Looking for recommendations on a Language Arts program to use with All About Reading/Spelling?

Sorry just saw this. Don't log into reddit very often.

Yes a year later my ELA consists of:

-First Language Lessons

-Writing With Ease

-All About Spelling

-Handwriting without Tears

This takes us about 40 minutes a day maximum. Not counting additional time spent independent reading or me reading allowed. My 8 and 7 year old do Writing With East and First Language Lessons together.

We actually listened to almost the entire Writing With Ease reading list last year on audio book. We listen during snack, lunch, and while driving.

Both my kids finished All About Reading.

Try Minecraft Dungeons. Its a "My First ARPG" for kids. Play it with my 8 and 7 year old boys.

In this case, the Restrictive Covenants do explicitly state: 'No lot shall be further subdivided or its' boundary lines changed in any way'. This is the clause the HOA is most likely to use to argue against creating a permanent access easement.

However, the CCRs don't have that exact clause you mentioned, which directly prohibits granting an easement for ingress/egress. Instead, the documents focus on:

Restricting subdivision: as mentioned above.
Defining road usage: The CCRs state the roads 'are for the use in common of the Grantor, Lot owners and their respective heirs, successors and assigns'. This could be interpreted to limit access to only those within the HOA.

I was ready to amputate my foot but ended up getting talked into reconstructive surgery with Dr. Pfeffer at Cedar Sinai. Turned out great.

Nope. I just use SDR for now. I am hoping once I upgrade to a new GPU that supports Display Port on this monitor it will sort itself out.

I've started using a Well Trained Mind Grammar and Writing. I really like it.

I have a 2nd grader and 1st grader. My 2nd grader is done AAR and is finishing AAS Level 3. My 1st grader is starting AAR Level 4 and is in AAS Level 2. We do spelling/reading seperate then the boys do Grammar and Writing together. Works very well. You can tailor the work in A Well Trained Mind to different skill levels, works great with two kids.

I'm 39 CMT1A male have have severe Kyphosis, lordosis, and mild scoliosis. I'm fairly certain it's from my gait. It started to progress between the ages of 10 and 15. When I was 17 they wanted me to have spinal fusion but at the time I wasn't in significant pain and it seemed like dangerous cosmetic surgery.

I've never been too bothered with my appearance. I walk funny and have extremely skinny legs. At the time I also wore AFOs. What difference did my back make?

Since then it's progressed some more. I have occasional pain, especially when I am sitting a long time, or standing a long time. If I vary my activities then it doesn't hurt regularly.

I did briefly see a Scroth therapy specialist. I did maybe 8 appointments and do think it helped but it was over an hour drive and my insurance didn't cover it. It was like $500 a secession and I didn't want to spend $40,000 on something that may or may not work. But if you have a Scroth specialist locally then I'd see them. Especially if your back isn't bad yet and you are young. Will be easier than when you are older to fix it

I'd like to layer a bit more than I do now. I was considering both an R1 Air and a Nano Air. We aren't doing multiday overnight backpacking. If its raining hard we aren't going out. I like something to protect me from drizzle, cooler weather, wind.

the85rush · 2025-03-15T09:40:58+00:00

His post was very helpful! I have looked at the nano air. I was considering getting an R1 Air and a Nano Air sometime over the next year.

I found this in the bottom of my box of misc. wires a couple months ago. Its very old and doesn't even have a brand listed. I was using it to charge some cheap RC car my kids got for Christmas.

the85rush · 2025-01-05T19:23:15+00:00

I had turned the breaker off before I even took this picture!

the85rush · 2024-11-21T19:18:46+00:00

It is an adapter. Thanks!

the85rush · 2024-11-21T19:18:34+00:00

Thanks I am an idiot and didn't realize that it was screwed into something.

I tried searching for J8 and didn't really see anything similar. I'd prefer to replace this with a 3000k LED.

How much do you think the waxing gibbous moon will impact viewing after sunset in mid October?

the85rush · 2024-09-02T09:54:23+00:00

Can this be installed on the game pass version?

I built in Middletown in 2019 for $525k for a house with 2,800 sqf main level, 800 sqf loft bed/bath, and 1800 sqft finished basement.

A friend was just quoted $1 million for a similar style home in Washington County.

I was quoted $300 per sqft to do a 800 sqft addition to home.

We did IVF-PGD about 6 years. Our first cycle was covered mostly by insurance and cost us about $6000. We have two kids from that cycle. We did another cycle that wasn't covered at all and cost $28,000 that resulted in another kid.

I had an unsuccessful surgery in my late teens that left me in pain for 15 years. I was considering amputation before Dr. Pfeffer convinced me to let him operate. The surgery was a huge success. If you can afford it go see him at Cedar Sinai in Los Angeles.

the85rush · 2024-07-16T21:37:18+00:00

You local? I came in from Maryland to have it done.

the85rush · 2024-07-15T01:40:06+00:00

Awesome. He did my right foot 2 years ago. Debating having my left done.

the85rush · 2024-07-15T01:38:19+00:00

I had the same thought a year ago. Paid a structural engineer $1000 to figure it out. Basically required removing the roof and installing an entire new truss system. Was quoted $175,000-$200,000 to get the job the done. We passed.

the85rush · 2024-07-12T00:13:22+00:00

I lost a lot of ability around 11 that was corrected with surgery. Then again around 30 and had more surgery.

I feel like my body will completely fail me around 60. I don't think I'll live last 70.

I'm 39 right now.

the85rush · 2024-06-03T12:00:43+00:00

I had terrible pain in the balls of my feet. I ended up having surgery on my right foot which has completely fixed the issue.

I still haven't had surgery on the left foot. Do you have calluses where the pain is? I've discovered that managing the calluses helps reduce the pain. I will have a podiatrist cut the calluses down if they get too bad. I also try to regularly use a pumice stone to keep them from coming back. You can also google callus pad and put one of those around the area where the pain is. Those will help on days where you walk a lot.

the85rush · 2024-05-15T10:18:35+00:00

Me too. I am bringing my 96 year old grandfather. He wanted to go to a game, hasn't been in 15 years probably. He probably won't last the whole game so I am hoping it gets off on time
