I think your smart to prepare. We've got our pantry in the basement, water, a wind-up radio/flash light, water, extra clothing, blankets and old bed, couch and cable tv down there along with all the extra stuff that doesn't fit upstairs.

Thank you. GNC carries them here; now I'm out the door to get them.

So, Doc recommended taking daily fish oil. I'd like to avoid fishy burps, as I occasionally have acid reflux. Are there any better choices or are they all pretty much the same?

They turn themselves on with an alarm if there is an emergency weather advisory.

Yes, we have a new one -$28, and live in the Midwest; the newer one doesn't go off all the time like the older +$50 model did.

:iagree:Same here. My ds loved it.

Monterey Bay Aquarium! We lived in Monterey, for five wonderful years; Carmel, 17 Mile Drive, Pacific Grove, whale watching, the otters and the food is to die for:D.

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Sigh...Bad behavior happens... Mine would loose the privilege of visiting that wonderful place until they could keep it together. I would also set the child up for a good outing next time by ensuring a small amount of time and their system was in working order. (You mentioned dye sensitivity.) Due to size, I'd even consider calling dad and have him come to the site and carry my out of control darling to the car. (You might want to shop as a pair for a while.) :grouphug:Big hug again.:grouphug:

The Air and Space Museum is a great place for kids.

It sounds like there may be hope yet.

:iagree: Here is a link to the test; btw, the test isn't long. http://saxonhomeschool.hmhco.com/en/resources/result.htm?title=Placement

:lol:Snort....Yes, Aubrey...You must read each and every reply before commenting:lol:.

:auto: Polling on the number of hours spent per day can also be dangerous.

Years ago...I began using Saxon on Susan Wise Bauer's recommendation in The Well Trained Mind. Our experience here with Saxon Math goes from K-Algebra 2. My two are one girl who is not a math wired, and a boy who is wired for math and all things engineering. They've both been very successful; neither have needed more than an hour for their lessons. Ds has participated in a local Math Challenge group, and a young engineers summer course through one of our local colleges. They both score very well on those dreaded standardized tests:tongue_smilie:. (We have to take them in our state.) We have lots of local home school friends and peers who use a number of different math programs, especially in the Math Challenge group. Some kids are going to need to work harder than others regardless of the program, and some will just get it with very little effort. I try not to bother worrying what everyone else is using or who loves and is 100% devoted or 100% opposed to any given program; my belief has always been that the daily work...does the work;).

Nioxin shampoo and conditioner are an option to thicken and promote growth. Sally's carries them (cheap) or most hair salons have a line.

What a pleasant surprise.

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Happy Birthday. Could she stay awake in the morning instead of going back to sleep with big sister? I'd work on getting her super tired during the day, feed her a good dinner and snack and let her drop off at night. Make life super interesting with outings and exercise during the day, and drop dead dull at night. You may need to sleep elsewhere for a while and wear deterrent sleep wear for sometime.

I've seen it around here and think:tongue_smilie:...Unless you're little enough to be carried around, get dressed before leaving the house.
