Does anyone here have knowledge of the mouthpieces that you can put in your mouth at night to stop snoring? This page has pictures of a few: http://www.putanendtosnoring.com/mouthpiece.htm As you can see, there are quite a few, and I'm not sure if one is better than another or whatever. I do have mild to moderate sleep apnea, and eventually I will probably get a c-pap, but for now I'd like to try this mouthpiece if it will work. I actually saw one on ebay that cost $149 :eek: But then I saw many others that were around $40. I'd like to try one of those. Any advice? Thanks!:D

Anyone know if Memoria Press is Catholic based? I just poked around a little on their site, but didn't find anything quickly, so I thought I'd ask here. yvonne

[ETA: I have posted this to my blog after editing it and putting it in more logical order. You are better off reading it there. :001_smile:] I have promoted several times on the board that Latin instruction in the grammar years doesn't require a program. I finally typed up a list of resources and methods: I am influenced heavily by this Memoria Press article: Four Principles of Latin Instruction In short, I think that the best use of time allotted to Latin in the K-6 years is to memorize all of the basic information that will need to be learned in a high school program (Henle, Wh -
I am having a very hard time today. It's day 2, and I feel awful. This is the second month in a row of this and I will be having an ultrasound when it's over this time. But do you know what I just did? And I'm sitting here crying because I feel like such a moron. I put on a pot of coffee, measured it out, poured in the water, everything. Then I sat back down. I smelled the coffee and started thinking about drinking it. Then my son walked in and said "Mom, is this supposed to be like this?" He was pointing at the empty coffee pot sitting on the counter, surrounded by coffee. Yes, -
My son's girlfriend is coming to stay a few days at our house over New Year's and I would like to give her a small gift. I have not met her yet...my son is in college and he met her there. Any suggestions? I thought about making her a scarf or something...I don't want to go overboard or too personal. To tell the truth, I really don't know much about her yet. Also, I don't want to spend very much money. Besides making a scarf, any suggestions? Thanks! jak -
Just read the serving food to your husband thread and the 1950's wife statement intrigued me! I have to say that I think I am a bit of a 1950's wife - or at least I try to be!! I really do take pride in serving my husband in all the ways that I can - making things easy for him, cooking food that he likes, not stressing him out when he gets home from work etc etc. He helps me out with my stuff as well, and there is lots of give and take, but in our house he is the leader and he is treated and respected as such. Part of my satisfaction as a wife comes from looking after my husband well. -
This is the mnemonic that my half-sister's gifted public school is using to teach her long division (4th grade). It stands for "divide, multiply, subtract, carrydown". Does she understand the why's and how's. Of long division? Er...no. But she does do page after page of division problems to "cement" this mnemonic in her head. My son has been studying long division over the last week or so, and we've spent a lot of time learning WHY exactly one subtracts, why exactly one "drops down"....so that if he does forget,he can really think about what to do next. It's slow going but I really feel

As an election season approaches...I feel the need to give y'all some guidelines. This board is not for the discussion of politics. There are other places to do that. Yes, we do say that this board is for "hanging out and chatting." That's because parents who teach their kids sometimes just need to...chat. Not about school, just about life. Having said that... I don't want to see political threads here that have nothing to do with home schooling. It was the last presidential election that forced us to ban political avatars, slogans, and partisan discussions. I'm already seei

I have to admit I like italic handwriting. Now it turns out my ds wants something loopy and threw a "eeww" when I showed him some italic writing. I went back to my pc and looking at this jpeg he yelled "Yes!". Can someone tell me which font is this? It cannot be ZB because it has a "sensible" upper case G and Q :D Help? Anybody?

Have to make some very tough decisions this week about what to do about it.

... or any other Roman Catholic that would like to jump in :) This is a sensitive topic and I truly mean no offense. But, it's something I've wondered about for awhile. My understanding of the Roman Catholic church is that the hierarchy is very important. (Anyone in the know, please feel free to expand on the function of the priests/archbishops, etc. for me, as I'm not well-versed in RC'ism) So... to my question. Because of the scandals of the last decade or so (higher ups covering up s-abuse by clergy) how are you able to feel comfortable being "under" an authority that would -
Ok...I think we survived. The jury is still out on a couple of the family members, but others of us are moving in the right direction. I am absolutely exhausted. We have never been sicker in our lives. Between the five of us we have propably lost 20 pounds. So now I am completely paranoid in my home. How will I ever get my house disinfected? It is a disaster and I don't know where to start. I've got laundry going. Do I need to throw away things like stuffed animals and throw pillows? I am considering throwing away all pillows or is it enough just to wash pillow cases? Walk me -
We are just working through lesson 1, but I LOVE it! I seems to make sure you KNOW your work before you move on!!

