    Hi Grinity,

    Just read this one, must have missed it. How are things in DD land? Good, quiet. I realize I've been quiet on the forum.. I've been reading, but I get up in my head sometimes when I have a lot going on. Since DD7 doesn't want to skip, I've been busy trying to fabricate a reasonable learning environment afterschool and weekends. Also for DD5. They seem pretty happy right now, I think I have a few things right for now. I've enjoyed reading your blogs on the other forum. I have to get busy and order my for the grandchildren swag. I'm thinking of just buying the stuff and giving it to people for gifts with no explanation smile

    Oh Ania!
    We've missed you.
    Try this link. http://giftedonlineconferences.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?user=wd3g6vk7v4ig
    you will probably have to join 'gifted on line conferences' Sally_L's group, but that's good too. I've been a busy person, creating a 'best of' blog, and figuring out how to use cafepress as well -

    How's this for a 'dark side'?
    I came in on a conversation between GS8 and the librarian as she was saying, "Nooooo, we don't have those books in the childrens section". Turns out he was asking for books by Edgar Allen Poe. eek

    Too Much OH!
    Reminds me of a childhood memory, in the libray at age 8, sent in to pick up one of the "OZ" series for my brother.

    Me: Where are the OZ books?
    Librarian: But little girl, don't you know that you are too little for those?
    Me: (slighted) They are for my 5 year old brother.
    Librarian: Third stack on the Left.

    ((He taught himself at age 3, and got identified as 'the gifted one' every since.))

    Smiles,
    Grinty

    Spam comes in all flavors, Kriston. I notified the moderator. Yes, we are 'in public' although it sure doesn't feel like it!

    LOL! I thought maybe it was a conversation I had missed part of. Duh!

    What odd spam! Who pays people to write that kind of weirdness?

    Now I would guess that we are truly off topic, but

    I googled spam writers! Hey,If I have to homeschool someday, I'll still need to make a living, and I'll bet DS11 could help.
