Same here. I probably won't mention it to their schools until after thanksgiving. :rolleyes1

Let's play some Jimmy Buffett and have some drinks with little umbrellas.
That is the best idea I heard all day!

I just added Dody's milestone to the site & was surprised by what I saw.

The thread started on 11/25/04.
10000 8/2/06
20000 9/4/06
30000 10/1/06

Here it is 10/16 and we just posted 38000!!!

8100 posts in 15 days = 540 posts per day.
15 more days to October x 540 = another 8100 posts so to 46200 by 10/31/06.
30 days in November x 540 = 16200 > 62400 by 11/30/06.
Even stopping on 12/6 for travel for most of us that is another 3240 posts.

Potential of reaching 65640 by cruise time!!!! :cool1:
Well Lisa - we will do our best!!!!
 
brack said:
These calculations are based on a linear progression but I'm betting that the posting is going to increase exponentially like it has so far. We could reach 100,000 before we sail!

That is cool....I like the way you think Brack!

She sounds like she is really trying. That is so cool!!

Now I need to talk to DD's teacher. Somehow I don't think that will be important to her at the moment.

Congrats on the personal milestone!!! yippee...Brack hit 2000!!!!

I just got an email from DS's teacher asking about the cruise. She is brainstorming to put together an independant study for him!!! :)
That is cool. It seems like she really cares about your DS.

lots of anxiety over the weekend but the teachers received an 11th hour contract last night after 3 years without one - and we were all in school today.

That is wonderful. You must be so relieved!

OMG - the round yellow guy is so diving not falling!

Very funny, John. I will have you know that over the summer I went to a lake, walked on a pier (with a camera in hand) and did not, I repeat did not fall in at all. I was pretty nervous though. ;)

Oh, yeah, check out my new tag. :lmao:

Lisa - if we can collect anything for DS at that "other" ruins tour on Costa Maya - please let me know. Not sure what his independent study will entail.
I believe the 2 sites should be quite different.

Thanks! I am thinking that we should have enough education opps to mix in with the regular work. I included the tour with interactive ruins time, visiting the village school to donate and observe, stingrays at CC, catameran at CC with history of island, possible research for Cozumel since we have nothing planned there, plotting our group's location on a map to note the States figuring distance traveled to reach the port & find out who is going the greatest & shortest distance, interactions with CMs to find out about where they are from, and ask the Captain a few questions. Of course, I could also include something about budgeting for the trip or gas milage on our way to the port. He is learning how to use a calculator (they have to use one for the EOG tests in 3rd grade) so he could figure that kind of stuff out. He can do the math work before the cruise either before we leave or on the trip down to get it over with. I want him to keep a journal this trip too. He really liked having one last year.

They are in my town this week. They are six blocks away right now!

Oh my gosh i would be there every day. Did you make cookies and take them over to them, you might get on TV as the nice neighbor!!

Bricks for a walkway at their new home.
Depending on how old the home is door knobs can be taken and attached to wood to make hooks.

That is such a cool idea, Amy! :thumbsup2
 
lillygator said:
hmm....mother's ring or diamonds? I'll take diamonds.


Samantha's is Opal, Haley's is Amethyst - love that one! My grandma had huge superstitions about opal's, can't remember what exactly....but instead of opal they now do some pink thing which I don't care for.....and my birthstone = yuck! topaz/citrine....

I don't have lots of jewels....but diamonds, dark blue (black) sapphires and tanzanite are my favorites.

If opals aren't your birthstone they are supposed to be bad luck!

She is the best! :thumbsup2 She is just as concerned as I am about him learning and being challenged. She is on the AG team for the county schools...so knows her stuff about what these kids need. That is the only reason I am confident that DS will be taken care this year.
