Gud, could you at least get your daughter into Sunday School classes for the socialization?
That is certainly a possibility. Our church is not real close so unstructured play time with the kids there might be a bit tougher, but it still would be a big help. My wife has talked about it, but so far the logistics have been a problem. If we do continue to homeschool, this will have to happen. I don't have a lot of interest in doing Sunday School at church myself (I already go to church services and am in a chruch group which is probably more than most atheists do). But I can easily hang around and read instead. It would be kinda odd right now since one of the things I'm reading is the Koran, but there are other books I could take.
What about Girl Scouts, or I guess Brownies. I dropped out as a kid, but the Girl Scouts are a really cool organization and not at all like the Boy Scouts.

I dunno - it looks like what might happen if Hello Kitty dropped acid in a Bedazzle factory.

That is a great idea, I can't believe I hadn't even thought about it. We've tried to get her interested in sports or dance/martial arts/other classes with little success. I wonder if we could sell that better.

And where you're at, Gud, you should have a local 4-H group in your area. Your daughter might be a bit young for that right now, but by the time she's 10, she'll fit right in. 4-H isn't all cows and pigs, either--our group only had one family that did livestock, and the rest of us were into everything from electrical projects (I went to State Fair on mine!) to sewing (my sister went State Fair on hers!) and various other things. The meeting were also fun and very socially interesting. Kris and I belonged for at least five years.

I have a birthday coming up. Do I need this? It's kinda fugly, and yet...
4-H is already on our list of things to look into. That's a good idea too.

The spaceship so needs to be repainted.
Thanks for letting me talk about it and some good information and ideas. I've got to slow down the posting though. I'm taking up too much time at the moment.
