I graduated in 1965, grade school was a one room school house. Moved to town in middle school & high school but all my years in school was the first Monday after Labor Day. I never went school shopping. Mom made my clothes. The first 4 dresses my parents ever bought me were for college, (only went one yr & got my MRS degree)😁. Same for my husband. His upbringing was almost identical to mine. I had 2 brothers, he had 2 sisters. We raised 3 boys. God blessed us with 53.5 yrs together. Lots of memories.
My kids went to public school until high school and then they decided they wanted to be at home. It was awesome. So glad you guys listen and do what she wants. All kids are different and need different things.
My children are now 50 and 49..and I homeschooled both of them (it was even illegal then)..they both now have successful careers,,my son is an assistant fire chief and my daughter runs her own Christian school with over 150 students..we used a variety of curriculum..I know it isn’t for everyone but it worked well for us..
I let my son set his own pace with home schooling, There was a minimum daily requirement. He graduated in February before he turned 16. He Finished with a 4.2 GPA and he finished a dual major bachelor's degree in 3½ years. He's 34 now and doing wonderful. I'm very proud of him!♥
What I remember in elementary school was walking by the cafeteria in the morning and smelling the lunch they were preparing! Everything was MADE in the cafeteria!
For Dee Dee's skin, my Harley had skin issues/allergies. I used to put a tsp of coconut oil (what you used on Moody and Mildred) in his food. It is ingestable and won't harm her at all, add some warm water to melt it down and stir her food. It has no flavor.. it will help her skin and coat. My vet approved of it.
My dogs loved it I would just give it they would lick it out out of the spoon. When my bo boy had skin issues I would just take a small amount and rub it in my hands and rub it into his skin. After a while no more issues.
I remember counting the tiles in the ceiling tiles. Hated school and love the fact that u gave ur daughter the choice and now days she’ll be way better off and she’ll actually get a good education. Great Job !!
Two by two recues is a great organization. My oldest dog came from 2 by 2, he was a foster failure, I adopted him after I had him 3 days. He is a great dog. If you want to donate to them, they care about the animals they have. Mary Carl is a very bright young lady who will do fine home schooling.
With the start up of school I remember mom ordering clothes from Sears and JCPENNEY! There were four of us girls. There were these big boxes that Daddy would go pick up. The smeeeelll of new shoes and clothes! Do you all miss the Sears and Penney's Christmas catalogs? Boy I do! 😊
I used to cut the women out of the catalogs and make them my paper dolls .I used the tall Tide washing powder boxes for their house. I would cut one side out and tape a piece of it to the inside so I would have a two story home. Then I would cut pictures of furniture out and tape it around inside each floor to decorate it. I'm 70 but I still think about those days. My family also came from Selma. Camp Gris was on Old Summerfield Rd. and we had family who lived there and the lake was named after our family, Pardue, then changed to Camp Gris. Still have family there. My Grandfather was the night watchman at the Lock Plant and lived on the property. Course that was the later yrs, they lived on King St. and we lived on Old Orville Rd. That's been such a long time ago.
Brooke, when I started Vet Tech school (3-yr program), the very first day, the head of the ag dept told us to get a job in a vet clinic to find out NOW if we could take the profession BEFORE devoting a difficult 3 years to something we wouldn’t be able to handle. I’m talking blood, pee, poop, vomit, injuries, etc, etc. At least 2 of the 12 people in my class graduated then never worked in the profession. So I applaud you for finding out early about your PE teacher dreams. Lots of us imagine how cool a job will be then find out it’s not so much when we actually do it. 😻 P.S. I LOVED all 32 years I was a specialty vet tech. 💕
my father had similar advice re my interest in being an attorney - go work for one before you commit to Law School to make sure it's what you think it is/can be...excellent advice no matter what field people are interested in.
What vet tech school did you attend? During my daughter's high school years they were taken on field trips to check out various professions. They went to visit a veterinarian. My daughter realized she found herself alone in the room with the vet. He said are you going too? (To join the other kids in class. She said Do I have to? He said no. so I got a call that something had happened and I should ask her. She said nothing happened. The teacher then said. Well I got a call from the vet we visited.He wants you to know he is giving her a reference and will help however he can her get to college. The vet said in my decades of working and doing these days with students I've never seen a student with such natural talent. Not only is she the only student who never ran out she wanted to stay and she asked very intelligent questions and asked if she could help. I do this to make sure the kids aren't thinking all cute puppies and kittens is what it's about .....what he did was have them come in in the middle of surgery and they'd all leave throwing up gagging etc. My girl walked right up asked what was going on and why and wanted to help and to know every detail. She's a vet tech today. Still learning doing as much as legally allowed andgld and satisfied to be doing the job.
