or those of you who have attended churches predominated by homeschooling families… I think you will enjoy the following
RULES FOR HOMESCHOOLING DATING
1) Shun all Calvinist women. They’re generally unattractive and strident, and their hearts really belong to John Piper.
2) Think twice about dating a fellow homeschooler, because homeschoolers dating homeschoolers is kind of inbreeding. Your 15 baby homeschoolers may end up grossly big-brained, cross-eyed and with extra toes.
3) First date: Avoid marriage proposals or discussions of natural family planning. (Save natural family planning for the second date and, if NFP views pass muster, marriage proposal for third date. Invest marriage proposal with much religious symbolism and sober talk of husband as head of the wife.) For first date, stick to sermon podcasts, conservative politics and subtly complimenting her inner beauty. Mourn the failed campaign of Mike Huckabee but don’t linger on this topic too long since politics tends to crush girls’ fragile minds.
4) Physical boundaries — vital to inexorably set. Handholding is acceptable if done while walking, less acceptable if done while standing still, and dangerous to the point of mortal sin if done while sitting or prone. All other physical contact prohibited, at least until engagement but even more holy to postpone until marriage and holiest of all to postpone until first wedding anniversary.
FROM stultiloquence
I thought this was so hilarious, I had to share! Funnily enough, it was shared with me by a fellow homeschooler, from a big family, who goes/went to a calvinist church. I wonder if he held hands with his wife while he was dating? He may just be doomed! Brian and I certainly are!
Haha! It’s a good thing I wasn’t a purely home schooled person! Yikes. We’d be the most doomed of most anybody I fear. Since not only was I not purely home schooled- neither of us were exactly white as the fresh driven snow! 😀 Hahaha.
Guy def. doesn’t have a large brain. I fear for the kids who are born after Jake’s been in college a bit longer or worse yet- GRADUATED.
Yikes for Anna since both of you went to college…have you checked her toes out lately??
I’m glad to be such a ghastly sinner with you rachel! (Is that bad?)
Oh! and for millet. No, it’s actually quite normal. Jake thinks I’m silly, but I’m not. I grind it up in the blender and then make it into a porage and add it to his sweet potatoes, avocado, plain, whatever. I also have added the ground millet to my biscuit recipe. It’s best if you soak it in lemon juice.whey or something acidic first to break down the enzymes so you get all the nutrition, but it’s cheap! I don’t soak it for Guy yet except in the water that it’s cooking in for like 8 hours cause he can’t have citrus or milk products yet (I’m waiting till he’s a year old).
Here’s Lindsay’s site and Kimmy’s site that I get some ideas from:
http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/
http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/
They have non-gluten recipes and stuff and natural living tips. I like it. And I haven’t forgotten about the food stuff I was going to email you. I scanned some of it just haven’t sent it. 🙂
Oh! Annnnnd. 🙂 Would you want to drive down to Ca with me and ash and maybe kt sometime? I haven’t really htought it would very well, but I was think ing to leave Guy with the grandparents and we could drive down with my car? then you and ash and kt? could drive it back up to or when Jake came home and JAke and I would drive up with the truck. Sounds really complicated actually. Hm. Let me think it over a little more and I’ll get back to you.
😀 Sorry.
Lol!!! I wonder if you’ll get any flack from this —- 😀 pretty funny tho!
