Resolved Question: Ideas for a family vacation indoors for my husband and children?
My family is getting cabin fever after a long winter of snow and as you can imagine we are tired off all outside snow play also. My husband and I are getting snappy at each other and need a break. In the past vacation or an inside vacation has helped these circumstances. We cannot go anywhere this weekend and the weather outside is going to be too bad to be out . I am looking for ideas that would be fun for my husband and the children. We have a 4 year old and a nine month old. We have had a camp in before and set up a tent and made indoor smores. We have done movie and pizza night and game night also. What are some ideas that we could do and all of us feel like it is a getaway. It has to be in our home.
Resolved Question: what is your opinion of article “Class Dismissed”?
what is your opinion of walter kirn’s article “Class Dismissed”
in the article he talks about how 12th grade is a waste of time and money and how we shouldn’t included that year and just go off to gollege.
here’s a copy of the article
According to the unwritten constitution that governs ordinary American life and makes possible a shared pop culture that even new immigrants can jump right into after a few movies and a trip to the mall, the senior year of public high school is less a climactic academic experience than an occasion for oafish goofing off, chronic truancy, random bullying, sloppy dancing in rented formalwear and interludes of moody, wan philosophizing (often at sunrise while still half-drunk and staring off at a misty river or the high-school parking lot) about the looming bummer of adulthood. In films like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Dazed and Confused” and “High School Musical 3,” senior year is a do-little sabbatical from what is presented as the long dull labor of acquiring knowledge, honing skills and internalizing social norms. It’s a spree, senior year, that discharges built-up tensions. It’s an adolescent Mardi Gras. And it’s not an indulgence but an entitlement. Remember that line in your yearbook? Seniors rule! And they rule not because they’ve accomplished much, necessarily (aside from surviving to age 18 or so and not dropping out or running away from home), but because it’s tradition, and seniors crave tradition. They crave it because they know, deep down, they’re lost, and tradition helps them hide this fear. From juniors.

Room for Debate: A Diploma in 10th Grade?
Data source (top left): U.S. Department of Education, 2005
Human Empire
This year of licensed irresponsibility, this two-semester recurring national holiday, was threatened recently in Utah by a Republican legislator’s proposal to do away with 12th grade entirely. The idea was advanced as a budget-cutting measure — a way to shave millions from the cash-strapped state’s expense sheet — and it called forth the sort of instant, intense hostility that often signals that an inspired notion, truly innovative, truly new, has, by some miracle, entered politics. The proposal drew scorn from teachers and students alike (another tribute to its possible genius) and swiftly spread across the news wires, eliciting such hostility and controversy that its sponsor flinched. Aware, perhaps, that his offbeat plan was drawing unwelcome attention to a state that has spent the modern era in a permanent defensive crouch thanks to a Mormon religious culture that many view as joyless and eccentric, the lawmaker suggested that 12th grade — that ritual time out from the march of time itself — be made optional rather than nonexistent.
But did he compromise too readily? For many American high-school seniors, especially the soberest and most studious, senior year is a holding pattern, a redundancy, a way of running out the clock on a game that has already been won. When winter vacation rolls around, many of them, thanks to college early-admissions programs, know all they need to about their futures and have no more reason to hang around the schoolhouse than prehistoric fish had need for water once they grew limbs and could crawl out of the oceans. As for students who aren’t headed to four-year colleges but two-year community colleges or vocational schools, why not just get started early and read “Moby Dick” for pleasure, if they wish, rather than to earn a grade that they don’t need? Kids who plan to move right into the labor force are in the same position. They may as well spend the whole year in detention — which some of them, bored and restless, end up doing. Twelfth grade, for the sorts of students I’ve just described, amounts to a fidgety waiting period that practically begs for descents into debauchery and concludes in a big dumb party under a mirror ball that spins in place like the minds of those beneath it.
It’s not just one Utah lawmaker who has noticed this. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has, too, it seems. In the interest of speeding students on their way to productive, satisfying careers, the foundation intends to give a $1.5 million grant to a project organized by the nonprofit National Center on Education and the Economy. The goal is to help certain students leapfrog the keg party and go directly from 10th grade to community colleges after passing a battery of tests. The goal is not to save money but precious time, and the program is modeled on systems now in place in Denmark, Finland, France and Singapore — countries whose young folk, in many cases, speak English more grammatically than a lot of American high-school seniors do. One of the fledgling program’s backers, Terry Holliday, Kentucky’s commissioner of education, calls the program’s approach “move on when ready.” Compared with the prevailing current system, which might be termed “move on when all your friends do” or “move on when s
Resolved Question: Question on home Propane heater tanks (rent/buy/prices) ?
I live in the Northeast US where winters can get fairly cold, and occasionally we lose power thus making our home heating furnace useless. We have a propane powered wall-mounted ‘space heater’ thats been in the house for many years – it also still has the copper line running out to where the propane tank used to be. Many years ago propane was economical to purchase & keep in tanks outside the house. Recently of course propane has gotten extremely expensive. My family had the gas co come out and disconnect their outside propane tank and return it, because it was just used for emergencies, therefore we could go for a year or 2 without needing a fill-up of propane (so they made no money on that) – and also the gas co charged an annual tank rental fee which started getting very expensive too. I would really like to have this heater functional again, as a backup in case of electric loss in winter. Does anyone know of a way to keep a tank at home that would hold enough propane to atleast run the space heater for say a day or 2 if power went out? For instance I see Ace Hardware sells a 100 lb verticle propane tank cylinder for $120. Could I buy that, then have a gas company come out and fill it? Just trying to figure out the most economical way to do this – (no rental fee’s, no gas co contracts, etc) Some gas co’s nowdays even charge a “non-use” fee for people who do not use enough gas to make it worth their while !! Nothing’s easy any more is it ? Thanks for any tips – maybe people with large travel trailers, vacation homes/cabins, etc have had some experience in this and give me some help & ideas – Thanks !!

Mad & Bolig:
Oooooh I have some gorgeous inspiration for you today from a magazine that is new-to-me called Mad & Bolig published in Denmark. The more I see Danish magazines, the more I want to drive up north to visit a country that obviously has amazing taste and style. Mad & Bolig is a magazine that I found today via the lovely artist Sidsel Gaustadnes who authors the Spagat blog (please be sure to visit her blog!).
But yes, back to this fab magazine… as I sit here and get lost in the virtual pages of Mad & Bolig I’m starting to feel like the winter lull will soon be over and perhaps then I’ll feel motivated to travel. I’m excited to plan some Summer vacations up north because I’ve never stepped foot into Denmark and I think going there would be just delightful. Plus, why move to Europe and not see these places, right? Many of our German friends drive up and stay in vacation homes on the Danish coast, it’s pretty common for the northern Germans I think — so perhaps I’ll join them. But for now, until I can be there myself, I will bask in the glow of the beautiful Danish magazines that I’m finding online. Ah.
Don’t you just love these rooms? They make me daydream of owning a summer cottage by the shore. Fresh, colorful, position — each injected with such spirit and personality.
