Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Meceka]

I have always been a night owl. My mom says that I was the only 4 year old that use to go around saying "Here's Johnny".

:lol:

It is warming up here real fast too and I have to bake all day!

Stay cool!!!!

Well, my house is almost clean again, just in time to make a mess as I bake!
I have a possible job at a tea room, my resume will be a tray of petite fours that the owner will taste test. If she likes them, I will have my very first job ever in a real bakery!

Good luck, Christmasstar - I'd hire you, too!

Does anyone think my new signature is a bit much,or is it okay ?? I loved it when I found it !

I think it is wonderful!

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!!!! It is going to be another hot one here in central Indy. We are well on our way to smashing the old record of 19 straight days in the 90's. Today is day 14 and the lowest temp on the 10 day forecast is 92. I can't wait for the cold weather to return. I don't have a whole lot planned for today. I need to do some cleaning and I plan on watching the nascar coverage from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I am having second thoughts about not going to the race tomorrow so I may call a few friends to see if I can get one to go. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Good afternoon!

It is already too hot to do a thing in the house. I am going to take it easy the rest of the day until it cools off and then I will do some more cleaning and cooking.

Have a great afternoon and stay cool!!!!!!!!

It is in the high 80s here and the next couple of days are potentially 90+ degrees. How accurate have the extended forecasts been? Around here, they are off by upwards of 10 degrees, either way. Stay cool, made! I hope you get your ticket and it is a comfortable spot to view the race!

How accurate have the extended forecasts been?

They have been surprisingly accurate this summer. The few days they have been off it has been hotter than they predicted.

hmmm, that old?!:grin:
I can remember when dad got our first color TV, exciting times!

Also guilty of age on that count! My grandparents had color TV a few years before we did---I remember watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade over there before we got a color set ...

Hmm.... I am trying to picture you in this commercial. The tough guy who goes hunting and fishing takes bubble baths.

We can use Calgon, but we have to bathe in snake-infested pond water to keep from being sissyfied. cheesy

 

[Meceka]

Good evening!

I hope you are having a great day!

I am going to do dishes and then relax as it is too hot to do much of anything else. I finished "The Hanging Tree" - it was better than the first one in the series. My latest book to read is "Devil's Food Cake Murder" - book 16 in the Hannah Svenson series. There are several recipes included and later this year, there will be a cookbook companion put out cheesy

Good night and pleasant dreams!!!!!!!!!

Good Saturday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

It's been hot and humid down here today, whew. I went to Lowe's and bought some more deck lumber today. I had NO IDEA it was going to end up being so expensive, but I can't stop now. I gotta finish it.

Now we're heading to mom's for spaghetti. She makes the best sauce!

I hope y'all have a great evening! cheesy

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Saturday!

Oh...my...goodness! I'm just...soooooooooo...tired!!!

I won't be here for very long as I am completely and utterly exhausted!

I've been suffering from insomnia this past week - and I don't know why yet. So - last night I got about 3.5 - 4 hours sleep (closer to the 3.5 hours though), and hubby and I had a golf date this morning!

Golf was super fun - but after not sleeping...and all that exercise and fresh air...and all that sun - well...stick a fork in me - I'm done! I'm cooked!

Just wanted to pop in a wish you all a merry night!

I had a loooong response and then it disappeared! LOL - oh well! Anyway, I am tired, too ChristmasHeart!

Someone in my town snapped a shot of what looks like a funnel cloud from the storm last night.. we walked around looking at the damage. Many, many LARGE uprooted trees. I think 2 hit homes, but thankfully no one was hurt. No answer yet if it was a tornado, though... It really freaked me out! I have an irrational fear of tornadoes, which is odd because I live in Pennsylvania, so it scared me!

Word Problem help:

You find the labels (nouns) and you look to see if the labels are the same or really different. If the labels are ALL the same, then you will either add or subtract. If the labels are different, you will either multiply or divide. Now, division has what the researcher calls a D2: If the labels are the SAME on top and different on bottom, then you know it will be a division problem as well. They also have to look for clue words in the story problem and circle and underline (circle numbers ~ underline labels). Students write CW above any clue words. This is what it looks like when they show their work:

(CW) CW
Sheila had 4 apples. Brian had 9 apples. How many apples do they in all? (CW)

4 apples
9 apples
____________
? apples

**All labels are the same & your clue word tells us IN All; therefore, we will add to solve. This is also how you would set up a subtraction problem ~ of course, your clue words are different.


(CW) (CW)
Sheila and her 4 friends have 30 apples to share equally. How many apples
will Sheila and each of her friends receive?

4 friends + Sheila = 5 friends


30 apples

__________

? apples
**The labels are different; therefore, I know I'm going to multiply or
divide. The clue word tells me EACH friend will receive. So, I now, this will be a division problem since they are sharing them equally.

Multiplication labels will also look like the above example....

**Division 2 looks like this: same label
same label
____________
different label

I studied it some more and I believe I get it now! :dance:
