  1. Until I read your post, I never knew anyone found, "Oh, my God," offensive. For what it's worth, a Christian school may not be any different. I attend a large Christian (Baptist) university and hear that sort of thing all the time from professors.
  2. Don't limit yourself from an advanced degree due to money. I'm in grad school now at a fairly expensive private school and my program provides tuition remission (meaning I don't pay tuition), plus a stipend on which to live. I still need loans, but they are very small, about $2000 per semester. If I did not have a son living at home, I could get a room mate, live cheaper, and not have loans at all. I'm in the science area and pretty much every graduate program I looked at was similar as far as the financial situation went. State schools did not have quite as good a deal, but they were already less expensive so it worked out about the same in the long run. What I'm trying to say is don't just look at a college catalog, see the tuition and run the other way. My school is about $40,000 a year for tuition, room, board, etc, but very few students actually pay all that.
  3. I'm in Waco, but I have graduated my son so am no longer homeschooling. Most of my friends here are still homeschooling though, so I stay connected to that community.
  4. I'm 4' 10". My sister is just a hair under that and our mom is 5 even. We all drive just fine except for having to sit very close which is dangerous with an airbag. You can buy pedal extensions, but none of us ever have. We shop the petite dept, hem, and wear capris. A step stool is a must for the kitchen and my mom uses a "grabber" sometimes. I have been known to climb the shelves in a store if no one is around to ask for help. All my ceiling fans have extra-long chains.
  5. It's pretty standard protocol for those symptoms. (in my experience)
  6. 7 week preemie walked at 15 mth if you define, "walk," very loosely.
  7. I wanted to like Nutella, but it's just too sweet for me. Maybe, I'm not putting it on the right kind of stuff.
  8. Since he does not have his own inner cues yet, nor does her care about accidents, I would quit.
  9. My son took out a federal student loan in his name AND was required to sign for it himself both last year when he was 16 and this year when he was 17. I thought I would need to do it in my name since he is a minor, but the college said, "no." I believe his was a subsidized Stafford which is need based, but an unsubsidized Stafford is not need based so your dd should at least be able to qualify for that. Also PLUS loans can be obtained by the student if the parents are turned down, but not sure if age would be a factor there. Edited to add that he has both subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans.
  10. It seems as good as any other Christian church as far as their core beliefs go. They overuse "intentional" as a buzz word (in my opinion.) I'm not interested in a Christian church, but if I were, this one would be of more interest than say a small church with few activities for children and teens, and where the congregation is very traditional in worship style. I guess my answer to your question is, "yes."
  11. I think the top toppled, BUT I like how they left it open to interpretation.
  12. :iagree: I saw it this evening and LOVED it! You have to actually think while watching.
  13. Hmmm, interesting view point. Most of the Bible is open to multiple interpretations, hence so many different Christian denominations.
  14. I got a combo Hep A and B shot a few weeks ago and it burned quite a bit.
  15. I read the reference you linked. They seem to be making a case that 1 Corinthians 7:2 means that "sexual immorality" is premarital sex or other sex outside marriage. The other verses that use the term, "sexual immorality" are then cited as a case against premarital sex. While I understand that viewpoint, it seems that 1 Corinthians 7:2 could actually be referring to groups of people having sex and therefore, the need for each man to have a wife and each woman a husband. Just my 2 uninformed cents...
  16. Ours closes at 5 year-round. (also in Texas)
  17. When I taught public school, I had 6th graders who were pregnant, one for the second time. I was under the impression from the video that a student would have to know enough about sex and condoms to come ask for them. It was more of matter of them being available, not promoted. I know there is no age restriction in Texas for buying condoms, but maybe other states are different.
  18. I voted for over 10 times a year, but I should add that my son is 17.
  19. Unfortunately, yes, it happens fairly often. A few people, usually the same few, can be very hateful.
  20. I have not done this, but considered it at one time. The book, Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic, was a big factor along with teaching at a Catholic school and attending required Catholicism classes for non-Catholic teachers. After much searching, I ended up more Buddhist than anything.
  21. I just flew SW over Spring Break and saw lots of families with toddlers preboarding. You might double check at their website though. We did not pay for early bird check-in, but I made sure and did the online check-in as soon as it opened up (24 hours before flight) , and we were always in the 'A' boarding group.
