There are several that I think might work for you. The Intensity Tank Bra is listed as maximum support, intense exercise, high impact bounce control. I doubt anything would move with that!

ellie-mae--scanning posts again... I thought you said that AS insisted that you have Caleb. Um, uh, ??? Then I re-read and saw that you said Cable...

I wanted to introduce myself, since it's very hard to come to a board where everybody already knows each other well, but yet I'd love to fit in.

My name is Julie, I'm 40, we have 4 children, ages 16, 12, 4 and the baby will be one next Friday!
I home school our 4 year old, and will homeschool the baby when it's time.

We live in Florida, but do not tolerate the heat at all. Hubby is from NY, I'm from PA. We hope very soon to get back to the mountains to live!

Every day I thank God for the opportunity to home school, to read his word, to learn from it, and although we are poor, I have to focus on the blessing that it is to stay home with my children and to pass on our love for Christ to our kids.

Thanks for having me on your forum!

We all started here the same as you just did. Some of us just started out a long time ago

I have 6 children- 18g, 16g, 14b, 12b, 10b, & 9b. We graduated the 18yo this past May and only managed to have both the 10 & 9yo reading last year as well. Teaching reading was my big challenge. I was a natural reader and child #1 was too so when #2 came round to reading I got a nasty shock. 6 kids. I taught all but #4 how to read. All of the 5 learned a differently.

I can relate to the Florida sentiments. I was born down in Key West and we lived there with my folks for a short time in Pensacola while my Honey went to school in Dothan Ala. We are in NC now and I love the place God has planted us and can really think of no where else I'd rather be than our 3 acres we call "Point B".

We classify ourselves as eclectic-relaxed-schoolers, meaning that we are unschoolers that are not totally against using a curriculum if we fell it is needed.(usually MATH)

Glad you stopped in! Keep posting- ask questions- this thread is more or less a no holds barred thread. *wink* just post a line at the top if the post contains something a fella might blush over, we are all women but this is not a womens only folder AND sometimes Ellie reads out loud to her honey and embarassed herself as well as ME others... *wink*

Ok, so I went to my unemployment meeting and she assigned me a job to apply to, after reading all the qualifications and deciding I was qualified. So I come home and I email my resume and not ten minutes later I get a response saying, 'Thank you for applying with us but after carefully considering your resume, we have decided you do not meet the minimum qualifications for this job'. Carefully considered? It was a TWO PAGE resume! You didn't have time to read it all!

Nathan is working this morning after all. I stopped by on my way and found him on the kitchen floor doing something to small pieces of wood.

LOL! Sarah, that is so cute. We didn't used to have the TV connected to anything but VCR/DVD player. When we moved here AS insisted on having Cable so we do. The problem has been that it is like a camel getting into the tent. That camel has really made itself at home here and even makes itself the center of attention. Nothing like trying to scooch around a smelly camel that spits. Sure it has it's cute moments, but... Anyway, the camel has been successfully moved into AS room with only a little nose in our room now. I am happy.

...we have only one tv for good reason!!!!! It comes on usually under only certain circumstances.....
1...the kids watching something school related (PBS, Discovery, History channel, videos, etc)
2...I am sick/not feeling well and the kids get to watch dvd's (cause it's hard to deal with them when I am sick/headache (from BP), so fighting about not watching anything is just not going to happen!!)
3...in the evenings if their rooms are clean when Paul comes in then he plays the V-Tech game system with them
4...after the kids and Paul are in bed for the night I watch tv...cause it gets pretty boring sitting there with only Justice and no computer (it's in the boys room still...need to get the door put in going into the ofice then we can have the internet moved to over there, but until that happens it's in the boys room).

Status: online 		We had only one small TV for years as well (not hooked up to outside reception). When we started BJU HomeSat we picked up a couple of extras to help with hsing... and then As also had a TV of her own. The computers have proven much easier than TVs for doing school. We are slowly letting our TVs die out. We will be replacing the main one in the living room,but that it is it right now. We will leave the one in our room for football and basket ball games... and Monk... when I have time to watch.

