Thanks! And your post tickled me. LOL

Wow. That is so foreign to me (I live in GA). My 12-year-old son is fascinated with weather, so I just showed him the video, too; he was quite impressed!

Congratulations! :)

Actually 4 seconds would only be 0.8 mile away. http://www.usatoday.com/weather/wlight1.htm

How exciting! :001_smile:

Welcome, Amanda! I hope you enjoy the boards. :)

Thanks! I look forward to reading your review! The link posted on page 3 has higher quality pages, so the files are larger and take longer to download. (eta: At least that was the case for Junior High Vol. 1, Part 1.)

Poor little fellow. If your mommy instinct is telling you to take him in, I'd take him.

I'm so happy to read this. My sister has Graves', and she had RAI twice (long, horrible story :(), so she essentially has no thyroid. She's tried at least four different meds, and she still feels bad all the time. Both she and I read about Tirosint, but we couldn't find any personal stories about it. I'll have to tell her about this. How long have you been taking it?

Are there any windows? If not, then I'd stay up all night reading the books and then sleep all day.

I'm thinking of you. :grouphug:

I think it's awesome, but my first thought is that the books would get moldy in the bathroom with all that humidity!

I am, too! As another poster mentioned earlier, I'm going to save the files in case these are removed at some point, but I'm going to go ahead and print the junior high books.

Hardcover or softcover? How long?

Yay!

I agree.

LOL. I've been known to put stuff (like the box to some Discovery Toys that someone gave me when ds was younger) into the dryer (on the sweater/shoe rack thingy) to kill mold, but I'm afraid to do that with these books, especially the 1973 book, because I'm afraid it will ruin the binding.

You won't necessarily have all the symptoms of hypo- or hyper-. My diagnosis is also Hashimoto's, yet I was quite thin when I was diagnosed. In fact, I had a difficult time getting my GP to diagnose me because I didn't have all the "right" symptoms. I had had problems for decades, and looking back, it is obvious that my levels were up and down throughout the years. One endocrinologist told me that she was quite sure that I have both Hashimoto's and Graves', but she didn't bother to test me for Graves' because she said that either way she'd treat me based on my symptoms. I have both diseases in my immediate family, so it is quite likely. When I first began taking thyroid meds in 1999, I actually felt better, but that didn't last. For years after that, I always felt "off" even when my numbers showed otherwise. Please don't take the next statement as my "recommending" this, but I will tell you that after I started the diet that I'm on (yeast-free, gluten-free) in early 2009, I slowly weaned myself off my thyroid meds. I've been med-free for two years now, and I feel better than I did for at least eight years prior to that. There is a link between gluten and autoimmune disorders, so what I will recommend is that you consider a gluten-free diet to see if it helps you any. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Besides set theory, how does the rest of the 1985 edition compare to the 1973 edition? What about properties, divisibility rules, etc.?

If she has signs of a severe reaction, she should head to the ER. Did she get in touch with anyone about the ants?

Not too bad right now. The only good thing about not having enough rain is that there aren't as many mosquitoes.

Yet that didn't make national news. The same was true with the teacher I knew who quietly resigned when she was caught with a copy of "the test" from the previous year. (The students recognized the questions on "the test" and told their homeroom teachers who were testing them that the questions were exactly like the practice questions Mrs. ___ had given them.) We are required to test our homeschooled kids every three years, but, oddly enough, we just keep the scores for our own records. We aren't required to show them to anyone, but we could be asked to provide proof that we gave a test. The actual scores on the test wouldn't matter. I'm in Georgia.

:grouphug: I won't get into details right now, but my mother has paranoid schizophrenia, among other disorders. As a result, I had a very difficult childhood, but, at this point in my life, knowing what she has gone through for well over half her life makes me have nothing but compassion for her.

From the blog: We had to remove everything from our bulletin boards. Prior to testing, an administrator came around to inspect and make sure this had been done. Nope. I'll argue all day long against using test scores as a means of evaluating teachers. At one of the schools in our county, we had some kids who were living in the crawl space of someone else's home. :(
