Popular Post Not_a_Number Posted January 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hey all, I know I haven't been online much, and I still don't feel ready to update people on what's going on with us (life has been a lot), but I wanted to say hi 🙂. We're still in California and are heading home to NYC in a week. We met up with @WTM yesterday and had lots of fun 🙂 . DD9 is still being unschooled, with some successful innovations and some unsuccessful forays into being taught. Otherwise, life really is... a lot. But I'm hoping it's a lot in a way that'll lead to better outcomes for us all. 63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Hope you are in NorCal, where we are enjoying a crazy long stretch of unseasonably warm weather this month! We need more rain badly, but this has been really pleasant. Edited January 29, 2022 by Carol in Cal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should visit Muir woods or some of the redwood forests. There's actually creeks and streams, which is not always the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, I was staying off planes mostly because I wasn't sure how severe Omicron was and because it was going to be the busiest travel day of the year 😂. I feel pretty reassured about those! But yeaaah, I'm not doing another 10-day trip on the road within a month, LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porridge Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 So fun to meet @Not_a_Number, Mr. @Not_a_Number, and her girls IRL! We've instilled our kids with a healthy sense of internet-stranger-danger. When I told my kids we were all going to meet someone I met on the internet, both of them looked alarmed. DS exclaimed, "What!? Like on Tinder?!!!" So now I'll always think of @Not_a_Numberas my Well Trained Mind and Tinder friend.... 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
