I think 3rd grade was the last year we got away with it. They're just too savvy & hear it all in

I'd let her out if she wants. No reason she HAS to take a 12th grade course in 9th grade.

My teachers did this from 1st grade through 12th grade. nm

Not a 3rd grade class. A 1st grade, yes.

Geez...nm
There she goes again...geez. NM

Oh Please, Sorry I said anything. GEEZ
That was so long ago. So, you wish he did not survive? How do you know what Mary Jo's family is thinking anyway?
geez
It's a rolling pin, not the crown jewels. Honestly, and sorry if this comes across as mean, but you sound a little selfish to me. I just don't get that you're upset about someone borrowing something like that. There's enough crappola going on in the world today that you shouldn't get your knickers twisted in a knot of something so petty. Jeez.
Geez!
You don't have to be such a downer about it. I guess you have never lost a child. You might change your opinion if you had. To have one more chance with my daughter would be beyond words.
geez
Give this poor woman a break. She does not need QA for goodness sake right now. Hope you day goes better tomorrow whom ever you are!
Geez, don't be so rough on each other here...sm
it's just a TV program. If you don't like what you see, don't watch it! Or even better, get a hobby or something that doesn't include so much TV!!
Geez, sorry I posted this...(OP)
Can't even share a bit of someone's good fortune without being flamed...whatta shame! 
it was just an exaggeration geez
I still stand by, when i use my debit or credit card it's no less time than writing a check. "was the checker friendly today" "is this amount okay" "please sign here" or "do you want cash back" and then the final OKAY. And most people I see writing checks are elderly people, so I don't blame them. If you are in that much of a hurry then go at a time when there's NOT gonna be a line. geesh
Geez, how frustrating! sm
It may sound snotty, but I switched eye doctors just because the receptionists ignored me standing at the desk, but doting on the male that walked in the door behind me. No way I would put up with what you did UNLESS he/she was an exceptional doctor. If you really like this Dr., then always get the day's first appointment. If you can, check out other places to compare. I went to 3 dentists before deciding the first one was the best for me. Sorry you had such a rough experience. The guy you went to needs a partner, and I don't' mean an intern.
Geez, again, GET A FREAKIN LIFE!

Oops, cont. from above.... But they do. Geez.

Geez is right and AnonMTis wrong.nm

Geez. I've never seen that price.
We have a produce store right down the street. They sell dairy, meats, breads, snacks, canned good, but the produce is what I go for.
Bananas are usually 3 lb. for $1, red peppers in the winter are 2 for $1, green 3 and sometimes 4 for $1, packaged radishes 3 bags for $1, lemons and limes 6 for $1, apples are $1 a basket, and globe tomatoes are 2 pints for $1. Fresh white mushrooms are 99 cents a pound and portabellos are $1.99 a pound (expensive in my eyes but fresh). cukes 4 for $1. They have fresh zuchini, egglant, yellow squash, yellow and orange peppers, asparagus, fresh herbs, you name it. Oh, they did up the price on lettuce and celery. They used to be 2 for $1 and now they're $1 a piece. They sell potatoes loose or by the basket, usually no more than $1.50. A 50 pound bag of red or white potatoes last week was $11.95.
They also sell bread at 2 loaves for $1.75. It used to be 2 loaves for $1.25.
I love this store but if I don't get there as soon as they open, I can't get in. It gets packed and there's not a parking spot to be found. Gee, wonder why?
oh geez - get a life! it was a joke
Geez Ella, get a grip
She didn't say her husband was a monster, just that he would not let her give a permanent home to yet another dog. Maybe you'd trade your husband for a stray pit bull, but a lot of us wouldn't.
Geez, it's gotten HOT today anybody have a pool???
Well, we just got back from getting pool supplies. This is our third summer, we used Baquacil the first 2 years, dh said we were switching to chlorine this year because it is so much cheaper! Anybody done this before, I wanted to keep the Baquacil because of the grandbabies, but was just wondering about the switching.. any & all info appreciated.. tia.. gina
Oh geez folks, light up...
it was funny!
Geez.. these aren't videos. You don't know so why comment?
These are images of real women and children, in Africa and in our country, some living in extreme poverty, some dying of AIDS and malaria. It's not just a video.
why is everyone so mean on a monday? geez, how would you like to be shut up in a house never to go
i had a dog get attacked and killed about a month ago by another dog in my own fenced back yard. never seen the attacker dog before in my life nor again since the incident. you can't always protect your pets just like you can't always protect your children, but yet you have to give them some freedom. would you lock your children up in the house never to go outdoors because of the violence? i think not. the OP has a valid point and her SIL is being extremely disrespectful and careless with her dogs.
to the OP, i would tell MIL that she is responsible for those dogs while they are in "her care" and to do whatever it takes to keep them off your property. you have the right to protect you home, your property, and your animals. i'd get a bb-gun and shoot them until they learned to stay out of your yard.
GEEZ, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing!
I really do appreciate this laugh! LOL
Well, geez, I knew what a vibrator was called!
geez. glad you guys are not MY judge and jury...sm
I will leave that to God to decide as to who is right and who is wrong. after 12 years, I would suggest moving on. It is over and done with. IF he did it, he will pay his dues. IF he did not do it, as he says, he will be redeemed. Case closed.
you use the word Geez and you put a frown face in post
nm
geez, see how nervous i am?? i can't even spell. i think i better quit working and go to sleep,

