My college freshmen can't get his Concerta either. He's on a wait list. What a mess.

We traveled for the last one, and I was so glad we did. It's awesome. We're in totality for this one. But, if it's cloudy here and we could drive day of to some place clear, I will do it. I want to experience it again.

I would be hurt, too. Might it be that they are traveling with a group that is handling all the itinerary and travel arrangements? I"m thinking, in this kind of situation, you do what the group does.

My tennis shoes are Altra (Torin6). It is the only tennis shoe I've been able to wear in years. I need to experiment with different models to prevent that dependency. I hadn't thought of that--I've just been thrilled to finally find tennis shoes that didn't aggravate my neuroma!

I'm a teacher, on my feet all day, with a neuroma, wide feet, a hammer toe, and a small bunion. I'm wearing Hey Dudes with my orthotic insert for work. My feet are doing great with this, and this is about the only "work" shoe I've been able to wear without issues. I don't know if your bunion will wear through those quickly, though, and do have my orthotic made for the neuroma issue.

The coconut contains polyphenols, so not great with iron. Maybe better than dairy, but I'd avoid both. Egg is the most potent inhibitor of iron absorption (both yolk and white inhibit absorption). Bisglycinate, if that is what you picked up, absorbs well and therefore doesn't tend to constipate or cause other issues related to unabsorbed iron. I'm replying again because there is a link between iron deficiency and thyroid function. I'm unclear on which causes the other, maybe it goes both ways, but there is a connection.

The issue is you're probably eating cereal with milk or another food that inhibit iron absorption. The high iron plant foods (like spinach) and eggs also contain things that inhibit iron absorption. Red meat is an option. I think it is easiest and most effective to get some iron bisglycinate (Gentle Iron or similar) and take it on an empty stomach with some orange juice or vitamin C.

I pushed for hours. My baby A was posterior and got his chin stuck in my pelvis. He crowned, but we ended up with a c section. The OB told me she had a mom on her 6th delivery with a baby in the same position as my son who also ended up with a C section. Maybe she was just trying to make me feel like less of a failure!

I"m sorry. I hope both of you got/get some sleep.

That is so scary. Praying he stays stable and they find a cause and effective treatment.

Fantastic!

It is exciting to see so many of us get job offers. Congratulations everyone! I applied for the position I went back to school to prepare for today. I'm really nervous! It would be easier if I didn't care about this particular position so much.

My son has significant PELL and state need-based scholarships for his freshman year, which will drop significantly in year 2 when the FAFSA no longer considers siblings in college. He also has good recurring academic scholarships, assuming he keeps a 3.5 GPA. He could probably get by without working his first year. He didn't work during high school at all, so has no direct experience balancing work with school yet. He just finished freshman orientation and asked me if I thought he should work on campus next year. Would you encourage your teen to look for on-campus work his first semester or would you suggest he take time to settle into college before working?
