Jean in Newcastle Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The Old Dog/ New Tricks report: Rocky has caught on very quickly that ringing the bell will give him a treat. But he's so surprised when he is put outside. So now I"m mixing up the reinforcement with some treats sometimes and lots of pets and praise at other times. My special ed training is good for something. . . . 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I have very tiny caterpillars in a cup on my kitchen countertop. We don't do this every year, more like every other year or so, because they are kind of expensive, but they are fun! Also, we are taking a butterfly class with our homeschool group. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) :seeya: Impromptu field trip today. The Spokane Falls are supposed to peak today and, as you probably don't know because I never ever discuss the weather, we have had MUCH precipitation this year. It's apparently quite a sight to behold this year! Much Precipitation? Pshaw. I don't believe it! (Hope it was spectacular!)

Susan in TN Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 "There are three kinds of lies: lies, d--- lies and statistics". (Benjamin Disraeli) Exactly! My statistics prof said if we never learned anything else from his classes he wanted us to remember how easy it is to manipulate statistics to say just about anything. The biggest value of his classes was learning how to spot problematic usage of stats, which is nearly all usage. Dd18 and ds12 are both studying statistics. They feel rather shocked. :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 This morning we went on as impromptu a field trip as we will ever go on. (I put in our reservation last week.) It was a free class put on by Parks and Rec called "Can You Dig It?" and it was really good. Dd10 is especially interested in archeology and brought a "special" rock she found to ask about. We ate our "picnic" in the car on the way home because it is cold outside and the kids were tired of being cold (and muddy from the digging and wet from the washing of hands). Then we had story time and history and then I took a nap. I'm hungry and need more coffee! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Coming off prednisone is not fun. Today was my step down day, from 15 mg to 10. I'm tired (but not sleepy), and I'm grouchy. I feel really sluggish. I guess it's a good thing that I got so much done in the last two weeks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I know, right? I'm gone all day, and was caught up in like 5 minutes. Nobody is taking this thread seriously.

AMJ Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I want to grow cilantro at the same time I grow tomatoes. So I can make pico de gallo. But cilantro doesn't grow here in the summer. Parsley seems a bit more hardy toward the heat and if I wack it back it'll last till the freeze. What about a pot on a windowsill? For the cilantro? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I did something to my knee yesterday evening. This morning when I got up it was better, then something went out of whack again and it's a lot worse. I toughed out the lengthy drive to/from art class today and begged DH to get home from work in time to take DD12 to tap dance class. I have iced my knee and put it up for a while, and had the girls bring me food and stuff while I lay on the couch watching Enterprise. I need to get upstairs to bed while I can get my knee to work, so I don't get to finish catching up here. Tomorrow I'm calling the doctor to try to get squeezed in. If I have to I'll also call ILs to see if they will drive me. Nighty-night, everyone. Sleep well! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 What is a hail cannon?We live where there are a lot of stone fruit and hail damages it. So, a hail canon creates sound waves that break up the hail in the clouds. Some people don't believe they work, but we haven't had hail any time they turn the canons on. They make loud booms. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi. I just wanted to tell y'all we went out last night with our Brazilian missionary friends who were attacked by a tapir awhile back. It's always so sweet to see them. Then they leave. I love them so. It was so nice to let the kids play with their kids and not have to worry about anything. Whenever we hang out with people at the park or whatever kids are encouraging our kids to lie to us or swearing or hitting. Gug! The Rs are so lovely. And they speak 3 languages which was cool. I think that was Slache! :D #notheretodefendherself #whatshedoesntknowwonthurther :glare: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
