Thanks for the link to the software site! I found one to download. My dh downloaded it to his computer and it found numerous trojans and viruses. This was a blessing because Computer Geeks wanted to charge over $200 to do the same. I, fortunately, did not have any on my laptop. This is what we used: Download.com Thanks so much!:thumbup:

I'm due for an upgrade and currently carry Macfee but wanted to look at others out there as for quality such as effectiveness against virus, trojans and how it may affect the computer programs' running time. I don't want anything that will slow my computer down or affect my programs in any other way. I've looked at download.com for reviews but some of the computer talk confuses me.:confused:

Sounds like allergin induced asthma. Never hurts to get a physician to check it out esp. if it's affecting your breathing.

Which do you use or have found to be the best?

I agree with your search criteria. I question if it is very teacher intensive or not, will it meet my dc's learning styles, is it Bible based, is it academically strong, how much tweaking will I have to do, etc.

I agree with the pp and think you should do Adventures. You could find another spine to sub CLP.

I love box day! Can't wait to hear about them!:)

We order in March-April. I know that most order around tax time and some vendors have special discounts around this time such as free shipping or a certain % off.

Our little report is up.

We are doing music theory also. My son has been in music lessons for a while.

We use SOS Spanish also. Working out well so far.

Thank you so much. I love natural cleaners.

hmmm. Have you tried lemon and honey? Maybe place it in a nice herbal tea. Praying you are feeling better soon!

breakfast by 7am lunch by 11:30am and dinner by 5pm

A great telescope and plenty of books!

Thanks Sue! That sounds similar to what I had been thinking about. Sounds great. I'm going to look at everything again. Decisions. Decisions. (sigh)

Beside, what really defines a junkie anyway? I am the Director of Curriculum Assessment. Yeah! Yeah! That's a gooood one. :D

Thanks! I wonder if I could use those with my soon to be 4th and 5th graders. I'll check it out. We are using Apologia's Astronomy now and I know that I will more than likely supp. MFW with a different Apologia course later on so they won't end up repeating it. We are using a different history this year but will begin MFW in the new year. I had also considered doing Zoology I for the upcoming year, then follow up with the other Apologia courses. They have really enjoyed Apologia. Still thinking.:confused:

LOL! I have prided myself for not being a junkie but I have proven otherwise with this year's purchases. :D

My son will have a job very soon and I think it's a great dose of real life skills.

We have THE REAL ACT PREP BOOK also. It was written by the test makers of the ACT.

We will start one this year using MFW and supps.

We purchased it and are finding it a great asset to our nature studies. I had access to the online book also but it was so frustrating to scroll through the entire thing. I would rather have the book in front of me.

For those who have supplemented science with ECC, what have you found to be a great compliment to the lessons?

Wow! Only 3x this year! You are doing great. We eat out probably once a month and sometimes once every other month. I cook a lot.
