The last week and a half my arms started itching, then it went to my shoulders and neck. It itches most in the morning and at night. I was searching on the internet and came across dermatologist website and found a condition called brachioradal pruritus. I don't have dry skin. There is no rash on my skin. I don't think it's an allergic reaction, I haven't changed any products I use. Has anyone else dealt with this? Thanks, Peggy

CC-Talking to teens about secular music
Peggy in Ks replied to Peggy in Ks's topic in General Education Discussion Board
All your input was very helpful. -
My ds and dd received iTunes cards for Christmas from their Grandparents. Our family listening to CC music,but my ds and dd have gotten into listening to other types of music through Pandora on the internet. They are careful about what the lyrics say and we also check on what they are listening to. Well, they want to buy some secular songs with their iTunes and we don't want them to. Are we making a big deal out of nothing? We want to set high standards for our children and don't want them getting into to buying secular music while they are in our home. When they get out of the house that is up to them. They are great Christian kids and strong in their walk with God. We don't want the music they listening to to cause them lose that. What do you all think? Thanks, Peggy

I have homeschooled my 4dc their whole life. My oldest, a girl, will graduate in the spring. My second is a boy who's 16. Both of these children are very social and active in church youth group and other activities with lots of friends. My last two, twin girls who are 14, are great, loving, helpful girls. They have no friends, just each other. They don't talk to anyone at youth group, and no one talks to them. They will talk and carry on a conversation if someone talks to them, but generally they are very quiet. They really enjoy being with me, but I thought at this phase of their life they would have friends by now. Since they have been homeschooled they are together all the time. Sometime I feel that this might be a detriment to them. Has anyone else dealt with this? Peggy

It has been a very frustrating year so far. We decided to have our dds (they are twins) take pre algebra at a coop this year, since they were having attitude learning issues with me. They are very sweet helpful girls, but when we do math, one in particular turns into Mr. Hyde. She is not like this at any other time. It's like she has an on off switch. They have always had trouble with math and that is why I decided to have them take it from someone else. With my older two children I used Teaching Textbooks, which worked great. At the coop they are using Saxon. They have been doing horrible on their homework. Missing 10 is a good day. They both got D's on their first test, and the one they took today didn't look much better. One dd in particular just doesn't read the directions and is very careless about how she does each problem. How can I make her care!?! I have shed many tears of frustration. When I talk with my husband about this he is not much help. He is frustrated and says "just send them to public school" or something of the sort. I don't feel like he is very supportive or encouraging. Should we quit the class and do TT at home? Should we get a tutor? I really have no one IRL to talk to about this that understands. Peggy

My dd will be going to JUCO this fall and I would like to get her used textbooks. On her book list they give the title, ISBN#, edition and year. When I'm searching for the book do all of those things need to match or can I just used the ISBN#? I've searched under ths ISBN# and the edition matches, but not the year. I didn't know if that matter. Thanks Peggy

Reccomendations for military history study
Peggy in Ks replied to Peggy in Ks's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I've never done that before. He wants to learn about warefare of the western world. The books from Westpoint look really interesting. The book I was looking at that got this all started was Military History of the Western World by J.F.C. Fuller. Another I saw was Soldiers and Warriors: An Illustrated History. I thought he could pick one volume of the Military History, because there is several, and we could call it Military History I. What's the first step I need to take in planning a course? How do I know how much to have him do? Help! -
Last weekend we stayed in a Travel Lodge in Freeport IL my brother in law reserved rooms at for his wedding. This place was awful! It looked liked it had been closed for several years and had just reopened. It was filthy! Breakfast was cereal, little powdered doughnuts and toast. We paid $80 a night for this! The owner seemed to be pocketing the money and putting nothing back into the hotel. We've been through this before, but at a different hotel. For this price I would have expected much more. After getting home I searched on tripadvisor.com and there were all sorts of bad reviews on this hotel. I'm looking for hotels for the vacation we are taking next week. We need to stay at a Super 8, Days Inn, or Baymont Inn, because we will be using reward points. We will be staying around Nashville. I searched tripadvisor.com and it seems this hotels have very few good reviews. How much should I trust these reviews? Getting stressed, Peggy

I am starting to clean houses. I have a friend that does it and said the going rate is $20.00/hour, ie. if a house takes 3 hours bid $60. She said don't say I'll do it for $20.00/hour just set a price based on that. A lady from my church would like me to clean her house. Another lady from our church cleaned her house about 1 1/2 years ago and said it took her about 5 hours to clean the house. Should I charge her $100 since it takes 5 hours to clean it? It seems like a lot of money to me because right now I'm working 15 hour/wk and getting $8.00/hour. Thanks Peggy

My dds will be in 7th grade nex year and have always had a problem with spelling. I was thinking of using Megawords with them then I saw Apples Spelling Drills. Is one better then the other or should I use both? How many of the Megawords book would they go through in a school year? I also wanted opinions on Dailey Language Reivew compared to Dailey Grams. Thanks Peggy

by Mickey Flodin. She is really enjoying it. I like how the signs are catagorized and there are quizzes at the end of each chapter. HTH Peggy
