  1. Does anyone know why my post SOSchoolhouse is not in bold like everyone else's posts. I have posts on pg. 1 and pg2? Thanks Cyndi
  2. I see the sample printing label okay at paypal but then when I click print, it goes to a document folder window to "save" and the file says .xps and it wont print. I'm computer illiterate when it comes to these things. Does anyone know how I can fix this or what the problem is? We are leaving out of town tomorrow morning and I need to send these packages out. At the p. office the del. conf. is .80 for each compared to .20. Thank you so much for your help Cyndi
  3. Farrarwilliams Thank you for taking the time to check my post at the FS board. That was really sweet of you. I will try it again at the "FS" board and not the swap one. If you happen to be on, could you tell me if it is light or dark to you? I just want to make sure that there is something else that I should be doing because I only have "10" posts a month. Does this include the "bumps" of the previous ones? Thanks so much Cyndi
  4. Can someone tell me how to make the "title" bold like "everyone" else? When I posted the title came out "light" and didn't hardly show like "everyone" else's titles at the FSale board. Can someone tell me how I can remedy this problem? You couldn't tell I'm new at this hu? Thanks so much Cyndi
  5. Can someone tell me how to do this? I posted mine and it isnt in bold as all of the others are. I tried to click the B in the window above the message but to no avail. Thanks
  6. I agree with whoever said Professor B but it needs to be supplemented with more application of problem solving etc. Math Mammoth, Making Math Meaningful, or Mastering Mathematics are all mastery based and I believe "systematic". Also, Prof. B is Sequential and the others may also be. I haven't seen them but what I have read. I have been homeschooling since 1984 and have seen and used: MUS, Developmental Mathematics, Miquon Math, Cuisinaire Rod math books, etc. and my daughter wasn't getting it. I was at a loss when she was 14 or 15 and it clicked with Prof. B! To what I have seen, I think the others might be similar. Look at samples online and see what "clicks" best. HTH Cyndi
  7. I wondered how everyone gets the title in bold? I seem kind of dense here. I have enough posts now. I remember being here "years" ago. I have been homeschooling since 1984 but have never sold here and I'm trying to sell most of my books. Thanks Cyndi
  8. I wondered if the 10posts per month includes bumping same ones that have been previously posted? I just posted 2 separate posts to the FS /Swap board and then realized that there is also a FS board. I'm not sure how I missed it. So...that takes away 2 posts I wanted on the FS board. This is kind of confusing to me. I have my quota for posts for the FS board. Thanks for your help Cyndi
  9. How do I describe her? She was screaming as a baby and at 2 climbing everything. I tried "holding" her til she calmed down, which now she says she felt smothered and didnt help her. I tried spanking "not" in anger. I tried putting her in her room which caused a few holes in the wall or was it the door? It sounded like World War 3 was going on in there. Then she would calm down but she was still angery inside. I always stuck to my guns..."I meant what I said and said what I meant". My no meant no and they always knew I couldnt be nagged out of it. She would play in room eventually. I told her that she could come out when she felt better because she was hurting the ears of those around her. She could never stay focused even growing up. When she was 2, she somehow ran out of the house in cowboy boots and hat naked and in our 75yr.old neighbors backyard. Our neighbor still talks about it and when she grew up, worked for her in her yard like her older sisters. She had more energy than any of our other 5 children. We never had the money to get her "tested". She basically taught herself to read and write. She worked for grocery store in town and they had to hire 5 people to replace her. I always got such good compliments about her work to my amazement. At home her room was a total wreck. She is "still" the spitfire of the crowd...and I guess kind of like me. She is now in the National Guard because she wants to get into police work and doesnt have the money to do so. Through the military it will cover it. There are 3 groups in "boot" camp. Alpha is the highest one and she is trying for it. To do all that is required for her, she takes as a challenged and loves every minute of it. She is also a risk taker which I am not at all. She did get better the older she got but she was always high maintenance and had to be told that it wasnt her that was center stage. We made it through the teen years without drugs and alcohol. She did get a cell phone around 16 or so, something I was against and she was always at friends homes watching movies and doing computer. There are some basic values that we have that she doesnt and she will have to learn eventually on her own that they dont work very well...like her dad and I had to learn before we married. Alot of this is because my husband and I most of the time dont really connect. We have been married 29yrs. and only the last 2 yrs. we have been connecting beyond the daily events of the day or what is happening in everyone else's life and I have noticed that it has made a BIG difference in our 11 and 13yr. old lives. It has helped them to not be so self centered. I learned in our case that you can have all of the discpline measures in place or even "love" and grace and still it was out of whack. Everything is based on the relationship between husband and wife. They are really smart and know when it is "true" or just going through the "motions" per se. HTH someone. Cyndi
  10. What does it mean to upload ever so often when you are selling something? Thanks Cyndi
  11. Green Pastures is the best...in wooden kegs and fermented like the old original way and it is one of the purest. Look it up in google. They have it in capsules in many flavors I believe. It is "super" good for SN kids and people in general. They say that the expecting Indian women would use this. It was a staple. They said that they needed it for their children and babies.

