It appears from my observation that those who answer the Wordplay questions from writers such as Sunshine and even the Pun question writers (too many names to quote) in a negative or cynical way do not understand the concept of Wordplay challenges. Do you (those just described) not have a playful and imaginative mind? If you do not then don't anwer those questions. Wordplay questions are just as valid as any "I want to know" questions. I anticipate a negative response to this question by several of you. I am sure the regular Wordplayers themselves will have some thoughtful and positive answers to this question. Thanks in advance to all who can contribute positively to my question. I will be giving BA to the person who can give a positive, intelligent and encouraging response.

My first husband and I divorced six years ago. We have two boys, who are now age 10 and 8. We keep a 'friendship' so to speak for our sons sake. Four years ago my eldest son wanted to go and live with his dad, and then my younger boy did as well. So, they have been living with their father, stepmother (who's a special educator) and now, new baby sister. Their Stepmother came to me about two years ago and asked if Jake (the younger boy) had been evaluated for Learning Disabilities at his school. I said no. She and my ex took him to an educational psychologist who determined that Jake has a 'Nonverbal Learning Disability'.His father and Stepmother have always taken care of this and made sure his needs were met at school. Since the arrival of his new sister 6 months ago, Jake has wanted to move back home with me, and is doing so next month. I don't really understand what a 'Nonverbal Learning Disability' is. I mean he may not always respond how you'd expect and 8 year old to, but he is very

I never thought about this before until now;

At every school that I will be applying to, I will be considered "out of state" and will have to pay somewhere between an extra $2,000-7,000/year to attend.


But in the state of Colorado, for example, you only have to live in the state for one year to be considered in-state. Soo, come sophomore year and on, I'm automatically in-state, right?

--I know, stupid question, but with this college stuff, you never know.--

All of the classes at the Red Cross are filled and I need CPR certification. I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not CPR certification that is received via the internet would be valid for going to school to become an EMT. I am not asking for people to SPECULATE on whether it will work or not. It'd be best if someone has experience with this whether it be from work or school.

The assignment is to find a way to give insight into your life in under 100 words. I wasn’t sure if this was good enough, so I want to hear what you guys think. Is it good? Is it bad? Too choppy? Clear? Convuluted? Do you get the message, or is it obscure? What can I do to make this better?

Two years ago, the first acquaintance I made at my new school was a rock. Being myself, I didn’t know what to make of people. I’d kick a rock around instead. It was simple, I didn’t have to guess what it meant. One year ago, I met somebody on the bus. He asked questions, told jokes and seemed mildly enthusiastic. I was skeptical. Once he asked if I thought he was making fun of me. I didn’t know how to respond. “I don’t do that kind of stuff,” he reassured me. It seemed pretty simple, despite all my guesswork.

I noticed this response from a poster

"Did you ever think about the fact that you'll never know more than your dad (or parents) if you do this? Really, you'll never get to learn anything more than they can teach you. At least at school you have several teachers, different perspectives, and lots of opportunities to make friends."

And I was rather dumbfounded by it. Would any of you brilliant homeschoolers write a response to this?

All I can say is how many times a day I am amazed at the things my children know that I never taught them!
