I knew you couldn't go an entire day without needing the stick.She's not odd... she's just mean.

Hell I don't know, I'm probably as old/young as you are!Is that what this younger generation calls a 'clap back?' Am I hip yet?

....soooooooo, the clean up continues at "The Ranch", still can't call it my house yet.....and I decided I was going to tackle Dad's wine cabinet....he was quite the amateur vinter in his day.....I knew there was gonna be trouble as soon as I cracked the door open.......yee doggies!....the smell alone would make you dance like Kurben in his Mexican git-up or like a strung out Hep Cat....I decided to get rid of what was left of the home brew, because I didn't want to sicken anyone if it had "gone over"......ye gods and little fishes!.....it still smelled GOOD....however, when the corks are disintegrating and there is sludge at the bottom of the bottles that reminded me WAY to much of Gray Matter, I chose to pour it all into huge glass jugs he had used for the original fermentation.....will be pouring that over the hill back of the house.....then when the mutant chipmunks come after me, waving acorns drunkenly about-I'll have no-one to blame but myself.....oldest bottle I found was from 1976.....it's a shame they went bad, cuz he made a hell of a good drop of the grape.....

I was talking to a lady at work about hobbies, free time, etc. Told her about my love of SK books. She said she'd never heard of him! WHAT??! Then she proceeded to tell me she's never read an entire book. And keep in mind she homeschools her SIX children. Seriously?! 
Sorry if I sound snarky, but the whole thing is making me lightheaded.

I just dribbled blue Gatorade down my chin when I read your post. What?! (LIKE THAT INSURANCE COMMERCIAL)I was talking to a lady at work about hobbies, free time, etc. Told her about my love of SK books. She said she'd never heard of him! WHAT??!

LOL
I am an advocate for home schools (and private schools) but a woman who has never read an entire book has no business teaching. I don't think you're being snarky. It's just astonishing. Puzzling. Heck, maybe I am being too harsh, but wow...I was talking to a lady at work about hobbies, free time, etc. Told her about my love of SK books. She said she'd never heard of him! WHAT??! Then she proceeded to tell me she's never read an entire book. And keep in mind she homeschools her SIX children. Seriously?!
I'm usually all for it also. I keep wondering if the kids will be tested at some point. And if they don't score high enough, she won't be able to be their teacher. Maybe that's not how it works though. The criteria for homeschooling has drastically changed in the past ten years. It used to be mandatory to have a bachelor's degree (in any subject) to teach. That's not the case anymore.
Homeschool Laws By State
Choose your state or territory to get detailed information on how to withdraw from public school, homeschooling requirements including testing & mandatory subjects, plus resources and more.
hslda.org
varies by state. Children are required to pass tests, and those desiring entry to college need to complete SAT. A person who does not read is not a competent teacher.( personal opinion)
Twenty years ago today Stephen was hit by a van while walking a country road in Maine. We remain grateful he survived.
20 years?!!! Oh my goodness, it's scary how fast time has gone by.
A day in history we shall not forget.
