DYK Thread for September
**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**
DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know
It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members
Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

In a way I sort of think that's good
But maybe I'm just weird
But if you think about college and grad school (Like medical school, and then residency, which is 7 years total AFTER college, or more!!), you would be early 30's before you would be finished if you start late
Michael was 30 when he finally became an attending physician (and got a decent salary to support a family), and his birthday is April, so he wasn't that old for his class!
There are other similar professions, like law school, or getting a PhD (Although I think medicine is the worst education-wise)
Maybe I don't get it because my birthday is June, so there was no issue, but 17-turning-18 seems about right for senior in HS to me
And then you go to college the year you are 18-19
18 is when you become a legal adult, after all
Yes, kindergarten is definitely more academic now than when we were young
When I started kindergarten, I had turned 5 in June, but the funny thing was---I barely spoke any English, only Greek!!
Now THAT was tough, but my parents said I had become pretty fluent in English by Christmas time of that year
Kids learn so quickly, like little sponges!
I remind my kids of that story all the time when they complain about school, and they're sick of hearing it
Sort of like the "I walked for miles barefoot in the snow" story from some grandma, LOL!
I didn't realize you had your girls so early.
That's only a day different than ours.
Aly had a friend with an Oct 2 birthday. She was here that year (missed cut-off by 2 days), but they moved to TN the next year (military..dad's about to retire). In TN, the cut-off was later, so she actually skipped K and went straight into 1st and is the same grade as Aly.
Yes, my girls were born almost 7 weeks premature
After me being on bedrest since early July for preterm labor
I'm just glad I kept them in that long, LOL!!
