Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Matthew is a very unusual child...he began first grade when he was four. He had already been reading for over a year.
Joshua, on the other hand, is my blissfully average child! LOL He will start kindergarten next year shortly before he turns 6.
So this is my fourth year to homeschool.
Today was a great homeschool day. Matthew has taken responsibility for his science coursework. I had very little interaction with him since it mostly consists of reading and watching a video. I literally only checked his grades three times to make sure he was progressing. He took a major test today (a tenth of his grade...he takes 10 of these tests) and it covered the coursework he just recently took control of...
He missed one. He made a 98.
His curriculum said that whales are the largest mammals and he put that whales were the largest animals was false. He just wasn't thinking.
Now this is good, because he is taking control of what he can, freeing me up to teach him the things he can't take control totally of yet...like his math, and some of his language arts.
He opted to do his science curriculum in bed in the evening...I got him a lap desk for Christmas just for this reason.

My computer was under $500 too, and that was with the printer in your office, and monitor. Then again... it's a year and a half old, now.

LOL Yeah...I noticed it too! It was very strange!
I don't think I have high BP. My mom thinks I should call the doctor, but I feel like it's just dry nose.

I use this stuff... saline nose spray. I have very bad sinuses (lots of allergies) and this helps keep my nose clear and moisturized.

With the weather we've been having a dry nose is expectable. That was why I asked about the water though. Your feet. Your nose. I will mind my own business again now.

Just a FYI for all owners of HHD pocket knives: While "tuning" the last batch, I noticed the cap screws used for the thumb stud and blade stop were not as tight as they could be. I took one out, and noticed they used loctite on these two threads, so they are "safe", even though not as tight as I would like. I gave all the knives on hand a slight tightening of those two screws.
Since those two screws have loctite on them, you shouldn't be concerned. However, if you ever want to check the tightness of the screws, remember that the two screws that hold on the pocket clip did not have loctite on them, and some were on the borderline of being loose before I tightened them. And if you do want to tighten any of the screws, those are metric hex sockets, so you should use only metric hex wrenches.
Once I get the latest (I won't say "final" any more) ten knives back from the engraver, I'll have 23 HHD Specials on hand for immediate deployment. So get out there and find more troops that we can give them to!

Now here's another item I think any GI would love, but at a list price of $60 (best price I've seen is $40), is a bit beyond our price range. It's made by Kershaw, and appeals to the geeky side of the knife collector in me.

You don't need to mind your own business! I appreciate your concern for me! And I hadn't made the connection between dry feet and dry nose!
I promise, I start the day tomorrow with a big jug of water!

That is cool.
To: 2Jedismom
It would be great if water is all it took to alleviate these problems for you. I just notice that it makes a lot of difference for me. When it gets cold I tend not to *think* to drink enough.