I have to even wean myself off the TV. The story time at bed time was a big part of it. That was the time when I would watch the most. I don't even miss it at that time any more.

Howdy to Mom24! Keep posting and it won't be long before we can't imagine NOT having you here.

Status: online 		Hi Julie! I'm Cindy, mom to 5 kiddos 22, 19, 16, 14 & 11 who have always been homeschooled. You'll get to know us before long. A lot of us know each other in real life, but most of us didn't when we first started posting.

Someone online told Ash that online friends aren't real friends. Ash said yeah, tell that to Jennifer. We're thinkin' she's about as real as it gets.

Does anyone know of a poison certified nurse who wants to work in Cleveland? We've either gotta find a few more people or clone ourselves. We picked up 11 more counties 5 days ago, and the call volume has at least doubled. With creepy crud season on its way, this is not gonna be fun.

Awwww

Of course, it's hard not to be friends with someone who organizes your kitchen! (for newcomers...I was the organize-ee, not the organize-er)

I totally miss Cynthia, so those of you who see her, tell her I said hi. I really wish I could've gone in her suitcase, too!

Nate left for work at 1:59 and came back at 2:08 to use the bathroom, lol. I said, you didn't think about that ten minutes ago? I hope they have the bathroom in down the street soon. Nate said the tile guy is here today doing the shower and floor in there.

It was the least she could do. (Also for newcomers . . . Jennifer took my daughter in for a month when she literally would have been living on the streets otherwise, and except for one afternoon on our way out there we only knew each other on Crosswalk.)

I went outside to move my car and it is HOT out there. I enjoyed it, since most of the time the air conditioning in this office is set at frostbite. It was so tempting to just keep going . . . sigh.

I just had to fill out a part-time participation form for the school. So that Nate can blay bball. She said they would get back to me when they decided. Um...it's the law. You have to let him play. And besides that, after all the tax money they got for myself and my five siblings, plus my dad's entire family, AND my grandmother taught for them for 30 years...um, hello?

I didn't say any of that, though. I figured I would let them pretend they were being magnanimous.

This Sunday's comparative religions lesson is on the Baha'i faith. I went to the library. They had ONE book. I had a chat with one of the librarians...I'm like, first Carthage, and now one of the fastest growing religious movements? You people are letting me down!

Not at this point. We are putting up 10+ gallons of water, will fill the two tubs if it looks like it is gonna hit us square. We got the staples that one needs if the power goes out. My sister and her husband are an hour west of us so if the power is out more than 2 days we will go up and use their apartment while they work. They are house parents at a residential care facility and sleep in house during their shift so the apt is empty right now.

it will have been over land through Ga and SC before it gets to us so hopefully that will have weakened it a good bit. Ellie has been here so she knows the protected hollow we are in. The winds normally sweep right across the place. It is neat to watch the trees at the top of the hills on the 3 sides of us do the hula and the trees in the bottom barely swaying. The lil creek has been dry more than running the last 2 years and even during the last "big" one never made it out of the bottom.

**\ ....................< 255above sea level
.....\.......*** /***<230 above sea level
.......\.......H/< House 180 above seal level
.........\ __/<170 bottom/creek above sea level

We will park the cars at the top of the hill- they are the closest to the tree line and I'd not want them squished. We only have 2 trees that could even come close to the house. The only thing out there that might not be happy about tropical storm winds is the pop up camper that we cannot put down. Jerry could but he'd have to cut the cables. He just sighed when i mentioned it and said it was one of those things we just gotta give to God and if something does happen to it there is always the home owners ins. *shrug*

Oh, that's what Ash was doing there. I thought your families had known each other for ages and ages IRL.

So could a crack-smoking Wiccan fashionista with a rich family and a rich gay ex-husband exist in San Francisco? Sure, why not. Would such a person want to home school?

Stranger things have happened.

I have found contradictions in her posts, but more importantly, she joined this forum prior to the homeschooling thing, and I can't figure out why she is hanging here. But her stories about her sister have grown wilder and wilder and she seems to be wacky where she's concerned.

ETA--I said 'she' but the poster may actually be male.
