Have you looked at a site called mousesavers? It talks about deals going on for resorts and tickets. I usually go to Disney every year and I get 40% off Disney resorts. If you need more help .... Just let me know. I'm also thinking about going during homeschool days in Sept.

I think children and sometimes young adults don't fully understand a situation until they see it with their eyes. At the end of the show some of the older kids were crying and some had a little bit of shock in their face. I sort of disagree with you about Josh. I think he had concern for his sister, but didn't want to stress out his mom at that time.

I agree that she looks like a German Pointer. Is the dog starting to relax a little in your home?

We switched to VideoText a couple of months ago because my DD was having a hard time with another program. She LOVES VT!!! I'm really thrilled she has this program and she is learning a lot. A couple of times she had a problem with a lesson and we didn't move on until she mastered the concept. I also want to add that my DD wasn't a "math person", but now loves to do math and understands it. Good Luck!

I have a daughter that does the same thing. She is a little stubborn, she has SPD and we just found out she has a problem with her vision. She has a rare condition in her left eye and amblyopia. If she hasn't had her vision checked by an OPTOMETRIST, I would get it checked out to rule eye problems out. My daughter passed vision tests at her school and at the doctor visits, but they never caught her eye condition.

Did Nancy give Jemima a home?

I would LOVE to take the Lab., but I'm in Florida. :( Please tell your parents to find a Lab. Rescue program for the dog, a pound will probably put the dog to sleep. I have a 3 year old Choc. Lab. that use to be obnoxious. People thought I was crazy for taking him, but he only needed some training and exercise.

:hurray: I'm so happy you were able to adopt your little girl. She is so beautiful!

I've tried everything for my scalp and nothing ever worked. I finally went to a dermatologist and he told me to use Tarsum shampoo/gel. I love this stuff!!! It is over the counter, however, you have to ask the pharmacist to order it or they might have it behind their counter. Also, if you can't find a shampoo that works, go to a dermatologist and they will give you some hair products that will work.

If you have no health insurance in the US and you are pregnant you can get on presumptive medicaid. The insurance will cover the pregnancy and the hospital stay. Also, the baby and mother are covered for 30 days (with presumptive) and then they will probably go into regular Medicaid.

Extremely sad! This is what universal health care is all about, saving money is more important than a life.

The BIG problem was the old lesson plans after the speech. Now that they changed the lesson plans to be more student focus, most people don't have a problem with it any more.

I LOVE the 5000 Year Leap!

I just started this program last week. My body doesn't really like me right now, but it will in a few weeks.

Her letter was not from a private insurer, it was from Medicaid.

You need to look at the state of Oregon. A family friend of ours has cancer and received a letter ( a year ago) that they won't cover her cancer medicine, but they will cover the pills for euthanasia. This is not a letter I would want to receive for so many reasons. I also read in a paper the other day that this is still going on.

Coming in late ...... I hated the military health care! Why? Well, when I was pregnant I couldn't see an OBGYN and I had to go to family practice for prenatal care. In fact, I only knew one family that one the prize to see an OBGYN. The care at the family practice didn't know a lot about pregnancies and couldn't take care of my needs and almost killed my baby and myself. A friend of mine had a baby and the doctor (military FP) sewed her anus up. I have so many stories, it would scare you. Oh, and to get any good care at a military facility you had to complain and fight a TON to get a small amount of quality of care. I'm sorry, but I don't trust the government with my health care. You also stated something about people yelling and being rude ..... This is nothing new because it went on for the past 8 years.

Cell phone service really depends on where you live and the coverage you will receive. We had TMobile and hated every min we had them. Horrible customer service and horrible cell phone coverage. We are currently on verizon and have awesome customer service and coverage. We even have coverage way out in the boonies!

I use to work as a social worker for abuse prevention program and I worked side by side with DCF. This is how the system works in Florida - They can not take your kids because you left an 8 year old in charge. The reason for this, single moms have to work and most cannot afford day care ..... that is why the recommended age is in most states. Second, the house being dirty is an issue but they will give a person time to clean it up. They will come by again and inspected the home several times and if it is kept clean they will close the investigation. Now that I said that, this is a time for your sister to ask for help. Have her tell the social worker she needs help with day care and a first call for help list. First call for help list is a bunch of phone numbers she can call for assistance in a time of need. Working with families .... we have found out that some people can't keep a house clean because they are so depressed. Does your sister have depression?

:iagree:

This is a very interesting topic and one that I will be teaching next year. Does anyone have information on Incredible Creatures That Defy Evolution series? Basically, I'm wondering if it was worth the money and how did you like the series? Thanks! Lynne
