Yes, they should be able to arrange for it to get on a another truck.Why isn't your moving company shipping/paying to ship the items they left behind? They left it behind. You need to hold them accountable.

I agree. If I see continental I know it will be carbs (wheat) and there won’t be food for my family. So we would eat at home or bring food with us.Really? When I see continental I think cold breakfast items, usually toast/rolls/bagels, etc....and that is usually what is served.
When I see hot breakfast, I think eggs, bacon, etc...

Yes, all true paleo cookbooks will fit those restrictions. Watch out for blogs, I see a lot of “paleo†blogs that include dairy.Search for Whole 30, Paleo, or Primal recipes. Primal may have some dairy in it, but Whole 30 and Paleo are grain free and dairy free aleady. There are lots of yummy recipes nowadays.
I love the Well Fed cookbooks. She takes one recipe and “mixes it up†several ways to avoid burnout! Also talks about what to have prepped ahead for the week to make daily life easier.
Also, Danielle Walker has some great recipes. You can find a lot by googling.

I agree 100%.I just wonder what the goal is. Money? You won't get that much richer--on the contrary, I don't see that. Status? You can become a doctor or engineer without having been in the gifted program, and many of them learn to read at 6 - 7. Bragging rights? Does anyone really think that a preschool mom bragging about her preschooler's schedule is anything other than pathetic? Get a job, lady.
I work with people who had this done to them. What's funny is that the kids lack the skills to move up--so you end up with extremely talented people who lack the talent to drive their own future, or drive a whole company. They end up suited for academia or mid-level engineering jobs, but wherever decisions are concerned, decisions or internal motivation to change the world, you see a huge gap.
Now, that doesn't really apply to the kids who drive themselves. Those individuals always stand out. But interestingly you see them in all cultures, in all backgrounds. They just have amazing drive and talent and are most often singularly focused and their parents almost never brag to anyone but their closest friends, because it's like treating your kid like a freak show exhibit.
I do see parents like this at our schools because we're in a highly competitive system in the US. I find it something of a joke though, because I was in a gifted and talented program. It's only one year ahead. You can get two years ahead just doing the poor kids' program, Running Start, and still get a scholarship to MIT. You have to wonder if people have a vision of merit and accomplishment outside of their own little circle. Like, do they realize there are many paths here in the US? They all involve hard work but only one involves rapping your kids' knuckles at the age of four....
In addition, do these people have goals of their own? I wonder how much of this is just them pushing their anger on to their kids because they don't have their own achievements to speak of.

I don’t know any anymore. I used to know one, she took her daughter out of our ballet studio because the teachers refused to push her beyond what her body was ready to do. From the moment she got out of school she was either at tutoring, dance, or gymnastics until at least 10pm (she was about 8 or 9 years old at the time).

Oh honey, hugs.
I’ll be praying for you.

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking. Playing with the cuisenaire rods.

Yeah. We don’t eat much fruit, only berries. We eat a lot of green vegetables.I eat fruit, but I don’t drink juice. Berries, apples and grapes are my usuals but I don’t eat them every day.
I am not miserable at all. Miserable is needing to loose 100 plus pounds.
It’s perspective here.
High protein, low carb, good fat. It’s working for me.

Yes, we’re below that and we’re very low for total sugars too.

I probably based my recipe on this. I didn’t use the arrowroot flour.
-
I’ve done them dipped in mayo and then in a mix of coconut flour and spices (garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, etc). Then I sprayed them with olive oil and cooked in the air fryer.
I used the coconut flour when my dd wasn’t eating nuts for awhile.
I think I might try a blend of coconut and almond flour, the coconut is a little dry and definitely needed the oil spray.

Here is what the OP wrote from the book:When I asked OP what school the kids in the book family went to, it sounded like the answer was Mesa Community College (Arizona) at 14.
If we had a similar community college in our area, with rules that would allow easy dual enrollment, I think a lot of kids could probably manage that. Whether a lot should or not, I don't know. But it is a moot point since in our area, and I assume this is true for many homeschoolers, there is not a similar nearby option.
I don't think they are talking about extremely gifted kids in the book. But they also probably are not talking about ones with LD's or other issues. It sounds like they have a fairly homogeneous group of kids who were well-suited to the plan they chose. The educational environment likely played a part, but so too very likely did other factors like genetics.
“The oldest went on to medical school, next oldest completed a master's degree in bioengineering at Johns Hopkins University at age 19, and now is in his fifth year of a PhD program at MIT. Third and fourth children, medical school. Fifth is in a PhD program in electrical engineering at MIT. Sixth is studying chemical engineering and plans to study medicine.â€
I don’t know if they’re highly gifted but they’re certainly far, far above average.

