Small Town

Written by Fermin Washington

Being from a small town meant that when I moved I had no idea what to do about home security. I had a big dog and I figured that was enough, that is, until one of my neighbors’ houses got broken into. I just didn’t imagine I was so vulnerable but you know, when something like that happens it really forces you to think about things. I went to www.homesecuritysystem.com and got a home alarm and actually had all the locks changed since the previous owner was, in a word, sketchy. I feel better now about being here along and I actually want to buy expensive stuff to decorate. You know, there’s nothing like owning your own home and really being part of the process and that’s what I’m in the middle of right now. I love that this place is mine and that I’m the one responsible for taking care of it and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. Owning your own home is the most amazing feeling ever!

Excellent ideas

We were looking for a floor mat for the science lab and it struck me that if I shopped through the industrial sector I might find a higher quality floor mat with some anti-slip stuff for fall protection, too and that's exactly what I found. Now, if something toxic happens to spill we're not in danger when we're trying to get to safety. And even if it's just water on the floor, we won't have to worry about slipping and spilling something toxic. I was thinking we would all need some rubber soled shoes or something, but it just didn't seem practical, the kids enjoy doing science experiments all the time and I can't imagine trying to monitor what shoes they wear when they head into the science lab, I mean... can you imagine? Anyway, what have you done in your house to create a safe space for science? It's only really chemistry that's been causing such a dilemma I mean, we had a few chemical uses in physics but not nearly like we're having this yeah and the entire family has been enjoying it, too. That's another cool thing about homeschooling, it's just so much fun.man, i wish I could go back in time because I definitely would have wanted to be a homeschooler when I was a kid. I guess it's never too late, is it?
