Thursday 19 March 2009 - Kindred Brains and Other Anonymous Commenters
Thank you, O Anonymous Kindred Brain, for taking part in my little puzzler! I was beginning to feel, you know, rejected or something.
Now please tell me who you are! I really must know who was (a) weird or (b) kind enough to actually play along with me. Besides, Anonymous comments keep me awake at night wondering. (Not really. The whole not-knowing thing deeply disturbs me for about two minutes and then I go on to other things. And then I keep on coming back to it and wondering, wondering, wondering... but I don't actually lose sleep over it.)
I do know who you aren't. Because I have gone through all the comments on my last many posts trying to find an IP number that matches this one, and alas, I have come up empty-handed.
(Why no, I'm not obsessive; why ever would you ask such a thing?)
I was, however, able to identify a couple other recent Anonymice ("Anonymouses" just didn't look right) during my Great IP Adventure. Didn't figure out this one, though, although it's pretty close to the four IP numbers logged by one of my blog friends. (Yes, four numbers from one person. How the heck many computers do you have, JJ?)
Back to the Puzzler... Anonymous Kindred Brain was correct, not that any of the rest of you care.  As for the additional questions posed by AKB, I will just say that Fuzz is the one with the, um, "infamous" birthday, which means, according to the family info given on the sidebar (which is true to the best of my knowledge, and I should know), that the birthday occuring on the 23rd is first not only in date but in year as well.
Oh, and I was gratified by all the comments on my previous post showing that, although my Data Brain apparently makes me somewhat of an oddball, there are plenty of fellow bloggers out there who are similarly beset with Editor Brain. (If only all bloggers were. *Sigh* But that really is another post entirely.)

This is a sidebar. It is full of all sorts of fascinating stuff... bloggy stuff, family stuff, homeschooly stuff... It's almost (but not quite) as interesting as the blog. So read it.
About This Blog
My posts may be funny or thoughtful or boring;
they might have you laughing or thinking or snoring.
But this blog is worth reading and never ignoring.
You'll find yourself loving it, never abhorring.
I hope.

Rezident (and Not-So-Rezident) WACKOS...
"Hubz" (48): Self-employed entrepreneur who works from his shop next to our house. Has I-don't-know-HOW-many businesses simmering on one burner or another. Tho' a talented woodworker, he currently works mostly with plastics, designing & building displays. Enjoys building creative furniture for the kids when time & energy allow. Hobby consists of taking kids on dates; eats & sleeps in his spare time.
The "Miz" (44): Oh, like you need a description of me. Read the blog!
And the kidz...
"Biz" (Son 22):
Recent college grad, living with friends. Deciding whether to teach English abroad in the fall or buy a house. Enjoys reading, writing, computer & video games, music, hanging with friends, travelling. Occasionally stops by the house for a good meal. :-).
*Homeschooled thru 6th grade, plus 8th grade.*
"Cheez" (Daughter 18+):
Recent high-school grad, working full-time this summer. Hopes to eventually write and travel, perhaps at the same time. Enjoys reading, writing, superfluous vocabulary, and the piano. Definitely her own person.
*Homeschooled thru 8th grade.*
"Spaz" (Son 13++):
Highly sociable, sensitive, makes friends with anyone. Struggles with ADH issues, but charming & loved by many! Plays rocket football in the fall and watches pro & college ball all winter. Loves to read, learn, make up his own arrangements on piano, tease his sister, make interesting things out of Legos, and :P play video/computer games.
*Has always home-schooled.*
"Fuzz" (Daughter 10++):
Artistic, musical, highly creative. Sweet, sensitive, very "on top of things", routine-oriented, stubborn. Great policeman & back-seat driver! Loves piano, reading, drawing, making stuff, creative playing, and anything "Little House". Asks great questions & makes great observations.
*Has always home-schooled.*
Cheez, Fuzz, Spaz, & Huz (2006)
What Type of Homeschooler Are You?
Well, here's MY description:
Over 16 years of homeschooling, I've evolved to a less formal, Charlotte Mason-ish eclectic approach with a more-or-less classical bent. (Isn't that clear as mud?) My goal is to �light the fires� of learning and creativity in my kids. I emphasize history & literature because we enjoy them, and I incorporate informal language arts into much of what we do.
Er, yeah. That's how it's SUPPOSED to go. The reality of it is...
After 16 years of homeschooling, I have yet to really figure out how to do it. So we muddle along, overemphasizing history and almost sort of neglecting science, and I spend way too much time making plans that we don't stick to anyway. We read a lot, and we like words, and we don't manage our time very well, and sometimes I yell.
And here's how quizilla sees it:
Mr. Potato Head:
"You have your ideal of how things should look, but you're flexible enough to allow for change. You are not bothered by changing methods, mid-course if necessary. You use an eclectic combination of curriculum sources."
Um, yeah, that works, for the most part.
Take this quiz!

Hits since July 1, 2007:
Free Web Counters
(Altho' to be honest, more than a few of those hits are, um, me.)
This is where I would put all my awards.
But since I never seem to get around to
passing on the awards as is generally required,
it would be breaking The Rules
for me to post the buttons here.
Bummer. So the best I can do is to tell you that
I am a Rockin' Girl, that I Make People Smile,
and that my Blog is Excellent.
But you already knew that.
