Wonderful! Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

Praying for him and for you.

We ordered Chinese food last year for Christmas; it was wonderful! I'm thinking of a roast in the crock pot this year. Easy!
I don't do Christmas cards but my older teen does. She enjoys sending and receiving them, but they stress me!
My daughters select exactly what they want as gifts and usually order them online. I pay for them.
If I'm working close to Christmas day, the girls wrap their own presents. That's awful, isn't it?
My girls, also, put up our Christmas tree each year. We only put on lights. We stopped decorating the tree with ornaments a few years ago because of long it took and because the ornaments became cat toys very quickly.
I love Christmas and want to enjoy the loveliness of the season, not be stressed by the unimportant!

Praying for all of you, especially for your daughter.

It's mean-spirited and potentially abusive. It's not something I would tolerate in my presence. It's especially wrong for young children who don't have filters in place to evaluate comments / jokes.

Please stay with the original intent of this thread. If you wish to discuss the appropriateness of Thanksgiving as a holiday, start a new thread.
Forum rules: Do not assume that everyone on the boards shares a particular religious conviction
These boards are inclusive. You are welcome to ask theological questions, but don't post as though everyone who frequents the boards shares your ideology. Offending posts may be deleted. Don't use inquiries as an excuse to proselytize for anything. Answer questions that are posted but don't use these questions as an excuse to springboard into criticism. For example: If someone asks, "What are your kids dressing up as for Halloween?" don't launch into an explanation of how evil Halloween is. If someone asks, "Is Halloween evil?" have a ball. (Conversely: if someone posts, "We don't do Halloween; what can we substitute?" don't take this as an opportunity to prove to them that Halloween is really just fine.)

Wonderful! I'm seriously jealous. I worked in the Middle East years ago and loved it. If I could work abroad (or be rich enough to travel), I would in a heartbeat. Please keep us posted on your adventure.

Wonderful to read your update, Brandy! Good to have you back.

I would encourage your daughter to do what's best for her long-term health and her education. She has many years ahead of her to work.

My older daughter has earned the silver medal and is slowly working on the gold. She hasn't applied to any selective universities so I don't know if the awards would help or not. I will say the interviewer for her part-time job was impressed and asked her a lot of questions about the program and her achievements. My younger daughter hasn't submitted any paperwork for any level yet. Since it can be inexpensive, I think it's a good way to show that teens are involved in the community as well as learning new skills.

There's no SAT question of the day through email anymore. My younger daughter gets an emailed SAT-type question each day from Kaplan Prep - mostly reading passages. I'm looking for a math of the day question now.

I'm not in a similar position, but if I had the money I would love to have a home with an attached apartment anyway. It could be used to generate some income if not needed for family members. My concern would be for the long term. What would happen to your son if you and your husband were not able to continue looking after him. Are you his legal guardians now? Would you be able to identify family or friends who would be willing to act as his guardians if you couldn't. Does your son have a therapist or social worker who could help you think through some of the issues? This has to be a painful situation for you. I hope you find solutions.

Still running the A/C here but hoping it will be cool enough soon to have neither heat of A/C.

Fantastic! What a wonderful accomplishment. Congratulations to both of you. :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

I'm so very sorry. I lost my younger brother unexpected several years ago. The pain is deep! Praying for you and your family.

My older daughter loved Madame S.'s French classes at the Potter's School.

My daughter is taking the PSAT next week. I just looked at the college board site; it says the student's social security number is optional. I'm going to send her SS number with her anyway, just in case.

Landry Academy has semester long classes in writing and literature. The classes are more affordable if you buy generic semesters either from Landry well in advance or from anyone who is willing to sell their generic semesters. The generic semesters are transferable. Landry, also, offers specials fairly often.

Praying for her and her family.

Praying for you.

You might also consider Christian Healthcare Ministries as an alternative to compare. Routine prescriptions aren't covered by CHM. I don't know about SM. My older daughter is on one of CHM's programs. She's only had to use the sharing once - we're still in the process of sending receipts. Unfortunately, we did have problems with the surgeon who didn't understand the program at all. I paid the bill up front (no choice) and hope to get my money back soon from CHM.

Congratulations! Well done.
I admit it, I'm really starting to get scared.