I’m so glad you’re home schooling Mary Carl… she’s a very bright, intelligent girl. I love her knowledge about birds. Can’t wait for you to one day get to Australia. It’ll blow her mind… maybe a field trip 😂
Times are way different than when we went to school. I am glad Mary Carl prefers homeschooling. She's a wise girl. She'll learn so much more that way with good loving teachers like you guys.
I home schooled my two sons from about 5th grade. With 4 of my grandkids we spent a lot of time traveling our country roads going to school, sports practice, games etc. We found they enjoyed listening to books on tape we borrowed from the library. They had a required reading list, and required to actually read the book then take a test on it. We borrowed a book, listened to it, then they read the actual book and took the test. Their scores went way up! We all enjoyed the taped version, too. We had a subscription to a radio station that played old time radio programs from the 40s. I was surprised at how much the kids loved those programs! Lol! You might try age appropriate books on tape.
Missed the live yesterday but grabbed my coffee first thing this morning and I'm happily enjoying the conversation about schooling. MaryCarl is so brilliant she will never have trouble learning anything she is interested in. And having you two as teachers is an added bonus.
I too am a homeschool mom. My children are grown now. I used a lot of different curriculums and even sent one of mine to a class for homeschoolers in math and Spanish. I highly recommend homeschooling!
HAD 5 CHILDREN ONE HOME SCHOOLED BECAUSE SHE WAS VERY INTELLIGENT. WE SENT HER TO KINDERGARTEN BUT SHE WAS SO ADVANCED THAT THE CURRICULUM WAS PULLING HER BACK SO WE HOME SCHOOLED HER. SHE WAS MULTIPLYING AND DEVIDING BEFORE SHE STARTED KINDERGARTEN. THE SCHOOL WOULDNT ADVANCE HER SO WE DID WHAT WE HAD TO. IT WAS GREAT FOR HER.
Brooke, I use organic coconut oil. Put a tiny bit on her food. You can also rub it into her troubled areas. My cats have a bowl to sample 24/7. It really helps them inside and out🐾
Oh my goodness I have never seen a pretzel that big, That is still not a bad price for that big a pretzel, I am glad all is well at the Barn, Oh boy a 6 foot tall surprise I can't wait!!! God bless you guys and stay safe
I hated high school and ended up quitting, got my GED and went to college and loved it. I got an associates degree in Broadcasting Technology. I have a 17 year old pom/Doberman, he barks allot, not as much as he did when he was a baby. He follows me literally every where. He loves a bath and we have no problems giving him one.
I had extremely high cholesterol and we determined it was hereditary! I tried home remedies and medication and diet and it wasn't bringing it down, I started a shot every month for two years and now my cholesterol is on the lower end! I get it checked every six months and it has stayed lower end for 3 years with no medication or diet! I am so happy! Brooke you look so pretty in your farmer shorts! God Bless You and your family and the animals 🙏🙏
First I will definitely call you SMART for putting off pulling the fence until possibly next week!👍🏻 I rescued 2 Porkies. Pomeranian mama & Yorkie daddy. Dazi Violet Daffodil is more Pom. RoseBud Sweet Pea is more like a Yorkie. (I have the ultimate bouquet!) I am so blessed, they rarely bark & when they do it's about something important. Either a squirrel is in their yard or someone is here. These litter mates never saw the grass their 1st yr of life.😣 But now they're the happiest little girls I have ever seen. I rescued them but they actually rescued me.❤
DeeDee may have been previously crated and she might have repeatedly chewed on the wire crate out of anxiety and it damaged her teeth. 🐾CHICKEN IN DOG KIBBLE🐾 Processed chicken protein is one of the top ingredients in dog kibble & treats that alot of dogs are allergic to, not the grains. I found this out with my black Pekingese foster dog that had really bad dander and scratched all the time. I elemented processed chicken protein from her kibble and treats. She quickly stopped scratching and eventually had no more dander.
Jason, I too, remember the smell of school. It was a combination of the wax on the floors, the Murphy's Oil Soap that they washed the desks with, the oil on the big dust mops. Add to that the smell of the ink in the new books, especially the ones with slick paper pages. We also had a cafeteria in the school with actual cooks and you could smell what was for lunch that day. Such fond memories even though I wasn't particularly of school
I always Loved loved school.Especially the first 6 grades. I remember it always smelled like fresh paint ,paint smell that I had never smelled before. And I loved All but 2 teachers from first grade through twelfth.I hated missing school. I was a Farmers daughter (who had no sons) and had to work hard.
