Okay so recently I had a discussion with someone and I had to bring the topic up here. Do you myloters think Homeschooling is the same as going to school? Do you think that you can learn properly? Do you think that someone can...

youngsweetheart That's probably true in larger towns and suburbs, but in rural areas (like where I grew up), there weren't options like that except through the school - the population wasn't large enough that such organizations were needed.

I learned today that a friend is about to turn 59. I think it's 59. At my age, it doesn't pay to trust my memory and that got me thinking that getting older really sucks. But then, "lightbulb over head goes on". There are actually...

youngsweetheart I LOVED Get Smart. LOVED it. I watched it on Nick at Nite when I was a kid. Thought it was hysterical. But of course, I'm a big Mel Brooks fan.

youngsweetheart Okay, sparky, I'll share my vicodin with you. But don't tell Dr. Gregory House I have extra. He's been a bit twitchy lately.

youngsweetheart Marissa, that gave me a MUCH needed laugh! But I hope that's not what the dentist has planned, because hubby will be in the waiting room, and he earned a special Marksman ribbon in basic training... No morphine, but I've been promised Vicodin. Me like...

youngsweetheart I would share, sparky, but I needs them. I'm having my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow, lol, and the dentist wants me to be cooperative. Maybe he's afraid I'll kick him in his chicken tenders?

youngsweetheart I asked ahead about the pain meds - I have a high tolerance, and I didn't want them prescribing Ibuprofen when I was too out of it to protest! But no, I get Vicodin. I love Vicodin. Vicodin is my friend. And thanks for the tip!

youngsweetheart I have chronic pain in my left leg, which would make me a whiny pain in the patootie to anyone unlucky enough to kidnap me. And going up stairs leaves me a tad winded. And I'm only 24. Yeah, aging is going to be LOTS of fun for me! I hope no one ever...

youngsweetheart They gave me Valium, lol - One to take tonight, two to take before I go in, and one extra. And I have my husband, who is taking off of work to take care of me. Still nervous, but I'm sure I'll survive!

youngsweetheart When my daughter brought home her very first Scholastic order form, I was beside myself with glee - one of my favorite parts of school was ordering those books! We try to get at least one book every time, to encourage both of our kids to read and love books.

youngsweetheart You are the aunt to any children your siblings have. When your nieces/nephews have children, then yes, you are a Great Aunt, and the child is your great niece or nephew, depending on their gender. Does that answer your question?

I don't approve of this for very young children. This is because I feel, it's too early for them. Most of us adults know the "addictive" effect of the internet in our daily lives. We spend less and less time to read, to interact...

youngsweetheart No, for two reasons. First, neither of my kids knows how to operate the computer other than to play games (and even that they need help with). Second, our computer is in our family room, and neither is old enough to stay home alone, so we're always present...
