Does anyone use these? Can you tell me some pros and cons to these? Thank you!

This SOOO makes me mad. I have experienced this many, many time...especially since becoming a mother. There was a time, when I was younger (late teens, early twenties) when men/boys would always hold the door open, offer to carry my stuff, etc etc etc. My mom would make me go with her when she had to make a purchase at places like Best Buy because the boys would always come and help in record time. She said she would stand there for hours and no one would come...BUT now, 10 years, 2 kids, and *cough*thirtypounds*cough later, I can barely get the sacker at the grocery store to carry out my stuff...and HELLOOOO, he's paid to do it. :lol: So basically, I think "most" men/boys do things when they think there is something in it for them. Sigh. Unfortunately.

I have struggled off with really low energy, sadness, etc for a long time. I always thought I was depressed. I recently had blood drawn to check for a multitude of things. I found out that I am VERY anemic. I am on major vitamins and am finally feeling like a normal person again. I guess what I am trying to say is seek out medical help. It could be any number of things that you are experiencing. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get a full check-up. I could have felt better a long, long time ago. :grouphug:

Saxon 1/2 Algebra?? Sonlight doesn't offer Saxon 8/7 but is does offer Saxon 1/2. Does anyone know why this is? Should my 7th grader just skip 8/7 and use 1/2 instead? Thanks.

The first one I was Legalos...the second Arwen. BTW..Is there anyone else on here who was named after a LOTR character in real life? My real name is Arwen. I have actually met a Gandalf and an Aragorn (too bad this Aragorn didn't look like his screen counterpart...we could of had some....um, conversation :lol:).

I thought I would always understand my children...I wouldn't be just their parent but also their wise and always loving friend. HA! I never thought I would look at my children (daily), whatever mess or catastrophy they have created and have my only response be..."what the...??" And follow that great parenting with about 5 minutes of just staring at them bewildered and shocked. My children confuse me daily with their very..um..unique thought processes and ability to wreck a room in 2 seconds. LOL

Thanks! I would appreciate any info you can get me. Where did you husband attend college (if you don't mind telling me)?

Umm...what Micahel Phelps swimsuit indescretion? Not that I want to see it or anything..um...I'm just curious...um yeah, you know, for historical purposes.... um..yeah. :lol: *cough*linkplease*cough*

My son (12 yrs old) wants to be an archeologist when he grows up. I realize this may change but he keeps talking about it so I thought I should at least check into what it would take to become one. I have found that when looking at colleges they always have the degree listed as a BA or MA in Anthropology, not archeology. Why is this? Is it the same thing? Does one get a degree in Anthropology then specialize in Archeology? I'm confused. Does anyone know about this career? Thank you!

Yes! LOL The only thing that saves me on those days is that my 12 yr old is much more fun and creative than I am. He can keep the 2 yr old entertained in ways that I would have NEVER thought of. They played in the bathtub (no water) for 2 hours yesterday. They were pirates or something. LOL ((hugs))

I'm glad you all found it funny. I just told my ds12 that everyone thought it was hilarious. He said, "I'm glad someone did. I'll probably need years of therapy but yeah, real funny." :lol: He cracks me up. Seriously.

My 2 1/2 yr old just said this the other day.... We (me, ds2 and ds12) were in a local hamburger place waiting to place our order. There was a teenage boy working the cash register and 3 of his buddies were hanging around the counter. We placed our orders and I picked up my ds2 and put him on my hip so he could see the drink choices. The teenage boy says, "So little man, what do you want to drink..would you like pop, juice or milk?" My son says, "No tank you. I will just have mommy's boobie."..and then grabbed my breast for good measure. :001_huh: The worker boy's friends just died laughing. I thought my poor 12 year old would pass out from embarrassment. The teenager just smiled and said, "Nice choice." and gave him a high five. BTW..he was weaned a while ago. He just still likes to talk about it. :lol:

My friend had the exact same thing you are describing. Her dr put her on Lexapro. She takes it before bed and sleeps much better now. It's time release so it also helps her stress/anxiety level through out the day. You might ask your dr about it. My friend calls it her miracle.

I think it's possible that he DIDN'T. I definitely think our government is that secretive. I think if we knew the things they did and covered up, we wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I'm not saying he didn't land on the moon but I definitely think it's possible that it was faked.

OMGoodness! I just had an all out battle about this last night with my 12yr old. Me- "Dude, seriously, you reek." Son- "Wha? I showered like Thursday." Me- "Hello. It's Sunday. It's 100 degrees outside. You are sweaty and stinky. Go shower." Son- "Fine. Geesh." 5 minutes after shower. Me- "Did you use soap and shampoo?" Son- "Uh yeah. I think. Probably." Me- "Probably NOT. Go try again. You are still gagging me." Son- "Fine but don't complain to me when you run out of shampoo." What? LOL :glare: This morning he commented that his hair felt different and was laying down better. HELLOOOOOO! It's actually clean. :willy_nilly:
