26723. OhioSTOPAS - 1/9/2012 3:57:06 AM Wabbit,
My son moved after a year - not because his location under the Citgo sign wasn't THE COOLEST LOCATION EVER 26724. OhioSTOPAS - 1/9/2012 3:59:28 AM (Oops, clumsy typing)
. . . but because he made friends at B.U. with whom to share a place and save money. He now lives in an apartment near Brighton Center with two roommates, and works at Beth Israel Hospital. 26725. wabbit - 1/9/2012 8:39:01 PM I know the area, I'm in and out of St. Elsewhere regularly. That apartment was the best location (right behind the Green Monster in Fenway Park for those not familiar). Congrats to him on Beth Israel, a great hospital. 26726. vonKreedon - 1/9/2012 9:31:32 PM I lived in both Brighton and Allston in the late 70's, really enjoyed the large group house I lived in Allston Square before I made the move to Washington. I was there for the '78 blizzard, much fun was had jumping off the roof the neighboring elementary school into the drifts. 26727. OhioSTOPAS - 1/10/2012 2:49:45 PM The then-future Mrs. Ohio and I spent the blizzard of 1978 snowed in together at my Newton apartment.
(And in case you're wondering, our first child was not born until 1981.) 26728. Ms. No - 1/12/2012 7:10:46 AM Said child's accomplishments showing that the three years of practice paid off. ;-> 26729. OhioSTOPAS - 1/13/2012 2:36:24 PM Practice makes perfect! (Although in my case, not yet . . .) 26730. thoughtful - 1/13/2012 3:13:32 PM Blizzard of '78. Hubby and I spent the blizzard at each other's house keeping the home fires burning and each other's fire burning...we weren't married until June that year, and as fate would have it, my parents were enjoying a week in sunny Jamaica. Was also very helpful that we lived next door to each other so it was only a snowy walk across the field to the other's house.
What a lovely unexpected time together. Sigh. 26731. arkymalarky - 1/13/2012 7:07:18 PM How romantic! 26732. iiibbb - 1/21/2012 5:35:51 AM I don't know if this is normal or not. He's only 2... and although he's doing a little bit of sight reading, he also seems to know words we've not show him. Although he didn't quite get it in the video, right before the video I swear he sounded out "Kitty" on his own. This is also the longest string of words he's put together in one sitting; long enough that we had time to get the recorder going and he was still performing.
Really exciting.
26733. arkymalarky - 1/21/2012 6:09:24 AM It's not common but mose read before she turned 3. She's always had great written and verbal skill and your son probably will too. 26734. thoughtful - 1/21/2012 5:01:55 PM I started reading when I was 3 and used to read stories to my own kindergarten class....then they had me skip 1st grade. 26735. arkymalarky - 1/21/2012 7:50:42 PM Yes, they quit doing that in most public schools. Mose was put in enrichment which got less valuable as she got older. But early reading and writing are not criteeia for those programs. They were going to skip my 1st grade year but I was physically way smaller than my kindergarten classmates. Sure don't have that problem now. 26736. arkymalarky - 1/22/2012 4:42:47 AM I could not stand it to nov. if gingrich got the nomination. What an insufferable, arrogant drip. 26737. arkymalarky - 1/22/2012 4:46:27 AM Ooh. Thought this was the politics thread. Sorry. 26738. arkymalarky - 1/22/2012 6:31:30 AM To post on the subj above, I also read at 3 which is why I was so far ahead in kindergarten. 26739. wabbit - 1/22/2012 5:03:03 PM I was always thankful that my mother refused to have me skip any grades. I was the youngest in my class as it was. 26740. vonKreedon - 1/30/2012 8:33:14 PM Over in the Mote thread at TPW, Cal says:
But Pelle, why don't you post here? No one bites.
Haha....pretty much everyone bites at TPW. Since pretty much all the non-conservatives got tired of the biting and left the conservatives have had to resort to gnawing on each other. 26741. arkymalarky - 1/31/2012 5:14:40 AM I was so glad Pelle updated us. Sounds like life is going great for him. 26742. arkymalarky - 1/31/2012 5:21:20 AM This is what's great about small town life:
Stan had to license the civic and he was late and our friend at the revenue office called the courthouse to see if we'd assessed our taxes, which of course we hadn't, and she assessed for us on the phone. So for once we don't owe a late assessment fee.
