Teaching Kids about guns?

A summer camp has contacted me about teaching kids how to use air rifles. Safety, responsibility, respect and concentration are all valuable lessons to be learned.
The kids will be 14-17. They will be on public assistance or working poor. They will be white, black and hispanic, probably some other ethnicities as well, but no distinct majority. They will be from a small city that has seen better days.
I have a budget of $500 for equipment and $250 for supplies, maybe a little more.
First and foremost, I was thinking a way to secure the guns. They have lockers, but I’d also add gun locks.

What wholesale tack catalogs are best? We’re starting a horse boarding facility & want to open a tack shop too

We’re just getting started and I’d like to begin making product selections. Can you recomend wholesale companies for horse decor, tack, equine supplies, feed and supplements, vet care, toys, ect. We’ll be opening in the Central texas area and there aren’t any nice tack stores near buy- It would be great for people boarding, neighbors with horses, the kids that come to horse camp, and our web site. Thanks!

Going camping away from baby (pumping question) 10pts. Already asked once but need more answers please!!!?

My fiance and I and a bunch of our friends are going camping for 4th of july weekend and my parents are babysitting my son. I breastfeed and supplement with formula. I have pumped enough milk for almost a week for him so thats not a problem. I’m just wondering if I really NEED to pump every 3 hours (about how often he eats) while I’m gone or can I just pump when I feel full. I’m wondering if it will greatly affect my supply, its just for 3 days. We’re going to be fishing and rafting and drinking and just having a really good time, so I don’t want to have to pump all the time, ya know….but if I need to I will….Let me know what you think, no negative answers please.

Also, They have wipes for cleaning your pump on the go….I’ve been planning this trip for like 6 months….Theres nothing wrong with taking a break for 3 days. All I wanted to know was if it would be fine to pump when full instead of on a schedule.<——Answer to anybody who says how am I gonna make pumping sanitary while camping because sombody said that last time I asked.

Also, last time I asked this somebody said i was “sad and selfish” for wanting to go camping and “leave my kid”. My son is very well taken care of and thats what I mean by negative answers. Theres nothing wrong with getting a break, this will be the first trip I have taken and I’ve never been away from him except for a few hours so…Thanks in advance for answers!
Okay, i KNOW I need to pump, but my question is, can I just wait until I get full in my boobs, or should I do it every 3 hours like when my kid eats!?!!? I KNOW I will get engorged if I don’t pump, lol…..duh.

What’s something good to bring on a road trip?

k, i am going on a camping trip, and we have everything packed up. Obviously, two kids in the back seat are gonna get bored after driving for so long. What should i bring for my sister and i? (My sis is 10) I am thinking of bringing: Paper, art supplies, books, madlibs, what else? By the way, i can bring pretty much whatever i want, since we have an rv, with alot of storage place. thanks!

What can I cook for 40 people while camping?

We are going camping with a group of about 40 people (27 adults & 14 kids under 10yrs old) and we are all taking turns making one meal for everyone (I am doing a dinner). I don’t know what to make. I was going to make Jambalaya rice with smoked sausage because it is cheap and easy, but there are about 30 people that don’t like spicy food. What ever I cook needs to be cooked on a camp stove (they have a big 4 burner one for everyone to use in the group). I also don’t want it to cost a lot since this trip is going to already cost around $700 for food, gas, campsite, and other supplies we need.

Oh and I am going to meet my fiancé’s dad for the first time and I want to impress him. No pressure at all right? =/

Things other people are already making:
Frito Pie/hot dogs
Carne Asada
Burgers and Dogs
BBQ beef sandwiches

After Child Support to ex-wife, Should husband pay for extras?

Let me start by stating that my husband is a good father. He spends quality time with all his children (2 w/ex-wife & 2 w/me). He gets my 2 step-children on the weekends and has never canceled on picking them up, he’s never been late on child support, and he’s never been in arrears. Also, he drives an hour to pick them up and an hour to drop them off b/c it’s cheaper to live out of the city. She got the house when they divorced & we’re still in an apartment. And, this past summer, she claimed she had to take a trip & asked that he keep them the whole summer instead of the 1 month that’s outlined in the decree. He agreed b/c he wants his children at all costs & she kept the child support checks all summer. The point is that he’s a wonderful dad and not a deadbeat. His ex-wife petitioned the divorce b/c she claimed she married too young and wanted out. Now, recently his ex-wife has been asking him if he would agree to pay for camps, school supplies, dance classes, piano classes, etc. It never seems to stop. My question is: Should he pay for extras??? I’m starting to wonder if she’s using him or does she really need the help for the children. Mind you she makes more money than him. I don’t want to come off as the greedy step-mom, but, should he feel obligated to pay for extras or should she make ends with what he gives? Please no bias answers from mothers who don’t receive child support from their children’s fathers. Believe me, there are men out there who do their fatherly duties. His ex-wife just wanted out regardless that he’s a wonderful husband and provider.
Oh, we also pay for health insurance, which I’m sorry is pretty expensive. When I got married, I jthought that my hubby would just pay child support and health insurance. And, of course a car when they’re 16, college, & of course the weddings. But, piano lessons? He still should pay more?

