Homeschool websites are generally just that, homeschooling info, family info, “What do I do now?” questions. Potentially interesting if you’re a homeschooler yourself, but a bit of a yawn otherwise.

Homeschool websites are generally just that, homeschooling info, family info, “What do I do now?” questions. Potentially interesting if you’re a homeschooler yourself, but a bit of a yawn otherwise. Very occasionally, however, something truly wonderful happens. This is one of those times. Read through a bit until The Great Crockery Debate begins.

Just so we’re all on the same page. Here are the basic rules for sleeping anywhere in my general vicinity when I am experiencing a migraine.

  • No snoring
  • No rolling over in bed
  • No moving around of any kind in bed
  • No sniffing
  • No sneezing
  • No coughing - are you trying to kill me?
  • No flipping the pillow over
  • No flapping the sheets
  • No open mouth breathing
  • No cute little sounds on the exhale – pff, pff, pff
  • No breathing

Your obliviousness to my pain-induced insomnia is ticking me off.

There’s nothing funny about colonoscopies, unless they’re being explained by Dave Berry. Hats off to you Red. I’ll be sure to tell Dad Windu about the vodka.

Choice or biology. I find it strange that people are still debating the topic of origin as it regards to homosexuality (or evolution, for that matter). I can give you my reason for believing what I do, but I think author Eileen Cook does a more entertaining job, with her trademark humor thrown in for good measure. Here’s her take on the matter. I’ll start you off…   

“I don’t understand the recent debate on homosexuality and gay marriage. If sexuality was a choice, and you could choose to be gay or not, it seems that once you decided you could change your mind. If this were possible you would be flooded with telemarketers…”
