#rmdo Herbal Tea and #Fringe #Science #humor

Mary and I tried a new homemade herbal tea, white willow bark, kava kava, and butcher's broom. Then we sat and watched a couple of episodes of Fringe where Walter Bishop injected weird substances into Agent Dunham. Very unsettling comparison. #rmdo

#rmdo Popular In #Russia #blogging

I have two blogs that are popular in Russia, according to my stats. http://thegiftparables.blogspot.com/ may be popular because of a hunger for the miraculous after the long reign of secular Communism. But http://adventuresofmikeandmary.blogspot.com/ ??!! No idea why that's popular in Mother Russia?! #rmdo

#rmdo Height Advantage #humor

Liam was playing guard while my grand daughters were playing volleyball. I gave him a little height and jumping boost. We were not successful. The girls are too good. But Liam did have fun trying. #rmdo

#rmdo Dimwitted Courage #humor

My brother (Ted Dittmer) posting a Chuck Norris joke on my timeline reminded me of a boyhood incident.
Our church youth group leader had gathered all the boys in the car and drove us out to a local cemetery. All of us boys were totally clueless about the Catholic tradition of placing slow burning long lasting candles on the graves. Meaning to scare us, our leader screamed, THE LIGHTS!! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!
Most of the boys were screaming and begging Trent, the leader, to skedaddle,  except for two: my brother Tim Dittmer and myself. We were begging Trent to stop and let us out so we could investigate the scary phenomenon.
The Dittmers owe this dimwitted courage to their parents. Mom incessantly trained us to never back down from a scary bully. Dad never failed to investigate any curiosity. #rmdo

#rmdo Very Good, Grasshopper! #homeschooling

April Babcock Kathy Lester Phillips Shira Ellsworth Diana Tucci Morris Melissa Bachtel
To my homeschooling friends: I've noted among adults who grew up in a relaxed homeschooling environment, of whom I only know two, my own daughters, that they are better able to draw from the strengths of both parents, while counter acting the parents weaknesses. I'm seeing this quality already in all the grand children, who are frightening and amazing both me and their parents with their insight into human behavior.
The reason this is happening is because home schooled children are being socialized by adults (which answers the biggest criticism of homeschoolers!) and not by the brat packs of schools.
My children and my grandchildren have a deep understanding of the two people they need to understand the most for their future success: their parents.
Pawning off our children into the hands of "experts" delays that understanding by decades.
To my daughters Rebecca Taberski and Wendelyn Daly: My disciples have exceeded the master. (Very good, grasshoppers!).
