At the moment, https://friendoflearning.com/index.html , which is the current home page for friendoflearning.com, says Under Construction, which I'll remove soon.
But https://friendoflearning.com/index.php is the resurrected website I used for homeschooling my daughters. It didn't do everything, but it helped with keeping track of assignments, automating the next assignments, and generating and grading worksheets. The worksheets on the homepage are free for anyone to do.
One problem with the program for parents or teachers is that it was designed for a lot of email notifications to the parents as students logged in and completed assignments, and I need a way for that to be turned off because of the current laws regarding spam. All emails need to have an unsubscribe notice, and I need a way of complying with the law and blending it with the functionality of the website. I also need a page where users can control the messages they receive.
If any of my supporters here understand there might be some unwanted email if you create students and they log in, or as they complete assignments, and you're okay with that, then I can add you to the system if you request it by emailing me at [email protected].
Originally the site was designed for users to register themselves, but I need a way of controlling growth so it doesn't get out of hand. Requiring users to be my supporters gives the site a way to gain income as it grows, without requiring any outside investment. It also means I don't have to deal with processing people's credit cards. The cut that Locals and Stripe takes is a significant one, but everything has its cost.
Dr. Drew interviewed Scott Adams recently, and Scott Adams mentioned the absurdity that Republicans went to overthrow the government on Jan 6, but they neglected to bring their guns. On the first or second anniversary of the event, that alleged oversight made the narrative appear absurd to me, so I made a "video" that was supposed to be audio from January 6, captured on a video camera from which the lens cap had not been removed. I'm posting it again just because.
While I was waiting on hold to talk with a human at the IRS, I decided to put some food out for the dogs. I set the full bag of dog food on a chair, and walked away to get the bowls. When I turned around I saw the bag slowly tipping over, spilling much of its contents onto the floor. Fortunately I had help cleaning it up.
The main task for today is to begin revising McGuffey's Fourth Eclectic Reader. It may take a couple of weeks, possibly more. I still have to work at Publix, and next week I start a new job in the memory care unit of a rehab/nursing home facility, and I'll also be working at Publix at least one night.
After that I'll take a look at the double-slit experiment, and see if there is an interpretation that is consistent with my theory of wave physics.
Also, I came across the attached meme, which I had created two or three years (or so) ago. I thought I'd include it because I still like it.
I recently proposed a theory of matter and energy called Wave Physics. In this theory, the only things in the universe are energy and the universal membrane, which is the medium through which all energy is transfered and stored.
Tonight I realized that according to this theory, everyone and everything in the universe are connected to each other at all times. Things that would be impossible according to the standard model of particle physics, are very possible in the universe of wave physics. Psychic transmissions and the power of prayer are physically possible and make sense if the universe works in any way like the theory I proposed.
If you've ever heard the phone ring and felt sure who it was before answering it, and were proven correct, this makes sense in wave physics, but not with particle physics. If you've ever looked intently at someone, and had that person quickly turn and look directly at you (I have), that phenomenon makes sense if all of us are parts of the same vast, ...
I was only scheduled to work three days this week, so I decided to work on a theory I'd been playing around with for fun over the last few years. I'd never been a big fan of the standard model of particle physics, so a few years ago, just for fun, I thought about exploring some alternate ideas, with zero training and zero experiments.
This week I wrapped up a few loose ends, and posted it to a community I created called Wave Physics. Originally I had called it Alternative Physics, but I changed my mind, so the link still has alternativephysics in it, but the community name is Wave Physics. I'd love for people to pay $5.00 a month to tell me how wrong I am.

I also posted it on my personal website:
