    A discussion on homeschooling

    Links for literature

    One of my favorite subjects in school: literature! I decided to do a search for some old titles that I enjoyed when I was in school. Turns out that a lot of these "books" are now free to read online. :) :jump: The Brothers Grimm Bulfinch's Mythology The Complete Works of William...

    Married Lawyer Sues eHarmony

    From the March 27, 2006 edition of the Sacramento Journal Online: You guys should read the comments on this article. :chuckle: It seems that, even though it's one of the most liberal states in the U.S., and people don't think too much of ambulance chasers, I mean lawyers. :chuckle:

    Mayor Won't Give Dead Marine's Money Back

    From The Denver Channel.com: I emboldened the last sentence in the part I copied and pasted. He owes other people money? According to the article, he claimed bankruptcy in 2001 because of like judgements against him. I can't believe that the military sent the money to him instead of the...

    Thirty-Foot Levee Break in Merced Floods Trailer Park

    http://www.sacunion.com/pages/california/articles/8107/ Merced is the town where I was born. So, although I feel sorry for the people who have lost their homes, I have to smack myself upside the head at the same time. Why did the city developpers move the river to build the city? If you...

    Map resources

    Here is a very large wallpaper mural: http://worldmapsonline.com/worldmapwallmurals.htm Geography Matters sells outline maps, laminated so that you can write on them with vis-a-vis markers and erase them later. They are much smaller than the mural above, but might still be large enough for a...

    Historical fiction

    These books look pretty good. I am going to buy some for :jessilu: to read (although she's telling me that she wants to choose her own books) for school. So far, I think I'm going to get The A.D. Chronicles, The Zion Covenant series, The Zion Legacy series, and The Zion Chronicles. These look...

    Drug Policy Gone Awry?

    From The Chicago Sun Times: Although the boy shouldn't have told his friends that it was cocaine, this is ridiculous. What's left of the article said that he could get five years probation for this. Geez! If you're going to charge someone with carrying a "drug look-alike" at least give him...
