I haven't done a parade yet in my Mini. Her first one is going to be the Fourth of July parade in Parkville, MO. I was going to do it last year but I was having some overheating issues and didn't want her sitting still for too long..

You should write letters, call lawyers, call councilmen, call the school board, call the news reporters. With the state of the education system as is, anything that is positive but the schools change will get a lot of negative publicity. Use your power of words, girl....
Oh, and get other parents involved.
Son just called from school. His math teacher, the guy that made my kid start doing well in math again... was just notified that his contract is not being renewed for next year.
He's the only math teacher that school has, and the kids get good grades and succeed in his class. They said his teaching methods were unorthodox and the district did not approve... it makes me want to write nasty letters and call lawyers. It's not right!

Hey peoples,
not sure who was looking for a Riley Elf, maybe Miniola?
There's one on the market place.

Just found out my son did not have the entire story... the whole story is that this teacher applied for a transfer because of differences with school administration. He'll still have a job. At least, he would have if my son hadn't pasted the school with flyers about how his firing was wrong...
He's been suspended from school for two days for this stunt. Gah.. I just can't seem to get a break with this kid. Do you think they'll let me throw him back?

Yep... I am the Elf girl.
I think I saw this one last year sometime... don't remember where though.
I don't have any room for it now. I've got to sell my '05 Cabrio first and also I'd like for my 530i lease to be over. Even then... I'm still thinking I'm not "ready" yet.
MINIxB- I won't be upset if you go for it!
Geez- TNMM you've been a busy girl today!
Hi Freebies! Welcome new guys!
RD I totally loved your pic that looked like you found Jesus on the Dragon! It really made me laugh... you looked like you were having SO much fun.

V: Licorice tea, switching to water from soda, reducing the sugar intake today and vacuuming the house from top to bottom seemed to help loads. Still can't step outside without feeling the hit to my system, but at least I can function in my house!
My daughter had interesting news for me when she got home too.. she said she was pretty sure that we hadn't vacuumed the entire house in at least two weeks...

That's GREAT RG! Sometimes just a few little things can make such a difference.
When we built our home, we didn't put a rug in anywhere- have a few throw rugs, but they can get thrown into the wash... My biggest thing is the screens... they're currently yellow from pollen (and they're on the INSIDE of the windows).
You'll get to the point where you'll get good outside. If you have to go out for right now, try wearing a mask... they're obnoxious, but they help.
Oh, and the NETI pot... I have a love/hate relationship with mine, but when I need it, it makes a HUGE difference. The idea is that shouldn't feel like you're drowning nor should you feel like it burns in your sinuses. Takes a few times to get the mixture right. but then it's great!

I always tell my kids that they're being sent back to Detroit for a newer model.

That being said, she's small, likes small things (sample size stuff, ultra small Ben & Jerry's ice cream, whatever)...so she likes it because it is so small. She's not allowed to drive Betty though

Hilarious! I was worried the g/f would flip when I said I wanted to get a classic...and not sell the '06 (yet). She was okay with it...so she HAS to be a keeper!

Hubband isn't allowed to drive the MINI unless it's desperate circumstances, either.

(My honey would never buy anything American built. He drives an xB like me and he wants a classic Mini too. He knows a good car when he see's it.)
