  1. When we looked into it we couldn't get past the fact that the supplements/products are soy-based. We don't think it's healthy to ingest a lot of soy-based products.

     

    Yes, the soy is a troubling aspect for me too. The partially hydrogenated fat is also an issue. Also, someone sent me the list of ingredients in one of their shakes, and there seems to be a lot of fake stuff in there. It makes you wonder...

     

    I know there are a lot of pros/cons to soy, that being said I used RELIV products for at least 2 years and I really liked them. Some of it tastes nasty or you have to add it to good stuff, but it made me feel great.

     

    Yes, I have heard that too. I know someone who has lupus and drank it for awhile. It made her feel great. I just can't help but think that there has to be a way to use whole foods to help people to feel better.

     

    Thanks for responding, ladies! :D

  2. Does anyone have experience with a company called Reliv? I have a friend who is thinking about trying some of their products, but she'd like to hear divergent opinions. They seem to be similar to Melaleuca or Shaklee, they sell nutritional supplements. We're just wondering if they're all that they claim to be.

     

    Good? Bad? Indifferent?

     

    Thanks! :001_smile:

  3. I'm not an expert, but I'll try to make sense. You're teaching math in a base 10 system. Each set begins with 0 and ends with 9, then a new set starts. So it makes more sense to count from 0-9, then 10-19, and so on, because 10 belongs with the teens.

    This is why although it is quirky, the author of Math U See goes so far as to tell children to consider 10 to be "one-ty", and that rationale works for some kids.

     

    It's more accurate mathematically to keep each set of numbers where they belong, and 10 doesn't belong with the units, it belongs with the tens.

    I hope that didn't confuse you even more. Hopefully someone else will come along and help. :D

  4. *anj*, you are unforgettable :D.

     

    I wish I would've saved my $5 and gone with the Frappuccino. I found it disappointing as well.

     

     

    Awww, you are too, seriously! ;) There are just so many new people here, names I don't recognize, so it's always nice to see a few familiar faces/voices.

     

    Hmmm...all this talk of Frappuccinos....:auto:

  5. I am looking around for a lesson planning book. None of the ones that I've seen will work for me. I just kept googling and found this one. I'm thinking about it. It's only $15 for the CD or $5 if you download it. I can afford to try it for $5, and if I don't like it I won't feel guilty.

     

    Has anyone here tried this?

     

    I know that Donna Young has a lot of the same stuff, but totally free. I have to admit a little secret though: her site gives me a headache. I just cannot deal with it, so there. I said it.

     

    I think that The Schoolhouse Planner looks nice, but it is pricey, has way more stuff than I need, and with all the color graphics I'll spend a lot to print out the pages that I want.

     

    The Well Planned Day is very nicely done, but doesn't have enough space for all of my kids, plus it contains some pages that I know I'll never use (photos, contacts, growth chart, etc.)

  6.  

    Now, it would be different if they wanted to let those of us who have paid full price for print copies already, to upgrade to DE for, well, FREE, upon the condition that we send them our Loom CD. But to have already paid full price for print, and then to have to pay for a DE upgrade, and ALSO lose my rights to sell my print version. Uh, that's a no-go for this girl. ;)

     

     

    I hear what you're saying. It's annoying. It's also annoying that we're paying $170 for the DE and can't sell it. I know what you mean. But then I was just thinking that since you have to turn in your Loom when you upgrade, you'd only be selling the print copy. Why would anyone want to buy that?

    Or do you mean that they shouldn't ask for the Loom to be returned either? I don't know...

    I guess they're just trying to protect their interests and stay solvent. I am really wishy-washy about this whole thing.

    And then I keep comparing it to the cost of Christian school and I feel like I'm getting a bargain, you know? ;)

  7. Makes me wonder how our pioneer ancestor's dealt with the issue. What if you and your family were living in a little cabin on the prairie 150 years ago? What would the Ingall's family have done?

     

    :D

    Oh my gosh, that's the exact thing I just said to someone else on this subject! I guess maybe Pa stuck a little sign from the rafters that said "If this loft's a rockin', don't come a'knockin'!"

    :lol:

  8. We haven't started Greek yet, but when we do, I'll be using Elementary Greek, because it looks wonderful, and I know several people who use and love it.

    Also, I have a friend who knows a lot more about Latin and Greek than I do, and I remember her saying that she didn't recommend "Hey Andrew, Teach Me Some Greek."

    That's all I've got for you! :001_smile:
