No Judgement - (USA)
Not from me anyway. A few of you were questioning whether or not I was making a judgement against those who do in fact drop their kids off at pre -school and enjoy that time. In no way was I passing any form of judgement on anyone. So sorry if it seemed as such. Honestly and truly I was not and do not judge anyone for their parenting decisions. Its a HARD job and I choose to believe that we are ALL doing our very best to make the best decisions we can when it comes to raising our kids. I

Homeschooling and Socialization - (USA)
Today I am happy to have a guest contributor, Twinks, from Sunflower Faith. As you know, I have been thinking a lot about homeschooling my children and today Twinks had a fabulous post on her blog about one of the many concerns people have when it comes to homeschooling - socialization. Her perspective is fresh and encouraging - thanks, Twinks! Life Beyond the Home - What About Socialization? It happened. Our first, “What about socialization?” question regarding homeschooling.

Telling stories - (USA)
When I used to fill in at Tacy and CJ’s old pre-school , I heard from more than one teacher about the lively tales told by their kids. Sometimes those stories got personal enough - and racy enough - that the teachers had a little difficulty looking parents in the eye when they arrived to pick up their children. By that time I was already blogging, and I figured that I was probably the one telling tales about my children that would someday make it difficult for them to look anyone in the eye

British Comics on the Rise? - (USA)
Regular readers of downthetubes already know the British comics industry is far from dead, but now that gut feeling is backed by new figures which reveal sales are booming, up more than 70 per cent in the past five years.While the boost in sales is largely the result of sales of licensed titles, most inspired by TV series such as Doctor Who and The Night Garden, the figures suggest children's comics are seeing off competition from more advanced playthings. Market research company Mintel reports

A Spice Cookie Made From Nuts, Raisins and Molasses. - (USA)
The dictionary has a few definitions of the word “hermit.” I’m not going with the one in my title, or the Ornithological one. I’m going with the one that applies to people who have grown tired of sharing their space with assholes and want to live the rest of their lives alone—or with a few chosen others—under the guise of religious devotion or not. After the birth of my third child, I retreated into a very hermit-like existence. I had an infant to tend to and I pretty much hated the livin

A History Lesson - (USA)
Having grown up in the United States but spent virtually all of his adult life outside the land of his birth, Macro Man has had the opportunity to observe different theories of education at close quarters. Indeed, with two children in school, he is now at the coal-face, so to speak; in the UK his kids have been taught cursive handwriting at an age when he himself was doing colouring in pre-school. What has always struck him as peculiar about the UK educational system is the degree of specializ

Ugly Betty: Betty is as Hairy as a Y.E.T.I. - (USA)
Dear Crabby: What's the difference between Y.E.T.I. and Yeti? Dear Couch: Lots of waxing and apparently affirmative action! Every time a bell rings, Betty jumps a little faster! We open this episode of Ugly Betty with a bell ringing. Santa? Is that you? No, it's Amanda in the tub ringing for Betty to hand her a loofah. So, Betty has a bathtub in the middle of the living room, but nowhere does she have a full-length mirror? Because it looks like Ronald McDonald and Chanel barfed all over her.

Why I chose McCain - (USA)
When I look at what this country needs in leadership I see John McCain in so many capacities superior to his opposition. Over this protracted election cycle, it is hard to read up on every nuanced statement and position and as we have seen with both candidates snap decision or held policy beliefs have changed with more available information or when global circumstance arise. Unlike most of my Red republican brethren I have a strong conservation position and consider myself a Green conserva

Drugs, Gangs and Clown Paint: Utah’s Novel New Take on Satanic Panic - (USA)
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about “Juggalos” using the recent case of two teens who have been accused of attempting to kidnap a 5-year-old as a jumping off point. Having a degree in Comparative Religion I I did what I always do when I come across some interesting social phenomenon and over research the subject. I also received comments from several Juggalos which kept me interested and focused on the subject. I have become convinced through my research that the Utah authorities are qui

Joe Biden: Honorary Vagina-American? - (USA)
With all of the talk about Sarah Palin, the fact that she has a vagina, the issues surrounding the various people associated with her vagina, the Republicans who are a little too excited about her vagina, the question of whether other Vagina-Americans will vote for her because of shared vaginaness, and so on, there hasn't been too much said about how Palin really measures up against her opponent, Senator Joe Biden, when it comes to women's issues.

Musings while in recovery - (USA)
I'm too tired, after a day of babysitting, and traumatized, from almost 48 hours without an internet connection, to put together a coherent post. The best I can do is a series of wandering thoughts. 1. Because I had to reboot the computer and the modem as part of the attempt at locating the problem (which didn't help, at all; the outage was at the other end) and because the computer was useless, anyway, (Why do they put the help files online these days?

I’ve got a kindygartner. And I can’t believe it cuz I SWEAR that he looked like THIS just a few days ago! (Seriously, I had some cute babies, didn’t I?) On Monday I sent him off to a new school, to a new teacher, to new friends, looking like a little man.

The Case of the Missing Wholesome Programs - (USA)
by Maura Flynn While the Left may choose to lump those who take issue with Hollywood’s insidious political messages into one conveniently broad, loud, and demanding category, anyone who reads Big Hollywood should realize instantly that such thinking is simplistic and even foolish.

Keeping the Faith in the Most Difficult Times - (USA)
There lives an angel and her name is Miguelina. She is one of the most inspirational people I know. Her life is dedicated to serving others through education. She believes that the path out of poverty (including her own); an existence of few choices and few resources, is paved through learning. I would like to share with you the story about Miguelina because it can inspire us to do more with what we have and teach us that keeping the faith works!

They say that learning is a lifelong process. We can learn something new every day. Well, recently I learned something new about myself. I am a socialist. Yes, that’s right, a socialist. It must be true because someone on the internet told me. I made a comment on a blog post about the great healthcare debate currently going on in the US, and someone took the trouble to let me know that I think the way I do because I’m a socialist.

Book review: “I’m Chocolate, You’re Vanilla” - (USA)
written by Liz of Inventing My Life; also crossposted from Eyes on Books I just finished reading “I’m Chocolate, You’re Vanilla: Raising Healthy Black and Biracial Children in a Race-Conscious World” by Marguerite Wright, and I found it tremendously informative and helpful.What I found most useful about the book is that it takes a developmental approach; each section covers specific ages, from early toddlerhood through the teenage years, and describes what children at those ages are able to unde

Sunday Morning at St. Columba’s Episcopal Church in Northwest DC - (USA)
Yesterday morning I attended the 10:30 summer version of Rite II at St. Columba’s Episcopal Church in northwest Washington, DC. This was part of my attempt to attend and write about a different DC Episcopal Church each week, but alas, St. Columba’s is only my sixth church and third write-up in over four months. A few weeks spent in ID, NH, and VA, as well as a great love of sleeping in, has prevented me from making broader rounds. Still, St. Columba’s was a good experience, and I feel fairly con
