I'll wear sackcloth and sit in the ashes with you.

Hmmm..... Shouldn't be deadly.

Sally is gonna murder me for this, but as long as she has high humidity, (70-75%) it should be okay to open it once and flip it real quick. Toss a hot, wet papertowel in afterwards to make humidity jump again. I honestly don't think opening a few times will cause death.

Too soon to say.

Gotta find gold earring hoops for my DD. Her piercings have been a nonstop struggle since December. Now one of her lobes has grown over the earring back. I'm not looking forward to that later. DD is 7 and a huge weenie about things that hurt or MIGHT hurt. She'll scream and cry if I just mention brushing her tangled hair.

Anyway, I'm picking up gold hoops and oragel, so hopefully we can get this resolved.

Good morning! I think the only exciting thing we have planned today is sending a few boys to freezer camp and maybe getting the ducklings outside to play for a while.

Is there a good thread on ways to store eggs?
Does anyone remember how long you dip eggs in boiling water (?seconds) so you can leave them out for a couple of months? I know remember reading about it years ago in some missionary journals.
@Akrnaf2You are good at research, do you know?

This is my sisters third year, and my second year. We did the mifflin county online it was through the Lincoln and the k12 program. But there are so many kids doing it this and last year it has been over a week into the school year until we got our computers. And they had combined the mifflin county online and alpha together because of all the kids doing it.

I tried k12 when my son was in Kinder, and I wasn't a fan.. it was great for kids who could just breeze through work, but for kids who struggle, it was too hard for him to keep up with, and they weren't super flexible when it came to special needs.

We use a combination of workbooks, youtube, and the internet, along with supplemental reading and co-op classes for his education.

My daughter has a combination of leapfrog kindergarten kit set, and some supplemental workbooks. I like having a flexible program, because then, if she wants to say... hatch eggs for her science project, we can do basic math, science, reading, and language arts along with the "history" of whatever it is she's learning... to kind of round it out for a bit. It makes it so much fun to learn, that I like learning with her, too, so it's not as tedious.

We do flash cards for math and reading/sight words too.

I'm probably biased against public schools, because of my experience with them as a special "needs" kid.

I'm autistic, and am pretty much 100% self taught, I was in special ed, classes growing up and never did regular school work, I was never mainstreamed, and they'd graduate me from one grade to the next, without ever testing or teaching me. I got my GED and put myself into college, as an adult. They didn't think I would be able to live a functional life when I was a kid, so they didn't bother. I may not have "proved" I was learning to them, but I learned alot more than they thought. Given the way public schools cater to the middle kid, I'm more interested in going at the pace of my child and making learning fun.

My daughter wants to be a vet when she grows up, so her education is going to be a lot more intensive, so she can qualify for those programs. My son... well, he's asked if he'd get free food if he chose to work at McDonalds... and has no interest in college... so my goal for him is more along the lines of a GED, maybe his driver license... and some kind of trade skills that can provide enough of an income and health insurance he'll survive. He's special needs. (Not autism.) but his type of special needs may or may not allow him to make it with out support... so I just want him to have the basics, so if he needs support, he can still have a life with enough skills, that if he is 100% independent, he'll make it on his own.
