oops, you are right. I didn't notice that. It is 12 packs of pencils (10 in a pack). The paper has to come form the schools supplier, so I have no control over those prices. I thought it was interesting that I can buy any scientific calculator I want (ranging from $15 to almost $100) but I have to buy super expensive…

I agree it is not that bad. It was not for all 6 to do sports though. The little ones aren't allowed to do sports. In our schools system you have to be in junior high or wait until the summer leagues start (they are different prices and not school run)

thought about it but we are against online shopping. Not very techie and we have had problems with getting hacked before so we just don't do it.

We live 1.5 hours from town. There are no discount stores close by. These are the prices I would spend locally. If I were to drive into town I could spend less. certain thing (paper products) have to be bought from the school by their supplier so that they are the same for everyone. As for glue sticks for 9th graders, I…

Like I said, not too bad for a large family. Of course that does not include everything and the extra curricular fee is good for only one event if they wanted to do, say football and baseball, we would have to pay the fee twice for each person. That also did not include band fees or food. I've heard hockey is very…

sounding better and better all the time!!

heck, I'll movet o England for that! I'm sure my husband wouldn't mind watching the kids while I'm gone! LOL :laugh:

You are definitely being taken for a ride with this deal. I have 8 kids of my own and have done daycare for several years. I had a couple that were pulling stuff similar to what you describe and I told them they either started paying over-time or they needed to find another daycare. They were both military (so was my hubby…

I'm thinking school shopping alone burnt 7000 calories!! LOL

so this thread got me to wondering what public school would cost us. For my 9th grader: 12 - #2 Pencils ($10) 2 - Glue Sticks ($2) 1 - White Glue ($3) 1 - Pink Eraser ($1) 1 - White Eraser ($1) 1 - Pkg. Washable Felt Markers ($8) 1 - sharpies Black ($4) 1 - Pair Scissors ($1) 1 - Pencil Case ($2) 10 - Pocket Folders ($10)…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: they really should put that on the list!!! :drinker:

that's a good definition as well!

^excellent!

That makes sense. Do they try to organize kids with similar allergies into the same classrooms? I don't remember allergies being as big a deal when I was in school as their are now. I know a lot of my friends have problems with their schools because of allergy issues.

okay, I see. just wondering.

did you lol because you think a few hundred kids is a small school? We had a graduating class of 24.

I find it strange with all the food allergies that anyone is allowed to give out food in schools. My friends have problems sending peanut butter sandwiches in the kids lunches because of nut allergies that other kids have in the same school. I know the schools out here are charging for bus services. My friend pays $300 PER…

all I can say is......I'm glad I homeschool and don't have to deal with this stuff!

considering this woman is almost 60 but looks like she is in her late 40's/early 50's I think she can wear sleeveless just fine. She looks great. Helen Miren, Glen Close, Demi Moore are all older women and they wear sleeveless outfits and rock them. I don't buy into your women of a certain age statement.

I like number 4 or 5. I don't care for the neckline on number 1.

BOOOOOOO! Ran out of the stuff I need for cycle 1 and we have no money until the 1st. I will have to do better planning and start over in September!

I love the incline!!! We are about an hour/ hour and a half from the Springs now but we lived there for 13 years. We like the hike to St. Peters Dome on Gold Camp Road (head up towards the zoo).

has anyone else been extra gassy? I've been making the dog even get up and leave. That is not good!! LOL :embarassed:

make sure you are drinking lots of water as well as your green tea. It will help.
