  1. A friend recently used Ross windows $189/window installed , double hung, tilt in with screens. So far they are very happy with them.
  2. Good things about having a colonoscopy : Propofol Removal of potentially cancerous polyps Bad things: The prep is not fun, stay home close to the bathroom
  3. I work 12 hour shifts, 3 days in a row as a hospital nurse and only wear Altra Torin. They are completely flat (no heel) good arch support and so cushiony.
  4. I don't think NC offers the Teaching Fellows any more. It was for $6,500/year for four years (not a full ride) to be paid back by forgiveness of $6,500/year of teaching.
  5. Yes, I am aware that is currently doesn't work that way, hence the mess we have created with the current tax system. I think we need to simplify the tax code to a flat tax for all regardless of age, income, number of children etc.. Everyone uses the services provided. Everyone needs to contribute their share, which I believe should be a flat percentage (we'll say 10%) of their income without any exceptions. We could then eliminate, or at least drastically reduce the size, of the IRS and save bunches of money. Everyone would then have skin in the game and this give me attitude of having the government give all sorts of goodies might decrease too when they realize they are paying for those goodies and the percentages might need to increase to fund expected/desired new goodies. Also a $90,000 income is a healthy income and should be required to be taxed under the current system.
  6. Everyone uses the services (roads etc...) provided by the collection of taxes and should therefore have skin in the game. I am all in favor of a flat tax (with absolutely no loopholes for anyone for any reason) for all adults with any income.
  7. Praying for complete healing for your dh.
  8. My trouble is between L-4 and L-5 also. Here is what has worked for me. Pulsing heat then ice every twenty minutes. 800mg ibuprofen around the clock even after the pain goes away for at least a couple extra days. Back pain exercises (you can google for these). When you are able to exercise you should begin to work your core. Getting your abs stronger helps support your back. I hope you find some relief soon.
  9. I'm pretty sure that my dh has had a physical exam along with a drug screen as part of the hiring process. It was more of a mini physical done at an Occupational Health doctor's office.
  10. Molly, thank you for letting us know what your prayer needs are. I am honored to pray for you each day and it helps to know exactly what your needs/concerns are. :grouphug:
  11. Maybe a set of Picturesque Tale of Progress. They are out of print but can be found on ebay or homeschool used book boards.
  12. Congratulations, Heather!!!! I am so happy for you. God is good girl! God is good!
