I will be 48 when my youngest graduates high school.

Those poor babies. :(

Her daughter desperately needs your son?! This screams unhealthy - an unhealthy dependence on your son, unhealthy interactions between the two, an unhealthy interference from the mother into your own parenting of your son.
:iagree: That is just wrong on so many levels. I'm sad for the girl.

I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous and I would be seriously irritated. Your realtor works for you, not the other way around. Would you really recoup that money in the sale price? Just tell her what you're willing to do and say no to the rest. You should be in control of the pricing, too.

I am making Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Chicken Dip. I have brought it to get- togethers before and it is always a hit. Instead of the canned chicken, I use Perdue Chicken Short Cuts. You can make it in the crock pot so it is easy to take and keep warm. We eat tortilla chips with it.
Go Pats!! :D

I second Phonics Pathways/Reading Pathways. I'm using it with my DS8 and I have been pleased with how easy it is to use and it works.
-
We use it for DD and DS8. It is a solid, basic math curriculum. It is extremely easy to teach. It's basically open and go. It is spiral in nature, but as others have said the review is not overkill. Couple all that with the inexpensive price, and it's good for us!

Uh, I wouldn't be touching a dead cat. Ever. So I'd call the neighbor and tell him to do it.

I ♥ Amazon! :001_wub:
My DS12's Fire froze this evening and after trying the hard reset a bazillion times, it still would not work. I called customer service and after about 5 minutes on the phone with them, they offered a new device to be sent. It will arrive Friday along with a UPS label to send the defective one back. I was even clear that I bought the Fire at a retail store, but they honor the one year warranty no matter what.
I love when a company stands by their product and puts the customer first!
While Googling this issue, it seems like it's fairly common, so I wanted you all to know that replacing it is easy. As if we needed another reason to love Amazon!

You are always going to have to explain to curious people when your choices are outside the norm. I had to explain about hs'ing, but I also had to explain about homebirthing instead of hospital. I find that it's usually ok to share my reasons with people who are genuinely curious. If they press beyond that, then pass the bean dip.

If I had to guess, I'd say some of the other parents are complaining that the slots are taken up by your whole family. The teachers need to try and keep everyone happy, and unfortunately that is never possible.
I'd just let the others have their turn. Have the teachers let you know when you can have a turn again. I think it's a little extreme to have negative feelings about the preschool just because of this, unless there is more to the story.

I use this website for my DD. It's a worksheet creator. It has worked well for her.
-
Get the TT. It's the reason my DS12 and I haven't killed each other. :D

We usually go out to dinner and ice cream at the end of the school year. Maybe something like that? Or take him to a play place or museum?
-
I think it's a shame. Sundays are the day we have set apart, although I know some congregations offer services on other evenings.
We have been involved with groups that have tournaments with games sometimes on Sundays, but they have worship services available on Sat. evening.
One Sunday morning we were driving and saw lots of minivans driving towards a building and I thought a church met there. I later found out it was a soccer building. All those many families were going not to church, but to soccer. I hope they went to church another time that week.
I think Christians should unite in boycotting Sunday morning events. Maybe people would stop scheduling games then.
:confused: You can't expect others to live according to your standards.

Doesn't your regular dentist have x-rays that you could use to get other opinions? When we've had ortho referrals, it's been after their regular dentist has taken x-rays, including panoramic. That dentist will send them on to the ortho.
-
In addition to what has been mentioned, I would suggest looking into Burlington, VT, Saranac Lake, NY, and Alex Bay, NY.

My son often has hockey games on Sunday. I figure, if God didn't want us to play hockey on Sunday, he wouldn't have invented Canada.
:D
I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as it didn't interfere with the timing of our church service.
-
No I would not.
But.
People are weird. Every time I leave the gym (there are six open treadmills next to me and you chose the one next to me--why?), grocery store (Hello! Your cart is blocking the aisle. The world doesn't revolve around you!), or Walmart (there are websites about this!), I leave shaking my head and muttering, "People are weird!" I'll never figure it out.
-
Would it change how you homeschooled or chose curricula if you expected to start your kids in school (at a classically-based charter) in 5th grade?
Honestly, no it wouldn't.
We are putting our kids into ps next year and our DD will be going into 5th grade. I have known about them going since about September. I have been working with her to get her to work more independently and read directions, since that is a particular weakness of hers. I also got a Test Practice workbook for 4th grade so I can identify any holes that are easily remedied before the Fall.
Other than that, I have covered my bases. I am not perfect, but I have diligently worked with my children for the years we have hs'ed. Looking back, I would not have done anything differently.

My parents drink a lot of coffee and when they come and stay with us, they always bring one or two boxes of k-cups with them and usually offer to buy more while they're here (which I refuse). In addition, I make sure to buy extra because I want to accommodate my guests.
In the OP's situation, where IMO the guests are being incredibly rude, I suggest a regular coffee pot to pull out while they're there. If they ask why, I'd tell them it's too expensive to use the Keurig for that much coffee.

Thanks. These are all really great ideas...
For those of you with a Fire, is there a reason you went with the more expensive Fire? Did you choose it as an iPad substitute, or simply because you wanted color?
We wanted tablets and like the android platform.
What's so great about Amazon Prime?

For me, I couldn't justify the $79 after our free period expired. The streaming videos wasn't a draw since we have Netflix anyway. And I don't order little things here and there from Amazon. I usually do orders over $25 around Christmas, birthdays, and curriculum ordering, so I get free shipping.