So happy to hear that you are better, my Dad has blood pressure and cholesterol issues and yes it’s all hereditary. My 3 sister all have issues and I don’t. Blessed for doctors and all those do research for our health.
I had a Pom from age 5 weeks to the age of 14 yrs when she passed away. We trained her not to bark in the house but she would dance at the door until I got it opened. She would run out the door barking her little head off😂 she passed away the same day my husband did under his bed. It was so ironic.
I feel so bad for all of you. I’m in the northeast, the summer has been moderate although the thunderstorms have been unusually severe. I don’t think I could live in that heat. Praying your temperature moderates and you get rain. God bless.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really enjoy your live videos! Ya’ll make me laugh. Oh, your coffee is really great! It has a smooth taste. Thank you for the laughs. God Bless you all!
Humic & moist & hot days & I remember those when I was in Anniston AL. That was in 1970. Now I live in Western NV & no more humid, drippy wet clothes. Instead Hot & Dry Heat which I can tolerate better. Have a great day.
Algebra is the same as the old day just try to interpret it to your days in school. My son was homeschool and graduated with honors now my grandchildren are home school. We used alpha Omega it was all on computer but had counselors for children and parents. I had to do a schedule for my son. Loved it and it also helped me. In my late 40's I went to college was working on two masters with a grade point average 3.95 when my mom called need help. Left school got to spend my greatest years with my mom and dad. Lost mom in 2019 and lost my dad in 2022.
Dang that heat. First tip I read was to use a WHITE TOWEL and cover the camera when not in use. A GEL PACK across the top of the camera is another tip. Very good sense to wait on the fencing. And one more thing, JASON and BROOKE, regarding Junebug. YOU saved her, YOU took the time to change her life for the better and for that you need to feel wonderful and generous and kind. You did it for her.
I’m in my 60s and my high school PE teacher recently passed away in a house explosion. She was in her 90s. My senior year I was homeless and living in my car. She would let me in school early to use the shower. My home economics teacher would let me do my laundry in the classroom.
Pomeranians need to have all their hair brushed backwards to their head to look fluffy. Unlike what most people think palms look like they are my sister‘s favorite dog. And it is very common when people over breed their females did it can age a dog. I’m so happy DD found a home with you.😊
11:35 here in Iowa on the 23rd and it's 117 for a heat index. Not even as hot as it's supposed to be today. Crazy is what it is . Love y'all and praying for relief from the heat for all who are suffering. God bless from Anna in Iowa
Even tho I'm almost 25 yrs. your senior your talking about school days brought back memories. That was the only time we got new clothes. Being the baby girl I wore hand me downs a lot also that's the only time we got shoes. Didn't matter if we out grew or wore them out that was it. We went barefoot as I do now. The five kids shared a closet no more than 3 feet wide. The girls got the second bedroom and the boys shared a roll away bed. Our school always smelled like the compound the janitor used on his dust mop. Great Show! If you get a chance see The Sound Of Freedom movie!
I loved school. The seasons were changing. Fall was in the air. Loved buying clothes and school supplies. You wanted to do well because it was your choice. Hated missing school for what ever reason. Some times there are no available jobs in the time that you need a job. We had P.E. uniform in 7th- 8th grade. I graduated in 1980. My dog is 12 and she has had chew bones since I have had her. And her teeth are white.
I retired from the University of Arkansas and the big SEC schools are teaching college level math courses via computer. So it's good that Mary-Carl is using a computer for some subjects. I hated school and would have loved homeschooling had it been available in thev69s and 70s.
I also had to be put on blood pressure meds at 57 it really upset me but runs in my family to and like you said I don’t wanna die or have a stroke so things seem better now prayers for all our health🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I enjoy y’all telling stories. I was laughing so much hearing the pretzel surprise! Jason, take MaryCarl on dates as long as you can. Watch TV movies, too. A daughter needs to know her father loves her with words and time spent. My father never showed love or told me. It caused trust issues and such a lack of confidence in myself. Your sweet girl knows she is loved by the both of you. I am thankful for y’all being such role models in the lessons of a loving family. Your Texas friend
I look forward to hearing from you in some way every day, keep up the great work !!! Love seeing DeeDee riding on the side by side and can't wait to see her at the barn doing her "march around". Love all the animals and you two also !!
