<p>Drae, when you are in Philadelphia, you might want to look at Tyler too. I do not know if there is any craft or woodwork going on there, but there is probably sculpture. It is a beautiful art school–very new.</p>
<p>Ugh bummer!</p>
<p>heffalumps, wozzles and moderators?
I think I better start checking in more often, must have missed some excitement, have up to my eyebrows the past week.
Soups . . . had a wonderful squash apple soup in November and am going to try to
recreate it, it was a blended thing, only problem, my blender might not work as I
cracked the bottom piece and haven’t replaced it so I might end up with blended
squash and apple all over the counter. But I’m going to give it a shot this week.
Duck for Christmas this year I believe, did my first in years two years ago and
it was so good it was definitely worth the effort. Cherry sauce back then but I’ve discovered
that those little jars of Swedish Lingonberries are excellent with any kind of fowl, sort of like Swedish cranberries. I’ve even been using them on chicken, turkey sandwiches.
As for the other “year of” types of forums, the amount of comparing of stats and assumption that admittance into “the best” sort of schools is going to guarantee not only a stellar education but also admittance to the good life is a bit, actually more than a bit, unsettling. Not my sort of people, also while there’s admittedly something to be said about connections, they seem to forget that for every name person who went to stellar school there were thousands of other students we’ve never heard of. I don’t think going to X or Y school guarantees anything but the feeling I get from those forums is that that is the assumption and the general tone to me is just downright icky.</p>
<p>atually I think I saw that wield post from a stranger. I ws little confused and thinkng what this is talking about and move on… It is gone !
phillymom: I tried t Jeny’s ice cream yesteray and it is good, thanks!</p>
<p>switter: Duck has good cholesterol compare al other meat. This is what I was told by Chinese website.</p>
<p>bummer is right…
I have made a plea.</p>
<p>two down…be careful</p>
<p>Wield post?
Two down?
This sounds kinda fasincatin’ Someone PM me and fill me in if you’ve got the time. If not I’ll just let my imagination run amok.</p>
<p>I think I meant fascinatin’ but I kind of like fasincatin’ better</p>
<p>I would like to hear from someone about what is going on too. So pls pm me when you pm Artie!</p>
<p>I’m also wondering about a certain proud Mom of a CMU kid — strangely silent. Worrying. And all this because of some rhetorical questions about air travel and “noblesse oblige”?</p>
<p>Why do I feel like I’m living in Buenos Aires in the 1970’s?</p>
<p>Don’t pm discussions. I think it’s against the rules. Just pm me with an email address spelled out like Johndoe at Verizon dot net if you want to be part of the pancake meeting thousand acre woods gang and other off line discussion.</p>
<p>this is a sad day.</p>
<p>sorry that I appeared to disappear. No heffalumps, woozles or other monsters have limited my postings but I did have a mild expletive taken out of a personal message to another CMU mom. She thought it was a bit much and a bit creepy that they filter the messages too.</p>
<p>I had a dental emergency and I am a complete and absolute coward. My dentist is not taking patients so on top of the clear-major-problem of the tooth I was anxious about this kind and gentle guy. I liked his approach so much that I barely flinched paying outrageous amounts for our dental care. So I asked friends about their dentist and one friend raved about her dentist so I got an emergency appointment…he is a god! zero, but zero pain (except for financial) for a crown and he moved like molasses so I didn’t get jumpy. Actually my pain and movement perception were more likely tied to the fact that I stole one of my son’s vicodin from his injuries last year and popped it before the appointment. I had never had them and except for feeling a little dizzy if I moved fast, I didn’t notice anything…I mean anything…pain, noise, all dulled by that little pill. Yep…drugs…got to love them! More news later. BTW thanks so much for the recommendations…particularly the no-test schools.</p>
<p>Greetings to all! I may be joining this thread to learn from you all after D1 matriculates to her BFA program this fall. </p>
<p>I’ll start with a question. Do first year BFA kids need to bring drawing/painting kits to school, or does the school provide the tool/material? If the students need to bring own stuff, what are the essentials for drawing/painting majors? Does each art school do this differently?</p>
<p>D1 doesn’t want to appear out of place for not bringing enough, bringing too much or bringing the wrong art stuff with her.</p>
<p>fam…you are a free being!! and a pain free being. glad you are still around.</p>
<p>paper chase - there was a thread where people shared lists. I will look for it. If you have a place to buy art supplies at a good price it you might want to get some of it done before she goes. There will be very specific supplies for each class so some of it wil have to wait but we did send our son up with basic stuff. It made for good graduation presents.</p>
<p>Oh and… welcome to the launch! So good to have you join us. Congrats on your D. Do you know where she will go? what she will major in?</p>
<p>This thread had a lot of info:

<p>this one a bit less:

<p>Welcome and let us know where your D will be going. My D found she brought way too much personal stuff the first year -her skull collection, dice collection, probably every children’s book she owned. She brought a lot less this year. As far as art supplies, she brought her basic stuff, pencils, markers, some paints, brushes, etc. and well as several sketchbooks. Each class required different materials, and you can’t predict that, ie 15" illustration board, etc. The 3D classes required all kinds of different materials, fabric, wood, metal, etc, and there’s no way you could predict that. Most schools we visited had an art supply store close by or on campus. Once you let us know where she is going, someone on this list will have or know of a student that goes there, and be able to addres your question a little better. You will enjoy us, as we are a pretty diverse group.</p>
<p>drae27 & redbug119, thanks!</p>
<p>If finaid is sufficient, D1 will be going to WashU to study drawing/painting.</p>
<p>Hello paperchaserpop, back in the day I was at WashU myself and bought most of the supplies I needed at their excellent bookstore. Some called it Wash You then (affectionately), and there was none of this WUSTL stuff.</p>
