    Getty and Dubay Italic Handwriting Series Book G (Basic & Cursive) -- For 6th Grade and up. This is the 7th student book in the series and teaches both basic italic handwriting and cursive italic handwriting. The scale is slightly smaller than in the previous books. Teaches proper formation of the letters, proper slope and proper connection of letters in cursive. Italic handwriting is both beautiful and distinctive. Well worth the time and effort to develop. Excellent condition, no marks (We photocopied pages for practice) $ 9.00 postage paid. Getty and Dubay Italic Handwriting Series Instruction Manual, 3rd ed. -- for the teacher or an adult learner. Though directed at the classroom teacher, the book contains invaluable information for helping your student: pencil holds (yes, there's an alternate hold that corrects problem pencil grips), paper position, posture, goals for the student, and tips for special concerns--such as students with disabilities and left-handed writers. The book also contains special notes to teachers for each of the student books A-G, and special section on helping students learn to read looped cursive. At the back there is a section of ruled pages in each of the different sizes that can be photocopied for practice. I have a handful of photocopies of these that I will include with the book. Excellent condition, no marks. $9.00 postage paid. ($15 for both books, postage paid.) Payment via PayPal Shipping via Media Mail

    Be Prepared for the AP Calculus Exam, 2nd edition, by Mark Howell and Martha Montgomery A comprehensive preparation program for the AP Calculus Exams (both AB and BC). We got it based on the many positive reviews about its being thorough. It's a thick (1 inch) book, covering all the AB and BC Calculus concepts, so I recommend starting it early enough before the test to fit it into your schedule. We didn't start the book until a couple weeks before the test, and there just wasn't time for my daughter to work through and study it well. Like New condition, no marks. $12 postage paid. Payment via PayPal. Shipping via Media Mail.

    Lightning Literature & Composition - British Medieval Literature, by Michael Gaunt (from Hewitt Homeschooling Resources, now called Hewitt Learning) Recommended for upper high school. This is an excellent course in reading and responding to British literature from the Middle Ages (circa 500 - 1500 AD.) The introduction to the course includes guidance and tips on how to write a college-level paper. Then, each unit covers a different work, with focus on a literary element that is prominent in the work. The unit begins with an historical introduction to the work and why it is significant, gives guidance on what to look for as you read, and includes comprehension questions for the reading, an extensive literary lesson, and finally, writing suggestions for a paper. The appendices contain schedules for making this a semester-long or year-long course. Additional books needed for the course: Beowulf (any edition; we liked the Seamus Heaney one), Piers the Ploughman (I would probably get the Penguin Classics edition), Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (any edition), and The Canterbury Tales (the course recommends the Signet Classics edition; Rainbow Resource Center has this for a good price.) The rest of the selections are contained within the curriculum. It appears Hewitt Learning no longer carries this course, so this is a unique opportunity to get it. 😉 We enjoyed it. Very good condition, no marks. $20 postage paid. Payment via PayPal. Shipping via Media Mail.

    Lial maybe? My ds used Lial's Precalculus 3rd edition** with his online precalculus course a number of years ago. It is not graphing calculator intensive at all--you don't even need a graphing calculator, and ds's course did not use them. The text has some problems you can do on a graphing calculator, but these are optional. FWIW, my ds has never owned or used a graphing calculator! (And he has a master's in Comp Sci). He did use some graphing software in calculus at home and advanced calc courses at college, but not in precalc. **If you're interested, I do still have my Lial Precalculus text and the complete Solution Manual that goes with it, which I would be happy to sell. Both are in excellent condition. The text looks like this: https://www.amazon.com/Precalculus-plus-MML-Student-Starter/dp/032123815X/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1512095971&sr=8-6&keywords=lial+precalculus+3rd+edition

    Congratulations! She's beautiful!!! And she looks like such a sweetie. She may have more the coat of a lab, but I definitely see tons of golden retriever in her in the photos--the head and body shape, the face and eyes (that classic golden expression!), and the antics! Reminds me so much of our beloved golden retriever that we lost 2 years ago. He also left a big dog-sized hole in our lives... which I am currently filling by adoring other peoples' dogs. ;) I so agree--our sweet puppy (well, he was 6) could never be replaced, but I do hope to get another golden retriever someday. So glad to hear your new pup is filling the void already. :) Wishing you many happy years ahead with her! :)

    Thinking of you, and hoping you're feeling better today. :grouphug:

    It sure sounds like migraine to me, perhaps combined with sinus and/or stress. But honestly, given how long it's gone on and the fact that it's an unusual combination of headache symptoms, I'd go in to the doctor. Is there a nurse line in your area that you could call for advice? You could also definitely go to the ER, esp if this headache is incapacitating for you (and it sounds pretty severe). If it's migraine, the ER docs will give you a bolus of medications that will stop it. And if it's something more serious, you'd be in the right place, kwim? My dd suffers from very severe migraines (as well as sinusitis), and has been to the ER three times (once by ambulance) in the last year, while she was away at college. Her doctor here, last fall, had encouraged her to do this if she ever got a severe migraine that her meds wouldn't take care of. Then this past spring, when she graduated and moved back home, he referred her to a neurologist, who's been able to manage the migraines better. Anyway, I'd recommend you seek medical care and find out what this headache is. I hope and pray you feel better soon! :grouphug:

    Help--this is happening to me now! I can sign in, and I can pull up the list of my classifieds, but if I click one, the system immediately logs me out. And if I try to renew an ad, the system not only logs me out, I also get an error message saying something to the effect of I'm not allowed to do access this function unless I have at least one post on the forums (I have several hundred), and that I am not the owner of the ad. So effectively, I can't do anything with my classifieds. :( Is anyone else having this problem now also? Btw, I am on a chromebook, so am running Chrome.

    The tests in the College Board book are the closest to the real thing, and presented in the real format. If at all possible, it is wise to take the practice test in CB book just before taking the real one. And if your dc has not taken an SAT Subject test before, seeing the real format in the CB book is invaluable! The CB book does not prep you on the material, however. FWIW (and our experience is 10 yrs old), we did not find the Barron's Biology helpful at all. It had far too much detail that was too far afield of the actual questions that were asked on the test. For Biology, we found Princeton Review and SAT II Biology for Dummies the most helpful. This is not to say Barron's is never any good--we used Barron's for Chem and it was excellent for that test. My dc never took the World History test, so I don't know if Barron's is good for that one.

    We used the grammar portion of Abeka's Grammar and Composition series. It was thorough, painless (the kids corrected their own work using the Teacher manual) and easy to complete one book in one year spending just 15 minutes or so per day. I think you could start with either level I or level III, depending on how firm a grasp of grammar your dc has already. Each book kind of starts at the beginning with the basics (so you don't miss anything starting with a later book), but each successive book covers the earlier topics more and more briefly and goes on to present/teach more and more advanced grammar topics. Does that make sense?? So Grammar I and Grammar III will both start with the same topics, but Grammar I will spend more time on the basics, while Grammar III will move more quickly through them and cover more ground than Grammar I. If my memory is right, Grammar II and IV cover just a couple more topics beyond I and III respectively. Anyway, we liked A Beka--it didn't take a lot of time and both my kids turned into excellent "grammarians"! :) Hope this helps.

    Argh! How frustrating! I hope you get an answer soon!