Only one can control the weather and everything else and that is God. People are gonna have to believe in God And have more faith before things will Change
I also home schooled my 3. They are now 43, 36 & 32. Every year I have them the question do you want to go to school or not. We didn’t have too many curriculums back them. We did Abeka and they really liked it. I graduated in 72 and we had gym uniforms and had to dress in front of the other girls. I worked for a vet in my 20’s and the vets said once a dog turns 10 it’s very hard to tell how old they are.
One of my favorite memories of going to school was I was a shy child when I was younger and my grandma would take me to get a Trapper Keeper and I get to pick it out and my favorite one was the one with the most purple in it. She let me do that my sneakers and a pack of stickers.
We had to take showers after gym class and the gym teacher used to open up the shower curtain while we were showering. Well she didn't do that to me again after I told my G'Ma lol
I pulled my 16yr old daughter out of high school. Her brother graduated this past June and she doesn’t want to go alone and I’m not happy with the wokeness of the public school. So we’re starting in September after Labor Day.
I loved school, I even 'played' school, I was always the teacher. Yes, schools have their own scent, at least back in the day. Tbe socialization was extremely important to me.
Oh my word the memories of school PE classes. I hated changing clothes in open rooms. We had to or would be failed. 7th through 11th grade. Ugh.Jason you Crack me up with memories of the smell. Lol
I fill so sorry for you all Pray for us on Ohio on Thursday we are going to hit our 105°. It's are great darke county fair , parade day and their thinking about canceling it.
I remember the smell of that new box of Crayola crayons. To this day the smell of crayons takes me back to elementary school. And it's a loooong way back as I'm 76yo. 😂
Once I completed my PE credit in high school I took my gym uniform out to the backyard, doused it in lighter fluid and set it on fire. I hated that uniform.
I am sorry I missed the live. I was busy in my house. In South Texas, it cooled down for a while as this storm rolls in. I graduated in 1982 and we had to change clothes and shower every day from PE as well. As a public school teacher for 22 years afterwards, I understand why we were made to do that. Let me tell you that when kids come out of PE after working out hard, they stink and have the rest of the day to go to classes. LOL Just sayin'.
On Friday Your clothes went home to be washed and You was graded on Dressing out Showers and if your clothes was washed. I hated the showers every one would look at you Only Private was if it was that time of the month and even that wasn't much private!!
One of the most valuable lessons you can learn early in life is to learn what you don't want to do for the rest of your life. The only way you can learn those lessons is to try a lot of different things. It is unfortunate that many don't learn those lessons until it is too late to change without consequences.
Deedee needs a cytopoint shot. Sooo We homeschool here in Jacksonville, Florida, and my kids are different, too, and love being home! I do like Singapore, but we moved on from tgtb to teaching textbooks to Apologia. We are starting with another when we get to 6th! Every subject we have a different company curriculum lol. We did the box set several years ago too. Big fail😂. We are starting Sept 5th:) Happy Homeschooling!! ( I have a masters in early childhood and taught a dozen years but I couldn't wait to leave- I love staying home with mine)
I’m 64 years old and when I attended PE we required to wear a PE uniform and after the class we were required toke a shower. Then at the end of the week we were required to take our PE uniform home to wash it. In high school I was only required to take PE in my Freshman and Sophomore year. The 2 remaining years was optional. I opted out of PE for the Junior and Senior year. I graduated from high school in 1977.
I'm watching this Wednesday morning, and here in central Wisconsin, it's going to be 100° with a heat index of 110° today! I don't know how you all can even be outside in weather like that, let alone work!
I love watching you all and hearing about your lives..so funny!! I'm in a skilled nursing home for rehab which has been difficult. So it is definitely a joy to see you on You Tube
I benefitted from being the 9th of 10 children. When my older sisters started high school they had to make their own clothes if they wanted more than the two skirts and a few tops they had. Or get a job. One of my sisters scrounged for shoes to wear that fit. By the time they had gone to college and I was in high school my mother was working too, and had some money to spend on school clothes, and took us to Sears. I wore their hand me downs most of my life. That's my return to school memory. Hahaha. But I loved school, for the most part.
Oh now we are homeschooling. I have 7 kids. 2 just graduated from public school. 3 are currently in public school. Our 8th grader we have been homeschooling/unschooling also since 4th grade. And a new little ready to learn
Hey Jason & Brooke, I'm 53, and my year was '87. And boy oh boy, I remember from 6 grade thru 9th I had PE. I hated changing in front of anyone, but we had no choice. And when we came back in the locker room, we had to shower (without doors or curtain) before redressing unless P.E was the last period. Those were the days. They don't do PE now. I have 6 grandkids from 6 grade thru 11th and it's not a requirement here. I'm in South Florida, Broward County that is. I loved the trip down memory lane. I saw on another page Raggedy Ann & Raggedy Andy Dolls and I got so emotional. Do you guys remember those doll?Love you guys, thx for sharing.
