I wouldn't want to be homeschooled, lol. I've met too many homeschooled kids who didn't know how to interact with kids their own age. Not saying all of them are, but a ton of homeschooled kids I've met have been socially inept, because their parents kept them locked up at home their whole lives, being way overprotective. Then there's the other end of the spectrum, where homeschooled kids are perfectly normal; they just don't go to school and in many cases are smarter than a lot of public schooled kids, lol.

So, in a lot of cases, there's benefits and down sides. Just like with public schools, and private schools.
A knee replacement?

my dad's been mildly contemplating that, but he's waiting until his disintigrates on him, lol. That's my dad for you. Half dose of all meds, and avioding surgery and the dentist as much as humanly possible. (He doesn't like vaccines either

)
