If you nOObs ever climb together it's going to be a freakin massacre. your concerns are well founded. Sell the house in SoCal. Move to Utah. Have money. Do with it as you wish (with kids). Put kids in better schools. Make kids pay for your retirement. Sounds formulaic to me. I'm thinking more along the lines of easier schooling. Where they just get bumped from one grade to the next. So we can spend our time camping a climbing and not studying. See? That's what I call an education!
Calling my district now, to see if we can get the same deal.

I know it doesn't mean a whole lot, but there is a group of hardcore dorks that are online every day in a range of timezones that you can talk to whenever you feel like it. (Hint: It is us)

Nice choice.
Mine should be arriving shortly. Looks like Revolution T-shirts and Ellis Forge bottle openers are going to be standard PCI paraphenalia.

That is a tough diagnosis for someone as young as he is. You two will be ok though. You're tough and now you know what you're dealing with, so you can get him started on any kind of treatments that may be available.
I'm hoping for the best, K. *Hugs*

Last night I learned the other major school district in the area, has gone to no Homework!!!!!!!!!1111111won one win! Calling my district now, to see if we can get the same deal.
If my schools had that policy, I may have actually graduated. Might have even had decent grades.
My stance was always that they had me captive for 6-7 hours a day, during which time I would treat it like a job and do what I was told. No way in fucking hell I was going to voluntarily do work outside of school though. Not a chance. Got mostly C's, D's and F's as a result.

Watching The Canyon >> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960741/ on Showtime. Not that great of a movie but it was pretty awesome to watch her cut off his leg with that big ass knife though!