My niece loved Raggedy Ann and Andy as a little girl. One year for Christmas I painted a set of ceramic Ann and Andy for her. They turned out so cute! As far as I know she still has them! I can remember the gym uniforms in school, in middle school they were cotton and in high school they were a poly knit. And we had to shower with no curtains! Now days there is probably a law against that.

Wow. What a wonderful testimony to Homeschooling
The two of you are such great storytellers! Smiles the whole time!😊
Lordy.. I was 1966.. lol.. you would not believe what we had to do... lolol.. I LOVE the transformation of Dee Dee.. she is a great dog
What I remember in elementary school was walking by the cafeteria in the morning and smelling the lunch they were preparing! Everything was MADE in the cafeteria!
Mary Carl is very special young lady ... she has more wisdom that people twice / three times her age
For Dee Dee's skin, my Harley had skin issues/allergies. I used to put a tsp of coconut oil (what you used on Moody and Mildred) in his food. It is ingestable and won't harm her at all, add some warm water to melt it down and stir her food. It has no flavor.. it will help her skin and coat. My vet approved of it.
Agree!
A tsp-Tbsp Organic coconut oil daily is great for dogs. They love it too! Vitamin E gel caps-daily is also good for skin and bone joints.
My dogs loved it I would just give it they would lick it out out of the spoon. When my bo boy had skin issues I would just take a small amount and rub it in my hands and rub it into his skin. After a while no more issues.
I remember counting the tiles in the ceiling tiles. Hated school and love the fact that u gave ur daughter the choice and now days she’ll be way better off and she’ll actually get a good education. Great Job !!

Let's not forget Montgomery Ward !!!!!
Oh Yes. I miss JCPenny’s Christmas catalog that I would mark all the stuff I wanted.
Yes yes yes! Pencils! Pencil cases and my school bag. I went to Catholic school. We had uniforms ,but every year we got new ones.
I used to cut the women out of the catalogs and make them my paper dolls .I used the tall Tide washing powder boxes for their house. I would cut one side out and tape a piece of it to the inside so I would have a two story home. Then I would cut pictures of furniture out and tape it around inside each floor to decorate it. I'm 70 but I still think about those days. My family also came from Selma. Camp Gris was on Old Summerfield Rd. and we had family who lived there and the lake was named after our family, Pardue, then changed to Camp Gris. Still have family there. My Grandfather was the night watchman at the Lock Plant and lived on the property. Course that was the later yrs, they lived on King St. and we lived on Old Orville Rd. That's been such a long time ago.
My mom made all my clothes. I appreciated it, but I hated it too. Then in 5th grade, she was able to buy my clothes. Also I'm the last of 5 kids.
Love you both and your humor thanks for great videos ❤😊❤
I loved school. I like it so much, I became a teacher. Many years of ‘first day of school’. ❤️ 🏫
Brooke, when I started Vet Tech school (3-yr program), the very first day, the head of the ag dept told us to get a job in a vet clinic to find out NOW if we could take the profession BEFORE devoting a difficult 3 years to something we wouldn’t be able to handle.

I went to Pierce College in Woodland Hills, CA (just outside LA proper). Graduated in 1986
I’m so glad you’re home schooling Mary Carl… she’s a very bright, intelligent girl. I love her knowledge about birds. Can’t wait for you to one day get to Australia. It’ll blow her mind… maybe a field trip 😂
That video was fantastic!! Tucker bringing up the rear!!!🥰🐈⬛
Good afternoon Cog Hill and all of the Cog Squad. I so enjoy having a sit down with y’all. Y’all be good.
Times are way different than when we went to school. I am glad Mary Carl prefers homeschooling. She's a wise girl. She'll learn so much more that way with good loving teachers like you guys.
Amen to that!!

Just love my Cog Hill time! Thanks soooo much!❤
We all love the Cog Hill times we spend with the Smiths! They’re great? Aren’t they Reeree
They change clothes at our highschool and there are no doors on the showers or restrooms
@@luann1420 They sure are! ❤️
First I will definitely call you SMART for putting off pulling the fence until possibly next week!👍🏻
I rescued 2 Porkies. Pomeranian mama & Yorkie daddy. Dazi Violet Daffodil is more Pom. RoseBud Sweet Pea is more like a Yorkie. (I have the ultimate bouquet!) I am so blessed, they rarely bark & when they do it's about something important. Either a squirrel is in their yard or someone is here. These litter mates never saw the grass their 1st yr of life.😣 But now they're the happiest little girls I have ever seen. I rescued them but they actually rescued me.❤
DeeDee may have been previously crated and she might have repeatedly chewed on the wire crate out of anxiety and it damaged her teeth.
