Bah! *What a load of cods wallop ! *Perhaps kids should stay in utero until they are adults ? Stay in utero until adults!!! Thanks for my laugh for the morning! Donna in Virginia |

Actually, it has been in a big 2 gal plastic bag for a couple of years, so hasn't got dusty. The framer has to make a small frame that matches the original (stitched about 10 years ago), and will be a "dangle". Jim had upgraded his Ham license, and had a new callsign AB4JM (he figured he could remember his initials). Nyssa, frm At Rivers Edge" charted it for me and sent it as an email. She is a Ham too, like both of us. Gill I just want to say - you are one prolific gal of late! Very inspiring, and congrats on all the finishes. Ellice |

The upper and middle class Victorians had the right idea. The children had a nanny so the parents only saw the kids for a few minutes every day until they were almost ready to marry. Bruce I think their motives were different though lol My second cousin, in London, is a Nanny. She has worked for a French family, living in London, for several years. I think the kids range from 5-11.......and she started when the eldest was 10 weeks old. The family wanted the children to grow up totally bilingual, and totally familiar with the British culture. She is 33...and takes such pride (parental) in the youngsters accomplishments. Gill |

C That's kind of sad. Working on a badge together as a troop can be fun but it was also fun to work alone on a badge that the other girls may not have been really interested in. When I was a GS leader, and we were stationed in Scotland, I made a list of all the badges that had one or two parts that just needed completion, and stuck it on the frig. Whenever the DD whined "There's nothing to do"..I pointed her to the list. My asst leader, a Norwegian woman, did the same thing with her daughter. As a result, they earned more badges than the other kids, but that was because of "The List!" Actually that was a lot of fun because the two of us participated in events with the local Girl Guide leaders. Gill |
