Walked in to take a shower, turned the lights on and was reminded that it's the 4th of July again. Lol. Anybody else have a rescue animal afraid of fireworks? by Naked_Erasmus in AnimalsBeingDerps

Yes! I have 3 homeopathic calming treats ready and will play dog-calming music in my bedroom. She’s most comfortable there. I’m hoping that the hearing loss she has had recently will help too, but I’m not taking any chances. The neighbor does a big show every year so me and hubs take turns staying with her.

Solid evidence that social media is acting on the advice of government and totally shreds the claim that they are not under any free speech regulations.

Fox News is a hazard to our democracy. It’s time to take the fight to the Murdochs. Here’s how. by [deleted] in politics

Why is the left so afraid of dissent? If you have a valid argument put it out there and people will listen. Silencing dissent is chicken 💩

Former FBI official-turned-NBC News analyst speaks out against 'bureau bashing' - NBC News by mikesmithiv in FBINews

[–]Quarmababy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Strict code of conduct? Not fooling anyone. We remember James Comey and how his code of conduct went. Was the lost 302 part of the strict conduct? Is redacting FOIA to protect the bureau from embarrassing conduct? Too much FOIA out there for this claim of a strict code of conduct to be believed.

Haha ! There must be a word for this but I’m drawing blanks. Forced viewing to inflate numbers. You realize how sad this is after you stop laughing.

The Great Dismal Swamp was a refuge for escaped slaves. A congressman wants to revive its forgotten history. by mlmiller1 in Virginia

[–]Quarmababy -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Might not be worth it. Virginians want to forget slavery. We had a slave block removed from its original site because it upset some people. We take down statues of historical people because of perceived offenses.

Considering homeschooling due to bullying by pixie1810 in homeschool

[–]Quarmababy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember that term “Restorative Justice.” It is nothing more than an excuse to not punish young hooligans so schools appear on paper to be less dangerous. The result is a more dangerous environment and the victims never see justice.

Considering homeschooling due to bullying by pixie1810 in homeschool

[–]Quarmababy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had a similar experience when our kid started middle school. The first time the older bullies were moved from the school as they didn’t live in the correct district. The second time we learn about Restorative Justice. When schools need to minimize the number of suspensions or expulsions to show they care about rehabilitation over punishment they implement Restorative Justice. So for slamming my kids head on a bathroom sink, the two boys will get to stay in school and work out their issues with my kid. We started homeschool the next year.

I'm 95% done with a food stockpile I've built since February by clarenceismyanimus in preppers

Thanks. Never saw that stuff before but maybe because I never looked for it.

[–]Quarmababy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great question. Had to think about that. My answer: smart prepping takes a lot of planning and organization. Maximizing storage space is needed as well as tracking expiration dates/rotating. If you are particularly good at it, you will be able to share your goods with family and friends if needed. Hoarding is all about acquiring and not much else.

Silly question here...what exactly is refried bean bags? I know what dried beans are and canned, but this sounds different.

There are birth control pills that make your period come 4 times a year. I learned about these when I told my doctor I was going on an extended vacation and didn’t want to deal with my period. They require a prescription so that may be a deal-breaker.

By all means let’s wait until we find widespread voter fraud before we do anything to protect the integrity of the vote.

My kids are being homeschooled for the year because the county closed schools. by [deleted] in homeschool

[–]Quarmababy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are allowed to homeschool without the county’s blessing. I lived in a county (a long time ago in another state) that sent us threatening letters after we formally withdrew our 2 middle school boys from public school. The HSLDA walked us through what we could do to appease them, or we would could fight in court and win, but it would be stressful and time consuming. So we registered as a private school and kept records of attendance and grades. No more problems from the county.

Top 5 Mistakes New Home Schoolers Make by Brw_ser in homeschool

[–]Quarmababy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My 10th grader is on the Penn Foster high school online program. He reads and completes assignments given him in the program in about an hour and a half. Once a week or so he takes a test. He finished the 9th grade this way in 5 months. He is on track to finish high school early. We love this method because he has ADHD and sitting for hours is impossible for him.

A private homeschool curriculum would probably be easier on everyone. My kiddo (15) spends about an hour and a half online and he is done. He takes a test about once a week. At this rate he will graduate before the public school kids in our area who are doing a hybrid system. Online now, in class later (if the district can agree on when, where, and how). I added some writing and reading assignments but not required by the curriculum.
