  1. I order a herbal supplement on Amazon called Diosmin. My dh swears it has helped his varicose veins and his legs don't bother him as much. It couldn't hurt to try it.
  2. Praying. I understand completely. My middle ds is bipolar. He was diagnosed about 5 years ago at age 21. Actually, he needed to be diagnosed before that. It is still a struggle. I did decide the best thing I could do for myself was eat right, get plenty of sleep, exercise, and stay close to God. I read everything I could on the subject. I talked to my ds's counselor once and she said it was very important that I had support too. I do. It helps. I still worry. I hasn't been easy. I'd be happy to talk to you.
  3. I just want to encourage you. My dd suffered a concussion the fall of her senior year. She had constant headaches, stomach pains, numbness, tingling, vision problems ( losing her vision in one eye for short periods, and blurriness), fatigue ( she even fell asleep on the treadmill one time, frequent urinaion, thirst, and lost weight. We saw several doctors, had lots of tests. The hit on the head caused diabetes insipidus for one thing. Most of her symptoms lasted for almost 2 years. Today, she is fine, although she will always take medication for diabetes insipidus.
  4. My daughter, son-in-law, and grand baby live in Lubbock. My son--in-law is a real estate agent and doesn't have rentals, but he said he'd be glad to help you. He can look up rentals and tell you what areas to avoid. I live in Midland, but come up to babysit my grand baby 1-2 days a week. Let me know if you want to talk to him and I'll give you his number.
  5. My oldest ds lives there. He is a dentist with Gateway Health Clinic. I visit several times a year. It is hot. It has already been in the hundreds. I haven't met any homeschoolers, but then I haven't really looked. My son would probably be willing to answer any questions you might have about the area.
  6. I been homeschooling for 26 years and have 2 more years to go. I would love to go back to school, maybe get a part time job, volunteer, and travel. I can't wait to see what doors God opens for me. God bless, Vicki
  7. Praying. My middle ds was diagnosed as bipolar a little over 2 years ago so maybe I understand a little. I hate mental illness. God bless, Vicki
  8. My oldest dd is 5'10". She was breastfed as a child, never drank milk becasue she was sensitive to it. She did eat cheese. I'm 5'7" and her dad is 5'10". We've neve been big milk drinkers because of my oldest dd and none of my other children are short. God bless Vicki
  9. I count it too. Although I mostly do Wii Active, the treadmill, and lift weights. God bless, Vicki
  10. I understand. For the last three years we have had several large medical bills that have made it hard to not add to our debt. At times we have had to charge things because of medical needs. We do have insurance, but our part always ends up being more than I think it should be. We have met our deductible the last 3 years. God bless, Vicki
  11. You're doing great!!! Keep it up! I decided a couple of years ago to make exercise a priority in my life. I feel much better and my blood pressure has gone down from the high of 135/88 to 107/70. My pulse has also gone down too. God bless, Vicki
  12. I'm sorry. I would have talked to you if I were there. I'll be praying that today will an encouraging day for you with lots of interaction. God bless, Vicki
  13. I have homeschooled our mailman's daughter, my middle son's best friend, and my nephew. I would do it again if I prayed about and felt that was what God wanted me to do. God bless, Vicki
  14. I put yes, barring extenuating circumstances. We have already graduated 4 of our own plus my middle son's bestfriend and my nephew. I have one more child at home and he is 15. God bless, Vicki
  15. I'm praising God with you. We are in West Texas too. We only got one afternoon of rain and in our part of the county only received one tenth of an inch, but it did rain. We have had no rain since October of last year, 52 days of over 100 degree weather, and 15 days of over 105 degree weather. We've broken a few records this year. We have receive 0.55 inches of rain for the year. We need rain. God bless, Vicki
  16. I would order the DIVE CD's. I used then with my biology co-op class. We would watch the labs and then do them. The labs include microscope and dissection labs. It does include some lectures. God bless, Vicki
  17. The first part of the year is mainly working with microscopes and slides. After Christimas you start on dissections. God bless, Vicki
  18. Yes, we would. I do enjoy the board and others. I know when I read about a product on here, I can trust the recommendation. When I started homeschooling in 1986 there were no boards and we did just fine. I did belong to a homeschool group and later read homeschooling magazines. God bless, Vicki
  19. My oldest ds graduated this past Sunday with his Doctorate of Dentistry. My odest dd graduated the first weekend of May with a degree in Elementay Ed. God bless, Vicki
