Susan in TN Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Being Mennonite, you generally have to play the Mennonite Game every time you meet someone with a Mennonite name like Enns, Friesen, Harder, Klassen, Penner, Thiessen, etc. You have to find out their grandparent’s names as far back as you can go, find out where they are from (generally some place in Kansas or Oklahoma - Hillsboro, Kansas gives you the most clout) and then see if you are somehow related to each other. When I was in high school we had to do a family tree and back when I was at that high school, there were a lot of Mennonite kids (it’s actually a Mennonite-started school). We all discovered a bunch of 2nd and 3rd cousins we never knew we had. I know a Penner and a Thiessen family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I love that dd14's tutorial ends their fall semester mid-Nov. I do have a lighter schedule for December and I can have dd14 read at story time and go through the writing stuff if necessary. Ds13 will read history chapters (SOTW) or history literature to dds11&8, too, so that helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Why does Dd want to be a doctor? I told her that any disputes about the Anatomy and Physiology answers are to be taken up with her father. If he, as a medical professional agrees with her, then I will change the grade.

I have his tree going back several hundred years in Switzerland. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) The doctor did not call me back today. He might get an earful from me tomorrow. I'm generally nice and understanding when it comes to medical things, because I know it's not easy to keep up with stuff, but a patient who needs a biopsy is something you probably want to follow up on when they call you and request a call back.

AMJ Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Diaper rash cream works well on noses chafed from tissues and viruses. My kids think it's disgusting but I'm desperate. I have no idea what to get anyone for Christmas and no desire to shop. Everything looks blah. Big kids are boring. I miss the days when I was hiding dollhouses and train sets. Even Baby...there's no fun in shopping for a 2 month old. DH retires in 6mos and will quit working long before that! :ohmy: I've wanted this for so long but now it feels a little scary. People keep saying he should stay home and I should work but people are morons. My MS is so old and dusty that I don't even know where I'd start to look for a job and it wasn't in a high paying field anyway. I think I'd need to go get a 2nd masters to make myself relevant. Lanolin wipes are a small miracle. For some silly reason the stores keep putting them in the breastfeeding supplies area instead of with the other diaper wipes, but they are God's gift to babies suffering from diaper rash. Rashes heal much faster when lanolin wipes are used instead of regular baby wipes. When used regularly they also help prevent diaper rash in the first place. They saved DD16's tender little behind when she was a babe, and DD13 never had to contend with diaper rash at all. Then I discovered that when periods or incontinence or flu make an adult behind raw and tender the lanolin wipes are God's gift again. There are no babies in this house, nor do I know any, but I still stock the lanolin wipes. Imagine what they can do for chapped noses, when used instead of a tissue. They lay down a soothing, protective, invisible barrier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decries university lecture model. STudents must be active in class, thinking, replying orally, practicing art of composition. Well, I have the first part down. Everybody, did you put the chickens up? Did you finish your Latin translation? Did you study your vocabulary? Did you write? Did you feed the dogs? Take out the garbage? Second part, pretty good. We talk a lot and they talk back plenty.
