Thank you all for your replies. I have checked out the PA HS laws and they don't seem so bad. If fact I think here in Va is too relaxed so I don't mind. Thank you! kate

We are thinking of moving to York pa...is anyone from there? We are looking to buy and have found some cute homes in the york suburdan school district. Although we doesn't need to school we would like to have a option if needed...any thoughts? I believe the township is spring garden.....my hubby and I plan to drive up shortly and do some looking and research but I'm not that patient :) Thank you!

oh man...:001_huh: that looked neat but it says the site is closed.... weird

Hey is there a social network for homeschool kids? One where my daughter can safely chat online, meet other kids and such? my daughter is 11 am would like to use the computer more and meet other kids online safely. Is there such a thing or way to do this? thanks, Kate

Jean, thanks... that is a good point... we don't mind the long run medication costs & such.... its just that right now we are a bit over our heads with bills.... so we have had pets in the past that required medication and large vet bills but it was never a real issue for us... but now we are a bit upside down with expenses so hopefully this will work out to help us at the moment... I will have to look in over with my hubby though :tongue_smilie: thanks again!

ok... thank you all for your replies.... I think we are gonna check this out and see how we can get her all fixed up..... thank you!!!!!

my cat has some issues with her bottom being inflamed, her paws are real smelly and now her eyes are junky.... I had taken her to the vet a couple of months ago and he said she had an inner immune disorder. i gave her the meds, etc and she was fine after a couple of weeks.... not she is even worse and I dont know what to do ... the vet wants to run all these tests and after talking with local friends they have said to stay away from this vet because he likes to ring up the bill.... I have since heard of another vet with great reviews and want to send her there .... however I have so many family cost going up right now that i can't afford it at the moment.... (both cars are breaking down, my hubby has some medical things going on and other financial things) I was looking into Care Credit to see if this would be a good solution for the vet bill but wanted to see if anyone else had used it or what you might have heard..... So for rambling :glare: I'm a bit flustered right now.... Thank you!

I would post a "lovely" sign that says how the apple tree is owned and is not for residents (without permission)... I mean I see where a kid might grab one as they are walking by but the whole side? Insanely rude! you might even write on the sign how you would like them kindly returned (i am only half joking) next year I would put one of those tree nets around the tree with a lock on it just to prove a point.... This was rude and done on purpose and I can't stand how rude people are now... One of the main reasons we moved far away from people...

This is funny you are posting this...as my dd is currently using this resource. My dd is using BF Ancients guide and she was able to outline very easily with this book... however if you but Kingfisher in front of her she looks at you like a deer in headlights :eek: then comes the waterworks! The only complain so far from her is that they are long chapters and she finds then boring... however if I put a living book in her hands she is good to go.... :001_smile:

We have really enjoyed and have learned a bunch from Visual Latin.... It is downloadable and so affordable... you can also try out the first couple of lessons for free... My daughter enjoys working on her latin lessons...she watches one old and one new lesson and then completes the worksheet. We are able to do this 3 times a week and it has worked out nicely so far.... it's worth checking out.... Visual Latin my 2 cents ;)

have you looked into visual latin? my daughter and I just started and love it.... in fact we were driving with my dad the other day and she was going on and on about all things latin! building sentences and translating and explaining every detail! The lessons are short and simple... we watch one "old" lesson and one new and complete the corresponding worksheet... easy and they are so affordable.... you can try there lessons before you buy.... Just thought I'd throw that out because we are enjoying it so much and getting results fast.... Also the teacher is kind on dorky funny and my daughter cracks up at him...:lol:

yes all the books look great.... i wouldn't need to make may substitutions.... Really? no one has used this for logic before? no thoughts on been there done that?:glare:

I was planning on using HO but now that I really look at it I don't like the spines and also don't want something that is secular. After looking at the samples and the books used I like how this is written. I like the questions asked of the student and the daily/lesson break down to help with scheduling. Anyone use this for the logic stage? I have read that others have outlined streams of civilizations so I plan to add that and a couple other literature books. in addition, planning some fun projects... Like a plaster of paris mummy mask :) What about the geography? is it sufficient? or should I add Map Trek ancient? Okay I'm rambling. If you have used this or plan to, what are your thoughts?

I don't have a reply but wanted to say that your husband sounds DREAMY!:lol: Wish mine would just hand me my purse and say "just buy it already:D"
