Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums GT Research Out there - looking for response to DS statement

LOL! I already tell him that as he jumps in and out of the tub, stands up, splashes down, etc., etc. Worse is the mess he makes when he decides to swim or create waves by sliding down the back of the tub.

Ah, tub-swimming! I remember it fondly.

I love you people, I mean it I really love you all. The extent to which we take these threads is so awesome. Everytime I log on I find something to smile about.

Thank you, dear internet, I shall never be bored again!!

Are the 2 mutually exclusive? LOL!!! We love mythbusters AND DWTS in our house. (and I bet others of you here do too - you just don't want to admit it!!!)

You know me--I hide nothing! I'm a huge fan of both.

Though I just didn't like the group last season. No old 80s star for me to root for, so I didn't watch that one at all.

I've barely missed a single show in the other seasons though!

Woo hoo Kriston!!!! I KNEW someone else had to be out there!! I haven't missed a single show myself!

I like that it's positive and it shows people taking a chance and learning a new skill.

I never liked the nastiness of American Idol, so I watched about 2 minutes of it to see what all the hype was about and never watched again. Too mean-spirited.

But the DWTS judges really want to help the dancers improve. I think it's a good lesson in taking risks and banning perfectionism.

Plus I like to laugh at the crap music choices.

I just found this thread and would like to add that we watch both shows in our home too.

Questions,
My DS loved to read �The Worst Case Scenario Handbook� when he was 7-8! I couldn�t find it just now in his room, but it gives very detailed instructions for best survival odds in various situations. Your DS would probably love it too.

Oooh! My DH would like that, I suspect. Though I've been recently accused of not being an optimist, DH is the real pessimist in our household. He'd love reading about how to survive doom and gloom!

<grin>

Thanks, delbows!

delbows, thanks, I'll take a look (to make sure it's not too scary, even though it gives solutions). DS's comment when I shared the asnwers here was "then, Mommy, you should travel with a parachute." Good advice. btw, he did see that episode of Mythbusters.
