UO Thursday!
Re: UO Thursday!
I don't like Ted's. Their queso is nasty.
For some reason, I can't get the smileys to work when I use Chrome, but *this is my shocked face*! Ted's queso is one of my favoritest things ever. I guess we had to disagree sometime. ;-)
I don't like Ted's either - yuck yuck yuck!
ITA (except for the part about religion, of course. =P). DD is 11 and in the 5th grade and we are about to do sex ed. with her. We got this great book that gives age appropriate information about sex. There is another book in the series that we will use with her in a few years.
I have to agree with this. I find many more people in my actual real life to be far more annoying than JB. He seems like a hardworking kid. Good for him.
I still love N'sync
This! And I also have a Hanson album on my Ipod that I listen to every once in awhile. It just takes me back to Jr. High and I love it.
I have tickets to see NKOTBSB this summer. I'm super-excited. Still love N Sync, too.
Oh, I still love me some N Sync. And Brit-Brit.
DH is out of town for the weekend. While I'll miss him, I'm also super excited to eat food that only I like (hello, homemade veggie burgers!), hang out with my friends, and watch all of the trashy TV shows that I love and he hates.
While we DEFINITELY have a relationship based on equality, for some reason I feel the same kind of excitement that I did when my parents would go out of town when I was a teenager!
Don't even get me started on *N Sync. If they were to EVER get back together and go on tour, I'd probably fall out.
I agree with the whole sex ed thing. I was a part of an abstinence education group in high school, and that ish totally didn't work. I think I would've been smarter about sex if my mom had just told me, "Look, sex is out there, let's talk about it" instead of "If you have sex before marriage, I'll kill you." [which, she almost did kill me after she found out I was pregnant] We will teach our kids sex ed and not just straight-up abstinence.
I really can't stand most reality TV shows. The Bachelor/Bachelorette are at the top of that list - I just never got into them and think they're annoying. Which still makes me wonder why the heck I watch Jersey Shore.
I would love to have your recipe for these. Based on my understanding of the way you cook, it might be a little complicated for me, but I'm trying to find one that doesn't so much involve me getting burned with hot oil.
I have another one. Not really an UO but nevertheless.
I think you are an awful parent if you put your young child on a reality show. The only ones I can excuse is the Home Makeover and the new one on Lifetime about father's surprising their children when they come home from war.
I thought of one. About six months or so ago, I was looking to find a Bible for DD that was at her reading level. At the time, I believed she considered herself a Christian, and I wanted her to understand what that really meant. (She has since decided that she doesn't know what she believes.) I never did find one, though.
The UO is, now that I am reading the Bible, I am glad that I didn't find one. I don't want her to read the Bible until she is older, not because I am concerned about whether or not she will believe it, but because there is some really messed up stuff in there that is certainly not appropriate for children.
I agree. When Ted's opened in Tulsa I was so excited to try it because I'd heard great things about the one in OKC, but it's gross.
I remember having a children's bible when I was younger. There were somethings that were sugar coated for younger kids. I agree that there are subjects in the Bible that children just will not understand or need to.
I know you're not buying her one, now, but if you want one that is extremely easy to read and understand, go with the New Living Translation.
My parents got my siblings and I new Bibles for Christmas (I haven't had a new one in at least 10 years) and this is the version that I got. I flipped through it and it reads like a book... it's so easy to read.
I always correct students when they say they "don't believe in" something, when they mean they disagree with it. Always. Big, big difference.
Each of the kids has a Storybook Bible that they were given by my ILs. It is WAY below DD's level. I never found anything that was between it and the full-blown Bible. It still has a couple of stories that I think are weird for kids, though, like the one about Abraham being told to sacrifice Isaac.
This is the version that I am reading. The blog I'm following is doing the King James, but the NLT is SO much easier to understand. I am reading it online on a site that has several different translations, so if I'm curious about what the actual words were (to the best of our knowledge through translations), I switch to the KJV and you can see notes about what the possible translations are of the Hebrew words.
*Blush* I'm pretty sure I am guilty of this one. As in, I'm sure I've been known to say, "I don't believe in the death penalty." I'll have to watch myself on that.
I'm really, really considering getting eye lash extensions. The girl put a couple of test lashes on the corners of my eyes today after I had my pedicure, and I'm already in love.
That would bring my monthly maintenance fee up A LOT. H might leave me.
I agree that abstinence-only education does not work.
I don't like Ted's or Jo's Pizza. I don't care about ever making it to Eischen's or Pop's.
There are very few school districts in this state that I would want my child to enroll in.
We all have our weird speech things. I'm really bad about ending sentences in prepositions when I speak (e.g., "Where is the bathroom at?") My coauthor (who has an MA in English from Brown) can't figure out singular and plural verbs to save her life when it comes to collective nouns. Last night, I asked my very bright RA, "Why do you hate the apostrophe, Sam? What has it ever done to you?"
If this is the worst of our grammatical sins, I think we're all doing pretty well...or are we doing pretty good?
Well dang. I just realized one of my UO's ended with a preposition.
I just have issues with certain grammar, spelling, and punctuation things. I always sound like such a snob whenever I say that about myself, here and IRL. But, as Popeye would say, "I (y)am what I (y)am."
