Happy happy birthday Paw!! There have been many great and wonderful people born in November....like you .......and me ;)--> :D--> ;)-->

love, tcat

Well I guess I gotta put in my 2 cents worth. Being the survivor of 14 stepfathers, and never having even seen a picture of my bio-father.

Of the 14 stepfathers I had each one was pretty messed up for the most part. And all of them were abusive in one way or another, both to my mother and all of us children.

If my mother ever tells me she killed one of them, I'd just think "good he was just using up good air anyway."

Sorry just tcat showing her claws.

Happy birthday Cindy! It's my birthday too. Let's go celebrate!

Will continue to keep praying. love tcat

I would not eat them with a goat

I would not eat them in a boat

I would not eat them with a fox

I would not eat them in a box

Hi there Chas! I'll try to answer your questions on home schooling.

The why for us was 1.grade school kids were being arrested for selling drugs, yikes. 2.There is a huge percentage of high school grads in this city that can't read or write. 3.Our kidlet's way of learning would have not worked with the puplic school's way of teaching. 4.At this time when we got her hearing tested she could only hear 50% in one ear and 25% in the other. She has since had her hearing restored due to answer to prayer.

As far as picking curriculum, that's the hard part, because there are soooo many out there. We pick and choose, some years I just make one up. Sometimes like last year we bought Switched on Schoolhouse. It was on the puter, and even schedualled and graded the work. you have to figure out what your kid and you will like.

The kid loves home schooling, but she's never been to public school. But she has many friends that go to public school, and of course home school friends. I ask her every summer if she wants to go to public school in the fall. And she always says NO WAY!

Regrets, only when I have to grade her papers. Basically it's become just another part of our lives.

The first thing I would do is try to find out if there are any home schooling groups where you live. We have several here in Austin. Hook up with them and pick their brains. (eewww ;)-->)

Also every state has different laws aboout home schooling. Here in Texas the law sees each home schooling family as a private school and must teach 5 basic subjects. The nice part is you can teach it how ever you like. (we watch the History Channel a lot).

Also check out you library. More and more of them are keeping books about home schooling.

Hope this is somewhat helpful. I would give you some web sites, but I'd have to find that note first. Love to Learn is one of my favorites. And Elijah Company. Both have websites and will send you a catalogue if you ask.

Awww Radar I'm sorry to hear about sweet Violet. And of course I'll pray for your new Buddy. And still pray for you too. love tcat

Ditto to what was said above. I'll be praying too. love tcat

Oh the poor family! I can't imagine their sorrow. I will be praying for them. love tcat