geez after reading all these posts I feel like I'm missing out on something good! LOL
I'm assuming you buy these toys online? 
1st grade for me
When did you stop believing is Santa? I was snooping for presents in 1st grade and found presents under my mom's bed to me from santa.
If you have kids old enough, when did they stop believing? My kid are 10 and 6 and still believe.
How did you/your kids find out? They already have friends who don't believe. I still get away with the tooth fairy as well.
How did you/they react to the truth? I was crushed.
If kids don't find out on their own, what age do you think they should be told? I think they all find out soon enough on their own. I'm not going to tell them.
when my son was in second grade
a couple of weeks before that, I noticed the school # was on my caller ID but there was no message. I asked my son if he may know why the school called. He got kind of quiet and told me that he had said something disrespectful to the teacher assistant so I thought maybe that was the reason. (I had him write a little note to the assistant, telling her he was sorry for showing disrespect but I definitely let him know I appreciated his honesty with me)..... ANYWAY..... I figured with parent/teacher conferences coming up, I would bring it up then. I mentioned there was a call, wasn't sure who it was from, as there was not a message..... that my son had told me about this particular incident, and though they said they didn't make the call, I mentioned if they ever had a problem to please contact me "it's not like I'm going to beat him" to which my son replied, "YES YOU DO MOMMY!"
The teacher, the assistant and I were all looking at each other like WHAT????? My son then went on to say "at Mario Bros"..... LOL.
I thought oh here we go, child protective services will be giving me a visit!! LOL.
When I was in the third grade
I broke my wrist and after surgery, I woke up in a room with a roommate that smoked. I can't even believe now that there was a time when it was okay to smoke in a hospital!
In second grade, she would have been 7 yrs old. Of course,
xx
I really was 6 - in the 1st grade. I already had a - (sm)
bully boy bothering me on the playground, and was standing there on that cold windy morning thinking that going to school with no underpants was just going to complicate things with him even further if he was around while I was doing flips on the monkey bars!
When the bus was only a few feet away, I suddenly ran in front of it (nearly got run over in the process), and ran back home. After a few minutes of banging on the front door, my mom (who'd been in the shower) let me in, and I completed my wardrobe, then ran back to the bus stop. Amazingly, the driver actually waited for me.
Kindergarten, yes. Third grade, no.

It depends on the grade of the oil
If you use high grade oil you can go a little longer, about 4000 or 5000 miles.
Low grade fever again
I am so tired of this....seems like every time I turn around, I am running a low grade fever (99.0 up to 99.3, my normal is around 97.6). The temperature itself would not be concerning, but I can tell by the way I feel, even before I take my temp, that it's running high.
I have allergies and develop sinusitis very easily. In the past couple of months, I have taken three rounds of antibiotics because of low grade fever accompanied by sinus symptoms (pain, pressure, yucky green phlegm, etc.). That's the first time I've taken antibiotics in ages - I have to be pretty desperate to take them, because I don't want to develop a resistance to them.
Now I've got the fever again but no sinus symptoms. Anybody have any clues what else it could be? I mean, I don't hurt anywhere, I don't have any symptoms except the fever. I know I need to go in and get a complete workup; in fact, I have one scheduled for September 5 (that's the earliest appointment my doctor had). I'm just sick of feeling lousy.
first grade party
Last year when my little girl was in first grade, they had a Teddy Bear tea party for the holidays. Each child could make an ornament or buy one to exchange as a gift. They could wear pj's and bring a teddy bear. Parents were invited. A sign up list for goodies was included. The teacher read stories, and they played music with musical chairs and pin the tail on the elf, I think. They had a lot of fun. The theme was nice too for the little ones, does not matter boy or girl they all like tea parties at that age. For my little boy in first grade, I just sent in cupcakes. I went to the dollar store and got them each a gift which the teacher wrapped and they took turns taking from a bag. Santa (her husband)made a surprise appearance, and once again she read stories to them while they had punch and cupcakes. The other teacher who shared the classroom gave out polar express tickets for the kids to hold at the party and later to take home. It was very cute and fun. Whatever you do have a great time. Happy Holidays
I skipped a grade
I went from kindergarten to 2nd grade when I was 6.
What did you want to know?
where I am they teach this class in 5th grade + up...