🐾CHICKEN IN DOG KIBBLE🐾
Processed chicken protein is one of the top ingredients in dog kibble & treats that alot of dogs are allergic to, not the grains.
I found this out with my black Pekingese foster dog that had really bad dander and scratched all the time.
I elemented processed chicken protein from her kibble and treats. She quickly stopped scratching and eventually had no more dander.
Oh my gosh. That pretzel story is hilarious. I just about split a gut. What a great story. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love this family! They always make me smile/happy. Your animals are definitely 'family!'. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Jason, I too, remember the smell of school. It was a combination of the wax on the floors, the Murphy's Oil Soap that they washed the desks with, the oil on the big dust mops. Add to that the smell of the ink in the new books, especially the ones with slick paper pages. We also had a cafeteria in the school with actual cooks and you could smell what was for lunch that day. Such fond memories even though I wasn't particularly of school
Can’t get along without your videos!! Love them! 🌹
I always Loved loved school.Especially the first 6 grades. I remember it always smelled like fresh paint ,paint smell that I had never smelled before. And I loved All but 2 teachers from first grade through twelfth.I hated missing school. I was a Farmers daughter (who had no sons) and had to work hard.
I so enjoy your lives. It's just like sitting down and visiting with family ❣️. OXOXO to you and all your family and animals ❣️
We always started the day after labor day!!
I had a Pomeranian years ago. The only time she barked was when someone knocked or we came home. She was so happy to see us.
How funny! Ours too!
So happy to hear that you are better, my Dad has blood pressure and cholesterol issues and yes it’s all hereditary. My 3 sister all have issues and I don’t. Blessed for doctors and all those do research for our health.
I had a Pom from age 5 weeks to the age of 14 yrs when she passed away. We trained her not to bark in the house but she would dance at the door until I got it opened. She would run out the door barking her little head off😂 she passed away the same day my husband did under his bed. It was so ironic.
Oh my, it sounded like she knew that she wanted to be right there with your husband?❤
I feel so bad for all of you. I’m in the northeast, the summer has been moderate although the thunderstorms have been unusually severe. I don’t think I could live in that heat. Praying your temperature moderates and you get rain. God bless.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really enjoy your live videos! Ya’ll make me laugh. Oh, your coffee is really great! It has a smooth taste. Thank you for the laughs. God Bless you all!
Humic & moist & hot days & I remember those when I was in Anniston AL. That was in 1970. Now I live in Western NV & no more humid, drippy wet clothes. Instead Hot & Dry Heat which I can tolerate better. Have a great day.
Y’all I thought I’d die laughing over that pretzel 🥨 😂😂😂
Algebra is the same as the old day just try to interpret it to your days in school. My son was homeschool and graduated with honors now my grandchildren are home school. We used alpha Omega it was all on computer but had counselors for children and parents. I had to do a schedule for my son. Loved it and it also helped me. In my late 40's I went to college was working on two masters with a grade point average 3.95 when my mom called need help. Left school got to spend my greatest years with my mom and dad. Lost mom in 2019 and lost my dad in 2022.
I’m 65…I always got excited about going back and seeing friends I hadn’t during summer
Dang that heat. First tip I read was to use a WHITE TOWEL and cover the camera when not in use. A GEL PACK across the top of the camera is another tip. Very good sense to wait on the fencing. And one more thing, JASON and BROOKE, regarding Junebug. YOU saved her, YOU took the time to change her life for the better and for that you need to feel wonderful and generous and kind. You did it for her.
God bless the Cog Hill family. We love y'all. ❤🙏🙏🙏❤
I’m in my 60s and my high school PE teacher recently passed away in a house explosion. She was in her 90s. My senior year I was homeless and living in my car. She would let me in school early to use the shower. My home economics teacher would let me do my laundry in the classroom.
Love listening to your podcast during my commute! It makes things go so much smoother.
Pomeranians need to have all their hair brushed backwards to their head to look fluffy. Unlike what most people think palms look like they are my sister‘s favorite dog. And it is very common when people over breed their females did it can age a dog. I’m so happy DD found a home with you.😊
In St Louis it's 100 with the heat index of 117. To top it all off we don't have air conditioning. But our fans are getting a workout.