OK, this is part of the ongoing "shirts with holes in the belly area" scientific Hive investigation. Background: Some people get little holes in their shirts, in the belly area. Often one person in a household gets them and another doesn't. This is a new-ish phenomenon; no one got these holes years ago. Through careful research (a.k.a. surveying the Hive), we've ruled out: ~ Moths or other bugs, because 1) the holes are only in one spot, and 2) we are all amazing housekeepers ;) ~ Top loaders vs. front loaders, because folks with both kinds get the holes ~ Granite vs. other countert -
But yesterday I went driving with a bb gun. A neighbor a couple of miles down has two big dogs that have started attacking my ponies when I drive by. Friday they were trying to bite his face and legs. I had to get off and try to beat them away while holding a frightened pony. Big GSH pointer and a boxer type. When they charged me yesterday I stopped Patches and took aim and let loose. The older dog turned and ran when he saw the gun, he's obviously been shot before, the younger one stopped and tried to figure things out. I didn't want to hit either one, just shot a warning and it wo

I'm reading a very interesting book called NurtureShock by Po Bronson. Some of the chapter titles/topics: the inverse power of praise, the effects of less sleep on children, talking to kids about race, why kids lie, and other child development topics. Here's a portion about the surprising effects of some kinds of educational tv shows: "Relational aggression, at the preschool age, involved saying things like, "You can't play with us," or just ignoring a child who wanted to play, and withdrawing friendship or telling lies about another child--all of which attack a relationship at its cor -
The kind where no matter how much you try, nothing gets done. Madelynn has insisted on being held or nursed nonstop today making it impossible to do anything that I can't do on the couch with a nursing pillow and infant on my lap. I've managed to: Do my Bible study. Load my kids' notebooks. Teach 1 math lesson. Tell the kids to do logic, math, and penmanship. Put away 1/4 of a load of laundry. Wash 1/2 a sink of dishes. Put away 1/2 a sink of dishes. Go to the local, small, family-owned hardware store for a part Dh needs. Eat a cold bbq rib. Made a small diaper cake, crocheti

when I hit my head and caused my concussion two weeks ago, I also caused the "jelly" in my eye to collapse. This is causing me to see a constant blinking light, like a headlight, in the left corner of my vision field in my right eye. I notice it mostly in dimly lit rooms and at night. My question is this. Does anyone have experience with this? Does the jelly repair itself? I know this can cause my retina to detach and have been looking out for those symptoms. I've been surfing the web but can't determine if this is something that will heal. The eye dr will see me again in a month.

I was just reading an article about more men choosing not to wear their wedding rings and I was just curious as to if you wear a wedding ring and if your spouse wears a wedding ring.

A new study has just been released. http://vitals.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/09/11061081-obese-moms-may-be-more-likely-to-have-autistic-child-study-suggests?lite I think a lot more research is needed, but I can see how diabetes and high blood pressure could cause problems for a fetus. I would be interested to see if normal weight mothers who are diabetic (Type 1) have a higher incidence of autistic children, or if this only seems to be happening with Type 2 diabetes. I hope someone is willing to do extensive research in this area, because I think that possibly some cases of autism co -
I love the concept! I'm just curious which other colleges take such an approach? -
Dd13 has an assignment to write about a movie or book that had a weak plot. Even DH and I are stumped. We can't think of anything. Really. I told her we're probably looking for a storyline that has boring characters and/or a boring conflict and/or an ending that didn't satisfy the conflict. Do you know of any? My guess is that we haven't read or seen anything that might be suggested. :tongue_smilie:

DH is trying to teach DD7 now. He spent about an hour with her on Monday night and he's going to spend another hour tonight. He said that her balance is just so-so, but that it got a bit better as they went on. She's just not the most graceful child LOL. Any other late bike riders? Anything that really worked for your late rider? I looked on Amazon and I think I'm going to purchase one of those Strider balance bikes for DD4 to ride, and we'll be able to pass it down to our new baby one day as well. I think that if they could start out balancing, then learning to ride would be a breeze. -

I can't think of how to set a poll up for this, but I am curious to see answers. Does your DH play video games? If so, how much? And if you don't mind sharing, how old is he? My husband has zero interest in video games. Several times he has expressed surprise that anyone in his 30s or 40s would be playing video games. I am a little younger than DH (seven years younger) but also went to college before the age when kids brought video games to college. I don't remember ever seeing anyone play a video game when I was in college (1985 - 1989). So DH and I just grew up before that was
