Math help

This was sent to me and I thought this was the easiest place to save it.

Go ahead and post what your son needs help on, I'd love to help.

Here are some math sites that may be helpful for you in the future:

• http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ put in a topic and search
• http://www.webmath.com/ This one will work the problem out for you and then explain the answer. This site is good for parents to use who are trying to help the kids understand.
• http://www.myalgebra.com/algebra_solver.aspx This one solves the problem, but does not explain it, you have to buy the software for that.
• http://www.sosmath.com/algebra/solve/solve0/solve0.html Another solve and explain site.

I hope these can help someone

Stages of Life

The four stages of life!!

Update on projects for Kid

So earlier this month (see post) I talked about an idea I had for what to do (make) for kid for Christmas. So I came across those patterns and was all set to start.

Well I got birthday one weeks ago, and started that one right away. It has been a PITA the whole time. Least right now because it is in the area where every so many stitches it changes colors again. But for most part it is going well. But the other two patterns that were for Christmas had not arrived and I was getting a tad bit annoyed and worried. But all else fails this would just have to step up and be the Christmas gift.

Well they arrived late last week. Boy was I happy. I got the Aida over the weekend. Got kid off to school this morning. Pulled it all out and started to get ready to start on the first one. I pull all the thread for the pattern, made copy of pattern so I could cross off as I stitched away. Then I noticed it.

They sent me the wrong pattern. Ugh! Sweet blasted sugar nuts!! Now I suppose this pattern is not the worst. But come on when I order a certain product, this is what I want. Not something you decide to send. So now I am trying to decide if I am going to suck it up and and lose anymore time on this matter and start this one. Or send this back and request the correct pattern be sent. Risking the fact it may or not be ready in time. Other wise it is all good.

I will try to post pictures as I go. I really think they will be fast patterns and so have no troubles completing the two I had plans for the holidays. So there is my update on kid presents.

Play Ball ..

Well we got a lot of rain yesterday and to quote the man, "don't hold your breath the game will still be played". Kid and I should have placed a bet, because we would have won.

The game was still played. Kid played his butt off. He caught & scored in the first inning. He played left field in the third. He was really hitting the ball well today. Guess that $xxx.xx bat is paying off. They played the .. well now that I think about it, they were not wearing names on jersery. But it was a close game. 5-7. They did lose, but hey it was a well played game. Really if time had not ran out, I think they could have taken it the game.

Afterward we ate dinner out and headed back home.

Take a picture

.. it will last longer.

So I have not seen the front of our refrigerator in MONTHS. But I cleared it all off before repairman got here. So after he repaired and left I put what was needed back up and filed, sorted, and trashed the rest. So it is all clean and can actually see a refrigerator in the kitchen. (This really is no lie I should have taken a before shot.)

So I did just that ..




took a picture, because it will not last that long.


Also we have freezing freezer, and ice in the ice bucket. Oh yeah!