11:35 here in Iowa on the 23rd and it's 117 for a heat index. Not even as hot as it's supposed to be today. Crazy is what it is .
Love y'all and praying for relief from the heat for all who are suffering.
God bless from Anna in Iowa
Even tho I'm almost 25 yrs. your senior your talking about school days brought back memories. That was the only time we got new clothes. Being the baby girl I wore hand me downs a lot also that's the only time we got shoes. Didn't matter if we out grew or wore them out that was it. We went barefoot as I do now. The five kids shared a closet no more than 3 feet wide. The girls got the second bedroom and the boys shared a roll away bed. Our school always smelled like the compound the janitor used on his dust mop. Great Show! If you get a chance see The Sound Of Freedom movie!
I loved school. The seasons were changing. Fall was in the air. Loved buying clothes and school supplies. You wanted to do well because it was your choice. Hated missing school for what ever reason. Some times there are no available jobs in the time that you need a job. We had P.E. uniform in 7th- 8th grade. I graduated in 1980. My dog is 12 and she has had chew bones since I have had her. And her teeth are white.
I retired from the University of Arkansas and the big SEC schools are teaching college level math courses via computer. So it's good that Mary-Carl is using a computer for some subjects. I hated school and would have loved homeschooling had it been available in thev69s and 70s.
GOSH BROOKE...
Bless your heart. All those farm chores and home schooling as well.
MC is a lucky young lady.
We homeschooled but we never ended and started the year. We were always learning.
I also had to be put on blood pressure meds at 57 it really upset me but runs in my family to and like you said I don’t wanna die or have a stroke so things seem better now prayers for all our health🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I enjoy y’all telling stories. I was laughing so much hearing the pretzel surprise! Jason, take MaryCarl on dates as long as you can. Watch TV movies, too. A daughter needs to know her father loves her with words and time spent. My father never showed love or told me. It caused trust issues and such a lack of confidence in myself. Your sweet girl knows she is loved by the both of you. I am thankful for y’all being such role models in the lessons of a loving family. Your Texas friend
I look forward to hearing from you in some way every day, keep up the great work !!! Love seeing DeeDee riding on the side by side and can't wait to see her at the barn doing her "march around". Love all the animals and you two also !!
Only one can control the weather and everything else and that is God. People are gonna have to believe in God And have more faith before things will Change
I also home schooled my 3. They are now 43, 36 & 32. Every year I have them the question do you want to go to school or not. We didn’t have too many curriculums back them. We did Abeka and they really liked it. I graduated in 72 and we had gym uniforms and had to dress in front of the other girls. I worked for a vet in my 20’s and the vets said once a dog turns 10 it’s very hard to tell how old they are.
I graduated in 1964. I remember well the smell of the lockers and the shower room. Wet towels and mildew.
darn I missed the live again... glad for the rerun.. lol
Bless you'll hearts!!!! That pretzel looked like an intestine!!!!
Lol, lol, lol
It Did!
One of my favorite memories of going to school was I was a shy child when I was younger and my grandma would take me to get a Trapper Keeper and I get to pick it out and my favorite one was the one with the most purple in it. She let me do that my sneakers and a pack of stickers.
I’m so glad you’re taking time for yourselves and your health. No sense in being out in that kind of weather.
You guys have me rolling with laughter over your description of this huge pretzel...LMAO!
Jason I'm with you I hated school everyone used to say oh one day you'll wish you were back in school, nope never happened
Never once wished I could go back.
We had to take showers after gym class and the gym teacher used to open up the shower curtain while we were showering. Well she didn't do that to me again after I told my G'Ma lol
I’ve laughed so hard😂😂with the pretzel story. You all are the best. Thanks for sharing this.
I pulled my 16yr old daughter out of high school. Her brother graduated this past June and she doesn’t want to go alone and I’m not happy with the wokeness of the public school. So we’re starting in September after Labor Day.
I miss going to school. I love reading and cooking and sewing and history swimming arts and crafts
😂
I loved school, I even 'played' school, I was always the teacher.
Yes, schools have their own scent, at least back in the day.
Tbe socialization was extremely important to me.
My daughter has. 2 chihuahuas…they’re brothers. The one is sort of calm? The other is YAP YAP YAP .oh my goodness
Oh my word the memories of school PE classes. I hated changing clothes in open rooms. We had to or would be failed. 7th through 11th grade. Ugh.Jason you Crack me up with memories of the smell. Lol
I sure do relate to that‼️👍
I fill so sorry for you all
Pray for us on Ohio on Thursday we are going to hit our 105°. It's are great darke county fair , parade day and their thinking about canceling it.
