  1. What's that about clown orange, lol? Ok, so I am not quite the orange color that my artsy dh drew in our avatar, but close enough that I don't ever expect to dye my hair. I live by the montage: Redheads don't dye/die, they just fade away! 😄
  2. You crack me up, RootAnn, and have always had that ability! Well, at least we can keep in touch via comparing notes on oral surgeries this summer. No LINK in person this year!
  3. Oh, thank you everyone! I guess I had better get on this right away, then. My dd graduates next weekend virtually from her online academy and she is still hoping to go to Cedarville University for Getting Started Weekend in mid-August!
  4. Should we go ahead with dentist's recommendation (made last January) that our dd get her wisdom teeth out this summer? We live in NE. I was thinking if we do this, I would want the first appt. of the day!
  5. www.whio.com is out of Dayton, near where my ds is a first responder. And my dd is taking her first solo flight to go visit Cedarville University, and him, in less than two weeks. Ugh!
  6. My son is on the EMS/Fire Squad in that area. He said he was up for 23 hours, including driving the ambulance around and spotting funnel clouds in the darkness to report in to the news channels. Today he is out again, helping out in Dayton.
  7. I heard about Unlock Math here on this site (yeah for WTM forums!!!) and my friend who has two dc with CF is using it this year. She told me the other day she is loving it (although I think there was a bit of a 'ramp up'). One of her dc emails the instructor continuously (or so it seems to the mom) and the instructor is very responsive and helpful. I believe one is doing pre-algebra and the other Algebra 1.
  8. Yeah, I actually do have an MA in Linguistics (from back in the late '80's)...although I think I only snagged the interview because of having a friend in the school system that put in a good name for me!
  9. I just got a part-time job as a reading tutor in a local public school, and I love it! My background is linguistics, so teaching young children how to read is so rewarding and fun! My ds is a freshman in college this year and my dd is doing WHA full-time, basically, so this job is perfect as I work M-Th and have Fridays off in which I can proctor her tests and get laundry done. Going to a job interview for the first time in 20 years was more than a bit unnerving, I must say, but I am so thankful that I found a purpose so I do not have to pursue my second option as a WalMart greeter, lol! For you, though, it sounds like the para/assistant in that private school that offers potential tutoring jobs on the side might be a happy, good fit!
  10. This is the strategy that my dd wants to take. She is almost 17 and doesn't care about going in to a doctor. We will just have to 'play it by ear' (no pun intended, lol), but I will likely still call and check in with our regular physician in the morning...
  11. Thanks, all. And I won't use anymore peroxide, Spy Car...good call! I only just got home from a busy day today, but will call someone tomorrow...
  12. Dr.'s office is closed now for lunch and then I have an appt. right after that to help a friend with homeschool options for her dc with CF. Hmm...you all are making some good points, though, that I need to act on this sooner as opposed to later. I guess because there is no pain, it doesn't seem as serious...so I do not think of it as a regular 'wound', but it is!
  13. It looks so small, though...like you can barely even see it. Still the same advice?
  14. My dd came to me this morning with a pierced ear hole that has torn all the way down and out the bottom of the ear, leaving a 'slice' instead of a hole. I put a little hydrogen peroxide on it, but it did not bubble and does not look infected at all... Now what do I do? She can no longer wear earrings, obviously, but I do not know how to repair the tear and what priority it should take on my busy August list with a ds heading out-of-state to college for the first time in two weeks... Anyone already deal with this problem? Any advice from the Hive would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!! Brenda
  15. My friend who has no time due to a couple of dc having cystic fibrosis wanted me to check out Virtual Homeschool Group for her youngest who would be taking Saxon 5/4 Math AYOP (At Your Own Pace). She wants to know if this could be an option for her this fall if she has little free time to 'volunteer' or how does the volunteer part work. Feel free to share any other aspect of your experience with this group as well. Thanks, Brenda
