What would you do to make sure your child had a good education?

I watched a TV show tonight called good-bye Deutschland. It is dangerous for me to watch a show like this. I'm going a little crazy trying to secure a good education for Philip. I am feeling less and less sure this is possible in Germany. I've even looked at jobs and houses in the USA. To be honest with you, I don't really want to move. I love America, but generally Germany is a better place to live. We have 6 weeks of vacation per year. The stores are not opened here 24 hours a day. Life runs slower here. In this way I like Germany better...but I need a good school for Philip. It is killing me I can not find an easy path for him. I think the special education system in the USA is 100% better. It is so tempting for me to just say good-bye Deutschland. I don't really think that's the answer...but trust me I have thought about it! Oh, and Juergen will not even consider it...it's only a thought!

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