  12. In our family my daughter who is now 13 had fluid in her ears and they wanted to do tubes when she was 3. She hadnt had any bad colds etc. She could hardly communicate with us. She walked at 16mo. too. We do things more naturally and did not do tubes but used some stuff that took the bacteria away that was causing the inflammation to begin with. He said that normal medical type antibiotics dont take it away. We tried some powerful natural to the body stuff that worked. In our family we have Central Auditory Processing or APD. It is to expensive to have them tested. Our insurance wouldnt cover the highly specialized testing from a "specialist audiologist and I never wanted to go through the "public" schools. I raised 3 children with this and 2 or 3 children I believe may have had ADD. I bought The Listening Program which was expensive and it didnt help our son. We live in a rural area where many of the "programs" such as Linda Moode are not available. I bought Brain Builder from Timberdoodle. Look up CAPD or APD and you can find the symptons. It does get confused with ADHyeractiveD but none of us have this. My husband has a touch of ADD. He will work on a project for 1/2hr. and have to go onto something else and finishes nothing and me...I miss conversations, anything auditory I forget almost immediately, etc. but can stay focused....to the point of absolutely no multi tasking. Dont ask how I homeschooled since 1986 with 6 children ages 28-11. I dont know if any of this will help. Cyndi Wife to dh of 29yrs. Homeschool since 1986 6 Children 28-11

  19. Lara Bars are Great. We can get them here on sale quite often for 1.00 each or you can make your own. There are recipes online. Cyndi Wife to dh of 29yrs. Homeschool since 1986 6 children 28-11
  20. I went to a yahoogroup rawfeed...put into search rawfood dogs or something of that sort. Our poor dog went through some awful stuff trying to get that bad dry food out of him and now his bowels are completely different and more "normal" for a dog. We feed him chicken hind legquarters and he eats the grass for some greens. He is so much healthier. He is a rough collie "lassie" and his coat is very nice and shiny. We pay from 99cents to 1.08 for a 10# bag. You can supplement with "organic chicken livers too if you like. I wish we could afford organic meat for him. That would be the ultimate. That is how we eat. Cyndi
  21. The replies have been very good explanations. Keep it up Cyndi Wife to dh of 29yrs. Homeschool since 1986 6 children 28-11
  22. I put it off....thinking that is just way...to much but for the past year my 13 and 11yr.old have had a paper route. The 13yr.old just bought her first one and that is all she wants and our 11yr.old just bought her 2nd one and that is all she is getting. Her first one was a Christmas gift. They do 4H sewing and I'm trying to encourage them to sew their own clothes. They have been paying another girl in 4H to make a few outfits for them. They are made better than the ones from AG I believe. They sure do "love" them.
  23. I did and found out one of our girls is positive from previous owners. It causes joint and arthritis. It is a slow painful death and it can get passed to the kids. Sometimes they dont show symptons til later on in life. They say at least 80% of all goats have this now. We give our girls 50%hay and 50% alfalfa, Plant derived selenium and copper, and organic grain and do as much as possible herbal. Cyndi
  24. Have you ever heard of Azure Standard? I dont know where you are in the country but they go from Oregon all the way to Iowa and working on getting down to Texas. You make your order and a truck comes through and you get your good food for nearly wholesale price once a month. You have to find out the closest drop off point where others are ordering. The orders all together have to be at least 500 or 550. I have been doing this for a Long.....time and it is great. Look them up on google. Cyndi Wife to a wonderful dh of 29yrs.

  25. There also is a pill for just 3 to 5. that kills the adult fleas almost immediately. We also use Revolution that works Good idea before the flea bath and before spraying. We would do all of the stuff with our dog and then put him in the garage in a kennel while we "spray" the house and vacuum it and we even spray the yard and try to do this ever so often to stay on top of it.
