How to get friend to stop sending pictures of her kids?

March 62010

My friend has the ugliest kids I have ever seen. Every Christmas she dresses them in matchy matchy outfits and hauls them off to the photography studio where she spends loads on pictures. My husband and I cannot stand the pictures and are terrified to look at them when we get them in the mail. How can I politely tell her to save her money and quit sending me the pictures?
Trust me even you would say they are ugly!

That’s a horrible thing to say and I can’t believe you still have the nerve to call her your friend while in the same breath you call her children ugly. They’re beautiful in her eyes and that’s all that matters. If you don’t want the pics tell her so. Don’t bash her poor kids on the internet. Seriously!

Concrete Dancefloor – Japan

March 42010

March 2010

Spectacular moves and thumping beats liven up the streets of Tokyo at night. Japanese kids practice their moves in every thinkable style to show off in a host of trendy new underground dancing clubs.
Were all students and have no money to go to a dance studio”. In the concrete jungle, crowds of young Japanese street dancers come out at night to use the smooth floor and reflecting glass walls of office towers as their improvised studio. Eccentric and loud, those kids like to make a statement and the trend is taking the Japanese youth culture by storm: Instead of learning ballet, more and more join the street dancing crowd.

Do I Need a Photo Release Form for Pictures of Kids?

March 22010

I’m having parents submit photos of their kids for a children’s book I’m working on. Do I need some kind of release form for those pictures? Because their Minors? Because they are someone else’s photos?

My day care providers have always had me sign a release just so they could take pictures of my kids. I think it would be a good idea, just in case.

Michael Jackson’s Kids *Extremely Rare Pictures*

March 12010

Michael’s Kids are just like normal everyday children. They laugh, cry, and PLAY like normal kids do.
Michael was.. IS and amazing father. They got a chance to be around kids just like them despite the rumors that Michael kept them locked away 24/7 surrounded by mannequins. He had his reasons for concealing their identities when they were out in public, and they turned out just fine :)

Is it weird not to want your kids pictures on the interenet, not even facebook?

February 282010

I NEVER put my chidren’s pictures on the interenet. In fact, I only ever tell people the age and number of children if I am personally chatting with them. Someone tagged me with photos and one was of me and my kids. I emailed them and said that I LOVED the photos. And inquired about the one that I really liked of them in a field. Than I mentioned that I don’t put my kids photos on the interenet and asked them to delete it. Now this family member just untagged ALL the photos and never said anything. I am wondering if they are mad again? ( everytime I tell him to stop telling me I’m weird and make fun of me for being different than him, he gets mad at me for not taking a joke). Now I am wondering if he is upset again… is this wierd to not tolerate any of my kids pictures online (unless I send them in an email)??

To not post info, pictures of your kids, family and yourself to me is the wisest thing one can do.

I keep all of my info to a very bare minimum for security, cause there is someone around every corner just looking for a sucker.

You can wake up this family member by spending $50 with your attorney and having them send a letter of cease action or legal action will be pursued. More or less a hollow threat letter, but 98% of people back off instantly due to fears of thousands in attorney fee’s on their behalf.

Protecting your own children should be taken at the highest level of security.

Working on range, mode, and median with my kids. Any pictures I can associate with the terms?

February 222010

In math, my second graders are working on range, mode and median. I want to make signs to put up on my bulletin boards that talk about the 3 terms, but I want to come up with some pictures the kids can associate with them. Any ideas? I’d like to have explanations to go with it.

Range, mode and median go with a set of numbers given.
Range – greatest number minus least number
Mode – number we see the most times
Median – middle number

Median = Middle …thats how i always remember it because it makes me remember its the middle number and the words sound the same

Mode=most…this is the same concept because the words sound the same
