pholdermomof3 It depends on the state. We live in MS and the laws here are great. All we have to do is sign each child up with the school attendance officer by Sept 15 of each year. We do not have to do any testing. We are members of a very large Christian homeschool group...

Yay! New 5K PR!

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 8 May 10

I didn't run a flat 26 minute 5K like I wanted to, but considering the cold, I think coming in a little over 30 seconds over that is pretty good. Especially since that's still a PR by over a minute. Now I'll have to run another...

Anyone finds trouble sleeping in absolutely quiet places?

raisen90 @raisen90 (2) • Argentina 5 Jun 10

Maybe it's beacuse I've been living all my life next to a constantly noisy avenue, but I just can't sleep when I'm in a quiet place(last year I went camping in the mountains, didn't sleep at all). Anyone has the same problem?...

pholdermomof3 We sleep with a humidifier running in our room. If it is not running I can't go to sleep very well. If we are staying in a hotel I sleep pretty good unless there is a lot of noise.

pholdermomof3 I do not like raw vegetables either. The only thing I have eaten grilled is corn and it is great. I have never thought about grilling other veggies. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea.

facebook addicts?

kharlav @kharlav (1669) • Philippines 5 Jun 10

I guess you are a facebook addict since you opened this discussion. There are a lot of rumors about facebook being removed. Facebook has already been part of our daily internet lives. When this happens, what will you do?

10 responses

pholdermomof3 Yes, I am addicted to Facebook. Don't always believe what you hear. Facebook is not going anywhere. Why would it? The guy that created Facebook was named the youngest self made billionare by Forbes in 2008. Why would he cut off the hand that feeds him?

pholdermomof3 What about a gift card to Walmart or Target? You could also do a gift basket full of personal care items, or maybe a movie basket. Does she knit or crochet? You could give her a gift card to her favorite hobby store to buy new yarn.
