I’m UPSET!!
Back in January we pulled a tick off Brutus.
When we went to the vet back in January—-Animal Haven (cause so many folks on my local HS loop raved about them and how they were all Christians, and how wonderful they were with their dogs) I mentioned that I had pulled [...]

Dilemma — What to do with Brutus while we are in Kansas?  When we got Brutus in January I knew that we did not have any trips in the works that would take us anywhere away from him for YEARS.  I knew that our vacation to NY state would include Brutus and that there [...]

We had our De State Science Olympiad Competition today —-
ScienceKid took a First in Storm the Castle;
2nd in Rocks & Minerals
8th in Mission Possible (would have taken first but the table was shaky and that caused several machines to prematurely fire)
10th in Heredity
?? in Food Science
He’s really annoyed by his Food Science and Heredity results, [...]

We are in those final preparation stages for tomorrow’s DE State Science Olympiad Competition. ScienceKid has prepared for; Storm the Castle (below photo),
Rocks & Minerals, Heredity, Food Science, and Mission Possible.  Five events.  FIVE!!!  Here’s a picture way back when of SK and his partner building a part for their [...]

The last month-and-a-half have been hard on me, laid up with this knee injury, but it also helped me realize how much I need exercise in my life. Without exercise I turn to food, which has made my waist-size much larger. When I couldn’t walk, or clean the house, or do the [...]

I had my knee surgery this morning —- in at 9:40, back to recovery at 10:15, headed home at 11:35, and home by 12:15. The operation was uneventful, we have pictures too, and the Dr took care of some other “disease” that was in there too while everything was open. [...]

One fine day,… well, I actually think I was sick, I came across a hs’ing forum website.  It was fun to explore and read the posts, and I posted there for awhile. But as life is busy I forgot to visit it for months on end until recently.  See, I have been spending quite a [...]

Fox Philly News this morning had a segment on whether light spanking was OK or not. They’re running a poll — located down the page on the right side:

Yes, even a light spanking is NOT an acceptable form of discipline. 

ScienceKid is in crunch time, with just 10 days until State Science Olympiad competition here in Delaware. He’s busy collecting data for his Storm the Castle device, making final modifications to his Mission Possible device — neither of which he did on his own, and I do want to acknowledge that his partners have [...]

So the MRI showed that I have a torn post-horn medial meniscus and I quickly got in to see the Orthopaedic Dr on Wednesday.  Moving this week has been painful so I have kept it to a minimal.  The Dr said that I need to have arthroscopic surgery to remove the torn portion before [...]
