[fruit flies...help!]

I tried this and it's working. : )

[fruit flies...help!]

Does anyone have remedies for ridding the house of fruit flies? I should have sprayed while they were swarming a forgotten pear in the bottom of our fruit basket, but I threw out the pear and the flies dispersed into almost every room in the house! DH sprayed RAID, which made everything slippery or sticky and they're still readily found. I'm afraid they're multiplying.

Thanks.

[Algebra course for son (non-mathy mom) help!]

HEEELLLPPP! I need a course that will do it ALL! TT didn't do it last year for Pre-Algebra - we needed a tutor. So expensive! I am NO help- probably a hindrance to his learning. Suggestions PLEASE!

[Which writing program do you LOVE for Jr/Sr High?]

What do you LOVE about it?

[Simplified Biology?? (creation)]

Any ideas on making Jr/Sr High biology concepts understandable for a 15 y/o who has serious trouble with abstract concepts? I like Kingfisher but it's waaayyy too evolution centered. Apologia & BJU too advanced!

[Favorite how-to-draw books]

:iagree:ME TOO!

[Copywork - how perfect should it be?]

and use it as an example of what I expect. I hang it near where he works and he is to do his copywork at least to that standard.

[What is your favorite spelling program?]

Leaves us with plenty of time to do other things. Getting oriented is a one time investment. It places students right where they need to be...even if they go backwards during the summer vacation. It's one book for the whole family through highschool!

[Can Winning With Writing REALLY be used ith highschoolers?]

[What do you know about Prednazone? Neuronin? Pain relief? Helllppp!]

I'm on a 15 day protocol just to relieve tormenting throbbing, burning pain. I usually take Neurontin but it's not touching the pain. Also, are there alternatives that actually work? Anyone?

[Buy furniture at Big Lots?]

Would you consider Big Lots furniture to be a good quality? I saw a very pretty Champion Mocha Sofa today. Any experience?

[writing in third grade]

I saw it at a convention. Very user friendly. My kids were too old for it when it came out. Oh well...maybe the grandchildren.

[Key to series...]

as reinforcements or just to brush up on a certain topic. There is no lip from my kids. They're easy to use. I even did the Algebra course myself a few years back to refresh my knowledge. We are NOT a mathy family!

Recommend!

[Organizing thoughts (resources needed)]

My 15 y/o Aspie cannot organize his thoughts well enough to tell stories that make sense. I am his "interpreter" in many instances, inserting additional details, reminding him to give background info (i.e. when, where, who was there). Over the years I've tried many different ways to help him. The most successful has been to take a story (event in his life he'd like to tell) and draw pictures, numbering them in the correct order of how they occurred, then practice telling the story step by step. THIS IS A LOT OF WORK! Is there some sort of "curriculum" that can help me w/ this? I'm tuckered out!
