Thanks, @dswigle! Although we're in the same time crunch and you obviously understand me, I must apologize for the delay.
I love your love/hate relationship with your city... it's the same as it is with me. I understand your sorrow for what happened there, I was also very upset, even though I am thousands of miles away. Something happened that shouldn't have happened..., for me it's a picture of what will be in the future. It reminds me of what history used to tell us, about barbarian attacks on the evolved civilizations of the Greeks, the Romans. Unfortunately, they too had reached a decadence that only hastened their collapse.
About homeschooling, I didn't know but probably I didn't read those posts where you probably mentioned it. I find it very interesting but also hard to do.
The fact that you didn't put a lot of photos is somehow in your style. When you have lots of words you don't, like me, need lots of photos!
Well, Denise, have a nice week!
Absolutely. I can remember being afraid to go to work. Taking the Metro. Parking the car and had to walk more than a block to get where I needed to be. Nobody should feel that terrorized. Yet, when you are confronting those that love you, it is the brave front to make them feel safe inside their own home. Diligent, but, safe.
I always felt safe growing up.
Homeschooling was hard for a while, especially sorting it into my already busy day, and they did go to regular school at times when it didn't work. So, I am not a cradle to graduation homeschooler. :) You know, I do things halfway.
Thank you, always, Dan! My week had been good until I listened to the news first thing this morning. :( God help those innocent people.
Why, why? I do the same...
Ha! No way!!!
It's considered one of my flaws and I admit that sometimes it upsets me too.
Do you know why it upsets me? I never impacted my life too much, doing things halfway. I started a quilt (like a bed covering with intricately patterned designs which you stitch together by hand) anyway, I started one for my grandmother, and eight years (or nine) into putting it aside, my grandmother passed. She never got to see it because I never finished it, just put it off and off.... halfway done. I was upset with myself for years! To this day, I never put those kinds of projects aside like that. Time is not our own, but, I let almost 9 years pass. :(
And that is why I get upset with myself when I do it. @bluemoon
