I got a Zojirushi bread machine for Christmas so I am looking at their rice cooker, but I don't think my husband is willing to spend that much money on a rice cooker right now. He is one of the non rice eaters in the family. I saw a Zojirushi rice cooker at Costco, but it was a different model. I need to see what the differences are. It was more affordable. Janet

After reading several threads on here about rice cookers I have decided that our family needs one. :) I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for one. I would prefer to spend less that $50. We are a family of four with only two of us likely to eat rice most days. I don't know what size would be best for us. Any thoughts? Janet

I so wish I could do this, but I don't know anything about gardening, and I don't have any space for gardening. (small suburban lot.) Sounds like fun though. Janet

My husband and I have had 6 dogs in our married life. All of the females except one (she is still a puppy and doesn't have a preference yet) have strongly attached to him. We have had two males and they both strongly attached to me. The males that we have had tend to be calmer and more easy going, but I don't know if that is because they are males or more due to the fact that we got them as puppies and the females we adopted when they were around 2 and we were not sure about their life before we got them.

This looks great. I am going to give this a try this month. Janet

This is the paper trimmer that I have on my wish list. I don't know how well it works since I don't have it yet. Janet

My son is very excited about his kindle. He would like to have some books loaded on his kindle. Does anyone have any books that they recommend for an 8 year old boy. He is still struggling with reading so something that I can read to him would be fine, just something an active young boy would like. Janet

Me too. I was looking forward to seeing a sample. Janet

Several of you have mentioned supplements. What types of supplements are you using? Janet

We are huge CLE math fans here as well. I have tried so many different math programs. I love Singapore, and I wish my oldest liked it. She prefers CLE math over all of the ones we have tried. I am going to stick with what works for her. Janet

I have been wondering about this as well. I love the looks of Truthquest and I think it might be a really good fit for my oldest. I wish that I could tell how many books I would be able to find in kindle format. Janet

I like this idea. Do you require anything other than reading whole books? Narrations? (written or oral) Janet

My 11 year old would love this. Janet

Voted.

:iagree: Janet

If they used over 10 images then I don't see how that fits with the copyright rule. That rule is clear. I am not sure what to make of the other part. I can't figure out exactly what that means. Does it mean you can't sell the images in your own clip art book (print or electronically) or does it mean you can't sell anything using the images at all? I am not sure, but either way if they used more than 10 they didn't follow the rules. Janet

Here is information from Dover's site about their clip art CDs. http://www.doverpublications.com/ca/info.html Janet

That is great news. I have just been too busy to compare them. Janet

I would love to see a comparison between the three. I know two of them are new, and no one will have personal experience with them. I just haven't had time to compare scope and sequence charts yet. I am leaning towards either Essentials in Writing or Winning with Writing for my 6th grader next year. Janet
