My week so far

Yesterday I had "oral surgery" which is a nicer way of saying I had 8 teeth yanked from my head ;-/ I underwent general anesthesia so the process was painless. So far I have some swelling but no significant pain. I took two Vicodin yesterday, one right away after I woke up and got to the pharmacy and one later in the evening before bed. So far today I have not felt like I needed to use it. I have been taking Ibuprofen for the inflammation but that is all. I'm on a course of penicillin during the healing. On Friday I'm going in to my primary dentist, hopefully to get the dentures that should have been ready yesterday. Though I'm "missing" those teeth now it's not much different really since they were mostly gone anyway. At the start of the new year our company switched dental insurance and for a while there they were trying to deny service to me because I needed to wait 12 months. However, after working with our company, they decided to waive that provision, it really would have been unfair not to and they saw that. As a result instead of another thousand dollars I would have had to pay I ended up paying only twenty dollars over what I'd already paid.

Yesterday afternoon Serenity's former school called up to ask where she was, they hadn't yet received our letter from last week. I informed them that she is now attending Serenity School. The person on the phone said they would miss her because they all loved her, but wished us well, she was very nice about it actually. We'll see if they send the records or not, though I don't see that as vital anyway.

So now things are calming down for me, the combination of starting Serenity School and having teeth pulled was really stressing me out there for a while. Oh, there was one other thing, I was worried about and that was how our day care provider, Natalie, would react to the idea of our homeschooling Serenity but she was very positive and seemed to think the idea was wonderful. She even said we can send work with her on her days there if we want to and she will help out!

Prayers are requested that we might continue to settle into our new lifestyle without too much anguish, so far the Lord has given us smooth sailing.

Thanks be to God.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
