lanalouwho Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Thanks for trying, y'all. How do i dye an ear?Buy the easy dye packets from the craft store. Boil some water, add salt and dye. Dip the ear in and let it sit for about 10-15 mins. Watch to make sure it's not soaking too far into the parts you don't want dyed. Lay it somewhere and let the dye set for a good half hour to 45 mins. Very carefully rinse the ear really well to get all excess dye out without getting it on the rest of the pup. Throw the whole thing in the washing machine. And done. Sent from my HTCD200LVW using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I'm having lunch at home first because the tire was punctured in multiple places from numerous screws. How did that happen? Did someone strew screws across the road? So anyway, it looks like I'm going to have to actually buy a new tire(s) instead of just repairing it.

Renai Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 This morning I went to an integrate-science-and-art workshop, picked up Dancer and a friend, and took them to afternoon band practice. I've been sitting in the next room over listening to their noise while I prepare Spanish I stuff for the online class.

Critterfixer Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 GUG. Had a whole post and lost it. I worked, I libraried. It's amazing the things you come home with and the books that go on your library card when you are writing a fantasy story. Just saying. Warning: Educational post for our writers. This week, dd chose, instead of working in her comp and rhetoric book, to write a compare/contrast of Rose Red and Snow White, and of the two stories. Any hints on what I should look for, or anywhere I could go to see how to grade this? Thanks! I thought Rose Red and Snow White was a single story about two girls living in the woods with their mother, a nasty tempered dwarf, and a prince in bear's clothing. I'm not sure what that would be compared to. What other story is she wanting to compare/contrast it with? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I, rather unwisely, just spent 9 hours working on our landscaping. We trimmed the back landscaping, raked up the trimmings & bagged them, pulled weeds, laid 40 bags of mulch, and fertilized our shrubbery. We hauled the bags of trimmings to the dump. We still need to spray and lay as many bags of mulch again, but....progress! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 We are back from the university, and I am pooped. But I still have to take the girls to the dollar store and stop by the grocery for birthday ice cream. A note on the University of Tennessee Chattanooga: it was built on both sides of a steep hill. So if your child is looking for a reasonably priced university where they can also get a good cardio workout just getting to and from classes, then UTC would be a school to consider. :D 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Sis is waiting on a ct scan to rule out gall bladder. (The ultrasounds have been clear, but that doesn't mean anything.) I kinda hope it's gall bladder vs the other options that it could be. Gall bladder is easy compared to stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, cirrhosis, or gastroparesis. (She's been googling.

Mine never showed up in ultrasounds. I had a couple during pregnancy and after. Nothing showed up until I got a stone lodged in a duct in my pancreas. Ended up with the highest numbers the doctor had ever seen!! I went in Monday and had meds for 3 days before they could even do surgery. It was miserable. I think I finally got to go home Friday. Riv was only 9 months. Forced separation was not fun. :( I almost hope it's the gall bladder. That would be an easier fix than everything else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 She was actually thinking snow white to rose red. But snow white to snow white might be better! What do you think? I'd be bored with either, to tell you the truth. I'm not much on fairy tale female protagonists. They are all pretty one-dimensional to me. The two girls (Snow White and Rose Red) don't really seem all that different to me, although they look different and are supposed to have different interests. That's probably not great help. I'm just having trouble seeing much of a difference. They are both good girls that love their mother and try to do good and get a handsome prince at the end. I always loved how the prince conveniently has a second available marriage option for the sister. :laugh: Might be interesting to comment on how the prince marries the quieter girl who stays at home and does housework and marries off Rose-Red, the more exuberant and outspoken one to a brother, rather than the other way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Thanks! Maybe I'll tell her to nix her idea! I think she might find the project a little dull and frustrating. In general, most fairy tales don't do a great job of characterization. The exception to that rule might be Hans Christian Anderson. I like fairy tales for plot, though. If she wanted to do something interesting, she might want to compare the plot of Snow White and Rose Red to the plot of another story with brother protagonists (LIke The Gold Children) and see how the plots compare for girl protagonists vs boy protagonists. What are the tests that the girls have to pass to prove they are true, good and generous? What about the boys? What tasks do they have to do to prove they are true, good and generous, or is heroic or strong something that they have to prove? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
