  1. Just an individual plan (right now). I don't need a smart phone, but it would be ok. I mostly talk and text a ton! I was with Verizon for years, but now open to anything. I would love to purchase a new phone. I've been researching for hours and have online chatted with Verizon a couple of times. I'm thinking of doing the Verizon prepaid $50 plan, but they said I had to have one of their phones.

     

    Wondering if I could purchase a "C" phone anywhere?

  2. We just got back from the playground, and while there I was thinking of this post. I never played any sports growing up. Now, as an adult I play just about every sport. I was just playing football, dodge ball, and basketball. I literally did not learn to play (nor did I feel comfortable playing) until I became a mom.

  3. I'm not sure I could find the article again, but I read somewhere that kiddos who engage in sports have a very reduced risk of alcohol, drug, and tobacco abuse in high school.

    I chuckled a little when I read the above. I have heard the same thing, and it makes perfect sense. I laughed because while in high school the girl's tennis team was suspended for drinking before their matches. The football, baseball, soccer, and basketball teams were big partiers, too. I didn't play sports myself, but my brothers did. Oh the stories I could tell! I grew up in a somewhat conservative, affluent town and drinking/drugs was very common during and after school (with the athletes) It was crazy!

     

    I think competitive sports are great if you enjoy them, but they are not necessary. I believe music, art, and other activities can be just as beneficial.

  4. I saw that you used HOD in the past. I started out using HOD(a few yrs ago) and was majorly turned off by it (the author rubbed me wrong & I didn't love the guides we used). That being said, I'm really liking the looks of HOD Preparing Hearts guide. I had been piecing things together which was working fine, but I really want someone to guide and tell me what to do this year. I will probably tweak the guide, but have learned that is fine to do.

     

    Maybe look at different levels of the vendors you've already tried. They may surprise you.

    HTH.

  5. Is your child in 4th? We were using A Beka in 4th and BOMBED the fractions! We switched to Saxon 5/4 (they don't start fractions till 6/7). Now, dd is in 6th grade, doing Epsilon and FLYING through it. It may just be that your kiddo isn't ready for fractions. Have you always used MUS? Could you maybe do something else and go back to it?

     

    Blessings!
