How to set the table
How to navigate a fancy set table (multiple forks, etc)
Our family gets a ridiculous amount of satisfaction from looking at the table setting competition every year at the state fair.

50 years ago it was popular because of the woman who played Romeo and Juliet in the movie. 30 years ago it was because of Newton-John.
What happened 15 years ago?
I take that back - I had an issue buying tampons once, but it was after the fact. BECAUSE IT MEANT SUKIE AND I WEREN'T IN THE STRAWBERRY FIELDS GROUP PICTURE.

Sports is a great learning tool for work ethic, working as a group, being supportive of others, how to lose/win with grace, preparation/planning etc. but I think what's most important is for the parent to put it all in perspective. Like anything else it's a process. I always tell James "We don't lose. We win or we learn and it's not all about winning."
I, on the other hand, was the complete opposite as a kid. I HATED to lose. My dad always reminds me that I yelled at him once when he was congratulating me on second place, "SECOND PLACE IS FIRST LOSER!"
I was a little over the top competitive.

I am wearing socks this morning, but only because I got a little blister from my new slippahs yesterday.

I was wondering if you were going to rant about that. :biglaugh:
Me too but I didn't want to sound pervy. She was only 15 when that was filmed.
Bha Ha Ha Ha.
If I remember right the original purpose of the trip to the store was to buy your vile fake syrup. My tampons were just an add on.

There was a discussion in the history forum the other day about home-schooling. One person said they could always tell which kids on his team were home-schooled. He said they had a tough time being team players. After I heard that, I thought about Matt's soccer team, one of his buddies was home-schooled until that year and he did not do well on the team. He was always seemingly trying to re-invent the game (by tripping people).

I have been wearing Telic slippahs. I tried Oofos - Damon highly recommended them (and made me put my foot in his a couple years ago). Much squishier than the Telics but the sizing is weird for my foot - I think the toe post sits too far back for my foot, so a pair that puts my toes in the right place has my heels hanging over the back and to have my heels in the right place means the toes are WAY too long. I gave mine to Ben - he loves them.
Telics are the same idea as the Oofos - squishy foam flip flops - but they fit my feet better. Or they did. I asked for a second pair for my birthday and they were way different - and no longer made in the US. I contacted the company but they assured me that when they sent some of their production overseas (to meet demand) they sent the exact molds used at the US plant. No way - the newer ones are way smaller and just fit differently than the old ones. I'm bummed - I love my neon green ones but wanted something a little more subtle.
i'm sorry that i haven't been around, but life has thrown me a curve ball.
I'm posting from my hospital bed in lakeland, florida, where i've been since thursday. It's been crazy. I'll try to make a long story short.
After multiple x-rays, cts, mris, ultrasounds and exams, the unconfirmed consensus is that i have lymphoma. More tests over the weekend, including bone scans, brain mri and chest ct, and then a ct guided biopsy on monday.
Hopefully, pathology will come back tuesday with a confirmed diagnosis. Then i'll do bone marrow samples, have a chest port put in place, and start six months of chemo and radiation treatments.
I'm doing as well as can be expected, under the circumstances.
Oops. Gotta go for another test. I-'ll check back later....
what the hell. Worst catchup ever.
