Suggestions for the upcoming holiday vacation time. :)

This is an old topic, but I found something to use that I'm really excited about and I wanted to share it with you. It is literature based and comes highly recommended. Hope this helps someone needing a TX History resource. http://www.amazon.com/Gentle-Tour-Through-Texas-History/dp/1885777507

I have a vague memory of hearing about something free online for Texas History, but I might be wrong. I know about Stars Over Texas and it's priced really cheap, but I thought there was something else free? Discover Texas isn't cheap, but I know about that one. Anyone have any guides or a book list for studying Texas History? I'll take any and all info. you have to offer. Thanks!

I have not kept up with deleting my inbox and it has increased to 50,000+ messages in the inbox. I know I can delete 25 or so at a time, but I'm wondering if there is a way to mass delete them all at once or to delete more than 25 at a time? I want to start using outlook, but it is importing all my inbox messages and I don't want that. Help, if you can. Thanks.

Thanks to you both!

Do I have to buy another SWI for a 2nd child or is there another way to buy that's not the full price? My first child wrote on the papers. I didn't think to make copies first so I could have a set for my other children.

Thanks so much everyone!

Thanks so much everyone!

What do you know about Lenovo?

2 older kids (12&10). Regular school use/free time. Not a gaming family.

Thank you. Good to know.

Want to go Mac for me, but may stay non-Mac for the kiddos. There current one is unreliable and old. If you are not a Mac person, what is your suggestion for a laptop. Thank you.

Just found out these exist. Reviews/warnings/comments? We need a new laptop and want to go Mac.

Thanks for responding even though I wrote on the wrong board. I'm looking forward to getting it organized!

Thanks, everyone! You are so much help and now I get to work on it. I love purging and organizing!

Minimizing our toys more and more. Books not included. :)

Just saw that I originally posted this on the general education board. Don't know why I did that. I'll post over on the chat board.

This is my original post from awhile back. It never got any responses, so I'm trying again. DS is now 3 and has a sister who is 1. :). I'm wanting to know which 5 toys you would keep, books not included. :). I have thoughts, but need help.

I've always used IE and have always had issues with it freezing up on me and just not acting properly consistently. My mother uses Firefox and never has trouble with it freezing, etc. Your thoughts/suggestions/experiences? Thanks.

I have a little bit of time on my hands and thought I would try to open up an external hard drive that we have and try to extract the files and transfer them to our new external. The older hard drive is a Toshiba and it was an external hard drive that you couldn't actually "see" the files that you were backing up, it just did a complete back up of all the files you wanted. I just trusted everything was on there. Well, when I try to open the backup file, it says that Windows does not recognize the file type NBF and that I can either go online to search for it or choose a program to open it with. Online did not help. I'm feeling like I've lost my files/pictures. :( If you can offer any assistance I would greatly appreciate it. TIA!

My ds12 has mastered the Rubix cube. He got one for Christmas. It goes everywhere with him. :). There is a YouTube series with a guy showing the method to solve it. Just another idea.

Thanks!

I know there are two that I was told about a few years ago, but have forgotten. Thanks!

If I use IEW along with this would I be overdoing it or double-dipping for writing? Thanks.
