DISQUS

Rebecca, Thanks for your comments. The main reason I asked if Wallyhood would be willing to post on this is because I'd like to find the other families in the same situation. I know they are out there because we are #5 on the waiting list for first grade and because last year the waiting list was huge inside the reference area and the #1 kid on the waiting list lived so close by the school. I've only know JSIS to have taken 1 first grader in the few years that I've watched this, so I don't feel all that confident about our chances to get into the existing first grade.

We've thought about the impact of the switch on our son, but I think back on when I was in K and I don't remember much about it. However, I do remember a lot about my neighborhood elementary school from 2nd/3rd grade on and feel strongly that a switch now will have very short term impact but going to elementary school outside the neighborhood for the entire 6 years will have a very long term impact (primarily because this is what happened to me).

If you know of any families who are on the first grade waiting list or are interested in JSIS for first grade but figure there is little hope, please have them contact me or let me know if I can contact them.

Thanks again, Becky

does osheaga only happen in montreal?

I was there. I went this year too. I happen to be one of those bloody kids you wrote about. Crowd surfing got me dropped on my head. Rushed to the z100 booth (my meeting place with my friends) then rushed on a stretcher to the medical tent. Then I had to go home =/ Highly upsetting because I still had about 5 hours left of the festival, but it didn't stop me from going back this year!

anyone hear anything about virgin fest 2009??

anyone have any idea whos headlining virgin fest this year? dont think anything official has been posted? if anyones heard anything would love to hear it!

Golly, you read a lot! Now I want to check out my list...

Great list - really useful, thanks for compiling. Twitter is an essential tool for communicators right now and these extras are what makes it really valuable.

tee hee, yay!

I just saw the movie last night, and I love your analysis--right on! I must admit I was a little embarrassed by the fact that I almost cried over two robots in a movie. But I suppose the themes are real even if the characters are not. :)

Ryan, I think it's an interesting idea to pursue (even though I'm disqualified :)). One difference I see between JPG Mag and the usual wine blog fodder is that they are specializing in images which aren't like wine blog topics in that they don't get beaten to death within 2 weeks of first hitting the internet. They're more timeless. I'm sure your Editorial panel could find some timeless themes for this project as well--photography comes to mind, wine travel pieces, reviews, etc.
As for credentials, etc I think Richard has a point... Also, if I may play devil's advocate, another point that was made in the Winecast Unfiltered was that one of the advantages bloggers have over print media is the immediacy of the medium which you'd loose in this kind of format.

I just peed in my panties. So freaking hilarious.

Peer pressure. Cliques. Not just a teen experience, is it? Be true to yourself, what you feel called to do, and put God and and family he entrusted to you, and he will bless your life!

Off hand, I'd deduce you're an Anne Perry fan! ;-)

Looking forward to the reviews. And yes, I'm one of the late joiners, so I'm all for the better late slogan!

"He has his perfect timing in everything. " Wow. This is one of my greatest struggles. My timing and God's timing has never jived, yet his is perfect, so I keep learning to give in to him. Thanks for a great post.

I don't believe this applies to me since I don't use blogger - but thanks for the link!

Hi Laurel! Just stopping in to say hello! Thanks for the beach...I needed that! :) Happy Partying!

I'm a lurker...occassional commenter! :) Thanks for the cookies and for the blessing. I needed that!

The BSMW message board is a separate place from the front page blog. The message board can go shrill at times, but the blog is always good.


The mod you mention is on the messageboard.

I don't know if it is anyway similar but your story kind of reminded me of when I had my wisdom teeth cut out and then got a "dry socket" - owie! ((hugs))

There are so many lessons we can learn from Job's life. Thanks for sharing your take on this quote.

You are so right...time is most important because there is so little of it to go around. I loved all of the tips you posted. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
