The Survival Medicine Handbook 4th edition is available. They also have a version with color pictures, instead of black and white pictures. https://store.doomandbloom.net/the-survival-medicine-handbook-the-essential-guide-for-when-help-is-not-on-the-way-fourth-edition/

Miki, I'm glad to see you back here. Annarchy, for you all.

Anytime DD uses glue, I lay down an old opened-up and flattened cereal box. When she's all done, cereal box goes in the trash. So far, it's worked. We haven't gotten into paints, though.

Yesterday's Classics is having a 30% off sale on all PRINT books for the month of October. We have quite a few of their books on the shelves here. https://yesterdaysclassics.com/books/

Jeepers, for any future painting, look at no-VOC or low-VOC paints. Lowes and HD carry them, so I'd think painters would be aware of them if you wanted that option. That's what we have to use, and I still have problems (mostly breathing), but it is not as bad as with regular paint.

Joyfilled, I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family.

Midnightmom, YES! I completely agree with why the gov't schools aren't teaching it! (Literally, everyday I am so thankful that we homeschool ; DD will be learning cursive. Interestingly, in our history lessons we recently learned about William Tyndale. )

I store extra spices in one of those over-the-door-shoe organizer things. I picked one out with clear pockets.

Ann, I'm glad to see you back!

I don't know if she means my special diet or all the books.

MtRider, I'm sorry to hear about Koa. Praying for you and your DH as you grieve and deal with all these challenges.

Momo,

I used to know all this stuff, but can't remember right now. There's a connection with Vit D and vitamin K2. I forget exactly what....it could help with absorbing it or your body utilitizing it? There's supplements that contain both. Metagenics makes one.

Is Ann okay? I haven't seen her posting.

Homesteader, MtRider, would Koa go for ice cream?

Drive Thru History's special on 9/11 is free to watch:

Been for you all. Sam's is limiting the TP to 1 package per membership per day. Don't know if that is due to lower supply or increasing demand or ? It has been hot and very humid here. It will be awhile 'til we get that frost to take care of the goldenrod and ragweed.

Batteries have corroded in the unopened package here. And I've always bought Duracell, thinking that was supposed to be the better brand.

I thought I'd start a thread on free downloads/materials for homeschooling. The Good and the Beautiful has a free download of Nature Poetry for Kids, 10 pages: https://www.goodandbeautiful.com/nature-poetry-for-kids/ Nature Poetry for Kids is just part of the poetry in I Sat By the Sea, which is also available as a free download through The Good and the Beautiful's Free Language Arts Curriculum for Level 3: https://www.goodandbeautiful.com/free-downloads/free-language-arts-level-3/ Their Levels 1-5 Language Arts are available as free downloads. https://www.goodandbeautiful.com/free-homeschool-language-arts/ It is available for purchase in the print version. I'm satisfied with what I'm using currently and will not be switching at this point, but thought it might be helpful for someone else. I don't do ebooks and I don't typically print much out, but I did print our these poetry resources. Poetry is so easy to integrate into homeschooling. We get a lot of use out of the book Favorite Poems Old and New, but it was nice to get these collections as well. DD likes the illustrations, too.

Adding that one to my " eventually get" list. Thanks, TheCG! We're reading The Burgess Bird Book for Children by Thornton Burgess right now. It is a very pleasant read. We are learning (and remembering!) with this one. Excellent "living book" for homeschooling.

I read it this year and it was excellent! I have the print version. I don't do ebooks. No minimalist book shelves here! DD and I were to see it is a trendy-minimalist-decorating-thing to have bookcases without books on them! It was up there with the article we read on buying books by the foot in certain colors or styles to have on shelves behind you to look good for the computer-camera-zoomy thing.

Jeepers, how did Lehmans look inventory-wise? Seems like everytime I'm on their website there are less and less items.

Happy Birthday, Amber! I hope you are feeling better soon. Happy Birthday, Skagitgirl!
