i love how conversations amble along…you start in one place and end up down the street in a completely different neighborhood. yesterday, silas and i had a conversation like that. we were in the car on the way home from the orthodontist and somehow we started talking about moving, i think because scotty is finishing school this year and there was some brief discussion the night before about “what if we had to move away if he got a job somewhere else, etc.” he asked why people always want to…

Christy commented on laura bowman's blog post what do you want to be when you grow up?"Love this, Laura. This helps me to remain in the moment with both of my kids, in their varied interests, instead of worrying about the future too much. You miss the beauty in the moment if you look too far ahead. Thanks for writing this :)

Happy birthday!
i can't wait to see you at ARGH !
I'm Hema, unschooling mom to 2 in Pune, India. Been a member here for a while and love it. Thanks for making this lovely place for so many of us.
When we moved to India 2 years ago, i started the Pune Homeschoolers Group (as radical unschooling is largely unknown here) with a homeschooling mom and the only local unschooler at the time. The 3 of us started the yahoo group and it has grown to almost 100 members in the past 2 years. Now i've just bought this: http://indiahomeschoolers.ning.com/ A few of us are keen to pay and keep it going until it takes off. It will be a national homeschooling platform... one where all are welcome.. newbies, fencers, unschoolers, homeschoolers and even some resource people. Our homeschooling community in India is tiny in proportion to the population here :-) So this Ning site will support us all nicely for a while to come.
All this info because i need your advice. You've been managing this site for so long... so I'm wondering if you have advice, links to good tutorials, maintenance ideas, ways to keep spam out etc. I know our audience is a large, diverse one.. but it seems to be the only way we can provide a place for all to connect. We will have about 3 moderators. Thank you for your time :-)
Best, Hema - http://thebharadwajknights.blogspot.com/
I like RUN. I'm glad to have it. :D Thanks. -Sally
