  3. I had that same problem with my first pregnancy. A friend suggested acupuncture and it changed my life--no more pain!
  4. Interesting. I haven't heard anyone else have that problem. We've been receiving reports and I didn't get the error when I just reported myself. :D Has anyone else had this problem?
  5. I'm due with #2...and #3 in October. Both boys. Their 2 yo sister doesn't yet understand how her life will change. I've been feeling pretty awful this time around. If I end up on bedrest, I might actually have some time to spend on the boards. :tongue_smilie:

  9. Hi Babe! Love you! :001_tt1:

  10. Hi Everyone, Jedi Bob tweaked a setting so everything should be working now. Please try uploading again.
  11. Click the "View All Feedback For..." link on her profile, then click "Submit Feedback For..." and fill in the blanks. You will need the URL of the post you are rating. There may be another way to do it, but we haven't played with it long enough yet. ;) Hope that helps.
  12. Unfortunately our current cart software won't allow it. We are working on alternatives, but nothing on the horizon right now.
  13. Hi Everyone, As you may be aware, FLL4 is running a bit behind schedule. :eek: While we wait for the books return from the printer, we have put the first 10 chapters up for you at the Peace Hill Press website. Enjoy!
  14. FWIW, I have VSD. I still have a visible hole. The only way it has ever affected my life is when I have any major medical procedure (e.g. childbirth, surgery, etc.) I have to take antibiotics. The ADA used to recommend antibiotics before routine dental procedures, but they removed that recommendation a couple of years ago. VSD is actually not all that uncommon and the hole usually closes up on its own. cnn article (one of many out there thanks to google )
  15. Hi Sue, I recorded an oral history of my grandparents a few years ago. I used my video camera and the questions from WTM. I burned it onto DVDs and gave them as Christmas gifts. My grandfather died 2 months before Christmas so it was a very special gift. A few things I learned: -- audio is great, but video is priceless. Watching my grandparents interact--complete with the eye rolls :001_rolleyes: and hand gestures--was wonderful. It will also be helpful for my daughter to get a sense of who her great-grandparents were when she watches it someday. -- I hate video editing. It is very time-intensive. Lucky for me, I had no children and an easy day job at the time. -- my voice sounds awful (see pointer 2, below) -- a question is just a jumping off point. During our interview, my grandfather got off on many tangents. One of his *best* was political in nature. Although it wasn't part of the original questions, it was entertaining enough that I kept it and even added a "BONUS: Grandpa's political views" graphic on the DVD cover I made. People love to talk about themselves. Once they get started, you will likely have a hard time stopping them. Some pointers: -- if you use video, make sure it is digital. Having a digital camera makes the copy/burn process much easier. -- I bought a video editing program (around $100) that allowed me to add transitions, menus, titles and such. It was probably overkill. My finished DVD was Frasier-esque--white text on a black background. I faded the questions in and out before the segment my grandparents were answering. That way, those watching didn't have to hear me talk. :tongue_smilie: -- Windows Movie Maker is available free as part of Windows XP sp2, I think. That should work well enough for editing and burning. -- break the interview out over multiple days. My grandparents got tired after a few hours of talking. Also, when we came back each day, my Grandfather would say, "I was thinking about __________ we talked about yesterday. I have something more to tell you about that." (Makes for more difficult editing though.) I am so glad I did it. You and your kids will have a great time. Heather P.S. I'm going to move this to the general board since it isn't necessarily curriculum-related.
