Buc-ee's chopped brisket sandwiches are amazing! My nearest Buc-ee's is 3 hours away and I seriously consider the drive.

My cat is allergic to all plastic, and she had a plastic-y rope wrapped around part of her cat tree where she liked to rub her cheek. It got swollen and ugly and took us awhile to figure out why. Plastic. She loves it and is so allergic.

((hugs)) Weddings are hard. Vent away. I do want to say that they are young, and there's a lot they don't know yet. Your ds may have turned over everything to his fiance, and is letting her make all the plans. She may not think to invite all the people you would like invited, and she may not be aware enough to know that she should ask. So much is youth and also previous wedding experience or lack thereof, quite honestly. You are entitled to your feelings, and I would be hurt, too, but I don't think it's intended to be hurtful. Ignorance and differences in knowledge and differences in family culture can explain a lot of it. ((hugs again))

If she did well with PAC Online, I would continue to do that. The old saying if it ain't broke...

My techy brother recommended that my college-bound dd get a Dell XPS 13. So she did. Don't know if that helps you, but I am sure it could run Office and I would imagine Quickbooks. It's very lightweight.

Our vet said that kittens in the same litter can have multiple dads. So...

Talk to your husband and then quit. You've been wanting to anyway. This is your loudest alarm bell yet. Quit. Think of how relieved you will feel.

Yes. I did World History: Ancient, 1.0 credits, grade A. I also did World History: Medieval, .5 credits, grade A.

My dd was a reluctant (and lefty) writer. I would start with Writing With Ease 1, and also do Handwriting without Tears. Get the little chalkboard and such that go with it. It's great for lefties!

No. A is 90-100. That's a 4. Etc.

Well, I know someone whose son stopped attending class because the 20-30 minute commute was too much. So I vote dorms.

A year of world history and a semester of economics is generally what is done, in addition to what you have. We did a year of Ancient World History, a semester of Medieval World History, a year of Modern World History, a year of U.S. History, a year of World Geography, a semester of Government, and a semester of Economics. YMMV

Okay, I don't know anything about this, but I googled and found this: (no idea if it's a good option) https://medtransportcenter.com/the-best-way-to-transport-an-elderly-person-long-distance/

Here's what I would do: Pre-Algebra (or Intro to Algebra), 1.0 credit, Grade: A U.S. History, 1.0 credit, Grade: A English 9 or English I, 1.0 credit, Grade: A American Sign Language, 1.0 credit, Grade: A Health, .5 credit, Grade: A I don't know about the science.

Not necessarily before 18, but around then: Find a new doctor (pediatrician may let them stay through high school graduation if you're lucky), Find new dentist if you have been using a pediatric dentist. Teach how to fill out forms for all those medical and dental places (or sit by dc and make dc do it with you right there).

My dd did MUS in high school through PreCal. In college for nursing, she is required to take Statistics, which she had to place into by getting a certain score (540?) on her SATs in the math section. She had gotten through all of Algebra 2 before taking the SAT the first time and not getting the minimum score, so then we started PreCal and had to jump ahead to certain chapters plus do some Kahn Academy before taking it the next time and achieving a 570. She is now eligible for Statistics at her college. How well she would do in that, I don't know. She hasn't taken it yet. I did buy some statistics workbooks and do a semester of home-grown Statistics and Probability with her. HTH!

Brita works great for us, and we are also in Texas, even further south than Slache. Just wanted to let others out there know. Don't blame the whole state. Blame her city. 🙂 I am sorry your water is so bad. I wish I had a solution for you. I think SA has soft water, doesn't it? Maybe others with soft water can chime in.

If you don't mind a Catholic resource, Seton Books has English 7 which is a straight-forward grammar workbook. I really liked those and wish I had discovered them sooner.

Age. Quite honestly. Second half of seventh grade, a switch flipped.

An owl statue or picture? Fake owls are commonly used around here as bird deterrants.

Lakeshore Learning has tons of great manipulatives for those concepts. We used them even in high school geometry as refreshers.
