I know so many women who have and are having babies past 45.

[Why grind your own flour? Why not store-bought Whole Wheat Pastry Flour?]

When I first heard the rancidity claim I balked. When I say it now I have people who scoff at me, but I think those are people who have never smelled nor tasted freshly milled flour. The difference is remarkable.

 

 

Yep have to add too that :iagree: there is a difference. After using freshly milled flour the store bought stuff looks, feels and tastes awful!

[Why grind your own flour? Why not store-bought Whole Wheat Pastry Flour?]

 

 

There are 3 parts of the wheat kernel: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. White flour is made from the endosperm. During commercial grinding processes they are often seperated.

 

 

The germ is the most nutritious portion of the wheat kernel and is very oily, which causes it to turn rancid quickly. Wheat germ is usually separated from the bran and endosperm during the milling of flour because the germ's perishable oil content limits the keeping time of the flour. So often when you buy whole wheat flour it's minus the wheat germ because the wheat germ makes it go bad too fast.

 

So you aren't getting the full benefit of it.

 

And it's a nice savings too.

[How to repair seat belts that are torn?]

It depends on the make/model etc. The cost can vary a lot from less than a $100.00 to a couple hundred depending on the cost of the seat belt and the cost of labor.

 

We were looking to buy a van that needed 2 seat belts replaced. They cost of having them replaced was about $250.00 but that was with discounted labor. So it could be more.

 

I think it's something you have to have done by a dealer but maybe not.

Just call your local dealer and ask them.

[Looking back over when your children started Latin, would you do it again?]

we are on the same track as you. Come 9th grade or so maybe before, we will do another language. Probably Spanish maybe something else.

 

Latin at a young age has been beneficial for my daughter. I am starting the next 2 even younger thanks to Song School Latin.

[Dry erase boards.....]

We use wet erase marker for things like lines that I don't want to wipe off when I wipe off the dry erase. I have also used the tape.

[Coconut oil users...]

We use coconut oil for most things (we also use butter and olive oil). I use expeller pressed coconut oil for when I don't want the coconut flavor, like in stir frys and cooking, but use the virgin coconut oil in baking. I buy mine in bulk from Tropical Traditions:

If you sign up for their email list, they occasionally have sales where they offer free shipping, which is a good deal.

 

I got a really good deal from them complete with free shipping on a large container - I can't remember how large - 5 gallons maybe.

[Classical Conversations tuition?]

It's $312 for Foundations and $288 for Essentials.

 

As a tutor, I am assuming she didn't pay therefore it's considered income. Any tuition credit has to be claimed as income.

It's possible that your director should have given you a 1099-MISC. I would check with her.