Camping with kids?

I’m taking my 3 kids camping this weekend with my parents, while hubby stays home (he has to work, and is NOT a camper!). I’m wondering what all I should pack for the kids to keep them busy & occupied. It’s a small private peice of land that was given hook up’s and what not that my dad’s boss owns. It’s not a traditional campground- no playground, no camp store, no basketball court, etc. It’s on a river, but it’s one that isn’t suitable for swimming (at least at that spot).

So, what should I take or pack for them? I have not taken them camping since I was pregnant with my youngest, and my middle child didn’t do well (he was only 2), so we have not done this before. My kids are 10, 7, and 4. Any idea’s?

Camping With The Kids Question???

My husband and i are taking the kids camping at his moms cottage, we figure it’ll do the kids some good to have the experiences of camping while being outdoors. Mt problem is this my mother in law lives on a small island so her home is surrounded by water so i am deathly afraid that my 4yr old son who is very defiant and very daring will leave the tent in the middle of the night and purhaps go into the lake and drown cause he can’t swim yet.
Would it be wrong of me to padlock the zipper from the inside while i’m in there to prevent this from happening or do you think he’ll be to afraid to leave the tent?
My husband thinks he’ll be fine but in our own apartment he tore out his screen and crawled out the window(basement apartment) and hopped on a city bus for 2 blocks before the driver brought him home.(the things kids do when they go to bed or when your not looking, sheesh)
what should i do? I’m really afraid and considering cancelling the trip because of this.
going to the bathroom isn’t a problem he is still wearing pullups to bed at night.

Should KIDS be allowed to take cell phones to camp?

Lately, there has been some controversy regarding certain camps in my community and their policies for parents and children. The current policy is that the kids attending the camp cannot bring cell phones, cameras and/or call their parents. The mission of the camp is to teach children independence and responsibility AWAY from their parents and the camp directors believe that if the children are in constant contact with their parents, it defeats the purpose of trying to foster independence from them.

Should the kids be allowed to take their cell phones and talk to their parents while at camp or not?? The camp is for 2 weeks and the ages of the children participating range between 8-18.

Personally, I would NEVER support a camp that would not allow minor children to contact their parents/guardians at any time of their stay. What do you think??

thanks for sharing your thoughts

How can i get a large group of hyper kids to take a nap?

Im helping this lady with a day camp…It’s made of mostly younger kids, 5-10 years old…We tried to have them take a nap today, but they were so hyper, and we didn’t know what to do to calm them down.. I know that you can do an activity with a lot of running and such, to calm them down… is there anything else I can do??
Well look, it’s not like we’re forcing them to go to sleep, we just want to do something to calm them down. We took a vote to see how many of them would like a time to nap throughout the week, and about 3/4 of them raised their hand. We were going to have them sleep, but their energy grew, so me and the supervisor decided that it would be a good idea for me to look it up, and see if there was anything to help them fall asleep, if them still wanted to.

My best friend always wants to take this kid with him everywhere. What should I do?

