The How Not to Act Old blog has a post on Tumblogging, a term I hadn't heard before. 'Rather than a conventional string of written posts, a tumblog is a collection of quotes, photos, videos, and thoughtlets'. The author Pamela Satran found this lovely tumblog on bookshelves, for example. I'm enjoying reading through this blog.
K went over to a new friend's house after school yesterday. I was a bit concerned when he texted me with his plans and I didn't even know the kid's last name, address or what he looked like. M was home, so he 'casually' cycled over to the school and waylaid them with some kind of excuse. He managed to meet the kid and obtain an address and off they went. I had K write his friend's details in the phone book. Call us over-protective. We're feeling less overwhelmed with a semester system, where you take 4 subjects per term. Of course, we'll have to wait and see what the results look like. The downside is he doesn't have any Math until next year. L was demonstrating the use of a graphing calculator last night. It plots graphs and solves equations. Apparently those weren't around prior to 1985 and have evolved since then.

You are right to be careful! You just never know, Christine.
Roxi had to get one of those graphing calculators this year. I have no idea how it works. I don't think I ever had to take a math class that needed one of those. Let's just say, math wasn't my best subject. LOL!!!
Love your blog! Over protective... not at all. I make my girls crazy I am sure with keeping tabs on them but they don't know as much as they think they do.
Japra, that sounds early for Roxi to be using graphing calculators, wow. K just uses a Scientific calculator. Thanks for backing me up on being careful.
Together We Save, thanks for visiting. I liked your blog too. Yes, these kids think they are adults already sometimes.
OH dear I didn't realise Blogging was so 2008!!! LOL
Thanks for the heads up about Tumblogging Christine.
And you are definitely not overprotective, just sensible, caring parents.
:-)
