My son will be a senior in the fall and YES we are interested! My e-mail adress is panhorst@gmail.com Glad I logged in this morning and found this post! Gloria

My son is wanting to do Zoology and Astronomy next year for his senior year. Any recomendations for either of these would be greatly appreciated. thanks Gloria

Thanks guys..I think I am going to send off my order tomorrow for the book and maps on CD. I will be using it for my 11th grader to implement with his history. Thanks! Gloria

Does anyone have this? Do you like it? Is it worth the money? Thanks, gloria

I was wondering if anyone does/has done lapbooks in highschool for history and the sciences? I am going to incorporate lapbooks in with US/American history and Chemistry this year. I have always used lapbooks with my boys in elementary and middle school. I had not planned on doing lapbooks this year but my son wanted to know if we could do lapbooks with history and science. He told me that he remembered things better when we did lapbooks. So now I guess I will be spending the weekend coming up with lapbook ideas. Just wondering if anyone else has done this for HS. Gloria

Has anyone ordered any of the Knowledge quest map trek packs from their website? Did you have any security problems when you ordered? Thanks, Gloria

as little as possible as we do not get along. We live in the same town but have gone as long as 2 years at one point without speaking.

had an unplanned major surgery and am still recovering.

I think you may be right. I have been trying to do to much the last few days. I have been trying to keep the laundry done and do some light cooking. I have been hurting more and last night I hurt most of the night. My husband and boys have been great to me before and since the surgery and have done most everything for the last 4 months( I was having problems before the hysterectomy). But they are starting to complain about having to do the laundry and cooking so I thought I could do those things this week but guess what I can't. I told my husband this morning that I am not going to do those things for another couple of weeks. I am afraid if I keep doing things I am going to really hurt something. I talked to my Dr. and he said if I hurt not to do anything. That while most people do heal completely in 6 weeks, I am not most people. He stated that he had a difficult time getting my uterus,cervix, ovaries out and that having such a low blood counts would make me heal slower. I also told my husband that he and the boys are just going to have to be patient for a little while longer.

Liz, I have everything taken out. I have been on a hormone patch since surgery. From the research I have done today as far as the insomnia and weepiness goes, I think that the dosage of the hormone patch I have is to high and I need to have a lesser dosage. I am going to wait 2 more weeks like the nurse suggested but if it is not better by then I am going to tell the Dr. that I want it lowered. I am also considering not using the patch for awhile and see how it goes. I have talked to some other people and they have not used any HRT at all and they had the same type of hysterectomy I did. Thanks, Gloria

I had to have a total hysterectomy 6 weeks ago tomorrow and I am still hurting. I had it lap. assisted vag. My H&H was pretty low before surgery and even lower after surgery. It was so low that they wanted to do a blood transfusion but I said NO WAY. So I am also dealing with a lot of fatgue from this. I am taking iron supplements, so I know eventually it will get back to normal. But I thought I would be up and doing my daily routine by now. However, that is not the case. While I do feel better each week it just seems like it is taking the pain a long time to go away. My Dr. also started me on a hormone patch right after surgery. I have not been able to sleep very well at all since surgery and I over the weekend I have started to cry for no reason quite often. I feel just BLAH! Has anyone had a hysterectomy? IF so what was your experience ? I am sure this probably sounds rambly and I am sorry but it is just how I am feeling right now. Thanks for any advice, Gloria

I think that the Beautiful Feet guides are excellent for studying history using literature. It is also cheaper than Sonlight and just as good in our experience. My 2 cents worth :) Gloria

Has anyone used the Life of Fred series for Algebra? If so what are your opinions of the program? Thanks, Gloria

Okay my son is going into the 11th grade this fall and I am trying to get my plans finalized before my upcoming surgery in about a week. I am looking at using Sonlight but have some questions. Question number 1..has anyone used there 20th century world history and if so how did you like it? Question number 2...how is the language arts? Question number 3...I have looked at using Alternate World History but wondered what I could add to it to make it more highschool usable...any ideas? Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me out! Gloria

Thanks for the responses! Gloria

I am wondering how much review TTAlg. 2 has at the beginning that was taught in TTAlg.1? Thanks!

I have a nursing degree. In the last 17 years I have worked a total of 2 years. It great to have just in case. Although right now where we live there are NO nursing jobs at all. The hospitals are getting ready to lay off. Gloria

Thanks for the responses! I was thinking along the same lines as you guys. I have plenty of time so I will keep looking. Thanks again, Gloria

My heart goes out to each and everyone of you. I have and will continue to pray for all. Things are tight here too, but I know that the Lord will provide and take care of us all. Gloria

Just wondering if anyone is or has used WP for Highschool? How do/did you like it? Is it complete or would I need to add in more? Is the language arts complete or would I still need to add more to it? thanks, Gloria

I am starting to check into what to use for my son for 11th grade starting fall of 2010. I have looked at Sonlight's Core 300 program online and was wondering if anyone here is or has used this. What did you like or not like about the program? Would you use it again? How is the Language Arts? Did you need to supplement the LA? Thanks, Gloria

Well during the week my two teen boys sleep around 8 hours. On the weekends and during holiday breaks and summer months they sleep around 9-10 hours. Gloria

If I were in 5th grade I would use Winters Promise for everything but I would add in nature study. I would also give myself piano lessons,voice lessons. Gloria

Those of you that have boys who play video games I have a question for you......how often and for how long do you let them play? Thanks, Gloria
