Schadenfreude Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I think I could spend $10,000 on children's books and still want more. If not for the library I think I would have driven us homeless by now. We're actually on our way to the library now. :DI have just realized you are in a very different time zone than me. It is 10 here so this post took me a moment to figure out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 In the children's picture books I will keep How Fletcher was Hatched, McBroom's Ghost, One Monster After Another, and Verdi. I have a few others, but those are my favorites. ETA: It's a never surrender your picture books, Booyah! Brambly Hedge. Especially if you can get the larger format books, so you can see all of the detail in the pictures and borders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I have had the same copy of Bunny and Me and Guess How Much I Love You since my twenty year old was born. They are tattered but very much loved. Every time we whittle down our book collection all three children insist they stay. Any book by Sandra Boynton! Especially Philadelphia Chickens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 We have an accidental international money collection in an old animal cracker jar. Many of the bills/coins are no longer used. Oldest one you have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Okay, the kids have gone to bed and DH is spraying hair spray all over (to treat the bed of his 3D printer). I'll sign off and head towards bed myself. Goodnight, everyone! As DD15 said, there's only 2 more days until next year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 What's happened to Landry and the affected families is so sad. My sister had her girls in Landry science classes. One she's subbing Excelsior for (thanks to WTM threads), but she's still up in the air with the other. :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schadenfreude Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Oldest one you have?I'm not sure but there are some coins my grandfather brought home from Europe after WWII. We also have some Afghanistan money that never actually went into circulation. It was supposed to be their new currency but I guess they changed their minds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 So who is your favorite music artist? Mine depends on the mood I'm in. I waffle between Beethoven, Pink Floyd, old Greenday, old Korn, and the composer for the movie One (I can't think of his name right now).

KrissiK Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I'm working on my bullet journal. You people did this to me, you know. The girls are spending the night at Grandma's. It's relatively quiet here. The boys are still pretty tired from their All-Nighter. And I am also drinking peppermint tea. I'm running out of tea. I need to get some more. I should go to the grocery store tomorrow, but I don't feel like it. I actually had some plans for some fun little projects over vacation, but I am just so tired I don't want to do anything. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I feel a vent coming on. Yesterday I spent four stupid hours sitting in a auto shop waiting room while my brakes got fixed. Today I was doing errands and my car died in the parking lot in downtown Newcastle. Fortunately dh was home and could jumpstart the car. He told me to take the car to Sears to have the battery tested/get a new battery since this was the second time in just over a week that my car has needed to be jumped. Sears was populated by dozens of very nice brainless young men who wanted very badly to be helpful but knew even less about cars than I do. And that's saying a lot! After twenty minutes of them not being able to figure out what kind of a battery I need, I said "nevermind" and took my car to the auto supply store. There a equally nice but very knowledgeable young man tested my battery and sold me the correct one for my car. Ds will install the new battery for me. This is why I don't get anything really done at this house. I have my tackle lists but I can't get to half of it because of spending hours doing stuff that I didn't plan on doing.

Another Lynn Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Good Friday Morning! I was gone all day yesterday, home shortly, and then gone again to have dinner with friends. We also drank grapes together. :D But you guys talked for 3 or 4 pages! Wow! I am mostly ketch upped. Today I hope to ketchup on things around the house and maybe get the tree down finally - LONG overdue! Collections - I think I can safely say I have a book collection. I also have some of my Grandmother's china - so you might say I have a china collection. And thanks to dh taking kids to chess tournaments every weekend when they were little we also have a trophy collection. My kitchen table is still covered with trophies (not even half of the whole lot) thanks to the basement flood a month ago. Today might be the day to find a new place for them. I was not effected by Landry Academy closing, except to be sad for those who were. And sad to know that something of quality in the homeschooling community is gone. And also concerned that the situation may have left the Landrys (whom I don't know at all) in a difficult financial situation personally. Time to get moving.....

lanalouwho Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Captain Mal is having a colossal meltdown because there is no chocolate milk. Apparently running out of chocolate syrup is the same as hitting him repeatedly with a blunt object. *I only imagine this would be his reaction to being beaten with a blunt object.

Susan in TN Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Good morning! Such a lazy morning. I am looking through recipes to collect good/cheap/easy meals for the freezer. My sister got me a recipe book from the Six Sisters which has some yummy ideas. I have to leave in an hour to bring dd14 to the birthday party. Rats - that means I need pantz. The rest of the day will be spent making spring semester math binders for ds12 and dd10 (Math Mammoth, grades 6 and 4) and since it is payday, ordering ds21's and dd18's books for college classes. I need to go to the grocery store, as people around here get nervous when there is no cheese. You know we are getting low when we've been out of cheese for a couple days. :D I think I'll go tomorrow. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanalouwho Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 No cheese? That's zombie apocalypse level need. I think Mal gets 90% of his daily intake from cheese alone. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