As a young adult I got my physical and he told me I had the cholesterol of a starving Chinese coolie. I’ve never forgotten that. Not anymore!
Watching from WA state!!
I call you smart for respecting the heat & taking care of yourselves. Always put yourselves first.
I remember the smell of that new box of Crayola crayons. To this day the smell of crayons takes me back to elementary school. And it's a loooong way back as I'm 76yo. 😂
6ft tall surprise, betcha it's Lester ❤.
From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Once I completed my PE credit in high school I took my gym uniform out to the backyard, doused it in lighter fluid and set it on fire. I hated that uniform.
Missed the live was raking hay but i will enjoy your replay
I am sorry I missed the live. I was busy in my house. In South Texas, it cooled down for a while as this storm rolls in. I graduated in 1982 and we had to change clothes and shower every day from PE as well. As a public school teacher for 22 years afterwards, I understand why we were made to do that. Let me tell you that when kids come out of PE after working out hard, they stink and have the rest of the day to go to classes. LOL Just sayin'.
On Friday Your clothes went home to be washed and You was graded on Dressing out Showers and if your clothes was washed. I hated the showers every one would look at you Only Private was if it was that time of the month and even that wasn't much private!!
One of the most valuable lessons you can learn early in life is to learn what you don't want to do for the rest of your life. The only way you can learn those lessons is to try a lot of different things. It is unfortunate that many don't learn those lessons until it is too late to change without consequences.
Deedee needs a cytopoint shot. Sooo We homeschool here in Jacksonville, Florida, and my kids are different, too, and love being home! I do like Singapore, but we moved on from tgtb to teaching textbooks to Apologia. We are starting with another when we get to 6th! Every subject we have a different company curriculum lol. We did the box set several years ago too. Big fail😂. We are starting Sept 5th:) Happy Homeschooling!! ( I have a masters in early childhood and taught a dozen years but I couldn't wait to leave- I love staying home with mine)
I’m 64 years old and when I attended PE we required to wear a PE uniform and after the class we were required toke a shower. Then at the end of the week we were required to take our PE uniform home to wash it. In high school I was only required to take PE in my Freshman and Sophomore year. The 2 remaining years was optional. I opted out of PE for the Junior and Senior year. I graduated from high school in 1977.
Hi...Jason and Brooke from Scotland
Omy gracious. The pretzel story made me lose it guys. I had a bad day and I needed that laugh. Man. Thats great
I'm watching this Wednesday morning, and here in central Wisconsin, it's going to be 100° with a heat index of 110° today! I don't know how you all can even be outside in weather like that, let alone work!
I love watching you all and hearing about your lives..so funny!!
I'm in a skilled nursing home for rehab which has been difficult. So it is definitely a joy to see you on You Tube
I benefitted from being the 9th of 10 children. When my older sisters started high school they had to make their own clothes if they wanted more than the two skirts and a few tops they had. Or get a job. One of my sisters scrounged for shoes to wear that fit. By the time they had gone to college and I was in high school my mother was working too, and had some money to spend on school clothes, and took us to Sears. I wore their hand me downs most of my life. That's my return to school memory. Hahaha. But I loved school, for the most part.
Oh now we are homeschooling. I have 7 kids. 2 just graduated from public school. 3 are currently in public school. Our 8th grader we have been homeschooling/unschooling also since 4th grade. And a new little ready to learn
Back in the day, we didn't go back to school until after Labor Day which is in beginning of September! Ah....good old days!
Hey Jason & Brooke, I'm 53, and my year was '87. And boy oh boy, I remember from 6 grade thru 9th I had PE. I hated changing in front of anyone, but we had no choice. And when we came back in the locker room, we had to shower (without doors or curtain) before redressing unless P.E was the last period. Those were the days. They don't do PE now. I have 6 grandkids from 6 grade thru 11th and it's not a requirement here. I'm in South Florida, Broward County that is. I loved the trip down memory lane. I saw on another page Raggedy Ann & Raggedy Andy Dolls and I got so emotional. Do you guys remember those doll?Love you guys, thx for sharing.
My niece loved Raggedy Ann and Andy as a little girl. One year for Christmas I painted a set of ceramic Ann and Andy for her. They turned out so cute! As far as I know she still has them!
I can remember the gym uniforms in school, in middle school they were cotton and in high school they were a poly knit. And we had to shower with no curtains! Now days there is probably a law against that.
I am76 and I am still friends with 4 of my friends from school....! We still get together once a year for a long weekend! I loved school!
I dreaded school starting back up... I just loved summer vacation!!
