I am getting ready to get a new system. So now I've downloaded once onto my old system that crashed, once on my temp set up, and then again when I get the new one up and running. WE routinely upgrade because the kids' dad is a pc nerd and *insists*.. LOL But I have youngers coming up that I hope to be able to use the olders stuff, can I save this to CD and then put onto any existing systems in the future? That way I don't have to worry about x amount of downloads.

I bought my daughter the accompanying PDF for the HOTAW, and then my computer died :( I have a temporary one up and running, but not sure if the site will let me re-download or how many times we are allowed to do that.... :(

My apologies, because I have had this thread up for DAYS to read, but I just never get at my computer. My response is in the area underlined above. According to the last manual we had, The Teaching of George Albert Smith is states that we basically have a corner on the market of the Holy Ghost. Because, we have the "privilege" of the laying of the hands, which is the direct authority of the Priesthood, and that it can not be got any other way. Therefore, we are the only religion that has it. Even being LDS, it left a BAD taste in my mouth. This holier then thou, we are better then everyone else attitude in the verbiage completely turned me off. And not much different then what your talking about above.

How do you name your school? Do you have to file something officially? Check and make sure someone else hasn't taken that name in your area?

What did you or will you put as the "person or institution conferring diploma"??

Your copy is more closely to the one I saw in the store. Theirs, if you look at the "First Pages" is different.

I looked at this, the pages are not the same as the other :(

Grrrr, 6mo ago I held in my hand the BEAUTIFULLY illustrated DK's Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Universe. I had homeschooling money set aside, but trying to hold onto it as long as I could, I thought "I'll just wait till tax time". Well now, NO kidding that $40 book is 2-3 THOUSAND on Amazon!!! I just wanna :crying: I wanted that book SO bad!! I will never, ever do that again... I learned my lesson!!

Any ideas on how to do this??

Do you use Mythology as History or an elective?

I say no, but my son says it should :huh:

Do you think when you (the seller) sells you listing in full, you can delete it?? I am on here today, hoping to find a relatively inexpensive (read not over $100) Psychology text, and get so excited when I see things come up in my search results, only to find out there all SOLD. Now they do go an update their post, but isn't there a way to just delete the thread as the author?? Thanks... :)

I know I am going to feel stupid... but its not included in the reproducibles/manipulatives ec in the back, and I don't remember it coming with my kit. What are they referring to??

~*bumpity, bump*~ Anyone??

For those that don't know it's from the movie Courageous, which was excellent, btw. They have The Resoltion for Men, too, if you want your hubby to read it as well. Right now I am reading Courageous Living- Dare to Take a Stand. I'll be done with that in 4 days. I read a chapter a day. The Resolution, though is meant to be "read slowly and purposefully", so I was thinking a chapter a week. I plan on starting April 1st, that would give anyone else tim to buy it, watch the movie, or even read Courageous Living if they wanted to. So is anyone interested??

I actually got my 3 littlest ones Shuffles last tax return. The iPod earbuds are too big for little ears. But I found the Sony Sweet Little Buds are *PERFECT*!!! I got mine at target, but I can't seem to find tem on Target.com. They run $19.99 :)

Awww, thank you :blush:

I'd say no... I'm not renewing.

I don't have a photo of my on the pc, but when the miracle of reconciliation happened between my husband and I, he went and bought me the ring I had originally wanted. When we got married 10yrs ago, we didn't have the extra $100 for the ring I wanted with the wedding and out of state move, so we got matching gold bubbled out miligrain comfort edged bands. I had wanted the same thing basically, yellow gold miligrain egding, but with anniversary band diamonds inset into. Nothing big... 1/10th of a Carat. So as a surprise and to show his recommitment to me, he went out and searched out that ring. It wasn't at the same store, and it was harder then you'd think to find that in yellow gold, but he did :) I'll try to post a picture later....

She's a bit behind, but for Day 1, I have to say I am impressed :) Thank you so much for this idea!!! http://kathryn95.blogspot.com/

*raising hand* I was one of those moms who couldn't wait to send little Johnny off to school. I had earned it, it was my "me" time... FREE childcare... WOO HOO!! I mean WHO turns that down?? I had one friend that homeschooled her son, and she was constantly tired, constantly complaining about how hard it was, she never had time for x, y or z, and I never saw her :( I had another friend who took all her kids out because the school argued with her over the contents of his lunch :confused: I thought they were both a little cuckoo for Coco Puffs... LOL But then we moved BACK to Vegas, and now I had middle schoolers. My eldest who was gifted and talented, couldn't get into Algebra because they disn't teach that level yet. He was CONSTANTLY harassed by the other kids and bullied. The school did *nothing*. My other son who was a social butterfly always wanted to stay home :001_huh: After having it out with the Science Teacher about assigning to watch a Football game as "homework" (we didn't and still don't have mainstream TV), I made the (at the time) horrendous decision to pull them :blink: I had NO idea what I was doing!! The first year we deprogrammed, and I pretty much "unschooled". The next year we signed up with Homeschool Learning Network. It was bare bones, but at least it was something... I was STILL scared to death!! The next year I got braver and added Saxon...YAY me!! LOL That was 2007. By 2008 and I was doing better, but I didn't actually sit down AND make myself read the WTM till the Summer of 2010!!! I checked it out every year, but with babies, nursing, pregnancy... it just seemed I never had time. It required me BUYING it, so I didn't have to return it, and knowing I shelled out x amount of $, so I didn't want to waste it. I had to force the kids out of my room and to leave me alone so I could study and take notes. I wish I had made myself do it sooner. With it came a sense of confidence. I finally had a purpose and a reason deeper then "my schools suck" to homeschool. It gave me a clear, concise plan... no more wondering or worrying what I was going to do, and was it enough? Now, I am not going to say I am a model student of TWTM... we are behind, but I also know the little I do is still better then the "much" they do in PS- because I have seen that in action, proven by testing. Life happens, sometimes school doesn't happen everyday, and like many of you I am probably beating myself up for it... LOL But I LOVE it, I truly believe it is my life's passion and work. And having found TWTM, I am not sure if I would have gotten to where I am (or my kids) without it.

We got each girl one. At the time the older girls 12 and 10, they each got a "Just My Style" or whatever it was at the time. Olivia got a Bitty Twin (we split them with a friend), and in 2006 Elena got Bitty Baby. Now Livvy and Lena play with the older girls dolls, and I have been thinking eventually I should get them each on of their own, but that will probably be it. I'd rather build up the clothes and stuff.

Pictures or links to their real estate pages?

I'll let her know. She was having trouble getting a blog with the URL she wanted, I'll see if she fixed that :)
