There are many good web sites with recipes. Last time i used the beginning plan from "I Breath I'm Humgry." Good stuff.
Right now I'm trying to keep cooked spaghetti squash and zoodles in the fridge. I haven't been able to get into salads yet this time around. I'm definitely drinking more coffee so I can get the cream. I've also got a can of TJ's coconut cream that I use a spoon at a time when I get cravings.

Yes, I started this Monday but I have done it twice before.
How about you?
I've not really made recipes yet this time. Just added fat and ditched grains, fruits, starchy veg, and sugar. Cheese!

Actually I find that going over the top on fat is very helpful at the beginning of keto to reduce carb cravings.

Those who make their own: do you have an elderberry bush? Or do you buy berries?
I'm wondering if it is still cheaper to make your own if you have to buy berries.

You can mitigate the expense, a little, by listing them as part-time drivers of your cheapest (lowest book value) car. If your current cars are still fully insured (not just collision) then it may even be cheaper to buy a really cheap old car to put the kids on with just collision insurance. Comprehensive coverage for young, male drivers is sky high. They have accidents.
I hear the rates go down when they get married, too. Call a matchmaker? ;P

So how long did it take for you to get approved for accommodations on the ACT or SAT once you started the process - as a homeschooler, without an IEP or 504?
Dd really needs extra time, it seems. But she needs a new evaluation and the last test date for her for ACT and SAT is December. Do I have a shot? The eval could easily take 5 weeks.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

My friend's husband has had serious problems with his shoulders popping out. He now does tai chi very seriously and it seems to have helped significantly.

Ok. So I'm correct in thinking she's just trying to get her way. She is just enjoying her power in her little empire.
Some people....,

We had a rough day with registration at the local CC. The dean of languages insisted that one semester of CC French was equivalent to two YEARS of high school French.
I have never heard this before. Anyone else?

My mom has had osteopenia for over 20 years. Vitamin D3 and calcium and other minerals. She's taken all the various prescriptions at one time or another. She swears by Reclast (sp?) and weight bearing exercise. She walks miles daily plus does aerobic dance (low impact) two or three times per week. She eats yogurt for breakfast almost every morning. She's in her mid 70's and it still not osteoporosis. Knock wood.

Sparkly, have you tried any sort of eye rinse? The Neti-pot or Neilmed bottle that rinse out the nose help me tremendously with sinus issues. I do it twice a day. I know eye rinses exist or you could just splash with distilled water. I wonder if crying would help? Eat something super spicy?
On the cat problem, keep them out of your bedroom. Just close the door. Run a hepa filter in there. It will give you a safe space.
One more idea, since allergic symptoms kick in once a threshold is exceeded check your other allergens that are "little" to see if you can reduce those exposures and get below the threshold. I'm thinking of foods mostly. But it could be dust.
I hope you find some relief soon,

I know nothing of the Hogsmeade in Staunton. But the Frontier Culture Museum http://www.frontiermuseum.org and the American Shakespeare Theatre and Blackfriar's playhouse are amazing!

What does the director of your current studio have to say? I'd trust their judgement. Are injuries more likely bc the Nutcracker studio is incompetent? Is there time in your son's schedule to do all this? Will he need to miss regular dance class to rehearse Nutcracker? Can he accept fewer roles?
The new behavior is only temporary bc the old studio is worried about losing their Nutcracker leadership role. If the clique is still there then things haven't really changed.

We have had big improvements with allergy shots here. However, different allergists follow different protocols. Some ramp up quickly to get faster results. Some more slowly. You want to consider what will work for you. Ideally the doc could change things based on your response but that doesn't seem to be the case. They like to stick to their protocol.

I don't blame you at all for being concerned about receiving too little synthroid or other thyroid hormone. I still have my thyroid but it is inactive. My Gyn keeps my TSH close to zero and my family doctor keeps telling me it is too much.
If you check out the stop the thyroid madness website I think there is a doctor list of docs that treat according to how you feel rather than a lab number.
I hope you find what you need

I think the severity depends on which vertebrae they are fusing. My mum has had quite a few in her neck and while it's no walk in the park the pain was very manageable and they had her up and walking the next day. Or maybe same day. Out of the hospital in 2 days.
Most recent surgery was 2016? She's mid 70's.

We are experimenting with a bullet journal. Simple layout (see YouTube vlog "How to ADHD" ) plus a homework log that I got from ADDitide magazine.
Haven't used it yet. I plan to coach actively.

75% of this year's freshman class have higher scores than Dd.
She didn't take ADHD meds because she forgot the first time and I wanted to be comparing apples and apples. She's about to go away for a week as a camp counselor and I'm trying to make a decision so I can line up a prep class for when she gets back.
-
Dd is just about to start her senior year (I guess I should update my signature). She just decided *last week* that she wants to try to go to the local university her freshman year, rather than attend the cc for one or two years. The application deadline is mid January.
She has never taken the SAT or ACT. She did take the PSAT and had a fairly lackluster score.
I just had her take an official practice SAT and ACT to determine which test would be best to prep for. On the ACT she didn't finish the last two tests in time - not even close, but got a good score on the English test (32/40) and was doing well on Reading except for the time problem. Final ACT was 22. On the SAT she finished but with only an 1100 score. She just doesn't test well, never has.
Crunching through this, her math scores stink. No surprise, here. We might get some improvement with practice.
For english/reading/verbal she did way better on the ACT than the SAT, but didn't finish the reading or the science. Science wasn't a strong score and she didn't finish.
She does not have any sort of accommodations (last evaluation was a dud). She did not take her ADHD meds for these tests. She doesn't have much "testing stamina."
Which things can we realistically improve and which are going to stay the same? Can we increase speed significantly through practice and familiarization? I don't think we can increase her inherent tempo. Can we increase "testing stamina" with practice?
Reading back over my post, it looks like SAT will be the best option because we don't have to prep any science. Unless public universities consider individual test scores, so that a stellar English score could balance poor science and math.
Does anyone have any wisdom on to share on this?

I suspect that this is a well-run, very active troop.
Leaders are volunteers who put significant time and effort into providing a good program. As a leader I have put $$ into the troop to make the program a good one. I pay for trainings, my registration, plus snacks and supplies. I do not have a problem with leaders collecting enough to cover all the costs.
As far as requiring both parents to register and attend every meeting, is it perhaps that both parents must be able to attend every meeting? With younger scouts the "glorified babysitting" problem is quite real. I think this leader has been burned before.
You might look at the school based GS troops if you don't like this one.

Hello, I'm looking for a DVD/video based Personal Finance course. If it is a textbook based course with DVD's or videos to accompany that is good, too.
We are secular but if there is a really great course with some general religious content that is OK.
Thank you,
Sandra

If for some reason you don't really want a cat(s), you might consider a terrier. My brother's Irish Terrier catches rabbits and mice.

What is this? Chest pressure, a little coughing, face red and hot, body also warm but not like the face.
Lasted about 3 minutes.
