I love Rodan + Fields skincare. I have stopped using under eye concealer except on the most sleep deprived nights. Their eye cream lasts a good while. I guess I could be considered biased since I sell the stuff, but I started selling it because it on my funky skin.

Do you have a preferred edition for either of these?

I picked up at a book sale the 4th edition of Algebra for College Students ISBN 0321036476. Is this one of the books? It's one of the hardback editions.

I took Algebra/Trig after Algebra 2, never took calculus. Publishers like BJU offer pre-calc after Algebra 2. I see that Lial's has both. So what comes after Intermediate Algebra?

I don't have the student edition for Intermediate Algebra, just the 2 courses before. If the regular version is better does anyone know the correct ISBN for that instructor's edition?

I have BCM and Introductory Algebra in softcover by Pearson Addison Wesley. I ordered the Annotated Instructor's Edition 8th edition for Intermediate Algebra. I received it today and it is actually the hardcover alternate version by Addison Wesley Longman. How does this one work with teaching? Is it as good as the regular version? What are the differences between this one and the other version. It was just a couple of dollars, so I don't mind getting another one.

I am not happy with Saxon Algebra 1for my co-op class. After this year I am dropping it and will teach a full on geometry course next year. If I then do the second Lial's course for Algebra 2, will my students be adequately prepared having done the Saxon Algebra 1?

For many, many years I have suspected my youngest has ADHD. I tried to ignore it because and work on behavioral issues as I think it is a cop-out for a lot of parents who just don't want to discipline. But, as a former teacher, I know it does exist. My youngest eats a fairly healthy diet, swims over a mile, close to 2, 5 days a week, and still is fidgety, prone to saying whatever is in her brain at a particular time, and immediately regrets it, lies and doesn't know why, can hyper focus. She usually falls asleep immediately at night. One of her teachers in co-op is a child psychiatrist and she says dd definitely has it. She also said don't medicate until it is affecting her moods relationships and she is showing signs of depression. We are there. She is very smart. The main problem is the boundless energy. She gets in people's faces, climbs all over the place, jumps in place, always needs to be doing somethings. She is just overwhelming to her friends and they are getting uncomfortable around her. But she can focus on building her KNex, knitting and school. But the impulse control and temper are awful. And she told me last night that she feels like she just can't control her energy. She can sit for a church service but afterwards is zooming around the place during fellowship. I have read some of the posts about the coffee and 5 Hour Energy. I think the possibility of getting a 10 yo to drink black coffee is slim, and, while I hate artificial sweeteners, I am wondering about a sugar free coffee drink or creamer. But would one cup of coffee work all day? DH is fine with going to the doctor. I am all for treating without meds, but BTDT, and it ain't working. So, are any of your kids being treated for ADHD and if so, what are they taking? My psych friend likes Strattera, but I know that has some side effects. In fact they all do. I have one friend who says ritalin saved her son. I know this may be trial and error. But after my experience with trying very expensive antidepressants and then finding out that the older one on the $4 list at Walmart works wonders for me, I am wondering if we should just start simple and work our way up. My poor, poor dd. She is so sweet too. She is spending an incredible amount of time knitting scarves for the kids who are at the domestic violence shelter where a friend of mine works. She has made 3 since Sunday. And some toys, too. No prompting from me. She came up with this on her own. She has got such a huge heart, and right now it's carrying a heavy burden. And it is getting harder and harder for people to see it because her energy just turns them off.

I read on this thread that CPO had their labsheets free on their website, but I can't find them. Anyone have a link? Thanks!

I took it but had horrible thoughts. However, I am extremely sensitive to medication and tried 5 antidepressants before going on prozac. No side effects.

Thanks!

I have been loaned SOTW, vol 2, 1st edition, both the text and activity books. What are the diferences between the first and second editions? Can I use the tests for the 2d edition with the first? Unless there is a vast improvement over version 1 and 2, I don't want to spend the money if I don't have to. Thanks!

We're kind of in that weird nether region with the vaccine. When my kids got it, they said no booster. When they started recommending the booster, we were done with all vaccines that were not required by the schools. The CP vaccine is, but we've never gone to school so we didn't need it. ARGHH!

If it is not the chicken pox, my older dd has a case of slowly spreading oozing lesions on her face and neck, which needs to be addressed and diagnosed. That is why I need confirmation as to what it is. Because it is not presenting itself in classic chicken pox form, we can't say definitively. I guess that is part of the problem when you get them after you have been vaccinated - it doesn't follow the classic pattern.

I got extremely sick when I had the chicken pox at age 4. I was actually surprised when I found out it usually wasn't usually something that made you very sick. My niece had a classmate who died from it. So, no worries, I tread very lightly with this! I spoke with a friend who is a dr., our dr's nurse and our doctor. They all said it sounds like chicken pox. Thanks for the info. We'll proceed as if they have it and get confirmation at the doctor tomorrow.
