locomama: that sounds like fun...I think decorating is the best! Dharma: what good memories! "...you can have Christmas any day you want it. Even in July, if you feel like it." That is so true. It's the people and memories that count.

You should take your show on the road! Here's what happened: In the state of NY, it is a requirement that children are to attend rotating school lessons and their performing arts ensemble. The lessons rotate, so that the child will not be missing the same class within an 8 week period. We are also required to have playing tests. I have made it a rule that if you do not play off your tests, the kids can't play in the concert. I c

**Inspired by Shovelheat** Okay JU...I want to know. What Christmas is your most memorable Christmas? Last year would have to be mine. Hardin and I spent the day in NYC. We stopped at a bar and had bailey's and hot cocoa. We then went to Ground Zero and over the Brooklyn Bridge. On the way home it started to snow. The second we got home we star

You guys are the freaking Partridge Family! hehe. I wish I had more parents who encouraged music in their homes like you do! I get the "It's only band/chorus" phonecall at least once a week. I almost quit my job because of an awful parent on Tuesday. Rock on!

R- You are such a sweetie...this idea for an article is so theraputic for everyone involved. I figured out a way to get my general music kids to behaive---It;s all about competitions. I have a competition for the best classroom behavior. That has seemed to really take care of their disrespectfullness. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better!

One Year Ago Today... in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Today is the one year anniversary of my marriage to Hardin. Boy does time fly! I couldn't ask for a better person to spend my life with. Since the moment we met back in 2001, I knew he was special. He did one thing that no one else had ever done before. He taught me how to laugh. Humility is very important in life. Being able to laugh at yourself, and

dharma: Isn't it sick? It's so good to read that one youngin' (shea) is free thinking. That is one thing I thank God that my mom pushed me to do...think for myself... It's like these tramps are just laughing and spitting in the face of the mothers of women's rights. It's awful. Marcie: Isn't that show the worst? But I want THAT car. I want THAT dress....and you're absolutley right...the parents encorage it.

Are Buffalo Wings really Made from a Buffalo?! in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I believe the mind is a beautiful thing and a precious entity to waste. Each and every day I strive to be as smart as I possibly can. I am by no means Albert Einstein. I am a reader, an artist, and a free thinker. If I do not know something, I do not pretend to know it, but I do look it up. I encourage my students to do the same. If they do not know the answer t

Don't forget to go to "Dego Hill" and get some good food! They have some kick ass Italian resturaunts and second hand shops out that way. St. Louis is a cool place...Hardin has some relatives out that way. I'm glad to hear you are regaining yourself. It's important to not lose yourself...I am going through similar things, myself. Like you, I'm quirky...I like to dress a certain way...and I like to wear my hair in a mohawk on occasion, bu

President Bush is busy throwing money away on the search for "weapons of mass destruction," while the avain flu threatens to wipe out the US. And to think, all of that money being spent on keeping friends and family way for something that has been labled as not being true could have been spent on a vaccine...... How can there be a war on a concept,
