Wow, the human body is amazing and we're all different.

I personally know some great adults that were home schooled. Also, nine U.S. presidents were home schooled(see list below). It doesn't look like turned out so bad. Okay, I also know a few kind of goofy home schooled children. But I can honestly say the worst behaved and most dangerous children I've seen were in our pubic schools. Plenty of kids in public school are abused and nothing is done about it. I was an elementary ed. major for 3 years and worked a number of months at several pubic school with teachers and guidance counselors. Because of what I saw I came to the conclusion that I did not want to be a teacher there. After seeing those video clips of recent problems in schools with disruptive and disrespectful kids I cringe to think that children could be forced to attend there. I don't call that quality education. Of course some schools are better than others no doubt. The home schoolers I know are not kept at home all the time. They meet up with other homeschoolers seveal times a week. There are lots of museum outings and social activities for them to participate in. Some of the children had struggled in public schools but are now learning much better in a less stressful environment while still enjoying group sports, social activites and lots of field trips. I've been looking into homeschooling my children. I think that is the kind of teaching I really want to do. I hope that right is never taken away. Guess we'll have to fight for it.

This makes me sick how kids are so disrepectful to teachers. It looks like they're making it difficult for the teacher to teach, then try to make the teacher out as a bad guy. What is he supposed to do? So sad what our schools have come to. Poor teachers and good students :(

I saw this recently with my son. It was cool and the creatures looked real to me. I'm a creationist but I still enjoy seeing what they think these creatures may have looked like.

I usually have weak immune system and catch bugs easily. I know a herbalist who is a Medical Doctor as well and she told me to try this. So this winter I bought some herbal extract drops with 2 kinds of echinacea plus golden seal and it has worked for me. I got the kind processed with alcohol instead of the "alcohol free" kind because it's supposed to be more potent. There are different brand that probably would work. Oh an don't expect it to taste good. That golden seal is bitter. I think it's worth it. Wishing good health to you all. Oh yeah and drink LOTS of water if you can. It's simple but that helps too.

This is great. I knew fish were smarter than we give them credit for.

I kept thinking it had to be a moving gif so I copied it in photoshop and took a look. it kept moving just the same. This is a trip. wow

I love this kind of stuff.

Psychological I meant

So she was in a coma from phycological shock of hearing that her baby had died. That's freaky. Glad it had a good ending for her. That's sad about the newborn though.

It's very cute but I think it was spliced too much...too jumpy.

neato :) I wish I could actually see them for real

This is great! My parents saw this on TV a while back and called to tell me about it. I wonder what will be discovered next.

no post about the lunar eclypse? it was awsome!!

Okay they aren't the smartest but I always thought goldfish had a longer memory then scientists gave them credit for. I'm sure they can come up with a better experiment. This one doesn't "hold much water" with me. The fish may just have been hungry and checking otu the new onject. BTW, goldfish need a 30 gallon or bigger aquarium to be kept healthy. The bowls are just temporary death traps.
