    Thank you, everyone for the suggestions!

    Can anyone recommend a tutor or a particular service employing tutors working with college students? We are focused on finding an organic chemistry tutor, but if you've had a positive experience with any company providing quality tutoring for a college subject, that would be a welcome lead. Thank you

    I've also never had an account and am still able to see public content from a church.

    I learned the existence of sand cats recently in the NYT crossword puzzle. I often become aware of animals through puzzles--so many fish and other aquatic life are obscure to me.

    I'm not one of the grandchild-homeschooling-hopefuls, but I think it's possible to offer a lot of help with homeschooling without wresting substantive decisions away from the parents. We used tutors for entire subjects without their making decisions we didn't cede to them. People use babysitters without handing over parenting to the sitter.

    Seeing this post title made me realize that I don't know the cost of a stamp purchased on July 3rd.

    I agree with the value of EMT training for an aspiring healthcare worker. Achieving certification is a helpful ego boost for a floundering student. It can take a whole semester, but I have also seen three-week intensives. Classes aren't usually free, but much cheaper than college. Some ambulance companies here provide the class for free if you commit to work at the company. On-the-job EMT experience helps confirm that patient care is rewarding or give the student food for thought concerning alternative career paths. It's great evidence of responsibility and competence for future school applications in the face of poor previous academic performance. The EMT credential also makes the student employable in hospital ERs. The money isn't great, but, as far as I can tell, there's no shortage of hours available. I am sorry for the hurt you two are going through. The money situation is appalling--NOT healthy.

    I found the Everlane day gloves to run very small

    Also 100% recommend arranging to experience 100% totality. It's worth making into a family event. In 2017 we drove over 15 hours and stayed in a hotel. On eclipse day, we set up a tent in the parking lot--the sun was very hot there in August. The atmosphere was festive with several large groups spreading meals in their open auto hatches and setting up chairs around. We had booked an airbnb for the occasion, but sometime before the event the host canceled. We were able to get a hotel at that time, and I don't remember the cost being remarkable. Even though we live within 3 driving hours of totality for 2024, we have booked an airbnb so that we can enjoy the day. We have also booked a hotel room as a backup, and the cost is remarkable. It could be, though, that the hotels there are always very expensive and not adjusted for this event. My children are all grown now, but they are excited at the prospect of returning, some from a great distance, and gathering for another eclipse.

    Thank you for the tip!

    Interesting. Word on the street here (New England) is that coyotes are active dawn to dusk, especially around those endpoints. We see them trotting the sidewalks where kids are walking to school and skulking around quiet areas at sundown. That's when we are most careful about danger to pets. I wonder whether this varies regionally.

    Are coyotes active after dark?

    We have loved Stranger (legal/police/crime, close to zero romance) and Life (hospital politics, tolerably low fixation on romance). Does anyone have a recommendation for other kdramas based on this data?

    I loved this book. I also remember computing with different bases in fifth grade. I am done homeschooling but still treasure all of my Dolciani textbooks.

    I have been meaning to read The Wisdom of Menopause by Christiane Northrup. I think it addresses this topic.

    Irish medical schools will accept diplomas from homeschoolers from states that issue some sort of credential. Maybe Pennsylvania? Students from states like mine, which require us to report curriculum (which they approve) and progress (about which they are silent) may not apply to Irish Medical Schools even after years of university enrollment.

    sounds like levofloxacin. so sorry about such an awful protracted experience

    I am very sad to see this but also validated. I am looking to be a first-time dog owner, and with plenty of money to throw at the project, willingness to go through any type training necessary, and several young adults who can't wait to take any pooch along on runs, it seems I can't get the attention of anyone placing rescue dogs. Also, I am wondering what is wrong with hounds? Seems I am not good enough to get one.
