I have a close relative doing this, she let me try it but I did not like how tight it made my face and also the price, it's really expensive. So far, she hasn't made anything, but she is not a natural seller, she hasn't done anything with it really until the last month...except go to lots of meetings and even a convention in Los Vegas, I think. So, she has spent quite a bit of money in my opinion but not made anything. The person above her did earn a car, and says that her husband quite working to work this with her- I'm pretty skeptical though. It looks like your average MLM to me.

the only thing that works for me are the patches. You have to get a prescription for them, the first time I got them I was pregnant and going on a cruise- changed my life. I am so motion sick that I usually drive my car everywhere, I don't like to even sit as a passenger.

:grouphug:

we know a Fisher (fisher of men) Zion is very popular boy name at our church, so is Jubilee (both boys and girls). Titus, Gideon and Boaz are also popular. I knew a pastor family who had a boy named Roman, I loved that name. Also, at our church, Jasper (precious stone in New Jerusalem) -we teach in the children's church so we hear a lot of neat names.

so glad! I finally got the courage up to speak to my Dr. about depression, and I wish I had done it years ago. I finally took the advice I give to other people about depression. So glad you are doing better!

I'm in, and wordless! snapped a beautiful photo of a sunset at my boy's lacrosse game. It's with my iphone and because of the fading light, not the greatest photo, but still beautiful, I think. Happy WW! WW- OC Sunset

I think Harriet is on to something there. Treat her like royalty on the way to signing, pander, be grateful. and then after, maybe it's time to distance yourself, it sounds like being the fall guy is too much on you- maybe it's time to walk away, after you've gotten this signed. {{hugs}}

aww, that was wonderful! and great photos!

blogger is really easy to use. I have wordpress self-hosted now, but I started out on blogger and it was really easy to figure out/use. come back and link up your new blog when it's up!

mine is up! My best friend moved to Singapore a few years ago, she is visiting and brought her new (to me) baby over and the baby was fascinated by our dog door Wordless Wednesday - dog door my back door was um, not very picture-esque so I added a charcoal layer and some brown shading in pse.

glad you went in, take care of yourself!

I don't see a thread, so I'm starting one for this week's WW here is mine: my labradoodle decided to help out with laundry. Or not. Wordless Wednesday-laundry day Happy WW! :drool:

I am so sorry.

my sister's kids crack me up. Her dd pre-K told her mom she wants Santa to bring her long hair. sister is pondering how to fulfill this gift request. We laughed about it on the phone.

welcome to homeschooling! yeah, you'll get used to the unsolicited judgement from -everyone.

I would bring what she asked- and get the non-organic kind so as not to waste money. and then, I'd make a kick-ass fruit salad of a different kind, with all the good oraganic ingredients that my family likes, and I would bring it with me. (if I feel smug later when my fruit salad is devoured by everyone and her fruit-cocktail-sh fruit salad sits there, heh, no one else needs to know, but I would be smiling insided) and then I wouldn't offer ever again, since she can't play nice.

yes, I just purchased Aplogia's biblical world view bible study program - What we believe, to do with my 8th and 6th graders. It has already arrived and I'm thinking of starting next week. also, ds is doing a Latin class online, there hasn't been any homework, I'm concerened it's too light, so I'm thinking of not signing up for the next semester and doing Memoria press Latin with him. other than that, I have so much on my shelves already, I need to resist shopping and dive into what I already have.

