I would talk to a lawyer about your options. Sounds like some things weren't disclosed.

Solid oak given to me by my grandma. It was the first table she had when she was married and made by one of her neighbors. When she gave it to me, it was painted green and yellow. My dh and I stripped the paint from it and that was when we realized it was oak. On the down side, it is small. It is a tight squeeze to fit six and that is with very little food on the table. But every time I look at it, I remember my grandma. When she was alive, I asked her why she painted it, to match her kitchen, of course.:001_smile:

I'm a lefty and have never had a problem using right handed scissors. Guess I just adapted. I remember when I lived in San Diego and there was this store in Sea Port Village that sold stuff for the lefty. Wow, I never realized how much I had to overcome in my life:001_smile:

No, I will be happy to do fun stuff with them but wouldn't take on the schooling issue. It will be my dds turn and I'll support them in what they choose.

How about "We made our decision and it's not open to debate or discussion." Great weather we're having isn't it.

I have administer the Iowa to my dd 4 times. The social studies section is very generic and has little to do with actual history and as another poster said is very pc. I used the results to see what areas I needn't to tighten up in. One year dd's reading comprehension was not where it needed to be. The next school year, I addressed that in the curriculum and bought stuff geared to improve just that. Another year, the same thing except with some language area. Again, I looked at the results and asked how I could help achieve a better result. With math, keeping plugging away. Kids develope skills at various ages and his brain may not be ready yet but one day it will. My only suggestion there is to find a curriculum that seems to work and stick with it. Jumping around in math curriculums can lead to gaps. Take what your friend said with a grain of salt and move on.

When we rented, the landlord took care of those things.

Dh is a pastor and we probably have 20+ along with some in German, Greek and Hebrew.

Let the days just happen:001_smile: Enjoy the hiking and swimming!

I think you are being overprotective. If you are concerned about your in-laws energy level, send them one at a time. I hope to be a grandma one day and look forward to making wonderful memories.

I would never dream of laughing or bringing to someone's attention on the way they speak. You have already told her that you've have some problems when you speak and she still brings it up:confused: You deserve a better friend then this, drop her.

Have you looked at BJU? My dd did it in 9th as a year long course but it could be done in a semester. Good luck.

Sounds like it was the seller's error. I would ask for a refund and she should gladly give it to you:001_smile:

Makes me proud to live in a country where men and women volunteer to defend our nation. May God bless them and keep them in His loving care.

Take the meds. When my dh was in the parish, a member's daughter almost died from a sinus infection that went into her brain. She was in the hospital for a month and it took her a long time to fully recover.

I purchased the schedule from Sonlight and dd followed that. She's spend about an hour a day.

No, I don't feel any guilt. When our youngest was in traditional school, I approached my dh about going back to work. He said he was more then happy to be the sole provider but if I felt it was something I wanted to do then go for it. Instead, I started subbing in our dds school. I quickly changed my mind about working fulltime. Of course I didn't know at that time I would be homeschooling our youngest. When dd is done with school, I think I'll put in for early retirement.:001_smile: My dh will be the first to say he loves me being at home. It has made his job so much easier.

One of the most powerful speeches I've heard in a long time. It was very moving.

If you never start, you'll never finish:001_smile: Hope you have a fabulous year!

Our neighbor had this problem last summer. They paid around $5000 for the job. The house sits back in the cul-de-sac so they had more pipe to replace. A section of their yard was torn up but they reseeded it when they were done. Get a couple of quotes before you proceed. Good luck.

For the first couple years of homeschooling, I didn't share the results. In many ways dd has never felt she's as smart as other kids. When I started to share the results with her, I could see how this helped to challenge that perception. She also seemed more willing to work on areas that I thought needed improvement.

Have never seen or heard of this being done in LCMS churches. I would leave in a heartbeat if something like this happened in the church I attend.

I would support her through her pregnancy and pray that she would chose to give the baby up for adoption.

I have been for 22 years. He was pastor of a congregation for 4 years and now is a chaplain in the USN. I much prefer the navy life:001_smile:

:grouphug: Praying that all goes well.
