A3%2F%2F%3Assl%2F%2Fsa+bundle+taxonomy%2F%2F%3ABand+%26+Orchestra%3AString+Instruments%3AViolins__DollarsSold%2F%2F0_-1_20__________0_-1__DrillDown___182427_ http://band-orchestra.musiciansfriend.com/stringed-instruments/violins

    I do choose ones that look firm and the paper is dry, but it is alway yucky and old on the inside. :( If it's coming from China though, then you're probably right that I'll never find it fresh in the grocery. Do you know how to grow garlic?? Does it grow in heat (zone10)? thanks .:)
  19. Ibbygirl
    :) hehehe I was born on Labor Day. No joke. :) My mom wasn't too pleased about the irony though. ;) hehe

    It happens every time.... I go to the store thinking, this time I won't fail to choose perfectly fresh garlic. I smell it.. hmmm, don't really smell anything. I squeeze it.... seems firm, must be fresh. I take it home, it's all old on the inside. How in the world do you choose fresh garlic??? :confused: Help! :willy_nilly:

    LOL :) No. Ibby is a nickname for Ibanez guitars which are actually Japanese. hehe I've had a lifelong love of these guitars and I own 5 of them currently. I used to have a 6th one, but I donated it to the music ministry at church. My avatar in my profile is actually a picture of the headstock of a sweet Ibanez Jazz box. Man, I'd love to get my hands on that one some day. :drool5: But Ibanez got it's start making Spanish style classical guitars in Japan so you aren't that far off. :)

    :) hehehehe French people always think I'm French and Greek people always think I'm Greek, but nobody ever guesses me to be Spanish which I am. It's funny to me because I think I look very Spanish and yet everyone always thinks I'm something else. :confused:
  23. Ibbygirl
    Regardless, I sure walked right into that one didn't I? hehe Won't be the last time either. I think I'm actually starting to acquire a taste for my foot. ;) :) Peace. :)
  24. Ibbygirl
    well.....ummmm.... Yeah... I have absolutely no idea what to say to that.... :ohmy::blushing: hehe At least I said it in the right thread though. ;) :D

    hehehehe I wish I could hear you actually saying this with your Scottish accent rather than reading it. I swear I don't know what it is about the Scots but ya'll just crack me up. Craig Ferguson could go on his show and read the phone book and I'd be laughing. One of the best accents in the world IMHO.
