  1. I'm planning on switching to this and have some questions. We are already halfway through our school year, so would I start with the second reader and light units or should I start from the beginning? How many lessons are in each light unit? About how long does a lesson take? Thanks.

  2. I am doing a presentation on Korean holiday foods for my nutrition class. I have googled and googled and I cannot find out how to pronounce any of these foods or holidays. Here are the words I need to pronounce, if any of you know them...if not, where do I go?: ttok kuk, chapch'ae, pindaettok, sujonggwa, shik'e, chonwol taeborum, ogok-bap, mug un-namul, ssuk tang, aheho-tang, surich'i-ttok, chunchi-guk, aengdu-hwachae, sambok, samgye-tang, chusok, tongji, p'at-chuk,song-i, hangwa (and the various sweets that are included!), dduk gook, garaetteok. Whoo...there are more I need but here's a start. Thanks!!!!!!!

  3. I'm polite. Sometimes I get into a discussion but not too often. Generally I tell them I'm not interested, that I'm happy with my church.

     

    One thing that is curious to me is that when I say I'm a Christian, the JWs who have come to my door say that they are Christian too but still try to convince me of their theology. If we are all Christians, why do JWs waste their time trying to convert other Christians? Better off going after you atheists! :D But seriously, that has always puzzled me.

     

    The thing is, JWs believe that they are the ONLY true Christians and that teachings of Christendom (which they use this word in a negative context) are of the devil (trinity, hellfire, the Pope for you Catholics). For those of you that seriously do not want them to come to your house, the only thing that will work is to ask to be on their "do not call list". Telling them you are not interested or that you are an atheist etc etc will do no good. Also, a no soliciting sign will not work either because they don't believe that they are soliciting. Lovedtodeath,I just wanted to mention that for quite some time I was one of those who was raised Christian and turned away from God, but I was raised as a JW. It turned me away from loving God for many years. bluecalmsea edited to add: um...why do my posts always squish together? There are supposed to be paragraphs...

  4. Anyone using the current science? I'm looking into using one of these for 2nd grade. What are the worksheets and experiments like? The IG and wkst samples I saw online weren't helpful.... Which books would I need to buy and which can I use the library? Thanks.

  5. You might want to take a look at the pages here: http://www.kellymom.com/babyconcerns/growth/index.html Do you know if the growth chart your dr uses is one based on formula fed babies, or one based on breastfed ones? There's a difference. Here's more on that: http://www.kellymom.com/babyconcerns/growth/growthcharts.html I second (3rd? 4th?) the suggestion to look into food allergies. Try cutting all dairy out of your diet and see if the eczema improves. bluecalmsea

  6. I suggest everyone leave the OP alone. What books she chooses for her children is between her and God. And for those who keep mentioning the snake in the garden....SATAN made it talk not God. I can totally see why MommyInTraining did not want to discuss this except through PMs. She is accountable to God for what she chooses, not YOU (collective you). bluecalmsea

  7. Pam isn't Mormon. She's a Jehovah's Witness. I'm sure she'll correct me if I'm wrong... JW's believe that before Jesus died, those who died had a chance of being resurrected to Earth, which they believe will be return to it's pre-fall state. They also believe that only 144,000 people have the hope of heaven, and others will live on the aforementioned new earth. Did I get that right, Pam?

  8. I'm wondering about 2 things.... First of all, does your church include contemporary christian music in the service?? I've been attending this church since late September, and yesterday was the first time I heard ccm. I was going to ask the Pastor about it but didn't get the chance. It kinda...well...bothers me hearing ccm in a lutheran church. It just doesn't seem to fit for lack of a better word... My other question... What materials if any do you use w/ your primary grade children to teach them about the faith? I'm planning on getting My First Catechism, but would like more than just that. Are there any Lutheran homeschool curriculums?? Thanks

  9. If it bled, she should be fine. Tetanus needs an anaerobic enviro, and if you're bleeding there's oxygen (um...something like that...I' don't think I'm wording it well). Also, if there is a risk of tetanus then it is NOT a booster that you need. You would need a shot of TIG--tetanus immunoglobulin. bluecalmsea

  10. anj --excellent posts.

     

    weaning: ya know, i feel pretty darn persecuted by the Nursing Nazis if i decide to wean early. It's like nursing is a religion in and of itself. Most babies are just fine w/ nursing a year or less. Or even w/ just bottles.......And unlike the speculation to wean to get pregnant [which at least sounds constructive to me], I wean by a year just cuz I'm selfish and want my body back. I think there are WAY too many variables in studies about nursing to make any conclusion about the effects of longer nursing periods on a person's life. mother's Diet. genetics. environment. etc. etc.

    I really wish people would stop throwing the term nazi around when they are offended by those who support breastfeeding. I'm not aware of any lactivists who gas and kill formula users :glare:

  11. Has your cat been to the vet? That's where mine got 'em. She had to stay overnight for surgery and was TOTALLY infested by the time we came to pick here up!!! I didn't realize it till a few days later, though. I had never seen flea poop before and didn't know what all those black things were... eeeew. We do not go to that vet anymore. bluecalmsea
