  1. One time two of my kids filled their free water cups at Chipotle with lemonade. I didn't know about it until we got back to the car. But we tromped back into the store and paid for the lemonade and then they paid me back with their own money when we got home. I think that made an impression and I don't think they will ever do it again!

  2. I can't speak to all the things, but my DD had 6 weeks of doxycycline after her Lyme Dx; her symptoms were severe. She has not had recurrent problems.

    Same with my DD.

    Although we also eat fermented foods regularly so she has lots of good bacteria in her system. I think that helped her not have any adverse reactions to the doxy. She also took some quality probiotics and Florastor.

  3. Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, WV has an excellent music department and music education major. And Shepherd is very generous with music and merit scholarships. It is not a very selective school as far as overall admission goes, but many of their programs are very good - music, education, nursing, and19th Century American History are a few.

    Oh, and Shepherd does have some Core requirements.

    (I graduated from Shepherd with a BA in Music Education and taught elementary and middle school band before having kids).

  4. She said the stuff I already knew. Avoid certain foods. I'm already avoiding these foods. I have a special pillow. I did lose weight. I have made lots of changes. I've done everything right for a good solid 6 months now. If anything I feel like it's getting worse!

     

    I will go to a specialist either way though because she doesn't specialize in this so maybe she doesn't have the best advice for this.

     

    It was weird because she didn't seem to believe my idea of having low magnesium. She will test me though. So I'm ok with that, but she seemed against any sort of supplementation for magnesium. She said we get all the magnesium we need from food. Yes, I'm sure we do, but that's also assuming we aren't taking a drug that is working against us in that department.

    My holistic doctor says that almost everyone needs magnesium supplementation because our soil is so depleted. She recommends Magnesium glycinate - it doesn't give you loose bowels.

  5. What's the assumed math level for the Mathematics of Astronomy? She'll be done with Algebra 1, which has an intro to Trig at the end.

     

    Unfortunately, the Great Course is not one of the ones available through the library. How low do the sale prices go? It's at $229 right now for DVD's. I could enroll her in BYU Online High School's online class for less than that.

    Look into Great Courses Plus.

  6. Since you already have TT, why not have him try a few lessons and see what he thinks?

    My history loving DS,who is almost 13, is primarily using TT. He retains the information well and doesn't complain about watching the lectures and/or doing the work. He will not be going into a STEM related field, so for him TT is definitely enough.

    He will do Pre-Calculus in 11th grade and hopefully take AP Statistics or Statistics at the local CC in 12th grade. He is motivated to do this and "be done with math."

  7. Lol follow up question to my threadjack :) but maybe I helped you convince yourself ;)

    I was wondering if easy grammar would work better for us, but not having experienced it, how would I know? in your experience how is it different or why did it work better for that child?

    Hmmmm, my 3rd just got so frustrated with all the memorization and not getting things "right." She'd rather have me explain something and go off to do a worksheet independently than sit with me and go through a scripted lesson.

    She's just a different kind of learner. My first two love Latin and she hates it. I want her to enjoy being homeschooled so I am not making Latin or grammar with diagramming a hill to die on :)
