Sharp cheddar, a little bit of parmesan, butter, and salt!

Dh was asleep and suddenly had a back spasm. He stood up quickly, felt like he was going to pass out, lay down on the bed, then passed out and rolled off. He has passed out two other times when getting up to use the restroom in the night. Two of the times he had taken a larger dose of magnesium before bed. The other time he had taken pain meds after a procedure. The doctor said it was just a low/drop in blood pressure issue. The large dose of magnesium and the pain meds seem to fit with that. But I frequently worry when he gets up in the night.

nm. I think I remember wrong

51 here. Went 7 months without one. Got excited that it was over! Back on track again the past 3 months. 🙄😕

My upper forties was the first time I ever considered that I may have ADHD...and I am pretty positive that I do. And lately being on the spectrum has crossed my mind. Neither ever remotely occurred to me until recently.

These two explanations together make sense to me.

I looked through the Middle School Guide to Essay Writing that I own. I couldn't see any religious references at all.

Same

I'm pretty sure it was neutral

I don't think so. But I am not sure

The new books are just the Analytical Grammar "seasons" separated into individual books and updated/expanded a little. Books 1 and 2 are the original Junior Analytical Grammar. Books 3-5 are the different seasons of the original Analytical Grammar. They are now sold by Demme Learning who bought Analytical Grammar due to financial issues the company had after being sued over sharing a social media meme.

7Sisters sort of fit that for us! https://www.7sistershomeschool.com/product/category/high-school-english/essay-writing-curriculum/

We have found using Miralax daily for awhile and a daily cup of apple juice in addition keeps things moving for my youngest who has had a similar situation.

No tips. Praying!

My sister's family uses a different one. Her husband has had 2 major heart attacks with hospital stays and cancer surgery. They have been able to get bills paid and reduced by applying for programs the hospital offered. She has to do a lot of paperwork, but feels it is worth it. eta he was accepted with pre-existing conditions with stipulations, but still has had a decent experience

When we go to the doctor, we tell them we are cash pay and they usually give a reasonable flat rate. So we pay out of pocket for regular visits, but because we have saved for it, it works out ok for now. eta we have to be creative looking for labs or at least ask up front about the cost because we were burned by a large unexpected bill once.

We have used Samaritan's for 8 years. They have different plans. The one we have now is a low monthly cost with a reasonable yearly deductible. Because of the low monthly cost, we are able to create a savings account for basic medical expenses. We haven't had major issues, but 2 ER visits were fully covered.

This is almost exactly the story for one of mine right now.

Yes!! I am sending emails out now for a group at church. I have had my family members check for me to make sure they are clear. Yet I consistently have people ask me questions that are clearly explained in the email. I only send them once a week too. It's not like they get too many from me. One member admitted to me that she doesn't really read emails. I have no idea how else to get this necessary, weekly information to her. Sorry. Little rant.

Right!

I don't know if this answers your question, but here's our experience. We live in a small town and are fortunate to have a golf/country club with reasonable prices for a family membership. It was worth it for us because it comes with access to the pool, tennis courts, and weight room. So we kind of looked at it like a YMCA membership. When ds was 14, we started dropping him off at the driving range and weight room for something to do. Fast forward, he learned to love golf and now drives himself to play almost every afternoon. It works for us, because we were lacking activities for him. He also has ADHD, and the wide open space, nature, lots of walking, and hyper focus made the whole thing really beneficial to him all around! It's also something he plays with dad and brother often, which I love! A local private school allows homeschoolers to participate in athletics, so he joined the golf team last year. It was a short fall season. He did pretty well in tournaments, but not enough to travel to the state championship. Dh attended most of the tournaments. Not very many other parents attended. I don't know why. Ds would like to play in college if possible, depending on how he does the next 2 years. He also just got hired by the golf club for his first part time job handling the golf carts since he developed a good relationship and reputation with the management. All that to say, I was hesitant at first because of the "rich man" connotation, but it has turned out well for us!

Breakfast was cold cereal with milk, frozen orange juice, generic Flintstone vitamins. Lunch was half of a cold cut sandwich with Miracle Whip or pb&j, chips, cookies, sugar free kool-aid. Snack: Ritz crackers and cheese Dinner: some type of casserole, canned green beans, Jiffy muffin, canned pears, pudding with Cool Whip, and milk. My dad died of heart disease when he was 56. I vowed to eat differently and we really have.

Following, as ours keeps having terrible skin issues that I think are caused by allergies. It seems like he bites, scratches, and licks which ends up causing bacterial and yeast issues (he has both currently). It clears up with meds, but comes right back.

Stove top with evaporated milk and sharp cheddar.

We found a Pandora station named "Autumn Jazz" and keep it playing in the background during homeschool. I'm not even a jazz person, but it really does make the atmosphere more peaceful and doesn't seem to slow productivity .
