Hope you enjoyed it. I would love to see all y'all's answers!

Tag!

I've been tagged by Mrs. S! So, here it goes. :)

Do you have any special Christmas goodies that you like to make every year?

Last year I made sugar cookies for our neighbors, and I'm looking forward to doing that again this year.

Do you send Christmas cards? Photo? Letter?

We give cards to the neighbors with their cookies. In the past, my wonderful sister MissJo has put together a letter and rounded us all up for a photo, but we haven't done that in a couple of years.


Do you have a favorite Christmas or birthday gift that you received as a child?


I loved my American Girl doll that my grandparents got for me on my birthday. I also loved my stuffed little black puppy my other grandparents gave me.


What was your favorite subject in school? Is it your favorite to teach?

I'm really enjoying my speech class, I love violin, and I'm actually enjoying Spanish. And I've never taught anything, so I wouldn't know.


Are you a morning person or a night person?

Definitely a night owl.


What is one thing you wish you had more time to do?

I don't wish I had more time to do anything. Twenty four hours in a day is plenty for me.


What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Chocolate chip cookie dough.


Do you make your bed every day?

Nope.

Well, I'm off to write my speech that I have to give on Friday. G'night!

For Frisbee Man:

I'm Still Here

I'm still alive and well. :) I've just been really busy. Last weekend was the state homeschool convention. Now I'm trying to get school all caught up and figured out for next year. We found a chemistry book at the UBS for $1 because the previous owner had doodled in it. So Mom said since it had already been doodled in, she didn't care if I doodled in it. :) I've already done some doodling of my own. :) This is the first school book of mine that I've been allowed to doodle in. It's rather fun. :) On the school note, Dad got some programming books at the convention and I'll be doing those next year!

Okay, I never posted the answer to this question, but I'm finally getting around to it. :)

Two numbers, both under 1000, are only one number apart. The lowest common multiple of the two numbers is 996003 more than the higher number. What are the two numbers?

And the answer is:

998 and 999

Blogger is having a photo problem. It won't let me see half of my pictures and it won't let me upload any. Blogger's technical team needs to get busy and fix the problem.

Just Brilliant

It's good to know where to find something you don't know. Most people (and I do it too) look things up on the internet. It can be very helpful sometimes. But I think the below is a little overkill. Judge for yourself.

From http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/tools/symptom/545.html:

35. Do you have a blue or black area on your skin, and did the discoloration occur after the area had been hit?

If you answer yes, this is the wisdom they share.

This is probably a BRUISE.

Naw, really, you don't say. :)

Yuck!

Blockage leads to sewer spill at Lake Peachtree

Help

I can't figure blogger out. I read the help topics for friend connect, but I can't even find the page that it says to be on to start changing my settings.

So, can someone please help? When I follow someone's blog, I can't figure out how to get it to show my profile picture instead of a little bubble person. I figured out how to make a poll that never closes, but I can't figure out how to make one that does close. I can't figure out how to get a list on the side of my blog of all the blogs I'm subscribed to. And I'm not about to go changing the look of my blog. Thankfully though, that's the one thing I like just the way it is. :)

Any help or hints about blogger would be greatly appreciated.
