Daisy Jane, I read that article last week. I know someone in TX that is an Unschooler. I think the article was pretty open minded about the whole thing but I'd be freaking out if I ran into a 14 year old that couldn't read.

Apparently, the rules are so loose in Texas that just about anything goes in regard to homeschooling. Which I guess is fine, if you're actually going to teach your kids something. But that leaves it so open that people could just set their kids loose and not teach them anything and that would be legal, too. Which is scary.

Ever been to the rural south?

Paul was homeschooled after they moved back to the States, in part because the schools where they were living were both bad and far away.

However, this means there are GAPING HOLES in his cultural knowledge base, and thus he fails to get a number of my jokes.

From this, I conclude that homeschooling is TEH EVIL, and should not be allowed without a minimum daily allowance of cable television.

Why can I not find a trailer for this [link] ? It says it's in theaters in December, so wouldn't you think a little promotion would be in order?

L&O just opened with a kid doing krav. Cool!

Oh, and then kids getting shot. Not quite as cool.

But not the krav girl.

See? It works!

Gus, if I wished I were as cute as you, it'd mean I didn't think you were that cute. For the record. Cute's not on my wishlist. I'm already cuter than I need to be.

Ack! Someone remind me to stay far away from the imdb message boards! Remember "Beer Bad" when cave!coeds are sitting around the table all "You stupid!" "No! You stupid!" I have just read that sceene line for line on the boards for All the King's Men.

Gawd, I lurves arguing with ita. It never has an ending, and she always wins, some-how.

Stamina.

It's a gift.

Back from the nutritionist. Homeboy is more woo-woo than I can stand. I made another appointment, because I was in the migraine/concussion/whatever haze, but I may very well cancel it soon. I mean, he looked into my irises and told me I had too much sodium in my body. Sure, if I don't excrete it ever, or am taking it in suppository form. And I don't see how I can cut out the things he wants me to cut out without losing weight.

If I'm the first woman he's ever met who's wanted to gain weight, perhaps I'm not his normal clientele.

A-ha!

Winning is important to ita. Methinks it is a krav thing.

I liked my nutritionist. Mine was a nice girl who basically schooled me on portion sizes and went over dietary choices for my gestational diabetes. She taught me more in a half an hour appointment than I expected.

She didn't look into my eyes and tell me I was taking in too much sodium, though. That sounds kind of freaky.
