Turns out my grade 4 child was reading at a grade 9 level and capable of grade 8 mathamatics. Did I want to skip him? No thank you... he's just fine... lol And my son, who was behind level in reading and math when he left, was just above level for math and reading at the college level at the start ...

Those are some scary kids. My son was homeschooled for a few years, in part to preserve his liberality (he's been in school since the beginning of 8th) but mostly because the current view of preteen boiys is that they need to be drugged. Now in High School, there are a few other homeschooled kids (y...

Now it's Wright's The Golden Age. I've been in a pain induced state of Narcoticolepsy (that's when you have bouts of narcotic use, roffle) for the past few days, due to an acute strep infection of the right maxillary sinus.

The five kittens (three tigers, two brown one orange and black, a solid black and a solid gray) were being hand fed, and we had a lactating mother, so we figured w...

http://home.att.net/~ladykaat/IMG_0027.JPG When we adopted Molly, we had only Sebastian and Socrates. One of Molly's kittens was nearly identical to Socrates, from a spot on the left side of her nose to an assymetric blaze on her tuxedo face. The kitten liked to walk up to people and demand a belly...

Socrates, with part of my blue Santa collection, when I moved to Buffalo, she was the ONLY cat I had.... she's now nearly 15 pounds. Socs is, perhaps, the cleverest cat I've ever known, and is NOT a TAME kitty.

Sebastian. Maine Coon, age 18. Adopted at age 13 when his owner passed away. The Landlady, owning about 10 cats at the time, couldn't take in the shaggy declawed mass, and I only had Socrates, at that time 6 lbs....
