copy cats

I listened to the news again, maybe I should just stop doing that. The authorities have gotten 6 different warnings of kids wanting to repeat yesterdays shootings, copy cats. One of those warnings came from a small town just 10 miles from us. What can you do to be safe? The shooter did not just kill kids in a school, but he also shot people in a store, a hospital, and on the street. You can not hid in your home for fear of being a victim. It is sad that 6 other people felt a need to express a desire to copy this tragic act. I'm sure parents do there best to love their kids, but so much in society tears kids down. There are so many sad and lonely people in this world. I guess all we can do is pray for Gods protection. We should also be kind to people. We should try to build people up. But that’s not always easy. There is a lonely boy in our neighborhood. His parents are always gone. Every vacation you can count on this kid showing up to play. But he is a few years older then my boys, and he is ruff. Last time he came over he hit Sarah and shoved her head into a pillow. We had to ask him to leave. So I see him on the streets. I have to protect my kids. He is too old and ruff to have over anymore. I see him alone on the streets. It's sad. What do I do? There are so many lost and lonely people. My first responsibility is to protect my own kids. It makes me mad that this kids family were never there for him.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi...

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...
