While Typepad and Explorer work out their communication problems, I've changed the feed so that you can view entire posts in Google Reader or Bloglines if you've subscribed there. Also, I'm told that there's no problem loading and reading the entire site with Firefox. It's just an Explorer problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.
UPDATE: No trouble with Safari either. (We should all have Macs. Wah; I want a Mac.)
...I wish I could see the inside of these houses through Anna's lens? Many, many thanks to Anna for her "word pictures." Sigh. I wish it so much!
There are some photos here, but somehow, I think Anna would have captured it better.
Now is the time to look very closely at candidates. We areat a turning point in history when it comes to abortion and euthanasia. The voters who decide the next president and Senate will also decide the makeup of the Supreme Court and federal judiciary for generations.
An especially telling difference exists between Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and John McCain, R-Ariz.
How each perceives and talks about unplanned children is extremely illuminating. McCain is living the joy of his real-life response to a “surprise child.” Obama, missing the mystery and blessing, sees only a burden.
You may remember from a few weeks ago, Obama’s answer to a
question at a town hall meeting regarding HIV and STDs: He said, “Look, I got
two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first
about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished
with a baby” Read the rest here.
...for planning my next birthday party for me! Perfect. So perfect. Seriously, this woman has a second life ahead of her as a caterer when all her children are grown.
We live in a teeny-tiny town. For a long time, the absolute only "restaurant" in town was Subway. Then, there was another restaurant. It, too, was Subway. I will never figure that one out. Now, we have a plethora of restaurants. We don't need Subway. And it's a good thing too, because Subway is no friend to homeschoolers.

UPDATE: Lorri sent me this explanation from Subway:
"Regarding your concerns about the Subway contest that excludes home
schools from contest eligibility, Scholastic and Subway apologize to
all individuals who have taken offense at this. Our intention was
never to make independent schooled children feel discriminated
against or excluded from this specific promotion.
Throughout the course of the year Scholastic runs a number of
contests and sweepstakes that are open to all teachers and students.
The eligibility of this contest in particular was solely put in place
to award a large group of children with the grand prize of $5,000
worth of athletic equipment. We do however understand how home-
schooled children could benefit from this type of prizing and will
make sure eligibility is open to everyone in future promotions.
We appreciate your feedback and will make sure a similar situation
does not happen in the future.
If anyone has any additional comments to make regarding this contest,
please email Scholastic directly at P&Cconnects@scholastic.com and we
will respond promptly to your concerns. Other email addresses or
phone numbers shown in this blog will not reach individuals who are
equipped to help you. Again, please direct all comments/inquiries to
P&Cconnects@scholastic.com and we would be more than happy to speak
with you regarding this.
Thank you!"
