Oh my goodness, yes. My husband sometimes cannot tell TL and I apart when he walks in the house and sees someone's back. We have the same hair color and about the same length, same height, etc. And on the phone, when TL answers, she has to identify herself, as she sound exactly like me on the phone. Even my husband cannot tell us apart anymore. It throws people off.

The other day Ashley said, "I forget how low Brandon's voice is until I hear him in there singing" LOL
Poor TL. I hope none of those tops were her favorites. Of course, if it's just the neckline there are ways to fix it, but if they are too tight, that's tough. I went from nothing to a D in the summer between 7th and 8th and didn't quite realize that there were things I needed to do differently 
Well, Cynthia, you did beat me this morning! LOL--but I showered before I got here, so I am doing better than yesterday. I wasn't going to but an old co-worker called to see if I wanted to do lunch and I figured she'd appreciate it if I smelled nice  Plus there are things I want to get started on here at the house. Ash and I began on the kitchen yesterday.

Uhhhh I think I may have just stumbled onto something...
Mr. B called here a bit ago and asked how I was and what the kids were up to and if i had figured out that my dental appt was NOT a april fools joke. I finally asked Mr. B why he called- what he wanted. he said he was bored and trill was in class and he was waiting on his brother who was in the library.
Last night I answered Trills phone because she was not in the room with it and I was and he thought I was her. No he did not say anything embarassing. But they did go on and on for a bit about how freaky alike we sound on the phone. Poor guy is calling her mom LOL that's kinda odd. I did hand the phone to triss and tell her if Mr. B called back bored she could talk to him. She laughed maniacally and said SURE THING!
BUT that won't happen as I am about to go to the dreaded dental appt. pray I don't freak out and that the dentist understands that I REALLY am terrified

Heather is starting to sound like me on the phone too. Anymore when my dad calls and she answers, he's not sure if it's me or her that he's talking to, so he always asks now.

Praying, Ezri. I have a fair amount of dental phobia too, so I understand how hard this is for you.

I am praying ez.
I am so surprised that your kids never took you up on that sonnet thing. David got right to work on it, and he doesn't have as good of a deal as you gave your kids. Your kids are very talented that way even.

Prize Draw Guidelines for HSLDA/NHERI Academic Study
February 7, 2008
Dear Homeschool Parent:
We are conducting a new large-scale study of homeschooling across the United States and would like your family to participate. This project is being administered cooperatively by Dr. Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) and Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA). It will be the largest and most in-depth study ever conducted on homeschool families and their academic ability.
To participate you must have ordered a test from either BJU Press, Family Learning Organization, Piedmont Education Services, or Seton Testing Services.
The results will help homeschool organizations better serve homeschool families, inform lawmakers, policymakers, and the general public about the benefits of a home-based education, and encourage those who choose to homeschool.
Your responses will be confidential. All the organizations mentioned above intimately understand the privacy concerns of homeschoolers. Participation is, of course, voluntary but we need all families to participate, regardless of your children’s academic abilities.
To add an incentive for a timely response, we are offering the following three prizes.
First prize: iPod
Second prize: $100 Visa Gift Card, or free two-year HSLDA membership
Third Prize: $50 Visa Gift Card, or free one-year HSLDA membership

Oh well. Mine is too little to test.
Hope the dentist went well, Ez.
Obviously I got confused by the new avatars too since in the March thread I got Zoe and Annie mixed up-about who was making rattatouille!
Judii,
I know my daughter will be taller than I. My teen and young adult nieces and nephew are all taller than me.
I usually have to end up getting the next size up for my blessing in order to get the right length. Dresses especially. Last week I noticed that some of her dressess she now has trouble getting her arms through-they're getting a bit tight-so now she is two sizes above her age.

This is David's Sonnet- first draft:
Was to ride into battle,
The daring knight.
He got his saddle,
In the middle of the night.
He was going to fight
With shield and sword
To make wrong turn to right
With God's Holy Word.
With a prayer to the Lord
He charged into war,
Took blade from scabbard,
Ready to spar,
And displaying his courage,
Fought for his village.
AAAAAH! Now I have to learn about sonnets so I can grade this thing!

Sort of new here, at least I've never posted on the chat thread.
So do you guys all know each other IRL or what?
My boys are the same height and basic size so everybody mixes them up unless they know them really well.
I have no interesting avatar or signature but I enjoyed the "Who Moved My Scepter" title the best.

So far, I have not personally met anyone else here IRL. I think that Jenny-Fair and Cynthia live the closest to me and that would still be at least a day's drive.
Narnia, I'm doing alright. I can't go into details, but lets just say that there is a huge spiritual battle going on in my house. I'm praying and fasting over this. I don't think that ever in my life have I had to be so dependent on the Lord as I am right now. So that's in in a nutshell.

Poor girl. Her wardrobe has now been slashed almost overnight.
I wish I had thought it up first!
Sorry Bagel. I think that is the first time I have messed names up so badly in this thread. 
It amazes me when I can give him one direction (research and write a sonnet) and not only does he do it, but he wrote about THAT topic. It didn't surprise me that he wrote about a knight, but that he made it so meaningful and not silly. He is way more motivated to take stuff like that on than I ever was at his age.
