I pop in here once in awhile. Not too often. I was in 21st Corps as well with my husband. We only did the summer camps out at Gunnison our first year inresidence. The rest of our inresidence time was at HQ. I know Caryn S got married and is close to the NY area. But I haven't a clue on the where abouts of anyone else.

OK is it just me? Did I miss it before? Or is this the first time that The Way website has made any mention to the "founder" of their ministry?? Just wondering anyone else know??

Personally, when I am in the need for new recipes, I log onto allrecipes.com!!! then I can even search by ingredients that I have on hand!!!!

Sunshine in WA, did you get a message saying hi from a couple you know yet?? I asked someone to pass the message on to you but I don't remember who it was!! My hubby and I were married on Feb 14, 88 in WA by Tom. We lived in Lynnwood. Started off in twig with Lynn then coordinated one of our own for a while. You and Sara came to visit us when you were in residence and we were on staff at HQ. If you still don't know who I am - email me at orientswife@hotmail.com and I will tell you. PS. Someone - Dale - I think asked when we were in WA? We were there from Aug 87 till 90 or 91. Dale I know your name but not sure, if I remember you from WA or working at HQ in Finance dept. Was in residence and on staff till fall of 95.

Anyone know if Cathy Meyer is still in?? I know her from my WA state days

My son uses the AR program on a regular basis. When he was in second grade, I requested him using the AR system of books/testing to encourage him to read more and push him to reach a higher reading level... which it did. As a regular volunteer in my son's media center (library/computer), I help alot with the label of books for the AR system. I notice that alot of the books have a very low point range -- many are 0.5 or 1.0 unless you get into something like Harry Potter series than you hit 40 + points. My son's school uses the AR testing system more for tracking the Level of Reading that the students are at. The points aren't even used. Sure it is tracked by the testing system but it isn't used as a reward/punishment system. The goal of reaching the next higher reading level is the reward!! What an accomplishment for a child to have -- to see their level go from for example 2.1 to 3.4 in one school year. Who cares if they get .5 point to 50 points as long as they are improving themselves? It is more than just learning to read. It is learning to think, remember and comprehend what they are reading that is important.

ToadFriend, Please don't take offense to this. But I was just wondering if you knew the birth parents... how do you know how much love they have to give or their financial situation. Yes it was a very said thing for the folks that adopted. But why judge the birth parents especially if you don't know them? I am sure they love that child very much. I find it said when folks judge others like that especially if you have never been in their shoes.

There is hope!! The kid will really do when he is ready. Not just physically but mentally too.!! More than anything I found that potty training was really a power struggle issue thing for me and my son. It isn't worth the fight. Just know that he will eventually do it all on his own Trust me you won't be packing that diaper bag too much longer and then you are gonna miss it!!!!

if it helps any of you I think the Joel Palmer Sunny is looking for was 21st Corps

I just had to do this the other day!! I opened the door and saw white shirts, ties and name tags (not way ones) but nametags!!! I said oh no not today please leave. I don't want to discuss anything with you so just please leave. Yeah now that I think about it I was pretty nice to them normally I am not especially after a week like this past week I had had. The time before that I threatened call the police and to press charges on them for tresspassing cuz they didn't leave when I asked them too. They never should have argued with me about what I should want to do. To me they are just another form of telemarketers and I don't want them to come knocking on my door or calling me on my phone

posting her because I know a lot of the same people that sunny knows!!

thanks ex
