    I taught my 15 year old daughter to crochet

    Crocheting is easier than knitting, IMHO. It also sets you up for the continental way of knitting which I prefer. I tried to knit the American way but it just does not work for me. My daughter and I took a knitting class together when she was ten and did not want to learn from me. She liked it...

    I taught my 15 year old daughter to crochet

    this weekend! We started Friday with how to hold the yarn, making long chains and the single crochet. She must have liked it because she kept on practicing and not giving up. On Saturday morning she showed me that she made a square with single crochet without skipping stitches. We then went...

    And we wonder why obesity in our kids?

    In our school district you have to take either the school bus or car to get the kids to school. No walkers or bicyclists allowed. Even the kids who live just a fence width apart from their school have to be driven by car.

    So will you get the shot?

    I remember getting a flu shot in the 1970s and my brother and I became sick as dogs. I have never gotten another flu shot after that.

    I did it...I'm a grandma in college

    Congratulations!!!! School is a lot more fun the second time around. I am there myself right now. However, I would like to know what State you are in. The educational aides, even special education, do not require a degree in Alabama; just a High School Diploma.

    Is deodorant bad for children?

    I believe the latest research says that aluminum built up in the brain is a symptom of Alzheimers and not the cause. The aluminum in baking powder would contribute more to aluminum built up since it is directly ingested. However, the latest research does not support the aluminum claim.

    Did Insanity live up to its promises??

    I am two days away from finishing the rotation. I had no dread factor with the workouts and the 60 days flew by. Results are not that dramatic for me because I was already in good shape before I started (I already had a six pack, e.g.). However, I lost five pounds without trying and, looking at...

    STS shock cardio delivery - Sept. 2009

    I like pre-orders... I like not knowing exactly what I will get and when I'll get it. It's like a well-deserved present to me. I love surprises.

    What to do after ten years of stay at home

    My experience is that the Associates Degree is the new High School Diploma. In some areas of studies it is impossible to find employment with anything lower than a Masters just because there are so many Bachelor Degree Holders out there.

    What to do after ten years of stay at home

    In Alabama, you just need a High School Diploma and pass a background check. You do not have to have any formal teaching training to sub. But we only get $50/day. In addition, the teachers in my county were briefed to not take time off unless absolute necessary because the county has no money...

    Comfortable In Your Skin

    Quite honestly: I am surprised by how many women seem to care about how other women look/what other women do, etc. What other people do usually does not effect me, especially if it is just their apprearance. How should your gut affect me? Why should your pantyline make me lose a thought...
