Red Dawn was as silly, but I liked it better. 🙂 (There were a bunch of "oh noes the worldz gonna end" movies and such. And then the Wall came down.

We got a higher refund with a lower income but fewer kids in college. It's so weird. I have this nagging feeling that some day a few years from now the IRS will come knocking on my door because we didn't enter something right and we'll owe them $7 squillion in back taxes and penalties. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Angi, make a grocery list! Happy Friday! It's rainy and gloomy here and that kind of matches my mood. Still feeling somewhat cranky. I did find a new activity to do for class since I couldn't get potato starch in time. I'm woefully unprepared for D&D this afternoon but I can pretty much wing it there. Tomorrow's science day is something I've done a bunch of times before so I can do that even if I'm feeling sluggish and cranky. It will just be a long day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Good morning! Angi, don't forget to do the thing! Today is our Big City Family Adventure. We'll start out at the library to check out their exhibits, then walk to the Art Museum (new VanGogh and Friends exhibit and we'll spend some time in the art lab), have lunch, maybe toodle over to the city's first indoor shopping mall, or if the weather behaves, we can walk down to the riverfront park. The Cathedral is having their annual Bach festival that starts at 4, so we'll go listen to that for a bit and then head back home for dinner. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I am so unhappy. We just had our third? chem lab in a row fail. Since it involved gas in sealed ampules, there is nothing I can do to check to see if they even put the gas in there or if we got empty ampules or if the gas all leaked out somehow since we bought the kit, or what. I really really like the Spectrum chemistry books and even the labs when they work but I am getting super frustrated. And since all the labs are now failing 7 months after we bought a kit designed to last 9 months, I really wonder if the problem isn't the age of the materials. But somehow they should have allowed for that? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have limitations (no wet messy stuff) that I don't usually have with my classes and workshops. One more week (plus two days for snow makeup) to my Winter session, a few days off (but not really) and then my Spring sessions starts.

Susan in TN Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 We are back from the Big City Adventure. The art exhibit was very nice and we had fun in the art lab. I did a colored pencil still life of flowers in a vase and made a stop motion picture thing. We had lunch at Oscar's Taco Shop - it took a good half hour to get our order. They have no seating so we sat on a short cement wall in front of a church to eat. Then we walked to the river, though the terraced part was coned off due to high water. We watched a groundhog named Charles for a little while. Then we walked back to the library and spent a little while toodling around there and got some coffee and then walked to the church for the Bach performances. Dinner was baked potatoes with toppings. After ds14 packs for his backpacking trip, we'll play a couple games and have ice cream. That's all the news from Lake Woebegone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
