Thanks. It looks like he will need Algebra 2 prior to taking any Advanced Chemistry course. He will have completed only Algebra 1 before next year. So, now I'm looking for the most rigorous regular Chemistry course; also, I prefer secular materials.

It will be the first.

What do you recommend? Thanks!

This is a poundcake, but you could divide the batter and place it in muffin tins. It tastes amazing! http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/pumpkin_poundcake.html

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will look into them.

Do you all have a favorite? I'm looking for Greek or Roman or a combination of the two. Thanks.

My husband has been helping to make sure there aren't too many Twix in the candy dish.

My teens and I went to see it. We enjoyed it. It was creepy while watching it, but none of us lost any sleep afterward.

Prayers.

I've had my pixie for three years, and I'll occasionally have a dream that my hair is long again. But I love my short hair way too much to ever go back to wearing it long! :)

Earthlings is what sealed the deal for me. I became vegan about 30 minutes into watching it.

I second Minimalist Baker. :drool5: I also like these recipes: https://www.peta.org/living/food/vegan-keto-tips-recipes/ Oh, and my favorite quick-prep meal is Gardein crabless cakes (soooo good) and a green salad with vegan dressing.

Yes!!! You look amazing. That is such a great cut for you. Welcome to the pixie club! :hurray:

That's what I keep telling my dd16. She's constantly complaining about her flat chest and looking at mine, wondering what happened?!?!

I like the first pic you're thinking of getting, the black & white one. I can't wait to see it!

Yes, girl, yes! Get that pixie. I got mine years ago and never looked back. I feel like I finally came into my own when I chopped off my hair. I have so much more confidence now. That won't be true for everyone, but it has been for me. You never know until you try.

My high school American history teacher, Coach Massey, and my high school English & Literature teacher, Mrs. Garris, were my favorite teachers. They both ignited a love in me for the subjects they taught. I could discuss history or elements of literature for hours on end if someone would discuss them with me. My homeschooled teens know this all too well! I still get excited about history projects and literature activities and papers. In fact, I'm sure that Mrs. Garris was a huge influence on my decision to become a writer. I wish I could tell her now, but she passed away with cancer several years ago. I can still hear her teaching brilliant lessons on Julius Caesar and Oedipus Rex...

Here's a great list: http://youqueen.com/short-haircuts-for-women/ My personal vote is for number 5, the fringed pixie, but, I'll admit, I'm partial to pixies. :)

This. I'm a 36DD, and gravity is taking its toll now that I'm 42. Also, I'm starting to spill over the top of my cups a little. I need to bra shop, but I REALLY do NOT want to go up a cup size. :glare:

Oh, the wonder! I want everything. :hurray: :drool5:

I have a pixie cut that's super easy to style. The sides and back are kept very short, but my bangs are long. I think she would look darling with a pixie! She's a precious child.

I hate the location. I really dislike the city in which we live.

I adore my large picture windows in the dining room and in the breakfast room. I'm thankful that we have a carport, especially when we're unloading groceries on rainy days. I like the size of my kitchen. I like the fact that my house is older; that means it has character. :)

As a person with depression myself, I can tell you this does not sound "fine" to me. I exhibited these behaviors prior to my diagnosis of major depressive disorder. I'm better now, but it's because I eventually had to be hospitalized in psychiatric care for a while after I came close to killing myself. While there, I got on antidepressants, started therapy, and began the journey to learning how to cope with my depression. It sounds like your BIL truly needs to seek medical help. His life and his marriage could be so much better. He doesn't have to settle. Your sister doesn't have to be stuck in a loveless marriage. I know you said he doesn't want to get help, but maybe you could encourage him or talk to your sister about encouraging him to do so. I didn't want to get help, either, and it almost cost me my life - literally. I have a passion now for reaching out to others who battle depression, and I just don't want anyone to suffer when there is help available.

So, so sad.
