      hahaha! Thanks, Cleo!

  3. Someone please cheer me on - I'm in the thick of finalizing writing up high school course descriptions, textbooks lists, and "letter from the educator about the curriculum you followed." My brain is fried!

  4. Pleased about ds's great SAT scores!!! Thank you SWB, JW, and TWTM community!

  5. Talking to a College Board rep....yah. Not fun, esp. when they don't understand a simple question. And when they ask the uni. registrar I'm in contact with what the abbreviation is for the state of Canada.

      Yes, 'twas true. Now I'm waiting to hear back from another CB rep. And the registar told me she had been transferred five times before she finally gave up and decided to try another day. Still waiting...

  6. Pleased about ds's good SAT chemistry test score, and feeling validated again for WTM-style science at home!!

  7. Wow, almost 60,000 members here! How this forum has grown over the years. Such a great place to talk about all aspects of homeschooling!!

      Well, yes, there are the spammers...I guess I was just shocked when I decided to check out the recent numbers.

       

      Lisa, if you mean me, thanks! :D I am trying to check more often, but this past year and a half have been busy. I think right now I read more often than I post. I still look for those in-depth discussions. :D

      Congratulations to your son, too! Glad to hear it!

  10. Beta-testing WWS 2 - I can't say enough about how helpful this program is to me and my kids!!! Well-done, SWB.

  11. chocolate again.

      Chocolate "again" indicates a break in chocolate happenings (which is totally unacceptable.) :D

      hahaha! There is never a break here. :D I just wrote that because I wanted to replace the "worried" status I wrote last week, and figured chocolate is always a good thing to post. :D

  12. Worried about the bombshell dropped on homeschoolers in Nova Scotia this week.

  13. Done with this school year. It's been a very busy winter and spring. I'm missing interacting here! Hope to chat with some of you here soon.

  14. Hugs to Kalanamak and family.

  15. I just have to say, that I have read many of your posts here over the past year (maybe more at the old board? I can't remember), and I am always so impressed at the job you seem to be doing with homeschooling your kids!!! You don't ever seem to be panicking about anything - you seem so confident and calm or something. Anyway, just wanted you to know that someone noticed, and you are encouraging to me!

     

    Hope your arm is feeling better, too.

  16. I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband, Julie. Many hugs to you. -Colleen

  17. Hi Rhonda! I see you logged in recently. Just wondering how things have been going for you!

  18. Hi Lisa, you came to mind today, and I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you and said a prayer for you.

  19. Gosh, I'm super-glad you decided to start posting here!! I just read your first 30 posts, and you are a WEALTH of nitty-gritty science-teaching info.! I'm not reading any salesmanship in any of your posts, either. Thanks for helping us out!!

  20. Whooooohooooooo!!!!!!!! Congratulations, Grandma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh, I am SURE you are only a year or so older than me - you'll be a young Grandma!

  21. Jean, wasn't Kathy a regular on the old boards, too? I'm pretty sure she was. What about posting an announcement on the general board about her, with a link to her husband's visitor message to you? I bet there are others who would want to know.

  22. I left a "thank you" message here in Sept., but am now editing, because I think I can creatively leave official positive feedback for you now. :D Off to try...

  23. Regena, Just wanted to say thank you again for all the info and links you typed out for me. Your posts about chemistry are very helpful to me and have given me lots of food for thought. You've helped to demystify it for me. Thank you!

  24. Congratulations on your newest baby, Kristiana!!!!

  25. You are too funny, and I can't find the ROTFL smilie to put here!!!!!!!
