opinions on IXL math the website
morningxmorning replied to Bang!Zoom!'s topic in Parents' Forum Afterschooling Board
It's straight drill practice, no teaching though the site will give an explanation if your child answers a question wrong. One thing I really don't like about it is that it will punish the student (by adding more questions) when he or she answers incorrectly. It really bugged my 6 y.o. to be 99% done with a problem set, answer something incorrectly, and get pushed back down to 80% done. I still have a subscription that we haven't used for months and when it runs out, I don't plan on subscribing again. -
I don't know what to think after last night. I've been so mad at Andrea this season (well every season actually) but the look of happiness on her face when she reached the prison made me forgive her and then BOOM. There's a horrible scene that happens in the comics that I thought might not happen on the show but now I think it's on again and I'm scared to watch the last two episodes.

It's just hair. -

Try it. If you don't like it you can always dye it back. Who cares what other people think? -
Do you have an e-reader? If you still have an active library card from The States, you might be able to check out e-books online.

We stay at The Inn at the Market or The Pan Pacific when we spend the night in the city. http://www.innatthemarket.com/ http://www2.panpacific.com/en/Seattle/Overview.html Prices vary but they are both really nice. The Inn is in Pike Place Market and Pan Pacific is right above Whole Foods.

Last time we moved locally, there were 3 guys and they worked for about 6 hours. They took longer than expected but they stuck to the original low estimate and were extremely professional. I think we tipped $60. When we moved internationally several years back, the (2) movers took two days to pack our things and were the best movers I'd ever seen. They even wrapped the mattresses and couches so they wouldn't get dirty. The company paid for the move but we tipped $100.

That's never happened to me either. It took 2 minutes to sign up and we get back $100 - $200 per year.

Convince me why I need a Vitamix or Blendtec?
morningxmorning replied to Quiver0f10's topic in The Chat Board
I don't have any experience with Vitamix but I love my Blendtec. I use it for soups and juicing mostly but it gets used almost everyday. -
We're the same. I'm a little Suze Orman obsessed when it comes to our emergency saving.

Is this common pricing practices for professional photographers?
morningxmorning replied to lynn's topic in The Chat Board
If her work is good, go for it. I'm embarrassed to share how much I paid for the last set of professional photos I had taken of my son. -
Eyeglasses - why are they so expensive?
morningxmorning replied to Abbeygurl4's topic in The Chat Board
WarbyParker.com Excellent customer service and their glasses are stylish and cheap (about $99-140 a pair including lenses.) They will send you 5 pair at a time to try on at home and shipping is free both ways. -
Hmm, is yours the first or second generation Fire? Amazon just launched an app called "Freetime" that allows to to limit what your kids can use and read on the Kindle. They can't get out of the app without a password even if they turn the Kindle off. It works on 2nd generation and newer models only. For a extra monthly fee it also gives you access to a library kid's apps, books and videos and you can set it up to limit the amount of time the kid can spend using different things (mine is set to unlimited reading time but only 30 minutes for apps and videos.) Web browsing is automatically disabled on "Freetime" but I think there is a Khan Academy app for Android that you might be able to add into the list of apps that she could use on Freetime. I just started the free trial and so far I love it. My 3 year old had a talent for doing factory resets on my Kindle and now he can't do it anymore. Small victory!

I loved the first two seasons but S3 is dreadful.
