does every Vox sponsored ad include cleavage? Massive amounts of cleavage.. Maybe it's just me but most of my neighborhood is made up of women, why do they only seem to market to boys?
*Edit* I should mention that I didn't use the word boys to be derogatory to men. I used boys because I can't imagine any of the men in my neighborhood clicking those ads. Mostly because most of them are married and love their wives to pieces.
(Hey..don't judge my handwriting. I'm left handed and the white boards on the right side of the fridge. I've got to write while fighting with the door handle. )
13 years! (17 total if you're counting..I'm counting, no way I'll live to be 80. I just hope I die first.)
I had this great idea. I was gonna get a bunch of pictures of us, from babies, to kids, to teenagers, when we first got together, married, pregnant...blah blah blah..you get the idea and make a video. Only after going through 3,475,207 pictures, those particular pictures don't exist. I've got tons of pictures of DeWitte but hardly any of us together. That's because I'm the picture taker around here. Maybe I'll do something like that for his birthday.
Now I'd better go put this stuff away. It looks like a thousand photo albums threw up on my living room floor.
Because it makes me laugh...
Happy Holidays!
Thanks so much for answering those questions last night. People got enough right that I didn't make Nathan think up any more. Hopefully the people at his school are as smart as you guys (not that I'm betting on that..just hoping.) and they can get through the game before they run out of questions.

Thanks again, that was really helpful.
Nathan had to make or do something for the last day of camp (a skit, a poem, stuff like that) based on an historic (I should say American, to save all you Canadian folks the trouble.) figure. He decided to make a board game about George Washington (with my help of course..thanks camp people!). Anyway, kids and adults are going to play this game tomorrow and I'm worried he doesn't have enough true and false questions (he's (we've!) worked so hard on this, I want it to go really well for him.). He'll have time to make up a few more in the morning but I don't want (or need) that kind of stress if I don't have to, neither one of us are morning people.
So, could you please give me your best answeres to the following questions (and please don't look it up, I need to know if people really know the answers or not..if people don't, he needs to make up more questions.).
They're all true or false. And, yeah, pardon some of the double negatives, I let him make up his own questions.

Dang..I thought there were 20.
I now know more about George Washington than I ever thought I'd need or want to know. Thankfully, though, I love history so this wasn't as much of a chore it would have been if I'd have had to help build a robot or something like that. Robots are fourth grade, by then I won't be able to keep up.
