It's warm but rainy! After today the next week or so should be good!

Hey, as long as it is warm and not lightning the pool is still an option right!?!

The problem is the rumblies are coming with the rain today At least the boys are nice and quiet. They're plotting on how the ones who don't live here are going to sneak on vacation with us next summer.

Funny! Are they going to sneak them into suitcases? Often my niece visits us before we go on vacation and she says she wants to go with, one time she put herself in my suitcase to show me she would fit!

What size is your suitcase?

Yes, if we get rain, it almost always comes with those thunder boomers.

Big enough to fit a 6 year old at the time! She is 10 now, I don't think she would fit anymore.

That's odd. Why no Honors classes after sophomore year?

The reasoning is because they have AP. I know, it doesn't make sense. I am guessing that some how they come ahead in the budget.

 

[MouseDreaming]

Ahhh, I understand @Goofyernmost. What does that say about me? I will be following you and my other mentor @MR FERRET for ever. I bow to the great Gods of the internet.

Please, don't feed the ego.

 

[betty rose]

Good morning, @MouseDreaming.

 

[betty rose]

Please, don't feed the ego.

I know, I just couldn't resist.

Almost like you were compelled to

All powerful, and great one. Would you compel my husband to need a trip to Disney?

Am still trying to compell Disney to give me a free trip but it's like they have made a deal with the other side

I've gone to the dark side, for coffee...perhaps it's not a stretch to go to "that" side for my Disney fix.

Good morning, @MouseDreaming.

Good morning, almost afternoon!

time to get a decent sized monitor with a dolby DTS capable cinema sound system?

Part of going to the theatre is the social factor.
For years, it was me and the kids.
Lately, it's been with my niece and nephew, or with Auntie, or with BFF/SIL.

As soon as a new movie comes out, I know exactly who will be calling me, depending on the movie.

English I think really depends on the teacher. I had a really easy senior year English class. Really, we did basically nothing the second half of the year. I think I had a 99.9 in it. I still got a four on the AP in spite of doing very little. That being said, your son could probably take and do well on the AP English exams with little more than a review book. They are based more upon what you've learned all four years of high school, not just your senior year. The honors English classes (at my school, it was standard, honors, and GT, Gifted and Talented, for English the first two years, then GT dropped off and it was AP. AP and GT classes were worth the same amount as a weighted GPA) were often just as much, if not more, work than AP. Especially senior year.

I would be pretty worried about AP stat. I mean, he's obviously good at math, but when I was in high school, everyone complained about stat. They made that exam even worse a few years ago. And I took it in college...and complained the entire way through. Those who knew me and were on this thread remember.

Yeah, his English teacher really burned him out, last year. That particular teacher has a reputation at the school, and an awful lot of kids will just drop the class when they find out they have him. My son found out that the Speech class he teaches is actually more of the part of last year's class that he enjoyed, so another semester with him. And it will be 2nd semester. Stats, he isn't particularly worried about, but he made it through B/C calc without much effort (I do not know where the math skills come from. This was used as a weed out class for my Big 10 College), and rumor is, stats is what you take for a break. Otherwise, they offer a class through Uof I in multivariable calc.

Good afternoon almost evening

Hope you had a good day, and are unwinding a bit, @MR FERRET .

So, when I first saw the pic, and the string of pearls idea, I was thinking of how the pearls tie in with a slang term for how someone might off someone. ( I know I am being obtuse. I am cake walking on a family site, here). And, I thought that doesn't really fit with HM. But you bring Connie's neckalces, and now I get it. By the way, very traditional wedding present, back in the day, so it really just advertises that Connie had been around the block a few times. I kinda like it.
