    THANK YOU for this reality check. My son is normal. I am normal. We will move forward with understanding and grace.

    I can understand why it would be distasteful if the process is abused, but I have not had that issue. My husband and I give generously to our church and we DO want to know that proper records are kept. We have not had problems with folks "keeping track" of what we give. Additionally, if you contributed $250 or more to your organization, you must receive written acknowledgment from the organization stating the amount of cash you donated, as well as a statement as to whether or not you received anything from the organization, such as goods or services, in return. I like everything above board - no misunderstandings - done decently and in order.

    Have you thought about presenting your "vent" to your pastor instead of a homeschooling forum? If you have this concern, there may be other members who feel the same way. Just sayin' . . .

    :iagree: It's easy to Monday morning quarterback the path this family chose. I read "No Regrets" a few years ago and always desired to hear more from the mother. No matter what the goals are for your family, there are some things to learn from Joyce Swann, as someone mentioned earlier, dedication of time, developing a plan, and being consistent. Big thanks to Joyce Swann for sharing the principles that made their homeschooling experience a success.

    Thank you, that is EXACTLY my point.

    That one really screams hypocrisy. I would think Mr. Menino would be more concerned about bringing jobs to the Commonwealth instead of practicing the very discrimination he claims to oppose. Mr. Cathy was being interviewed by the Baptist Press. I would really be shocked if he gave any other answer. They have been in business for 56 years with the reputation of supporting Christian values. For those who are "boycotting," I supposed you don't have a problem with the "million moms" group boycotting JC Penneys.

    I don't understand why folks are up in arms over a 91-year old man's point of view. I've never heard of Chic-fil-a discriminating against any of their workers or refuse to sell a burger to anyone based on anything personal. Mr. Cathy was asked his opinion and he gave it. Good grief, isn't that allowed anymore?

    This is a wise thing to do. Last year our house was hit by a tornado and we lost everything, and I mean everything. I cherish the haphazard digital portfolio I had online and only WISH I had a thorough digital portfolio of our k-4 homeschool years.

    I'm still trying to understand exactly why we thought it was a good idea to buy a time share. The only thing we can do is pay it off, and then return it to Marriott to maintain our credit and be rid of the outrageous "yearly maintenance fees." This has been a painful and expensive lesson. :angry:

    :iagree: ^^^ Yes, what they said; however, if you are not convinced yet, I have one for sale . . . :001_smile:

    I second this company. When I ordered my son's guitar I was surprised at how soon we received it. Something like within 23 hours. David was very helpful answering all my questions and a pleasure to do business with.

    Yellow Dock is a great source to increase iron levels. I have taken it with iron and dramatically brought my iron levels up in 2 months in preparation for surgery. When i got to the hospital the intake nurse kept asking if I had a transfusion because my iron levels had changed so much in such a short period of time. Do a search for "yellow dock anemia" and you'll find plenty information. Here is one site to get you started: http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/15/58.cfm Hope this helps. Yolanda eta: I used Yellow Dock capsules. (The blood building iron teas are a bit vile for me)

    disputee wants the exact phrase polled: "Belmont is a community church where everyone is welcomed and we are here for you." OR Belmont is a community church where everyone is welcome and we are here for you.
