texasmama Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Unkers had essential oils before essential oils were cool. The old packaging didn't even say essential oils. It's an Amish thang. #apparentlyI'mintoessentialoils #113yearoldrecipe I looked it up on Amazon, if that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I've mentioned unkers 3 times and nobody says anything. Hey slache, what's unkers? Oh nothing. Just THE CURE FOR THE COMMON COLD! It also cures sunburn, bug bites, my sore back and the weird skin rash I had for 4 years. And almost anything else you can think of.

I threw out the rest of my makeup, as it hadn't been used in five years. I did shower. I concur. Except I had pants. I don't do makeup; it makes me break out. I'm dark, so I have enough color already. Thus, I am not interested.

Renai Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hey, Renai, THANKS! This Destinos isn't just a Spanish-language TV show, it's part of an educational website! I've got to look into this stuff more -- they have other educational stuff, too! I briefly saw something that mentioned world history. This might be right up the kids' alley as well as mine. Thank you thank you thank you! :party: :party: There are syllabi based on Destinos available for free on some MOOC. Can't remember which. I'm only on page 590 so I don't know if you've responded to my other post about learner.org. I've posted periodically about this site over the years. They have a lot of educational videos that were put out by the Annenberg Foundation. There are several foreign language series as well as other series. Many used to be played on PBS or other educational channels. It's a great resource. The VHG is putting together a course(s) based on Destinos for the high school school students. Since it's a college course, we're stretching each semester to a year. I haven't worked on it in a while though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Creo que entiendo, mas o menos. (I don't think that phrase is exactly right, but Renai promised she wouldn't laugh at me... My reading comprehension is much better than my speaking/listening ability.) I'm teaching Spanish 1 to ds15 and dd13. I recently took the practice CLEP test and earned a high enough score to pass 4 semesters of Spanish at our local cc. (I was surprised that I remembered that much from high school.) I bet you understood just fine. I would never laugh. And I always advise adults to learn with other adults, not with children. Also, to answer someone else's commentary about a "window" to language-learning, it has to do with picking up the accent, not the language. Adults have a distinct advantage in learning a language in that they have more of a vocabulary and life experience foundation to build upon than a child does. The only difference is the manner in which children vs adults are usually taught. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I am teaching what I like to call "Kindergarten Spanish": colors, counting to 100, basic vocabulary. We will be moving into some grammar after Christmas. Our church has a Spanish service, and one of my friends from church was born in a Spanish-speaking country and came to the US when she married an American. I'm also friends with a Spanish teacher and her fiance who is a native Spanish speaker. It's nice to have resources!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Make - up - I know I'm late to the party. I always do a moisturizer and under-eye concealer, even if I'm not wearing make up because without that it's scary. A normal day also adds a tinted moisturizer for base, very neutral/light eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara (because otherwise, no eyes), and lip stick - usually neutral ish, sometimes towards berry (see avatar). I used a mineral foundation for awhile but the make up brush would leave little hairs behind and that was a total pain. Yes, I washed the make up brush a gazillion times. It wasn't even a cheap one. #aintnobodygottimefordat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Are you pulling from resources or making it up as you go? I made up my own curriculum using a combination of several small workbooks. I may end up making my own, but for now this is working. BJU Spanish was recommended to me, but the dc didn't like it. They said that it was hard to put sentences together because they didn't know enough words. So, we are learning words first. The dc will be taking a midterm (as soon as I get it written). It's 150 vocab questions. If you want to know what workbooks I'm using, let me know and I'll dig them out and tell you what they are. Junie, cookies update? Delicious, especially with egg nog. :) Thanks!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like I never knew what I was doing and I looked like a fool in front of my child. I want to learn the method and apply it. Which is a bummer because RightStart looks so yummy.

AMJ Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I have one really amazing picture of myself at 16. Holy crap. If only I knew how hot I was!!!! My favoritest picture of me ever was lost in a flash flood in the late 1990's. It was of the back of me, standing atop a dune at Great Sand Dunes, with my arms raised. My friend took it when we made a trip there, and the framing and light was beautifully captured. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Time to whine a little, so I get it out of my system. Time should simply STOP when I am sick until I can recover and take care of things again. Trying to think clearly and stay on top of everything when I am stuffed up or feeling crappy just doesn't do it for me. It should stop for EVERYONE dealing with more than they can handle. You'd think after so many years down here I'd have it all planned out for the last quarter of every year, but no, I never do. 6 birthdays, 3 holidays requiring prep time (4 if you count New Year's), our wedding anniversary, autumn allergies, educating kids, NaNoWriMo -- it's all a bit much. The things I CAN unload from my schedule I am unwilling to let go of, and the things I want to go away are perennially unavoidable. Of course. I don't wanna have to do laundry right now! So I made myself fold and put away the clean towels. I don't wanna have to worry about food and meals right now! So I cooked breakfast for my kids. I don't wanna have to drive anywhere cuz I'm stuffy! So I have taken some meds to be in fit shape to drive the kids to the dentist. I've made lists of what has to happen between now and Christmas. I've broken the lists out into specific days, to emphasize which things have earlier deadlines and which can wait until early next week. I've plotted and planned and communicated the timing necessary for various things so the immediate family is not taken by surprise and can't complain that I didn't let them know. I have been responsible, and will continue to be responsible. But I don't wanna. Okay, fuss fest over. Time to stop feeling sorry for myself over minor troubles and get on with life. Thanks for listening. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
