Tsuga Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Leftovers are my friend. I do like Lynn's plans though. I used to do freezer cooking until my freezer died. :crying: :willy_nilly: I'm sorry. We found a lot of freezers on Craisglist but I know you guys are saving up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I tired. DH and I set up the temporary chicken pen. Now we just have to get the screen on the top and the chickens can have hawk-free outings without constant supervision. And I can see the pen from the house, but it was a lot of work and my back is going to hurt tomorrow. Because of work, no writing was done other than a little bit of work on the plot summary for the short story. One of my readers pounced me when she saw the manuscript in my stuff and demanded it so I will have to work extra hard to have it done in two weeks. No more news on the query front. Still waiting on one agent to let me know if my query went through back in January. I talked shop with one of my beta readers about stories. Camp NaNo is coming. :willy_nilly: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Last night I was so stressed about the cold that I was up every hour or two checking on the ducklings (who were in multiple layers of pj's and hats and socks and quilts). Around 4, I found little ds3 totally uncovered with his hat off. When I went to tuck him back in, he rolled over and said "Oh Mama, I sooooo cold." And he was. It was heartbreaking. He got to sleep with me and Daddy Duck the rest of the night. :001_wub: Wish we had a king sized bed.... I'd have liked to pile everyone in. Stuffing a family in a small bed is an art. Some head to toe, some sleep across the foot. Don't ask me how I know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Edpo! Avert thine eyes! I’m looking at the online samples of Art of Argument and feeling kind of meh. It doesn’t seem like there’s going to be that much new after Fallacy Detective and all the questions seem like just comprehension, not much application. FD was all application, which was a ton of fun. So it leaves me wondering...if it’s not going to be that much fun anyway, maybe we should just do MP’s Traditional Logic. I looked at the online samples for that and was really impressed at the meat of it. But typical MP, not very attractive. It feels a little grinchy to put her in that after super silly FD. I’m starting to feel more cautious with CAP materials in general. They are SO SO appealling to me, but they’ve been a letdown half the time. VHSG had a teacher doing Traditional Logic when Dancer was in...I don't remember what grade. She almost died of boredom. I don't know if it was the teacher, just the book, or both together, but death by boredom was near. We never finished it. You might like it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no one quite like Scarlett O’Hara, that’s for sure. Although in today’s political climate.... it wouldn’t surprise me if it soon got banned.

luuknam Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Edpo: Because of some stuff on the high school board, I ended up looking up the admissions requirements for some Dutch universities for American applicants. None of them mention homeschoolers, but, most require 4 APs with at least a score of 3, for about half the majors they require the AP Calc AB or BC, and for some majors they require AP Physics C or w/e it's called, and/or AP Bio, and/or AP Chem. Those are the only APs I saw being specifically required for anything, so, I guess it's obvious what 4 APs would be the sensible ones to take (unless one of the kids is absolutely 100% positively sure they're not interested in STEM, in which case AP Calc would still be on the table (required for things like Economics as well), but then the science ones could be replaced with other APs). None required more than 4 APs, but one uni required only 2 APs, but with a minimum scores of 4. The same uni doesn't require any APs for some majors, like history, but does require a high school diploma that would allow admission to a research university, which, based on stuff I've read before about other countries, probably could be satisfied by applying to any research U here, getting admitted, and sending them a copy showing "yep, done". Oh, and one university also listed getting a transfer AA or AS as a possibility (through DE or w/e), but, that seems like an awful lot of work/money compared to the "4 APs with minimum scores of 3"-requirement. Obviously, nobody here will be taking AP Calc/Bio/Phys/Chem anytime soon, but, it's nice to be beginning to form some ideas about high school requirements. Oh, and none of the Dutch universities give a flip about ACT scores, or SAT scores, or SAT subject tests. They absolutely do.not.care. A lot of them do offer entire majors in English, in case y'all are wondering. ETA: oh, and one uni mentioned they want a 3.0/4.0 GPA for high school as well. Anyway, hope y'all enjoyed Late Night Ramblings with Luuknam. Good night! Edited March 11, 2018 by luuknam 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us are missing church today for chess tourney and swim meet. Some of us watched Hello Dolly last night since my two teens are in a production of it this spring.

I'm reading a book about Lincoln, John Quincy Adams and the Abolitionists right now and I like it. I'm quickly becoming a John Quincy Adams fan. This has been a random update from me.

Sincerely, Yoda Yesterday I forgot to make sure Dad's clocks got changed before I left after his lift recliner was delivered. I had mentioned it to Dad, and he remembered and changed most of his clocks himself. I didn't find out about that until this morning, when I called him to make sure he was awake in time to get ready to go down to breakfast.
