Our life is just a rollercoaster, hold on tight because falling off is not an option.
You are currently browsing the monthly archive for November 2007.
I finally finished the samples (actually I should say Girl and I finally finished, since she made a set as well) of what the kids are going to be doing in my workshops at the In-Home Conference.
The kids ages 4 to 7 are making bookmarks.
And then the older class will be making both wristbands and these hexagonal discs (that make either a nice coaster or they can attach a key chain to it).
My sister, P, sent this to me and I thought I’d pass it on. This release doesn’t say explicitly that you have to be a college student, so an older teen might want to look into it if they are into wild horses.
WILD HORSE BEHAVIOR INTERNSHIP
*From* January through May 2008 at Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina.**
*Work* is 40 hours per week, with an average of two field and three office days per week. Wild horses are monitored for location, band members, and behavior. Pregnancy determination by dung is performed in January. Yearlings are removed with veterinary sedation; contraception is delivered remotely to selected mares. Database and photography work, plus varied activities pertaining to wild horse management, fill the office time.
This internship further qualifies the intern for jobs in wildlife, parks and recreation, resource or equine management. Past interns have gone on to veterinary school, law school, and to employment with wild horses at the North Carolina Rachel Carson Reserve.
*Housing, *furnished, adjacent to the offices and Visitor Center, is included.
*Stipend *eligibility is possible* i*f the intern is enrolled as a half-time student (as defined by the university).
*Credit* may be obtained for the internship if the student’s university recognizes internships and if the student completes the university requirements.
*Position* is open until a candidate is accepted.
Paradise Found had an interesting point in her last comment. I hadn’t realized that Sprittibee or any of her helpers could even be in the Homeschool Blog Awards.
Now when SpunkyHomeschool started the Blog awards it (supposedly) was just a pat on the back that you were ‘winning’, but that’s not the case anymore. The site now crows about how the participants are going to be winning over $1000 in prizes! (and that’s from Vision Forum alone, not to mention other sponsors.) I can’t link to the ‘crow,’ but it’s currently on the left sidebar.
Umm, Doesn’t that mean they need to abid by each state’s rules for contests? I don’t know, but while they aren’t fundraising with the contest, it certainly is no longer playing for a neat badge and at pat.
So, I went looking to see. I came up pretty dry.
I did come up with this for comparison:
From a LiveJournal contest we have pages and pages of legal BS (I’ll copy it out down below for comparison, or you can follow the link.)
And from HBA we have a lonely little blurb, that she refers to later as not being legal BS. ‘I know this is sounding like a legal document’ (I’ll also copy it down below so you can compare.)
Well, I suppose it doesn’t matter……… Read the rest of this entry »
Like my actual home, there’s still some mess to be dealt with and some things I’m not going to bother with.
(I have a tendency to link to past posts and those links didn’t change to the new blog. I’m not going to go back through 800 plus posts to correct them all.)
Oh, and I [...]
We are in the new house and scrambling to make cooking a possibility. Hubby is working hard as a cart-horse.
I wanted to take 5 mins. to point anyone who hasn’t seen it yet to go read both Garrison Keillor’s attack against non-Christians celebrating Christmas and while I’ve seen a few responses, I appreciate Friendly Atheist’s.

While sorting and packing like crazy, my husband posted this:
I’ve been talking about our real-life changes and with moving and all I suspect that that I’ll be fairly quiet for the next couple of weeks.
But I’m also considering a virtual move. Ron and Andrea have been wonderful, but for a couple of reasons I’m contemplating moving my blog to another site.
I’ve been kicking it [...]
Remember last month when I said that Parts of our Town need to wake up?
In my running around this morning, I went past that church.
Now I don’t know what they have had on their sign for the last 4 weeks.
And I don’t know the context that this is coming from.
And I didn’t have a chance [...]
