Columbine - anti-government? Right wing? Did I miss something?

(Please pardon the additional post; limitations on edits from mobile phone...) Regarding Silver Linings, I particularly liked the portrayal of a family, dealing with a grown son's struggle with bipolar disorder. Not a knee-jerk toxic portrayal but an actual supportive family with all its quirks and habits.

Silver Linings Playbook is excellent from start to finish. Bradley Cooper breaks further away from his party boy roles, the Winter's Bone performance of Jennifer Lawrence was not a fluke and DeNiro was back to his magic. I can't say enough good things about this movie.

Another INTJ here.

The source of most of the arguments and misunderstandings (not that there are a lot) between my husband and me is this.  He's a strong S and I'm a strong N.  It's just like you say, PsychLynne - two different languages.  The funny thing is, once we hash it all out, we find we're saying the same thing, just two very very different ways.

Sorry, I misread your post... Speed reading at Ricochet
always gets me in trouble.

Taleena, perhaps you meant Wuthering Heights, rather than Pride and Prejudice?

Couldn't we set a target amount that would cover Ray and Linda's tax liability as well as the van?

Edit:  And, I should have said, forego tax deductions on our part. 

I'm in.  Thanks for letting us know the need.  I know how hard it can be to ask.

Hi, Lucy.  Florida Virtual School offers three years of Latin instruction.  There are middle school classes as well but note that FLVS is a "public school" provided by the state of Florida.  I wish you well on your family's new adventure!

Wow!  Ups my hopes that Romney/Ryan will take Colorado.

Welcome back, Midge!  And what a lovely gentle reminder you've put forth of accepting silliness as a release valve.

Jim,  your new home looks lovely!  Thanks for updating us!

Congratulations, Dave!

Rachel Lu, another reason homeschoolers may appear to be "walking on eggshells" is their own concerns about their decision to homeschool.  I remember the first few years constantly questioning whether this was the right thing to do, was I harming my children, would we be successful.

Homeschooling was and pretty much still is a radical approach to take as the article cited in KP's post posits.  It's choosing a very different path.  Family opposition, local school opposition, and one's own doubts all come to bear.

Amen, Mama Toad!

A lot of the school-age parents I have talked to seemed to feel this, as though my homeschooling was a judgement on their choices.  I try to move the conversation to the multitude of choices available (public, private, charter, virtual, home) and that each family should determine what's best for them.

Mezzrow, cjrun, other Floridians - see http://www.jamesmadison.org/ for a informative breakdown of Florida's constitutional amendments. Haven't read in detail yet. Hope we're not voting on matters akin to acceptable sizes of pig cages again!
