Good morning, Terre. ^_^

I'll be on for a little while longer, but we'll be leaving the house in a couple of hours, and then the rat race begins! LOL

And we are back out of the mountains for today. ;)

Have to drive back into them again tomorrow, but home for the day today. Don't know how much constructive work I will get done, though. I've been awake for 36 hours now. I might end up just doing a play render or something today... LOL

Sounds like you need a good long nap.
You mentioned a reservation. If you don't mind my asking, which one?

Well, today was just a trip into the mountains for house hunting. We are both wanting to get out of this city and into someplace a little more remote...

As far as reservations - think Washington STATE (not D.C.). S'Klallam. ;) I am on literally the other end of the country these days, and have been for at least twenty years. Not because I wanted to be, but because that's just where I ended up. I spent the earlier part of my life splitting my time half the year out west with one family member, and the other half of the year on the east coast with the other... too dang much bouncing around, split/shared custody arrangements and all of that... blech.

I used to fight having to go back east... and I never quite came out of the mountains, I suppose. Or maybe I should say the mountains have never quite been taken out of the girl. LOL

And then in my early teens, my brother got full legal guardianship, and I didn't have to split between the two sides of the country anymore... but I flaked out at sixteen and took off... scared the crap out of him (though typical teen I didn't "see" that at the time, I thought I was doing him a "favor").

I can chuckle at it now, but yeah. I've bounced all over the place. And honestly, that's the area that I'm the most comfortable in... really want to get back out there again at some point. Maybe when our daughter has left the nest we can look at it again.

Shared custody. Ugh. Good for the parents but not always for the kids.
One boy I knew many years ago wanted to spend the school year with his dad in Albuquerque New Mexico and the summer with his mother somewhere in Nevada. Unfortunately the divorce hadn't been in NM so he couldn't say "I'm 13, I get to chose." He had to spend 6 months with each parent. He hated having to change schools in mid school year.

Yep, it was a right mess... and by the time my brother took over, I was not exactly a social butterfly. I'm all good now, but yeah, he worked his tail off for me to get there. Love the man to bits. LOL

Anyway. I think I am going to sign off here... saved the draft for the product submission form; drawing a blank on what to do with the banner images yet, so I'm going to take that as a sign that my brain is telling me to curl up under fuzzy blankets somewhere. ;)

I'll be back on later this evening, probably. At least for a little while. For now, this she-wolf is going to den up with her pack for a little while. LOL

Ouch, that must've been awful for him. We moved when I was in my last year of the grade school I had attended since 1st grade, but we moved into a co-op my parents bought, and they gave us the moving day, so we moved on June 1st, and my dad registered me for one month, and it turned out the new school went to the 8th grade, instead of the 6th grade as the school I had been going to did.

So I missed my first graduation by a month, and had to wait another 2 years before I could graduate from the new school. Needless to say, for an eleven-year-old, it was upsetting, because I wanted to graduate with my friends from the school in our old neighborhood.

That would have been very disappointing. :(
Meanwhile I had never heard of graduation from anything other than HS until moving to Portales. When I was in school in the Albuquerque area APS didn't have graduations for Grade and Middle schools. I think they probably do now.

They've always had it here, but now-a-days, what I would've called Junior High, is now called Intermediate.

Back then if you graduated from 6th grade, you went on to a Junior High school, and then entered High School as a sophomore. With the 8th grade schools, you just went right into High School as a freshman. I'm not sure how the Intermediate schools work, but I would imagine the same as the old Junior High schools, they just changed the names.

In APS Junior High was 6th, 7th, and 8th while Middle School was 7th and 8th and used to also be 9th. That changed the year I was moving from 8th to 9th. Albuquerque probably doesn't have any JrHs any more. Don't know because I havn't lived there since '87.
I think different cities school systems varied a bit on what they did.

More than likely, because a good friend of mine, who lives all the way out in Suffolk County, Long Island, always refers to the schools in her area as Middle, whereas here in the city limits, they're called Intermediate. Not sure the old Junior High schools when I was a kid are still around, but I imagine if they are, they're now referred to as Intermediate as well.

In my part of the state, also, (eastern NY/capital district) they're referred to as Elementary, Middle, and High schools. However, this differs just from one town to the next. Clifton Park still calls them as Elementary, Junior, and High school, while Albany refers to them as Elementary, and Middle schools again. In my specific town, some folks call it Middle school, and some folks call it Junior High.

I'd almost say the term Middle school and Junior High are practically interchangeable; they always refer to the same thing.

I have to admit that "Intermediate" would annoy the heck out of me. I don't like the way it sounds, LOL. But it's just a personal taste thing. I also don't understand the whole notion of "graduating" at the end of Elementary school. I'm sorry, but when I was in school, the ONLY "graduation" was your high school graduation ceremony. Now they have one for Kindergarten, the end of Elementary, and the end of Junior High... it's nuts in my opinion.

It's too much emphasis on making every last little thing "super duper special" and not enough focus on getting the kids and the CURRICULUM to a point where the children graduate high school knowing the basics for how to function in adult society. I'm sorry but moving from elementary to middle school is NOT "special" to me! And yes I'm a parent! Moving from the middle to high school, I don't see that as warranting a "graduation" either. I think it would help the kids if they had maybe a couple of days at the end of the school year to walk around the high school (WITH supervision/parent chaperones), and get a little familiar with the routine. But a graduation is, IMO, making too much fanfare over too little.

I've been searching YouTube for DS tutorials, but there are not many covering versions 4.8 and 4.9. However, here are just a few.
