Another Lynn Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 We've introduced John to the Prisamacolors we bought on super super sale a year ago and he's learning to blend colors. He's been working on a dinosaur in the grass for 3 days now. Mary wants to play Hungry Hungry Hippos with Daddy because the poor hippos haven't eaten in months. I'm almost finished with my book. John knows more about blending colors with Prismacolors than I do. :leaving: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Haydn. (Marked as "Austria" in many hymnals) "Because of the practice of singing the hymn to a tune used for other purposes it has sometimes elicited unusual reactions. During the Second World War in an Oflag prisoner of war camp, a Protestant service was interrupted during the singing of "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" by the camp guards singing Sei gesegnet ohne Ende, because the hymn was set to the tune of the Austrian national anthem.[9] The same Haydn melody is employed in the German national anthem formerly known, popularly, as Deutschland über alles — properly titled Das Lied der Deutschen or the Deutschlandlied, the third verse of which is the national anthem of present-day Germany. For some people, using this particular tune for the hymn (often named in various hymnals as "Austria") is often controversial as, despite the fact that it dates back to the 18th century, it raises reminders of Nazi Germany.[10]" Here's more about the tune: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gott_erhalte_Franz_den_Kaiser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. We will wait for an opening on the good job with benefits or give up and go with the temp agency he got his current job through. Either way we'll probably still move May 31st.

Critterfixer Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Okay--two query letters proofed and ready to go tomorrow. I wrote 1000 words, worked on my pitch (slightly different than a query) and wrote up one critique that I plan to sit on until it hatches into something a little more cute and fluffy than what is currently on the page. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Have any of you ever been to a Doctor of Osteopathy? I need to find a new doc and I’m trying to sift through local recommendations. Yes. DOs and MDs receive all the same training and do the same residencies, at this point there is usually no practical difference between doctors with either credential.

Another Lynn Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm glad you edited. I was getting ready to quote you and ask. So, will you drop it after this year? Thanks! Definitely dropping after this year. They've already registered for the next level for next year and it's full. We decided a while back we would do 8th grade differently. I thought the influence of peers would counterbalance the angst from the workload, but he doesn't get the same sense of accomplishment from it that older ds did. Personally, I've never been a fan of the Challenge level scope and sequence, but used it for the one ds ifor whom it seemed a good fit. Now he's ready to leave it too after this year (Challenge 3). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I finished The Reader's Odyssey which was fine. I agreed with almost everything and don't need to buy the book. I did get Teaching The Classics but my computer broke before I could watch it and I had to return it before I could buy a new computer, but I only borrowed it to see if I wanted to buy it and I do so it served it's purpose. So now on to The Last Unicorn and then probably It Starts With Food. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm awake. I want to get up , but when I tried that a bit ago Kernel promptly woke up and came looking for me. I've never had a baby before who absolutely would not stay asleep without a parent to snuggle with. He's back asleep now so I'm being a teddy bear. How old is Kernel? Baby is just like that and I had hope he'd outgrow it when he learned to roll over easily and I could put him on his tummy. I've co-slept some with all my babies but Baby is ridiculous! He isn't happy most of the time unless his head is on the boob. He doesn't eat that much more than the others, but it's like he panics if he thinks the option is not there! But he's cute and snuggly and one day will smell like 16 instead of all the lovely things so I don't mind too much. All these ladies at the baby group were like, "I have a bedtime routine for my 2month old and put him to sleep at 8 and he wakes up at 5...." That is like a different universe from me- can't comprehend! Not that I would mind...DD(10) was kind of like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I've co-slept with six babies before him and none of them had to have full body contact at all times in order to sleep! He was like this from day one though--the nurses at the hospital nursery said something about it every time they brought him back to me: "your baby won't sleep unless someone is holding him!" I was sending him to them in the hopes of getting some rest myself :tongue_smilie: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The friend who recommended I look for one thought they’d be more likely to look for root causes than just symptoms. Really, I just want someone who will take me seriously. And I want to avoid the Scylla of “lets give you antidepressants and cut your uterus out†and the Charybdis of “eat nothing but Kale and a hundred dollars worth of supplements.†I mean, I suppose if eating nothing but kale made me feel like a million bucks I’d do it, but I’ve tried paleo and too low carb makes my anxiety worse and I don’t seem to have any problems with dairy. I’ve been recommended so many different vitamins and supplements over the years by friends and so far your suggestion of magnesium is the only one to help! :grouphug: :grouphug: I hope you find someone good.

Critterfixer Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Would you consider an 8yo a tween? A local mom wants to start a tween book club 3rd Grade and up. I always thought tween was 10-12. There’s a pretty big difference between an 8year old and a 10 year old! And a huge difference between an 8 year old and a 12 year old! I mean they can play together, certainly, but book discussions I think would be either boring or frustrating for the older kid. No, I'd think 10-12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