I am a 49 year old, single, straight male. My best friend is a 57 old, single gay male. I haven’t been in a relationship in about 2 years due to health and financial problems and my friend, I’ll call him “Dave” has not been in a relationship in over twenty years, not even really dated. Anyway, we have been good friends for about twenty years. We go to the movies, go to lunch, stuff like that. Dave is a pretty strange guy I have to say, a lot of weirdness about him. But I’m no picnic either, and have problems with depression, weight gain, etc, but I do like to date and get out when I am able-Dave does not though, he says he’s had it with the dating scene. Anyway, the thing is Dave has this think about boys. I know it sounds weird but he always likes to be friends with a little boy. I’ve seen him go through about three of them now, he starts out befriending them when they are about 7, 8 or 9, usually neighborhood kids, and then when they reach adolescence they usually don’t want to hang around with Dave anymore and he finds a new one. I’ve had a hard time dealing with this over the years because it just seems so weird. And I’ve told him that and so have his other friends (“in so many words”) over the years too that its just kind of strange. The problem is now Dave is friends with this kid I’ll call Bobby who is about 10. And whenever I try to plan something with Dave he automatically tries to include Bobby with whatever it is we are doing. Sometimes he even takes the kid camping but I won’t go because that just seems even too strange to me. As friends, we are all expected to be on board with this friendship that Dave has with Bobby, if you even mention it in a negative way he gets very defensive. He is vehemently against pedophiles, and I truly believe he has never touched one of these kids or ever would-but then I think I read somewhere that pedophiles are more emotionally about kids then they are physically, is that true? Who is the one with the problem? Me because I can’t accept hanging around Dave when this kid has to be around, or Dave because he always wants this kid around? The other think is too, Bobby has two sisters about the same age and Dave won’t take them anywhere. I mean, I know hey, maybe the guy just likes kids, but it seems so weird that its always boys he hangs around with and he will never take Bobby’s sisters anywhere and doesn’t want to be around them. Me, I really just don’t like kids that much I guess-I have gone to the park with Dave and Bobby before and it was kind of fun I guess, but really I prefer to be around adults. What should I do? Should I just be more accepting of Dave and his penchant for hanging around with kids or should I regard this as really just too weird and find new more normal friends?

What was your worst camping experience?

What was your worst camping experience?
Hi. My husband and I decided to take 6 kids camping with us and 2 of them were mine. The rest were my nieces aged from 6-13. My kids Lizzy age 2 and Maddie age 4 and my nieces Alayna age 6, Nicole age 10, Jaymee age 11 and Britney age 13. I am 28 myself and my husband is 29. We decided since Alayna, Nicole and Jaymee haven’t seen Britney since 2009 (Britney moved, but shes moved back into the area) we would take them all camping, BAD IDEA. Well lets start from the begining, we were packing up for 1 weeks trip. All of that food, blankets, pillows, toys etc. We filled up 2 cars with all that stuff (we took 3 total). So we get all packed up and leave. Now Britney has never been camping before. As soon as we got up there Nicole, Jaymee and Britney went to the bathroom and complained about how dirty it was and was recording on the phone saying “the camp store is cleaner than those bathrooms”. Then they were talking in hillbilly voices (ANNOYING) and wouldnt shut up while me and my husband were trying to put up our trailer tent. They were singing very loudly with hillbilly voices. Then all the little kids were throwing fits because some couldnt sit by Britney and blah blah blah (They did this alot). Then they argued over who got the tenis racket (we only ahd 3) and the younger kids were screaming and crying because the older kids wouldnt give them turns. Then we let them take a walk on their own before dinner was ready (all together) and who-ever was the “brilliant one” and decided to teach the little kids to knock over port a pottys and chase golfcarts and it was raining too and i went to go look for them and they were going to the place where they tell you what activites there is to do that night (WE TOLD THEM BEFORE WHAT ACTIVITES THERE WAS) and i picked up the little kdis in my car there was no room for the big kids so i made them walk and (stalked them) to make sure they go back to the tent. Then we took them to the park and they were argueing over the teet or tot and my daughter got a splinter and it strated pouring it was horrible, Went back to the tent. Then Nicole wanted to sleep by Britneyy tonight (they stay upo and talk and giggle so NO). She has the biggest fit ever and cried and said “your not the boss of me” and “im not eating ” and “my mom made me come on this trip i didnt want to i hate you” and she called her mom and asked to be picked up (Her mom refused to drive because the campsite was 2 1/2 hours away and it was 7pm). So then we ate dinner and they went to the creek now my 2 year old daughter was scared to walk in the water and Jaymee was holding her and asked help from Nicole and Britney but they just left them and went up more in the creek, that irratated me. Then they went to roast marshmellows and burnt everyone of them ON PURPOSE (the older kids im talking about) so it was in the fire. I yelled at them. So theyw ent into the camper. There bed was being help up by 2 steel rods and they jumped ON PURPOSE (they know not too) and one cracked so we yelled at them. Then we went to bed from 9pm-12:30am they were up ALL NIGHT (dont ask why i have NO IDEA they woke me and my husband up, we didnt have any sleeping pills either) shaking the camper, bouncing up and down, making fart noises, whispering, laughing, getting in and out of the camper being OBNOXIOUS (the OLDER kids not the younger ones). Then at 4:30am Nicole was yelling “lets gather around the campfire and sing our campfire song” in a hillbilly voice. I yelled at them to go to bed and this is never happening again and were leaving tomorrow. I turned the TV off at 1:00am so they were doing this in pitch blackness. The little kids were asleep the whole time NOT US. We yelled at them constantly but they didnt care. So the next day we got the lil ones up at 6am and ate breakfast and went golfing (mini golfing) and i dont know why i wasted the 10$ on the older kids cuz they were being smarta$$es and using their hands (video recording it) and going on seperate courses cuz they didnt wanna wait for the lil ones. They said to me in a hillbilly voice “wasnt that a great game of golf arnt we the best golfers” Then we went past a sign that said have a beary good day and theyre like “aunt zoey r u having a beary good day” and saying beary after EVERYTHING they said. We told them to pick up the ground before we left they threw everything in the fire and video recorded it (That made me furious) so I told them to go to the car. They are the most disgustingest people ever. They didnt bring deodarent ON PURPOSE and lifted their arms up (they were sitting there for 45 minutes and doors wer shut) My car windows were foggy and oh my god we had to air out the car i made them leave all the doors open and sprayed them with febreeze for 10 minutes. Then Nicole lifted her arms up again while we were driving I yelled at her. We went home t

Need help with choosing camping supplies?

Hello I am planing on going camping a lot in freezing cold weather… I have a lot of experience camping but never used my own gear… I would like to own a camping backpack, a jacket, a pair of heavy duty pants, water proof durable gloves, and anything else you think I will need… I think I found a jacket and pants (but if you think there is a better option please tell me). I do need help finding the other items. Please give me any help you can. Thank you!

What are some ideas of business I can use integrated with basketball?

I’m a 30 year old man. Too old to go to the Pros. LOL However, my love for basketball is so great. I’m wondering how I can own my own business and integrate basketball within the business as the main source. Examples: Basketball supply store, Basketball camp, etc. I need some more ideas please. Help me out.

What supplies should I bring for my camping trip?

I intend to go camping next year, for multiple weeks, during winter in Mississippi (my home town), when it’s nice and cool out. I will mainly walk all day through the woods, and sit down and sleep at night, at a somewhat random spot. This means I’d sleep, eat, walk through, and be in unpredictable terrain- clear, grassy fields, muddy swamp areas, woodlands, etc. I will have a friend along with me. I was hoping someone could help me, I need to know what supplies would be important to bring. Example- what kind of sleeping supplies, what kind of food, and tools, and etc I should bring along with me. And, of course, consider emergency supplies, if something is to happen, and the trip takes longer than planned. I’d like to be fully prepped. And, if possible, can I order it online? I prefer to order online, but I could easily run down to Wal-Mart, or some other store. If I can order online, please do provide a link. In advance, I appreciate your help.
Also, once I am to wake up from sleeping, I intend to continue walking, and repeat the process, for around a week. Then stay a few days at one location that took a week or so to get to, then start to return. Again, that means I’ll sleep in unpredictable places.

Yosemite question regarding the General store in the Winter.?

Does anyone know if the General store ( the big grocery store ) in Yosemite village is open year round? I am planning a camping trip in late December of ’07 and would like to know. We usually bring enough food and drinks, but one can never be sure and it would be nice to get additional supplies.
Thanks very much for all your hard work.

solving word problems using linear equations.?

Juanita and Keenan own a camping supply store and just put in an order for flashlights and sleeping bags. The number of flashlights ordered was five times the number of sleeping bags.

What type of food should I take camping?

I’m riding the C&O Canal from start to finish (185miles) in two days so I’ll be camping one night. What type of food is good for a trip like this? I always take dried fruit and granola bars but I’ll be needing a breakfast, lunch and dinner at some point. I will not have a camp stove, but fires are permitted in some of the camping areas. I’m looking for something pre-packaged, small, fairly yummy, can get stuffed in a pack and extremely to prepare.

Thanks for the help peoples!

What do 3 teenage girls take camping?

Me and my friends are 15 year old girls. My parents told me that in the summer they will take us camping and leave us there all day on our own, then come back at night. There’s a beach and everything but if we’re there for a few days on our own for several hours, we might get bored. Its an average campsite so there’s a bunch of trails to go on. But we’re gunna want to do more interesting things. If my parents are coming back at night, i think drinking and partying is out of the question. Any ideas?

What is the best kind shampoo and conditioner should I take camping?

I know bugs love to eat ppl that smell sweet, so there any kind of shampoo and conditioner that they don’t like as well. And for tht fact soap also.
