If it were me, I would encourage her to transfer to one of the unis with her major in the spring. That way, if she doesn't like that university, she can still transfer to another one with her major in the fall. It gives her a chance to test it out without losing more time by going to a CC in the spring, then a university in the fall and THEN finding out she wants to transfer yet again. That being said, if she does decide to transfer to a CC, she needs to be sure to check with the three schools with her major to verify they will accept the classes she takes at the CC. And, of course, to take classes that will transfer equally well to all three, in order to keep her options open! I wish her the best of luck... it really will be okay!

My MIL can't eat venison because it aggravates her gout. She would want to know before she had some and then was in pain afterward!

Yes, they still make gas permeable lenses. I got them when I was 14, which was 17 years ago. I need to replace them about every 2 years, which is when they begin to warp and I notice a difference in vision.

I just wanted to suggest that this might be a good time to also speak to your son about the importance of checking his credit report once a year (or more if you stagger the bureaus). Crazy things happen in the credit world, unfortunately.

When I was evaluating transcripts, one W would not have phased me, although a pattern of withdrawals is concerning. However, given the difficulty students often have in figuring out online classes, it might be nice for her to get used to how they work now, rather than later, when the stakes might be higher and you might not be around to help her!

We've had ours for about 3 years and LOVE it! We use it at least a couple of times a week. I'm glad you liked yours:001_smile:

It will be okay! I don't have kids this age, but until a year ago I was a Registrar of a Christian college, so I've seen many students/parents in situations similar to yours. My advice would be to be as supportive as possible of his choices and to encourage him to feel ownership of his choices and his life. It often ends badly when the parent has more invested in the student's education than the student does. For instance, he says he want to go to Bible college. You could ask him questions that would lead him to do research and move forward on his choice on his own. Which college? (he should pick one) Will they transfer in your completed classes? (he should have his transcripts sent over to the new college and evaluated) What is the cost for a semester? (he should talk to admissions/financial aid) Can you get scholarships? (he needs to call and find out) Then let him figure out how to make it happen. Son, we can give you X amount of money. You'll need to come up with the rest to attend this new college. If he wants it badly enough, he will do the work to make it happen. If he doesn't do the work, he doesn't want it enough. This way you aren't worrying about "what ifs" and can give serious consideration when HE has put in the time to come up with a serious plan. HTH! Good luck! :grouphug:

We just put down $1000 earnest money last week. We're in Michigan, if that helps.

I read this as "apostrophysics" -- as in, your children are studying some sort of apostrophe science. Perhaps they will save kittens everywhere.

I'm not sure what you are using, but I did want to throw out there that my little guy with eczema experienced rashes with every type of disposable wipes, so if you haven't already, you might want to try alternatives to those. On a side note, the disposable wipes also made my hands break out, so I know where he got that sensitivity! We love our organic cotton prefolds!

As a former college Registrar, the name of the homeschool never really mattered to me! I was much more concerned with having courses and grades communicated in an organized fashion. That being said, if the transcript was disorganized, information was missing, and then I noticed that school name was questionable, these factors together would have given me concerns about the seriousness of the student's academic work and his/her prospects for success at our college.

I was holding my 15 month old son at the zoo the other day when a lady asked how old "she" is. I answered that "he" is 15 months. She said, "Oh, sorry. I thought he was a girl with that red hair." I guess only girls are supposed to be strawberry blond!

I just checked the newest edition of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. LLL says not to worry about breastmilk jaundice and that more breastfeeding is suggested. Formula brings down the bilirubin levels more quickly than human milk, but the long-term advantage lies with continuing to nurse. (pg 395-396) :grouphug: to you and Baby
