Hi Laura, I was going to warn you about the spammer, but I see you've had it too.
I've been inundated with spam this morning.

Hi Laura,
Yes, I've been on here for awhile, lurked for awhile before joining, then joined but never got around to putting up a photo. I hardly get on the computer with running around with Akira. She keeps me busy. She gets into everything, is curious about so many things, so we are always doing something. But I can only get on the computer when she is asleep, otherwise she wants to hit all the keys...
Looks like you have a wonderful life with great new friends back home. I follow your photos and show Karuna, since she misses Sadie alot. The unschooler group here is pretty noneventful, so we do our own thing. I hope one day we'll have a group of active members and kids around the same age as mine...
We are doing great and enjoying our front yard immensely. We now have a huge turtle and several large and small frogs that just showed up. The dragonflies are mating and laying eggs and we have an endless supply of birds coming and taking a bath in the bubbling waterfall, that acts like a bird bath! We're going to start working on the back yard this coming year. How are you guys doing?

calvin & hobbes and unschooling

for anyone who has ever asked these questions: what IS unschooling, really? but if you don't MAKE them learn, how will they? do you unschool in the summer?? or said things like: kids can't learn without structure or curriculum. if you don't make them read every day, they won't learn to read by the right age!! i don't see how following their interests can lead to learning all the right subjects!!

to which i give you...calvin & hobbes...… Continue

> But the issue of people joining for the purpose of spamming isn't old. The Indian Tourism "blog" posts are very recent. This is probably the wrong thread for that issue.

This is a very old thread that came up over a year ago. I think it's not an issue anymore. It is good to know that there are choices. Deffo!

Since I've never really checked, it could be possible to set profiles to private.. maybe, I don't know since I don't care. I just checked and you can make everything on your profile page private if you want to. It's not even an all or nothing eit...
