  1. I had my wisdom pulled while I was in the army, all six of them. Yeah, I had an extra pair on the top. This was in '04 I think and my lower lip from the center of it to the left corner of my mouth still has limited feeling, like it's half asleep. It's annoying as all get out.

  2. Different daycare are... different. Goddard has a stated lesson plan, it's not simply "baby storage". Goddard did such a good job teaching my boy that in our first 1st grade teacher conference we were given 2nd grade reading/math text books for him to work on instead.

    Some places take your money and sorta promise your kid won't be dead when you arrive after work. Those places are what I call "Baby Storage". Some places have a structure and a lesson plan and are much better.

    My boy always thrived at his daycare.

    Absolutely. My point was that just because it's private doesn't mean it's not as good as a public place. It goes both ways.

  3. This is what happens when you pump billions of dollars into the economy. Hyperinflation is going to suck. But hey, it'll fix the housing market.

    At least we got all those junk cars off the roads and got people into cars they can't afford in the first place.

  4. Probably because there wasn't as much evidence.

    I think the lesson here is not to send your kids to the lady running a daycare out of her apartment.

    We used to have my daughter in one of those "professional" daycares. Insane prices and every time we went in there, she looked so sad. This was when she was crawling a little bit and she was always left in the crib with just her blanket, no toys or anything, or she'd be in one of the swings. I felt bad for her because she was just left in a corner by herself.

    Now a woman that goes to our church watches her and a few other kids. It's much cheaper and my daughter's brain is stimulated. She does all kinds of activities and has a lot of fun there. So much better for everyone.

  5. An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

    An hour later, he went to the door, and I let

    him out..

    The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

    Curious I pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

    The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 He's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'
