I dunno...would elves stoop to eating FRIED foods?
Supposedly 9 of the 13 servers were down for an hour.
Breakfast is on! I overheard your requests and the table is laden with fresh buttermilk biscuits. Next to them on several platters are heaps of bacon, country ham and sausage patties. I've also prepared a mountain of scrambled eggs and sauteed mushrooms to stuff your breakfast sandwiches with. Strong coffee and delicious orange juice are on the sideboard with the condiments. ENJOY!
g'nad - Stay safe, be careful and know my prayers are with you today.
Only because their home burned down. They have property and a new home that volunteers are helping them get into livable condition. Is living in a homeless shelter reason to take children away from their parents?
They abandoned a bunch of animals (they were rescued) on a little one-acre piece of land they own which is a junk heap of demolished buildings.
They didn’t “abandon” any animals. They made the trip everyday to feed them and check on them. Some busybodies from the Humane Society decided the animals needed “rescuing” so they went and got the town council to give them the ok.
They were in the process of clearing the land up to make room for their new home and to make shelters for their animals.
Again, are these reasons to take the parents’ children away from them?
She has no source of income that I heard about.
You’re right, we didn’t hear about any her having any income in that story. However it did mention they had some sort of budget so the husband must have been making something.
She is only in jail now because she refuses completely to cooperate in any way, including being fingerprinted or photographed in connection with criminal charges.
She stood up for her civil rights. Could she have done so in a different way? Probably, but I don’t see where her civil disobedience provides sufficient cause to take her children away.
I don't see things in terms of whether she, or Vermont, own her kids.
That’s because you are a normal person. ;^)
Unfortunately the public school system and the gov’t of VT have shown that they think otherwise.
She is a train wreck who happens to home school, and the arguments are too twisted when it centers on a crazy.
We don’t know that she is a “train wreck”. She may have been a wonderful homeschooling mother. The story even said that one of the complaints against her was that her expectations for her children were “too high”. That doesn’t sound like a complaint that would be levelled at someone who is blowing off their kid’s schooling.
Maybe your perspective would change if you had children. I cannot see the state taking children away from their parents unless they were in danger of physical injury. Who is to say that the children are better off as wards of the state? Here in Florida there is a scandal going on about our foster care system. There are a large number of children missing and they are considered to be in great danger.
I know this story has made me want to make sure that I am paying dues to HSLDA (Homeschooling Legal Defense Assocation).
(Rosie, I'm pinging you in case you may have heard more about this particular case in your local media and can shed a little more light on the subject.)
Supposedly they were 9 of the 13 servers that control the global internet.
I'm just trying to figure out if I need to put on my tin foil hat...
Her kids could actually READ in kindergarden! Her expectations are much too high, take them away from her! ;^)
On a serious note, if I had had your phone number Saturday night, I would have called you to make sure all the Corinses were safe.
Suppose I bake them first, then fry.....