I'm in Ca and to get funds we have to go through a public school charter school. They vary in how they are set up. My kids are considered public school students and have to be tested every year, though the testing doesn't affect anything. I get a set amount each semester per kid and can spend it on whatever materials I want as long as they are on the vendor list with the school and as long as they are not religous materials. I can also spend the funds on outside classes, which is really what we use most of our funds for- art lessons and piano lessons. I buy a few things through the school like online math (aleks) which is a good deal through the school. I usually purchased my story of the world materials through the school, too. Most of our other books I buy myself, it helps our budget out better because I can often re-use books I buy with younger kids but lessons you cannot. Charter schools have different "flavors" and some are more parent-led then others. It has become a toss-up as my kids have hit highschool age, I have more hoops to jump through and I seriously question each year if the funding is worth the hassle. So far though, we have kept up with it.

glad he's doing better! When my son was a toddler, he had several instances where he seemed to pop his wrist out of joint. The first time it happened, I didn't take him to the E.R. because as a homeschool mom with kids I wasn't vaccinating, I really feared what would happen when I came in with a toddler who just "woke up" with a broken arm (he was spending the night at his grandparents and woke up crying and screaming). I dithered about what to do, and ended up taking him to my pediatrician who has 8 kids, is a mom and is pretty understanding of "stuff" happening. She examined him, said the joint was warm and probably indicated a break, called ahead to the xray place for me to take him to...and then, as I was signing out in the lobby, it must have popped back into place. He took his arm out of the sling, used sign language to say "all done" and then started walking on his hands in the lobby. The receptionisist called the Dr. out to see it. same type of thing happened with him two other times, one of the times I was manipulating the arm to try to figure out if it was broken, with a nurse on the phone when I felt it pop back into place. freaky. some things are a mystery and yes, I get not wanting to do the ER thing. Even with insurance, when my kids were having croup/and asthma I always debated going in, it was not a fun place to be, the wait was usually hours and it was expensive. thanks for checking back and letting us know how he is!

thank you!!! the granola did not have any of those ingredients, so I'll just wait and see. I do have pumpkin, I was kind of thinking of that. I often make her homemade food with yams, I was kind of thinking in that direction. Rough Collie, thanks I didn't know that the rhubarb was not good for dogs, I'm so glad I asked here and that you answered. :) she seems like herself....I'll give her some pumpkin with her breakfast and take her for a walk. thanks Hive!

my labradoodle helped herself to a bag of granola while we were at church :glare: the bag contained 2 cups, and it had been used, so I'm guessing she ate maybe one cup or maybe one cup and 1/3 at the most. Gave her lots of water, just saw her go outside and try to go but didn't do anything, I'm thinking she may be a little stopped up. Any suggestions? I have this natural kid stool softener capsules that I use for myself (I have to take lots of iron pills) and it is really gentle, so I'm thinking of emptying one into her food at dinner to "help" a bit. the capsule has flax seed, prune fruit, fig fruit, rhubarb root, peach leaf and then some acidophilus. anyone see something I shouldn't give a dog? or does anyone else have a suggestion on what to give her. I'd rather not take her to the vet right away if we can manage this at home, if she doesn't produce anything after 24 hours then I will take her to the vet. edit to add: she's a big labradoodle, mostly standard poodle size.

I really like Wabi-Sabi Wanderings and Small Things and SouleMama

my dd did one using a soda bottle bottle, clay and jello. She didn't use any thing else edible inside, though. here's a link with a photo http://www.homeiswhereyoustartfrom.com/2012/04/homeschool-beat-what-is-hip-and-happening/

my dh fought a ticket in a different state for something like not yielding to a police officer (lights going we pulled to right but exited the freeway because of dense fog before stopping) and speeding (which he might have been doing, the speed would drop when you hit city limits, but it would have been only 10 mph more but with the fog he should have been going slower) dh kept the emotions out of it and stuck to the facts and didn't mention the bad conduct of the officer. He stated the conditions -extreme fog and the fact that a few days before a horrific accident on a highway in Texas due to fog had just been all over the news and we didn't feel safe stopping on the highway. He also stated that the officer had been following someone else ahead of us, then braked quickly to get behind us and immediately turned on the lights without enough time to pace us for speed. It worked, I was really surprised. He typed it up very neatly on the form provided and stuck to facts. **edited due to TMI

I'm so sorry for your loss {{hugs}}
