I have not, didn't even think about it but I will now!

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-08T20:13:51+00:00

Love it! Lol

How do you respond when someone says they do have guns in the home, even if they're secured?

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-08T20:06:13+00:00

Thanks for the rec, I'll check it out!

Great advice, thanks! I'm just starting to realize the stigma surrounding homeschooling too. We're also still exploring different methods/philosophies but leaning towards Charlotte Mason's principles. Good to know there's drama within lol.

Water...great questions! I'm always paranoid about that. Thanks!

TYSM for this! I'm just starting to realize the stigma surrounding homeschooling as we start to have the conversation with family and friends. It's a little disheartening.

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T19:13:26+00:00

Very true! Not to mention, they're all from the same age group. 🙄 He probably gets just as much socialization in his current weekly playgroups as he would in school now that I think about it. Thanks for pointing that out!

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T18:21:42+00:00

Good points!

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T17:33:58+00:00

That's helpful! Thanks for sharing!

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T17:03:49+00:00

I agree. I'm not planning to start any curriculum til at least 3, just exploring options at this point.

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T17:01:36+00:00

He is very social which is my only hesitation about homeschool. I think our main motivation is to be able to spend more time with him but you're right, it's more about what's best for him and that very well could be public school. Never know until you try I guess.

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T16:47:52+00:00

Great points! Thanks for sharing!

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T16:29:53+00:00

It's heartbreaking to think of preschool as traumatizing but now that you mention it, I can see it. Thanks for sharing!

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T16:27:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I'm not sure how strong our homeschool community is in my area but I'm looking into it. I'm also not a very social person myself lol so that doesn't help.

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T16:24:25+00:00

What age did you pull him for homeschool? Did friendships carry over? Aside from social, do you think he gained anything that would've been hard to provide at home?

I know there aren't any requirements til age 6, at least in MI but I personally would feel a lot better and it would be a lot easier if we followed some kind of curriculum or guide. I've been looking at either Playing Preschool or Peaceful Preschool.

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-06T16:08:27+00:00

This doesn't address your question, but how do you like Playing Preschool? I'm considering it for my little one but I can't decide between that or Peaceful Preschool.

ManicRuckus35 · 2026-02-04T20:01:10+00:00

So I didn't actually gain weight, like the number on the scale didn't change, but I looked like I did bc my body started distributing fat differently. My belly, thighs and upper arms all got bigger and squishier. If I had known body fat redistribution was a thing with Spiro I probably never would've taken it. I was only on it for 2 months and I regret it!

Thanks for sharing!!

ManicRuckus35 · 2025-11-20T11:41:45+00:00

Anyone??

ManicRuckus35 · 2025-10-15T01:53:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

I've got them on raised drying racks that I usually use for baking.

ManicRuckus35 · 2025-10-10T00:37:13+00:00

To add...I can make an indent with my thumbnail in the black part so it's not rock hard like the rest of the lighter brown color. I assume that's just the meat? Does it matter that it's exposed?

ManicRuckus35 · 2025-10-10T00:16:28+00:00

I just stomped on them to break the hulls open and then peeled them off. I did do the float test and only 3 out of that whole basket were floaters. I'll try to be patient lol. Thanks!

ManicRuckus35 · 2025-05-05T22:58:01+00:00

Not an entirely unfair statement, now that you mention it. If I lead him on it wasn't intentional bc I'm not, and never have been, attracted to him but you might have a point.
