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:

DYK I took the girls to a lacrosse game at Univ of MD & Rach said she wanted to go there, she liked the campus or what she saw of it


DYK she's been there for basketball tourneys & camps as well as lacrosse clinics....DH was happy since its a state college for us


DYK I graduated from that campus but the academic standards have gone up considerably since & its become selective even for in-state applicants so we stressed grades are important


DYK studying & having the grades are the most important we tell her...athletics just opens the door, if you don't have the grades forget it no matter how good an athlete u r 4get it


DYK my DH went to a private school up to 8th gr then transferred to public HS so I'm not sure what his opposition to private school is


DYK next yr we may have more of a debate about this I suspect ;-)

DYK they've never had a pair of cowboy boots so they're different for them ;-) Jamie's are so cute & two colored while Rach's are just a light tan


DYK they want to wait until it gets colder to wear them, they can't understand how people in TX wear them yr round


DYK also the first time I had to help them put them on, they tried to put them on like shoes w/out pointing their foot, so they told me at first the boots didn't fit...DH & I were laughing

DYK have you let the kids go canoeing together and you & DH in the other yet? or getting along isn't that much of an issue?


DYK my DH grew up canoeing also....when his parents moved last yr to an age restricted community (i.e. retirement) they gave the canoe to his sister since she lives in WV & is more likely to use it


DYK he also enjoys rowing, which I'm not a fan of at all...he also knows how to kayak

Abby doesn't have unlimited texting, but she has 1500 a month.


We don't have a landline, so she has to use her cell.

I'm sorry about your friend, I hope she recovers quickly!


We are pretty much in the middle of the state, not too close to the gulf.


Now that they have changed the projected path a little, I'm not sure what we're supposed to get.


Whatever we get will be here Saturday sometime.


They have changed out forecast to actually say tornadoes, before they just mentioned it was possible.


I'm starting to freak out a little, lol.


We're supposed to go to a wedding reception Saturday, but I'm thinking we won't, it's an hour away, and in the direction of where Ike will hit.