My daughter is in 3rd grade and still believes
and so do most of her classmates/friends! She has never questioned if Santa was real or not and I absolutely have no intention of telling her anytime soon. You obviously know nothing about MOST 3rd graders if you think that they don't belive in Santa!! Maybe I just live in a city where having an imagination and embracting childhood is still a good thing.
2nd grade valentine party.... sm
does anyone out there have some game ideas for a 2nd grade valentine's day party? i've tried looking some stuff up on the internet, but not having much luck. wondered if anyone out there has some good ideas.
TIA
Does first grade count? It meant so much to me - LOL
Doug kissed me in first grade and then ignored me forever after that.
Tilden in 5th grade - he picked me to be his square dancing partner.
Lyle in 6th grade - had all the makings of an abusive husband, but didn't realize it at the time.
Tilden again in 7th grade - didn't last too long.
Had a HUGE nonreciprocated crush on Dan in 9th grade.
Bill in 10th grade - he was a Sr. so got to go to prom.
Dumped him for Chuck not long after prom.
Met Tom at church camp that summer - long distance thing.
Tim when I was a junior, who introduced me to his friend, Jerre, who ended up being my husband till this day.
That was fun!
They guaranteed me a letter grade better
It is quite expensive though. But it was worth it in my household. Good luck!
FYI, dehydration will cause some to run low-grade temps. nm

Daughter's 7th grade dance
My 13-year-old daughter is having her 7th grade dance in a few weeks, and yes, they definitely go overboard. A friend's daughter went last year and she said the girls looked like they were going to a wedding. The sad thing was she was dressed very casually (they were told it was a Hawaiian theme if they didn't want to get all dressed up. When she got there she saw all the girls dressed to the nines and she started crying and didn't want to go in for fear of what the others would say. I thought that was just awful. There is a no limo rule, but there were some that broke that rule and the school did nothing about it. My daughter is getting a new dress, but she knows it's going to be a simple dress, one that she can wear more than just this one time. We're definitely not made of money and she knows it. She may not always like it, but she knows it.
Small children, in first grade and
3rd or 4th but I remember feeling so special when I was in a child about this age because I had diamond rings (not big, chip diamonds mostly) that my grandmother gave me, had several boxes of them and if I lost 1 I chose another. I am not talking about spending over 50$ apiece on these.
My daughter was diagnosed with ADD in 2nd grade
We took her to 3 different doctors who did a bunch of different tests and all three said without a doubt she has ADD (without hyperactivity). So, we put her on medication. The medication made her VERY cranky and she was a holy terror to live with!!! So, we went back to the doctor and he switched her medication. This medication made her mood better, but her appetite was virtually nonexistant. My husband and I read every book and website we could find on ADD to see if we could help our daughter. We ended up taking her off the medication and changed her diet, making sure she eats every 2-3 hours. We eat pretty healthy anyway, but we really have to make sure that we don't let her eat too many carbs or junk. She also has to eat pretty frequently to keep her attention span up. It has been 2 years now and she is doing great at home and at school. She just started a new school this year and this teacher is excellent at letting the kids have a healthy snack during class so the kids stay focused all day long.
In other words, before you even think about medication, I would monitor his diet and make sure that he's eating healthy and then make sure he's eating every 2-3 hours (if possible at school) and see if this helps.
When my son was in second grade he had behavior issues (sm)
I know many may not agree with me, but I believe positive reinforcement for good behavior and negative consequences for bad behavior works. Every week our school sends home a folder with the child's "grades" for the week in schoolwork and behavior, with 4 being the best (pretty much unattainable for my son!) 3 being good, 2 being so-so, and 1 being really bad. I put him on an allowance schedule with chores he had to do with a certain allowance each week. HOWEVER his grades in his folder would greatly influence this allowance. Gettings 3s would keep his allowance the same, getting a 2 automatically took off $2 (he never got a one but that would have taken his whole $5 allowance). If he ever got a 4 he would get an additional $2. This worked really really well for him, but all children are different. Good luck!
This happened to MY GIRL in 2nd grade . . . sm
actually, the girl threatened to stab her with her pencil. My daughter went to the teacher who was an old burned out substitute that day and the teacher told her to sit down and get to work, would not even listen to her. Needless to say I went ballistic. Of course, the girl who was threatening to stab my daugther was a problem child (they always are, who else would do this?). My daughter was moved away from this child and never sat next to her again, because I saw to it that it happened that way. And btw, I personally believe calling the mother would only frustrate you more. Why do you think this child acts this way? You would be only arguring against ignorance and there is no point to frutstrate yourself further. Tell your child to stay away from this child and insist upon their separation in the classroom.
