    Yes, so am I. The program ends at 21 in our state, and the kids are mainstreamed in elective classes until that point. There is a course called "activities of daily living" where they do a lot of the things described, but it is only for one block per day - it is not an all day program.
  2. hippiemamato3
    That has been my experience. They are considered "repeat seniors."
  3. hippiemamato3
    Agreed, but there are "kids" with disabilities whose bodies/hormones are still very much their real age at 20, and they are still in classes with 14 year olds.
  4. hippiemamato3
    Ah - at our schools they are mainstreamed (maybe not in academic classrooms but definitely for specials, etc) but it stops right at age 21. And, IMO, 20 years olds don't belong in classrooms with 14 year olds either.

    Wow 26? Here SPED goes to age 21. I can't imagine 26 year olds in high school with 14 year olds?

    I think colleges will take a huge hit if instruction is all online anyway - people won't be willing to pay regular tuition prices, right?

    I once had to end a friendship because it had become so unhealthy that my PTSD made me physically sick every time I was around her. I sent an email and told her that I needed a long break. It was the right thing to do, but it hurt. It still hurts. We had been friends since we were 11 years old. It's been 6 years and I still think about her and her kids.

    $100 per kid for clothes is amazingly cheap - I have no idea how you'd even do that. Also, again, a $100 bridesmaid dress doesn't mean one isn't keepign things "simple." I'd say that's as simple as you can get if you're having a formal wedding.
  9. hippiemamato3
    $100 is super cheap for a bridesmaid dress and shoes. It's typical and expected for the wedding party to pay for their own attire.

    Hmm. I consider us fortunate that we didn't get the stimulus. Our income hasn't changed with the economic shut down and I'd rather the money go to those who actually need it. I wouldn't even consider hiding assets...
  11. hippiemamato3
    Our income is too high to qualify, but it seems that many people received it today.

    I've never heard of these programs being for adults. Interesting.

    I guess I'm saying that not following directions isn't a big deal to me when it comes to this kind of thing. Learning to drive, yes. Coloring a sheet of paper? No.
  14. hippiemamato3
    Some of the most brilliant kids i know struggle with (or refuse to) follow directions.
  15. hippiemamato3
    Unless the dog's tail was pointed out separately from the dog itself, I would not have colored it either.

    In our state liquor stores are considered essential - how is it possible that gardening supplies and seeds aren't?!
  17. hippiemamato3
    Changing my answer to none. I am doing way too much online shopping and I don't even care. I'm actually pretty sure we're spending more.
  18. hippiemamato3
    It's ok to feel this way. It's also ok to still want to keep traditions alive in a difficult time.

    Just from DD not figure skating, we are saving about $800 a month. But - we are spending more on entertainment, groceries, books, take out, etc....so, really not saving much.

    I went to Target yesterday. The baskets will be a little different this year because I didn't plan ahead well, but they're still good.
  21. hippiemamato3
    I thnk it's a good sign that they lessened a bit for a while. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
  22. hippiemamato3
    Thinking of you guys and hoping your daughter is doing well.

    Red Band Society - abruptly ended
  24. hippiemamato3
    The only difference will be that I will keep a backstock of things like toilet paper. Otherwise, I expect life will mostly go back to normal.
  25. hippiemamato3
    Wow!
