Yes, I shared that request on my homeschool email loop.  Having kids causes you to do strange things, doesnt it?  Say things you never would have said: Don't sit on your brothers head.  Don't lick the dog.  Don't play with broken glass.  Do you think I'm crazy?  I'd like to get my daughter a rifle for Christmas. Take my card, My pin number is...

And today I asked the entire homeshcool community for a fake arm.  Not really wanting a prostetic, more like a part of a maniquin for a 4-H display.  I am certain this is the first time I have asked for an extra limb.

Of course, among home-schoolers, this may not even raise an eyebrow.  Perhaps the response will be, "I can get you the arm but little Billy will need to borrow your propane torch to remover the inner metal rod.  Do you need a head or leg while he is at it?"
