    Awsum, how's the storm treating you? I hope it's not too bad. I think they are worried because of Hurricane Sandy doing so much damage. Maybe this won't be so bad, but no one wants to take chances and be unprepared. Tutoring: Today, the new girl read something about Halloween that I chose since...

    Awsum, I'm glad to hear Bo is feeling better. Lizzie, I think grooming and treats will be the way to win the new guy's heart. It really helps that you're the one to feed him, too. That was something I missed with Penny, since I boarded her.

    The latest tutoring report. The 3 originals all didn't do their homework till I came. I guess that was because I took them out yesterday, though I think they wait till the last minute anyway. I took the younger boy first, since he fell asleep last time. I thought maybe he needed a nap, and...

    Lizzie, I'm sorry to hear about Penny, but you seem to be accepting it pretty well. I'm sending vibes to you that you won't feel too sad. Congratulations on the Nevada / Glitch switch. I hope he'll work out better for you. He looks cute. Such a long tail! I agree that you need to get him gelded...

    Today, the destination the kids and I chose was a dud. How were we to know? I stressed that this happens when you try new things that you never did before. Sometimes the event is less than anticipated, but sometimes you make a wonderful discovery. You never would have made the wonderful...

    Do you want to hear the tutoring details? The big issue is how to dispense the stones and have everyone rewarded w/o conflict. My new plan is to have smaller containers for each child. When that child's container fills, then that child deserves a trip someplace. If more than one container fills...

    Can I play the devil's advocate? If a water company decides to send pipes to every house in a new area, then I think one or two houses (or maybe more) that don't want the water will make it not profitable to run the pipes. So, either every homeowner in a community is happy with the water supply...

    After tutoring today, as usual, I searched the Internet, via Google, for stuff for the kids' next lesson. And I got a bogus warning that going to the web site meant my computer was compromised. This wasn't true. It was just someone trying to get my info so I could be hacked into. Be aware of...

    Rave, congratulations for your medal and completing the walk. I sure hope we get to hear more from you now. We missed you! Lizzie, I hope you get the TV signal straightened out. That's a drag, especially since you are paying for the service. The big news here is that the obnoxious grandmother...

    Lizzie, congratulations on the new pony and on maybe finding Nevada a new home. I can't wait to see pictures. Penny had a narrow chest, too, and it never seemed to bother her. Of course, the way she was built probably had something to do with developing arthritis in her old age, but probably the...

    Awsum, I guess you know not to plant bamboo in your yard! It's really invasive and pops up from underground roots. I had that problem with the house we rented in California. Yes, I was surprised to see a bamboo forest on Long Island! So it does grow in colder climates. I remember when I was a...

    Lizzie, when you go look at the pony, can you take pictures and show us? If he pleases you and you buy him, is there room for 3 at your place? If not, what'll you do? Maybe someone would trade Nevada for an older, more trained pony or mini?

    The other day,while walking around their neighborhood, the grandmother and kids encountered a hot-air ballon that had just landed. The men gave the kids a little ride up, though I hear it was just a few feet off the ground.

    I just got back from tutoring. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but the boy and girl have an intense competition about who gets to go first for the lessons. No one wants to. This summer, their mom said the girl had to go first every time because then she'd have plenty of time to eat. (She...

    I'm sorry to hear about 1st Officer, though I didn't know him. I think he posted here recently, but not much. Rave, it's good to hear from you, and I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well. Yes, let us know how the walk goes. Don't overdo. If you have to stop before it's completed, do it. Take...

    That does look like a great movie. I bet the kids would like it, if it comes to a theater in Ithaca. I'll keep my eye out for it. I bet the kids have never been to a movie in a theater. The girl is still plugging away at chapter 3. And, though it's difficult reading, she still wants to read...

    Lizzie, I'm so sorry to hear about Penny! That's the heartbreaking thing about pets -- their life span is so much shorter than ours. Yes, spoil her and give her the best, most comfortable time she can have.
