Our poor kitty has had bleeding from his nose twice in the last two days.and a $300+ vet visit today will likely only tell us what's wrong. Hoping it's just something the antibiotics can fix. My older boy is quite attached and now old enough to be really sad if it's terminal. He's already struggled getting used to the new baby this week.
and poor big kitty. Hopefully the antibiotics help
That is a rotten deal for one so young. Prayers for her and all of you.

Yeah, but more retail-ish. So, even us city people can go in and find cool stuff we'd like too.
I didn't think shane was city. Hawkie makes cowpatty sound outback
Cowpatty is outback!
I've never even been inside one before. The surrounding towns have something called Orschelns, which is what I picture a Tractor Supply being. We're smaller so have just had to drive to shop(or order online). The only current chain retail establishment we have is a Dollar General. The rest are like mom and pop stuff. We have one bar, that struggles. Somehow we have multiple dental offices. Strange place.
No doc but I am going to be just fine. Your fall was epic with those darn stairs involved! Feel better this a.m. after taking a muscle relaxant last night. By Monday, I will be back to normal.
hope these work out as well as I hope...

facebook has been taken over by school level maths, i'm sure steph could plan her year worth of curriculum with an hour on facebook
I'm jealous of all y'all hispanic connections. It is hard just to find mexican chilli powder here. But Asia is so close we have plenty
Lol.Core curriculum stuff is confusing to say the least. It seems to be all about the "process" . . .. .
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. I was good in math but this? Would really like someone to explain it to me.\

4 little squares make 1 big square = 5 squares
Homeschooling continues to look more appealing. These new methods are guaranteed to make sure only those in the elite's schools (not common core) will come out with the math skills to do advanced mathematical work. Kids need to learn how to do math in their heads if they are to grasp calculus, trig, etc. I'm so frustrated with the dumbing down of the population. :/
Is this what common core is like? It was an adult shared it on Facebook, which seems to be big now. In place of kittehs
I took a college course in Experimental Math, which included some cool visual methods, and I loved it. But I've read a bit about common core and seen quite a few parents post their kids assignments having to use some of these techniques. I'm not against them being part of it, but I've seen time and time again where kids are being marked incorrect and failing tests because they use the math process we grew up with instead of drawing pictures to solve the problem. The traditional ways aren't even touched on from what I'm seeing.
That's what bugs me most. Kids failing assignments and tests because "their parents taught them the wrong method" even if the end result is the same. Maybe if they made it easier to learn we as parents wouldn't have to be the teacher anyway. Instead they spend 90% of the year just preparing for standardized tests.
OK. Got it and thank you. It's not so hard if I would just let myself see the patterns.
I don't hear a lot of praise for the program. All the grands are basically grown so I don't have any personal experience. It has me very curious. I really need to learn more in order to have an informed decision.
It's so messed up how they bribed schools to adopt it and not say anything about it. Not that they don't handle very thing else that way now days as well :/
We will seek out any alternative school we need to, so to avoid it. SLC is pretty big, but the Mormons just love trusting big government, corporations, and big pharma, so it can be tricky to get away from mainstream here.
