    maybe he'll show up on YouTube :) :)

    You know, you're right - :) Thanks for the nudge

    LOL this one has been on my mind for quite some time (probably since I tried to give more positive feedback but got the "spread it around" message :) so when I got the "blue" rep it jogged my mind. I'm with you though Jill- it's clear as mud:)

    Thanks Julie, I'm waiting to hear back from them before we register - but I'll keep that in mind. I have to see when her other classes meet but that one is a big possibility :)

    I've just gotten my first "blue" reputation - everything else was green - what does that mean? :)
  6. readwithem
    I don't understand why we have to "share the wealth" in reputation - it seems like a soccer team where everybody wins a trophy. Let's face it, there are people who post here who either a) make me laugh, b) make me smile or c) make me think, sometimes all 3 - in just about anything they post. I would LOVE to acknowledge their input regardless of what I've done in the past.

    I was going to cut and paste the first part, then the second part as well - nah, I'll just say I agree with all of this :) :)

    My first thought would be to ask him what he'd like to take. Then since he wants to major in engineering, advanced chemistry would be a logical choice. Maybe talk to people about possible teachers at the cc - that might influence your choice. Or look into online courses? just some thoughts. :)

    :rolleyes:We currently have two of them, the 83 Plus and the 84. Agreeing with the other responses, if he'll take more higher math, I would get the most current model you can afford.
  10. readwithem
    Yes, yes, yes and no. :)

    We're voting early on Saturday and I *still* haven't decided what to do, sigh. (at the moment I'm leaning toward Paul but I still have that nagging fear of "throwing away my vote" blah blah blah).

    Oh your post just made me smile. If we can't enjoy being together when it works - and everybody has a good time - we lose one of the largest advantages of homeschooling. Enjoy your time together :) and don't worry about "making it up"

    Yep, you never forget your first time, do you? :) My first win was a set of "Picturesque Tale of Progress" books - it was June of 2001 :)

    I heard SWB speak a few years ago and she strongly suggested not going into debt for college - the reason being that once students are out of school, they are more likely to feel "stuck" in a job they don't like, just to repay their student loans. I agree with something in-state for a few years, if your ds has his heart set on this particular school.

    THanks Julie! I can't remember whether she'll do II or III - maybe they'll be in "class" together :)

    wow that's nuts. We're using Drivers Ed in a Box, and going very slowly. My dd spent a year driving in an empty parking lot (local cc) on Saturday afternoons.
  17. readwithem
    Same here :)

    It's easier (kinda) when the children are older. they're not as physically demanding and can do more for themselves.
  19. readwithem
    Wow that is neat- thanks!

    my dd didn't like to read to herself till she was about 10. SHe would do it but only the bare minimum. She loved to be read to all the time - I think maybe she was afraid I would quit reading to her :) Now at 16 she reads at least 2 hours per day between her assigned book and her "fun" book. She carries a book with her every time she gets in the car.
  21. readwithem
    This is what I do (and why I do it) as well.
  22. readwithem
    Yea!!! Did anybody record him? :) :)
  23. readwithem
    I agree. We had books from all over the house in the same box. I'm not sure they would insure the move the same way if you packed some yourself - but that's an interesting idea!
  24. readwithem
    Thanks Anne, that's good to know! :)

    Has anybody used VP's Scholars Online? Thoughts? Specifically we're looking at Omnibus and PreCal, maybe Physics and Composition. Thanks so much.