I agree. I would be VERY, VERY irritated.It sounds like it may be time to have a little chat with this teacher. It sounds like she is definitely singling your dd out, and that’s not right.

Me too. I would be fascinated. I would want to know how you found out about it, how you got involved, what kind of vaccine, etc.I would ask a bunch of questions as I am very nosy
Though to be honest i only talk about vaccines (me bringing it up) with a couple other people because it’s such a hot button issue.

Yes, a picture would help.How often have you been cleaning them? Can you provide us with a picture?
How big is the hole?
My friend’s dd got her ears pierced at the pediatricians’s office and they messed up one side. She had to let that one heal up and then get it re-pierced.

So Bluegoat (the OP) and I went back and forth quite a bit in a different thread. I don't want to re-hash that, at ALL, but I noticed that when I didn't agree with her, or when I didn't answer her questions the in precisely the way she framed them, she accused me of just trying to be "nice" and focusing on "feelings" instead of the facts.
I'm not saying she's wrong. But from my POV the conversation felt like this (imagine I'm the first speaker):
"I homeschool because I want my kids to love learning and not be bullied"
"But what about socialization"
"I'm not worried about socialization; they're doing great. Here are all the great things about homeschooling!"
"But what about socialization".
"We really aren't considering switching back to public school....."
"show me studies that prove this socialization is as good as school"
"there aren't really apple to apple comparsions. Look my kids are doing great and next week we're going to a new museum"
"But what about socialization".
It was like hitting my head against a brick wall.
I am 100% sure that she felt that talking to ME was hitting against a brick wall, too. I'm absolutely not posting this to say she was wrong / is wrong. Just.... I am going to guess this is a similar scenario. Two people having a completely different conversation next to each other ,not with each other.
I need to read the thread now. Can you tell me which one it was?

Why? There’s nothing getting in the way.I think the video perfectly illustrates the problem. Gravity with clothing when upside-down. It's not the leggings or pants, it's the tops riding way up. Tuck in the shirt and there's a lot less of an issue.

At first I just saw my town name. When I looked at the address, it’s the babies r us, not the toys r us.The stores that I’m familiar with on that list are all Babies R Us locations.

You have to let Kaboom sit for a little bit. You don’t get in when the fumes are still there.I tried Kaboom and the fumes were totally awful. The smell went up my nose and stayed with me for quite a while even after I left the room. It also made my eyes water. I threw it straight out.
Plain baking soda didn't work.
Baking soda and vinegar didn't work.
Barkeeper's Friend didn't work.
I've got two scrub brushes. One has hard bristles and the other soft. I've tried using both. I'm scrubbing until my arm aches.
The dirtiest part wasn't where I used the brillo pad so it can't be scratched.
I just sprayed it with oven cleaner and closed the door. I'm going to let it sit for 2 hours and then go back and scrub it. If it doesn't work, I'll try some of these other things again by letting them sit and soak.
I tried bleach using white rags and laying them on the dirty spots then soaking them with bleach. I figured if I poured the bleach straight onto the floor it would all go down the drain. There was no noticeable difference with my method.
The dumb shower has a crack in it so needs to be replaced anyway, but we don't know how to do it. We tried finding someone through Home Depot but that guy wanted to remodel our bathroom to the tune of $5,000. All we want is another builders $200 shower installed. I thought about Home Advisor but I don't know what specialist to ask. I don't want to ask a contractor because that is who we got through Home Depot and he told us people like him didn't do cheap shower installs.

We’re thinking about selling our house so I’ve been cleaning like crazy.
My new favorite heavy duty cleaner is Kaboom (purple spray bottle). It does amazing things to grout and I’ve tried many, many other things for grout over the years. And it cleaned the greasy grime off the shower floor. I sprayed on there, let it sit for about 10 minutes, scrubbed with a cloth then repeated the whole process. It was very clean after the second round.
I will say though that if oven cleaner didn’t work I would be doubtful about anything else working. 😕

That sounds like a good place to start.http://scarysymptoms.com/2015/07/does-your-hair-smell-like-wet-dog/

You might try this shampoo. I had a derm recommend it for fungal acne. It has sulphur and salicylic acid (that helps break up the oily layer so the other ingredients can really work).

I don’t think any of us (dh and 2 kids) has ever had the flu. We don’t really take any special precautions. We get flu shots most years (only dd had one this year, she got it because I had her at the dr for a UTI in October when they were giving them out). We’re not particularly good about washing our hands 🙄. I do keep wet wipes in the car and try to pass them out when we get back in the car after an activity. In general we’re just very lucky and rarely get sick.
I’m pretty sure I just cursed myself.
