I'm guessing she meant thick long dark hair.

I will share that info with DD. She came in her awhile ago and said "Mom, can I see t hat guitar again?". LOL That acoustic is beautiful, I LOVE the back! I am with you too on having more guy friends than female friends. I think for me it has more to do with the catty nature of women. I still have a few friends that are guys, but we don't hang out without DH. It's a respect thing. However, I had to give up most of my friends for my marriage. It was worth it. I find it really hard to make female friends. I am just so different (insert tomboy here again, then add laid back) that most women aren't like me. However, when I have been around someone for awhile, no matter our differences we can usually get along. At work the gals call me "country" because I am SO different than them, but they are so kind and I could o see myself hanging out with them. That is because we embrace each other's differences.

From what I understood, FD should be done prior to AoA

My friends told me their ped. is a HS dad. I am moving my children to his practice.

:iagree:

I am still deciding between TOG and WP for my 11 yo, but I am leaning towards WP. I also am leaning heavily towards it for my pre-schooler (will be 4 when we begin). Has anyone used this?

My post about me was in response to ALL the posts saying that they were inappropriate/trashy for ANY age. I feel some tshirts are trashy looking but don't think all are. I feel it was a statement that passes judgement on everyone who shows their shoulders. I am modest, but not overly so. My DD is 11, and I'd have to take each piece of clothing into considerations after seeing it on her. I would not say yes or no until then. So it's trashy to wear strapless? That is a judgmental blanket statement. Like I said, I have to look at each shirt on my DD to decide. I will not allow my child to go anywhere looking "sexy". However, I believe that some will objectify our children no matter how covered up they are or how much is showing. Sick is sick.

I do that too. They are the only ones in mixed nuts I like. Actually, I LOVE acoustic guitars but I showed yours to my DD and she was almost in tears begging me to take her and get one *just like yours* 1) How do you keep others from eating your sticks? I have to hide food to keep them out! 2) I was beginning to think I was the only person who ever had a chocolate cherry coke (sometimes DP) at Sonic! People look at me like I have lost it, but I LOVE them! *thinking I'll head there now* 3) Blankets on the floor enrage me...it's really sad something so little makes me lose it I want to know what you believe. :D I love to drive too and hate others driving. I am constantly hitting the brakes or something on my side of the vehicle, which of course does not help. I agree with you...and I'm a Tomboy

I am only on page one of the replies, but I am one of *those* people you are talking about. I accidently stumbled upon these boards when looking for a forum to research curriculum on. These boards are so much more active than any other HS boards I have seen, that I decided to stick around. It is through these boards I learned about TWTM. I have learned more since I have been here about HS than in my months of research prior. There is just a lot of information here. I had seen an old version of TWTM at the library and it was so old and worn I left it there, had no idea it was a type of HS, just thought it was one of the endless books on our failing education system. Now I am awaiting my copy of TWTM that I ordered, and when it is read, I will weigh in on the approach we will take. At this point, I am guessing our approach will be eclectic.

I must confess though, I have a sundress I love and it is cooler than anything i have ever worn. However, still probably would pass many of the standards here as it is sleeveless. I just got it last month and I wear it at least once a week. Last week when it was a muggy 96, I felt so comfy in it. It goes to right below my knees.

I have a different tune assigned to all of my family/friends. That way, I know who it is by the song. If it is a generic song, I know it can be ignored. I WILL NOT answer: Blocked Calls Annon. Calls Unknown Numbers Out of area 800, 866, 888, etc.

:thumbup1::iagree:

I surely am a lot cooler wearing shorts and a strapless shirt. More air hitting your skin=cooler. To those of you who say it isn't, have you ever tried it?

I'd rather go to the gyno than the dentist, and I HATE the gyno!

These are the one's I wear...I have a black one and one with blue flowers. They are so comfy and rest on my chest so I show no cleavage. That is hard because even v-necks tend to show my cleavage. I hate stuff around my neck, can't wear it. Maybe it is the way I was raised too. Tube tops, spaghetti straps, all that was just what we wore. Maybe that is why I can't handle anything near my neck.

Oh my, I think we'd fit in together JUST FINE! LOL

Precisely the reason I sold out bunks and refuse to ever have more Did I mention my stash is USUALLY chocolate? LOL

Me too, except I put my iPod buds in my ears not earplugs...and if I washed my hair more often than once or twice a week, it would look awful It is so dry.

Actually, I just feel in the middle. I am way conservative according to my secular friends, but my ultra conservative friends are floored by some things I say or do. I can't win. LOL You wanna hang out? Sounds like we'd do just fine together.

Oh my...I didn't realize I was such a harlet. I wear strapless shirts because I like the way they feel. Nothing to do with showing skin, as all it shows is my shoulders. I would not wear them to church or work, but out to run errands or around the house, yes. I have no cleavage in them. DH doesn't think it is inappropriate for me to wear them. On DD it would be like everything else: what it covered and didn't, where she would be when she wore it, and who may be exposed to it. Around the house, no problem. Anywhere else, it would depend on a lot of other factors. Of course, we do let DD wear tanks too.

Okay, a couple more: I am obsessed with Channing Tatum My sex drive is about 10x that of my DH and I wish it would CHILL OUT! I don't like other people's kids unless they are well behaved. Then I LOVE them! My son is a spoiled brat (3yo) and if he was someone else's I would be mortified that someone allows their child to behave like he does. I hate to do laundry, but get furious when anyone else does it. I ams o picky about how it is done. I was not raised with my Mom, but do laundry the EXACT same way she does I assign my kids the housework I really loathe I never do dishes, see the previous comment.

My Mom chose her new husband over my brother and I, and we went to whoever wanted us, including in and out of children's homes and foster care. I was a HORRID teenager, but at some point I decided I would be everything she wasn't. People compliment me on my mothering skills. My best friend went through the same thing you did. Have you hear the Kellie Pickler song "I Wonder"? I am sure you are a great Mom and nothing is wrong with you. Your Mom is screwed up, it is not your fault.

Sounds like you had Pica, and may have it this time too

I stash food so my DH and kids can't eat it Sometimes they find my stash and it makes me mad I HATE to get dressed and will stay in PJ's 24/7 if I could I cannot stand "drop in" company, please wait for an invitation I used to be a social butterfly, now, I prefer online friends I don't like to get phone calls, please text or email I am a Christian and used to think homosexuality was a sin. Now, I believe that Christians drive homosexuals away by being judgmental. I believe a lot of homosexuals were born with a different gender brain than their body, and I believe God knows this. Even if that is not the case, it is not our job to pass judgement and criticize them. We are supposed to love them as Christ loved them. I would love to adopt at least 2 more children, maybe even more I want a maltese very badly I don't know where I *fit* in the homeschool community. I always thought I was a conservative, but realize now that I am middle of the road compared to a lot of conservative HS. I feel like I fit better with secular HS because I know I won't be judged for not being conservative enough. It bothers me that I feel judged by other Christians I LOVE to cuddle with my DH. However, my kids touch me so much I go on touch overload and don't want them touching me. I HATE where we live and cannot wait to move I buy things and hide them from DH, then bring them out later and when he asks where it came from I tell him I had it for "awhile" and it is not a lie I have a severe internet addiction I hate housework with a passion, but feel it is the best way to "bless" my family, so I do it with a smile Each member of my household has enough clothing to wear for almost a month without washing clothes I am going through getting rid of clothes to where everyone (including me) has only 10 days worth of clothing
