  1. You might not be disabled, but still be Disabled. Disabled means unable to work at gainful employment because of a physical or mental illness. That's exactly what you are.

     

    It doesn't mean that you are useless, or lazy, or incapable of productive living. It's a legal definition, not a moral one.

     

    Apply already. The benefits are retroactive to the date of application. You will probably be turned down and have to appeal. So it will take a while. But I bet you will get it eventually.

     

    Call the SSA and ask how to get their Red Book on disability. You have to either fax or write for it, but it is free, and it tells all about it.

     

    You have nothing to lose by applying.

     

    This is what I was trying to say, plus there are a ton of disability lawyers here in PA, so after first denial you have 60 day to get atty and refile. Its easy.

  2. Hey you, first of all i would try the disability, it does not mean you are lazy. But it will help you w/the bills,and maybe they will bring down the balance b/c you are disabled. Disabled means you cant work sometimes.

     

    What if you do take a job and then you feel like carp, thats what I have been running into, one day I have energy , the next I am down. So hard to commit.

     

    But, jobs are few and far between in the city, I still am just walking dogs and it does not help w/the bills. I am actively searcing and nothing, although I dont have a stinkin resume. that cuts out a lot of potentials.

     

    If you dont want to go disability route, what about a Special Ed. Advocate, lots of Special Ed lawyers need help, you dont need a certificate. brush up on Special ed laws in pa. This job is very rewarding.

  3. My experience with K12 (the program itself) has been very good. Even using it with a virtual school, I have the freedom to do the lessons aloud or skip them or adjust them if I want. The lit program, at least at the upper elementary (4, 5, 6) is very good. The kids get some real experience reading good lit and analyzing it - not in depth, but at an appropriate level. I love the history program, science is good - our kit came with everything out of the ordinary we might need. I provide things like plastic cups, food coloring, household chemicals, etc.

     

    We are going through a VA again this year (starting mid-year) and while I have had issues with the school, the problem isn't with K12. Next year we will be using it independently for my older two - considering it for youngest dd.

    I vote for K12 to start where you are. I have a k12 grad, so it is a good program.

     

    My other vote is for Veritas Press, but I dont know how young they start.

  4. It depends. Is the stranger breathing, coughing, or licking on my face?

     

    :lol:

     

    I'd say the odds are better you'll catch something at the doctor's office than in a grocery store, but I don't think it's any easier.

     

    Wait.

     

    Are YOU licking anything in the doctor's office? How about the stranger?

     

    :lol:

     

    I am rolling, first of all what does qualified bee keeper even mean????

     

    What is w/the licking, I cannot remember a time I have been licked in public????

    The tears are rolling.

  5. The most rigorous is Veritas Press,

     

    The second is K12/int.com or K12 international. It used to use apex, and matter of fact still does, but does not like to admit it. I like it better than apex b/c of their extracurricular and teachers are much better

     

    Laurel Springs is rigorous. We have only done one class and no teacher interaction, although may be more if you are full time.

     

    Cost comp is most exp. K12, than Apex, than VP.
