  1. take a look at this list:

    http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/453617-homeschool-high-school-chemistry/

     

    find some of interest and post back here with any questions.

     

    I hope you find the correct fit.

     

    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.

  2. Was it Earthlings you watched by any chance?  

     

    I'm always curious which doc pushes people over. 

     

    We have some activists here who set up ipads and tv screens and offer people vegan cupcakes to watch 5 minutes... Street level activism - similar to the 10 billion lives tour which pays college students a buck if they watch a short movie about the animal products industry. 

     

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

  3. It's finally time I get to be happy I was not generously endowed in that area. Speed bumps don't sag. 😆

     

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

  4. Growing longer won't help, because then I'll just have a larger bun. I've been wearing my hair in a messy bun since I think I was 14? Now that I'm older it's almost always in a bun. It does not look good. I'd like to look a little more put together. I don't mind going to get haircut More often, I already get my nails done once a month and that is my me time. More me time sounds good. I don't know, maybe this is a midlife crisis thing? I just kind of feel like Everywoman should cut their hair short once in their life? I've never done it because I thought my face was too fat. After having the weight-loss surgery my face isn't fat-anymore. So I feel like it is going to look good, now is the time. And I've just been kind of blah lately and it seems like a way to change something without a lot of money or effort. Cheaper than redoing all the furniture in the living room or something, Lol.

     

    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.

  5. 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...

  6. Do they make a push-up version that pushes up from the hips yet?

     

    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:

  7. Nothing. He avoids doctors at all cost. He doesn't see the need.  If it was chronic maybe he would.  He actually seems fine most of the time now.  He is just simply not attracted to her and not interested in a physical relationship. It is like he has distanced himself from her emotionally and even he doesn't understand why.  

     

    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.
