Buffy ,'Empty Places'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
omnis, I'm asking Lewis, who manages a Game Stop, and his suggestions are Brain Quest (this has 2 different games, one for 3-4th grade, the other for 5-6th, so you may have to look to see which would be more appropriate), Big Brain Academy, the My _________ Coach series, Brain Age, although it skews a little older.
If you need more suggestions, just let me know and I'll ask him.
omnis, I'm a big fan of Kakuro for encouraging number skills (and addition), and I see they've got something called Sudokuro (can't believe that site isn't blocked!) for the DS. Mind you, this is essentially a paper-and-pencil puzzle translated to the screen just for the sake of having it on the screen, but it might be worth a try.
(I have my drafting classes do Kakuro now, since they at least need to be able to add quickly.)
Frank, much ~ma for your SiL and her little brother and family.
Much ~ma to your SiL's whole family, Frankenbuddha. Fuck cancer.
Frank, ~ma to your SiL and the rest of the family. I'm so sorry.
Thanks, everyone. It's just so unexpected and horribly sad. There's nothing to be done but wait, basically. My brother and SiL are going down to FL for Xmas with to be with the rest of her family, and while I'm sure they will be glad to be with him, it's also just a wretched way to spend the holidays.
Apart from the lack of any twins, this family could have been the model for the Weasely's - all the kids have bright red hair.
Yeah, fuck cancer in the ear, that's for sure.
Judas as the first vampire
Dracula 2000, baybee!
Frank, much ~ma to your SiL's family and her brother in particular. I'm all aboard with the fuck cancer train.
Fuck cancer, indeed. While I respect the decision to not be treated, there are a lot of things that slow the progression of cancers, and my theory is alive is good. Cancer is a trickster.
I just took the dog in for his shots and checkup. That's enough work for one day, right? I really liked the new vet. Mr Peabody has gained four pounds, which is a good thing for him. Unfortunately, there's one thing going on which is going to require more money. Sigh.
I'm so sorry, Frank. All my ~ma to your family.
Thanks for the congrats, peeps. I still can't quite believe I'm done.
