  6. Daisy so sorry this happened! I went through this last year and the park people were livid and treated those who did show up badly. The old lady running it gave us all a tongue lashing and swore she would never open for homeschoolers again! Makes me crazy!!!!

  8. Oh no! We were planning to do this tomorrow! I really hate to drive that far and then be disappointed! We haven't been since the remodeling and was looking forward to seeing the new building. Did either of you happen to see Van Gogh at the Omni?

  11. :grouphug: Sorry for your struggles. Dh just got his level under 7. I missed if she was given any meds for this or not, but that can help. I found the below article helpful when dh kept talking about this test. 20 seems really high, I think a talk with the doctor is order would schedule asap! :grouphug: Sorry the chart didn't copy over...will have to follow link to see it! http://www.medicinenet.com/hemoglobin_a1c_test/article.htm What is a hemoglobin A1c (A1c)? To explain what an A1c is, think in simple terms. Sugar sticks, and when it's around for a long time, it's harder to get it off. In the body, sugar sticks too, particularly to proteins. The red blood cells that circulate in the body live for about three months before they die. When sugar sticks to these cells, it gives us an idea of how much sugar has been around for the preceding three months. In most labs, the normal range is 4-5.9 %. In poorly controlled diabetes, its 8.0% or above, and in well controlled patients it's less than 7.0%. The benefits of measuring A1c is that is gives a more reasonable view of what's happening over the course of time (3 months), and the value does not bounce as much as finger stick blood sugar measurements. There is a correlation between A1c levels and average blood sugar levels as follows: CHART SHOULD BE HERE! While there are no guidelines to use A1c as a screening tool, it gives a physician a good idea that someone is diabetic if the value is elevated. Right now, it is used as a standard tool to determine blood sugar control in patients known to have diabetes. A1c(%)Mean blood sugar (mg/dl)6135717082059240102751131012345 The American Diabetes Association currently recommends an A1c goal of less than 7.0%, while other groups such as the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists recommend a goal of less than 6.5%. Of interest, studies have shown that there is a 10% decrease in relative risk for every 1% eduction in A1c. So, if a patients starts off with an A1c of 10.7 and drops to 8.2, though there are not yet at goal, they have managed to decrease their risk of microvascular complications by about 20%. The closer to normal the A1c, the lower the absolute risk for microvascular complications.
  12. Sorry Daisy! Oh you must be sooo mad!! Praying for it all to work out quickly and for people to be in place to help your husband with the heavy lifting when he is able to get in there.
  13. Praying for you and your family Molly. (((Hugs)))
  14. We do everyday unless someone is sick in bed. I never made my bed when I was a kid and probably didn't the first 5 yrs of marriage either.
  15. I know you said you looked at the samples but have you printed the week samples for HOD and MFW off and sat down and went through them just like you were doing school to get a feel for the program. I see so many people say that they hate/love the HOD guide or the MFW guide, maybe that could help you in your decision. Try to get your hands on the books that you would use for the week and have a sample school week ... In the mean time keep praying! I didn't address GTG because I didn't know what it was!
  16. I do and I add horrible nasty chocolate syrup, creamer and ice cubes then I whiz it up for my own homemade frappe.
  17. We didn't have to change ours out either and we only used salt...a 25 pd bag of salt in a 5 gallon bucket. The bag of salt was a little over $3 at Sams at the time. We run across them out in the storage every year digging for christmas ornaments.
  18. I NEVER use the USPS without tracking and insurance after I was out 140.00 on a return to Christianbook. The post office retaped the box shut and sent it on EMPTY! It didn't matter that it weighed almost 10 pounds when it left here, I didn't get insurance...sorry about my luck. When I went in to talk to them about it she said media mail was the worst thing to use as the boxes were just throw and tossed without a thought. I always include insurance and tracking in the price when I sell something...for my own protection.
  19. Praying today is a better day for him. :grouphug:Remember to take care of yourself.:grouphug:
  20. Here, print this off for her highness so she can educate herself a bit...and smile real nice when you hand it to her! http://www.hslda.org/laws/analysis/Texas.pdf
