I hate lateness. I cut my friends some slack since they're usually getting kids out of the house, as am I, but I always leave way early. In a professional setting it drives me insane to have to wait and wait on someone. Just yesterday I had an 8:30a appt. and I arrived and signed in at 8:20a. I wasn't called back until 8:55a and I was the first appt. and the only one there. :confused:

I've had mine for 5 or 6 years. It's on a bottom molar. If it were amalgam you would be able to see it when I talk.

I have a composite filling and I like that you can't tell. It was a rather large, but flat filling and it it were amalgam it'd look horrible.

Our district is half day for most children. Kids with IEPs and such who need additional therapies can go for a full without paying an additional fee. Typical kids can extend the day for a fee. My niece in another major city goes to K on M,W,TH one week and just M and W the next. It's so confusing for her and not very consistent.

Aden+Anais blankets are the very best baby gift. Infinitely useful and soft, yet lightweight. They are much larger than standard sized baby blankets.

:iagree: For sure.

That's what I was going to add. My daughter really enjoyed that book when she was 6. It's a fun read.

I'll just speak about #5 because that's where I eat while I'm at the convention. If you go out the huge doors by the registration and walk across the street and keep going there is a courtyard with food establishments around the perimeter and there is a chipotle. It's easily walked to from the center.

I was running the same programs (chrome on xp) and ran into the same issue. I had to download mozilla firefox, which is the program I was running prior to chrome. I could not find a work around.

My little guy was on an appetite stimulant called Megace, which we used off label as a side effect is weight gain. Though when that didn't do the trick he ended up with a NG feeding tube and was on a complete formula 18 hours a day. I tried to make the foods that he ate count, so lots of high fat and high calorie foods. I cooked things in coconut oil, real butter, and olive oil. And whatever he wanted to eat I would make it or get it right away before the craving passed. Hope you find something that works for your mom.

We've been doing Little Passports for a year now. My 8 year old really likes it, but after looking at Top Secret Adventures, which I'd never heard of, I think we'll switch. It seems to have more content. We've really enjoyed LP, but I think my daughter would enjoy TSA more.

Yes, of course.

My 8 year old loves to receive mail so I bought a subscription for her birthday. We've had 8 packages so far and she really enjoys them. There is an online component that we haven't explored yet, but each package focuses on a country and includes a photo of a landmark, an item that would be associated with that country, a luggage tag with a code to access the additional info online, a letter from the two kids who are traveling and a fact sheet with some games like word finds on it. Based on the kids I know I could see it being something for kids 5-12. The company has been really easy to work with and they respond quickly to emails.

I love it too! We're keeping that method for sure. However, I don't believe we considered it revolutionary in the beginning. :lol: And I'm glad you have D and E to check as our girls move on to multiplication and division.

I was actually going to come and post about our conversation last night, but I'm glad you did because I think you covered it better than I would have. :D I'll just add a bit to the conversation. My daughter went through RS B and part of RS C. Due to a crazy life situation I felt like I couldn't keep up with padding RS out in order to make it work for us any longer. I, like Tara, was adding worksheets, word problems, doing the card games and it was all too much work. I'm not a lazy homeschooler and we both loved RS, but I couldn't continue spending 2+ hours a week making worksheets and playing games in order to flesh out an already meaty math program. (Apologies to my lovely vegan friend for the meat references.:tongue_smilie:) We did Math Mammoth Addition and Subtraction 2b over the summer while doing RS C and I really fell in love with the pace that MM moved and the amount of work was perfect for her.
