don is just Don. Quixote is: key ho tea carol.

I agree. WAHOOOO. We're celebrating right along with you. Praise God!!!! His blessings, Cb in socal.

Don't forget Bible, Bible, and Bible. If your kids aren't grounded in it, they'll not be able to analyze most literature. At UCSD's Revelle college, Bible is their most difficult course, and inmho, it is the Creator of the universe's book He left us -- in every reading, its blessings and wisdom and blessings are so evident.

We've purchased two there now. You can get this ultra cheap metal that doesn't turn green! It lasts and looks like antiqued silver but then you have fewer styles to choose from (I think two or three). Our oldest got one for $87, the next graduate (this year!) for $57. Blessings, CB

The nuclear option!!! He finally was sent to an ear, nose and throat specialist who operated on his sinuses -- trimmed them, re-routed one side of his nose!!! trimmed extra adenoids away et cetera. Since then he has had NO sinus infections. It took us 5 years of stupid tap dances around non-medical obstacles such as insurance people and HMOs before his every other month sinus infections and anti-biotics came to an end. We know what you're going through. My prayers are with you and they are that the Lord will help you find that one specialist who will have the wisdom to take care of your son. love in Christ, CB

Daughter has following opportunities at local non-conserv. college: She's interviewing/auditioning today to play as their chorale accompaniest and for their spring musical back-up accompaniest. Her piano teacher is a professor there and daughter has played for singers' recitals already at the college and got a job locally playing piano for musical theater. I think it's a huge perk that she'd have these in-roads already at this college -- she's already compiled quite a resume; and after all these other things; I can't imagine the conservatory beating out the experience being offered at this smaller school. But her piano/music prof. is retiring at end of semester. She auditions for the conservatory 3rd wk of Feb. The gal in the music department there told dd she had a difficult time coming up with $$ for this school and worked (in addition to already working for the conservatory because she got a scholarship there) as an accompaniest to singers. But my daughter won't know anyone there. Will the music department find her work??? I just don't know how it will work out. Should I stop worrying until after the audition?? What do you all think????

In fact, after her lab last night, she looked a few things up in the apologica physics book that her professor didn't explain clearly. Glad it was around. blessings, cb

as in a conservatory? Her college piano professor told her she'll be very bored anywhere else but the price of the conservatory is enormallllll. Plus she'll need room and board and that's $5000 a year!!! which so far the scholarships don't seem to cover. Eu vey. She's so talented and has learned so much through the certificate of merit program but you can only do what you can do right??? Is there hope for her at a non-conservatory of music? thanks, cb
