    Around here, we have some cicadas nearly every summer. Don't be afraid of them. They don't bite or sting. On a hot day, you can hear their chigga-chigga-chigga all day long. I'm used to it, and it doesn't bother me. Some years there seem to be more than others, and they like hot summers, but I...

    I hear, though I have no experience, that chickens will decimate the tick population, so if that's a concern, get them.

    I tutored again today, and after a long hiatus, I tried Scrabble with the 2 older ones. The little one got all bent out of shape because he couldn't play, but I remained firm, saying he wasn't old enough and didn't know enough words. He had a tantrum, but I think it's good for him to realize he...

    I heard this on the radio news tonight, and wondered what it will do to e-cigs as we know them. They had pro and con people speaking, and the pro people said it would put a lot of the small businesses out of business because they wouldn't have money to meet the regulations. They also mentioned...

    It's been a while since I dropped in to say hi. First, I continue to send healing vibes to all who need them. I've been lurking, so I know who you are. Now for tutoring news. Yesterday, I gave the youngest boy his birthday party, though his actual birthday isn't till tomorrow, but I decided...

    I did some more research on him, and lo & behold, he and his brother were involved in something shady with ecigs! What a small world! See Who should we blame for the failure of Safe Cig? John Cameron? for instance.

    Yesterday I tutored the usual 4 kids. The new girl and her mom will be going to China for a visit on Sunday. I don't know how long they'll be gone. The big news is that the littlest boy started helping me read from the story I was reading to him. He pointed out a word he recognized, and so we...

    Sorta late, but I bet Rave still needs healing vibes, so I'm continuing to send them. I'm not forgetting Uncle, either. He gets some, too.

    I just got home from a long day tutoring and then going to the movies with 4 of the 5 kids I tutor. As some of you already know, it was The Jungle Book. We all decided to go to the 3-D showing, since none of us, including me, had ever seen a 3-D movie. Unlike old movies where you got cardboard...

    It sounds pretty, though. Was there a place you could plant it where it wouldn't disturb other plants? I wonder what it was.

    Thanks for the definition link, Trit. Well, if he can't play with the big boys, then he'll have to settle for other games. That's not so bad, is it? I'll have to ask him if he uses Steam and how he fares in group games, if he does participate in them. I'm definitely of the solitaire card game ilk.

    Rave, I'm sending lots of vibes that you get well and are pain-free.

    Thanks for the info. What does he mean by "Though, if you're 10 years old in a competitive game and reveal this fact, you will probably get owned." That sounds very weird. All the other info I knew from my research. I'm not sure if this 12-year-old boy uses Steam or not, though I do know he's...

    I'm sending vibes for Uncle and Awsum. I tutored today, and everything went well. The big news is that I plan to take all the kids to see the movie, The Jungle Book. It all started when the first girl started reading the Mowgli stories. Then someone here alerted me to the new movie coming out...

    Wow! Rave, get well! I go away for a couple of days to get my computer up and running, and look what happens! I drove down to my brother's house outside Philly (Philadelphia), about a 4-hour, nonstop drive on Tuesday. My brother thinks the hard drive in my old laptop is toast, and he helped...

    Celtic, I hope your tooth pain has abated. Awsum, yes, it's another Mac laptop. I hope to get the old one fixed. I'm wondering if I should take it to someone local but untried, and if so, who, or if I should just mail it off to Apple. I still have to figure out quite a lot. I guess it's time...
