I've seriously wondered over the years if this is a side effect of our food supply being tampered with via hormones, chemicals, and such. The generations younger than me are just so much BIGGER! I'm not talking weight, either. They're TALL... like GIANTS! Edited November 16, 2020 by Servant4Christ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I think subsequent generations being taller is a normal thing that's been happening for centuries. Due to better nutrition, etc. People 100 years ago, average height was shorter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant4Christ Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Good point. Never thought of it that way. I remember my senior year it seemed like all the incoming freshman were so much bigger than us.

KrissiK Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Well, the Raiders won, I talked to my SIL for a while about Thanksgiving, I helped DS understand a poem for his English class (I don’t know if he understood it, well, he probably could understand it if he cared 🙄) and made roasted veggies and brown rice for my lunch every day this week. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 We had fewer dogs today at agility so they all got a good workout. And so did us humans! I thought it kind of funny that the two young women with young dogs threw in the towel earlier than us middle aged ladies. We practiced jumps, dog walk (the balance beam), A frame, tunnel, table and weave poles. Juliet did the taller dog walk when no one was there but stuck to the smaller one when she had the distraction of other dogs. We also learned the chute (a "collapsed" tunnel of fabric that the dog pushes through) and the teeter totter. Juliet was able to do some of it off leash. She loves it so much. Before class the dogs ran around together off leash and did fine. But then I accidentally got a treat too close to an Aussie male and Juliet and he got into it. We had to keep them separated the rest of the time. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The daughter wasn’t too interested,so the dog became my friend’s responsibility. She goes to all those type of classes with her dog and just loves them. Now I never see her without her dog. They are quite a pair. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant4Christ Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Technology PO? I am trying to do something and I know there has to be an efficient way to do it but it's just not coming to mind. I have pics of the covers of each book on our historical literature list. How do I format them all to the same size and print them all the same size? I want to cut them out and place them on a timeline along with all the events we're studying to give Oldest an idea of what each time period was like in a more visual way since he's already read the majority of the books before we've gotten that far in history.

It works better for us to have a routine every.single.day. It also helps with retention, especially in math. We used to work until lunchtime, but when my migraines hit a few years ago, our days got shorter. We are a little bit behind in some subjects, but not bad. My high schoolers work longer, but most of their work is done independently. Right now my littlest two (grades 5 and 7) only do actual schoolwork for about an hour a day. They both prefer doing all of one subject at a time, so for instance dd10 did Bible today and dd12 chose Language. Dd10 did four pages of Bible (2 days worth in "regular" school). It was all I assigned her because she is ahead in this subject. Dd12 did 6 pages of Language. She is actually a little bit behind (she's in the 6th grade book), but we don't do grammar after 6th grade, so she is ok to be behind because she finishes when she finishes. (She will probably be finished by Christmas.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a project like this once - we had a "reading tree" on the wall - the leaves were book covers. I did it on a PC, not sure how it would work on a mac or whatnot. I started a WORD document and put a bunch of "text boxes" on it of the size I wanted. Then I copied and pasted the pictures of the book covers into the text boxes and adjusted them to the size I wanted. Then printed them out. Easy peasy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get up in the morning, have a leisurely breakfast, eventually do Official School Stuff. It was restful. 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I do not use the first bow... where’d that come from? So, I guess my year will be goofy, floral and full of flowers. I am TRYING to stay positive. On the dog front, what am I doing wrong? @Jean in Newcastle I would love to do agility classes. Our laid back pup is so reactive to other dogs, not aggressive, but she pulls & barks. And, she weighs 80 lbs! Very well trained to everyday house commands/laid back with guests, but...I read about dogs in classes and wonder if she’d get over it?!? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
