  1. One thing I remember SWB saying about the original edition was that the publisher wanted all the schedules in because they were afraid it wouldn't be taken seriously. But that SWB actually didn't do the schedules that were in there because they were too much. So yes, use what you wish from it, but don't rule out something because it seems to hard or too boring. I skipped copy work and dictation with dd because of it and now I wish I hadn't. They are useful precursor skills. My DSs will be doing them until they come out their ears.

  2. I did not know about guided access. Wow. I'll have to look into that. I thought I remembered seeing an app that basically provided the service of a password-lockable group/folder for restricting access to other apps.

     

    Eta: I must have been imagining things because I can't find it now.

     

    My understanding, from a while ago, was the wasn't possible on an ithingy. Apple won't let apps control other apps. With android it's possible, but not apple. However, I looked into it a couple of years ago when I first got my iPad so things may have changed since then.

  3. The remains were found in the 1930s and a very rudimentary examination done. The location does not tally with the previous reports of the boys' bodies being moved from the tower (if Richard was the killer). No DNA testing has been done.

    So, I'm wondering how did they do DNA testing on Richard III (or potentially the boys' bodies) to prove who they were? Did they have samples or is it a descendent thing? Anyone know?

  4. I have lived in a lot of different houses with different types of sinks and my favorite was one that had a smaller side and a larger side.

     

    It was sort of like this, but I know they come in lots of materials, sizes and dimensions:

    Manhattan+Double+Bowl+and+Small+Side+Rectangular+Undermount+Kitchen+Sink.jpg

    This more or less what I have and the big side is quite deep. I had a single sink in the previous house and hated it. This is the best of both worlds.

  5. Yup. This is standard practice. It has been for years. Doctors are different than the hospital. In my experience no anesthesiologist is ever in network. Same with ambulances. But then when you need one, you're not really in a position to argue.

  6. I'm so glad we live in a small ward and don't have to change times. :D I just spent all of church being a hall mom to the baby. I get released from primary and still can't attend classes.

     

    And to all the moms, relax. The transition from nursery is always horrid. Every parent of a new sunbeam was in primary yesterday. I thought it was hilarious. I won't next year when I'm doing it, of course.

     

    Otherwise we had a good Sunday. It was DH's birthday and I ruined the first batch if frosting but the second turned out good enough that I could forget about it.

  7. Hi, if it's okay to join in...We moved to 11:30 from 9:00 today. My kids are 5 and up, so thankfully naps aren't an issue now. Overal today was good, if sad. My newly 12yo ds graduated from Primary but my dh that no longer believes doesn't want him ordained. Since it's something that he can have done later but can't really undo, I grudgingly agreed. Now I'm regretting that. My poor ds realized today that means he can't pass the Sacrament. He was really sad for the first time, so now I'm wondering if I should even bother. It doesn't seem fair to him that he's only "kind of" in YM.

     

    Sorry, this is heavier than I wanted it to be. I can't talk to anyone here b/c they know me and it's too hard. Thanks.

     

     

    I'd sit down with both DH and DS and ask DS if he wants the priesthood? If he does and can truly express why, can DH accept that and let him get sustained? Then let DS have some time to pray and respond. Days, weeks, months, whatever. But he has to be firm in his reasons and everyone else is doing it isn't a good one. It would help DS with his testimony and maybe your DH as well.

  8. Brooklyn Public Library. It's $50 for non-state residents. It has a huge library of ebooks. One of the largest. Fairfax VA has another large one as well. Both of them took about a week for me to sign up. The Free Library of Pennsylvania has a huge collection as well, but you have to mail in your application. I'm told the Seattle library is huge as well, but you have to apply in person. But the Brooklyn Library is big enough that I'm happy with it.
  9. When I googled it, they appear similar but definitely not the *same*.

    The way it boils down, to me, is that a PA is allowed to practice medicine under a doctor's supervision; a nurse practitioner can help perform, or actually perform, "medical TASKS" under a doctor's supervision, but not "practice medicine" like a PA. A PA can prescribe medication. A PA can treat minor injuries and disorders.

     

    I may have it wrong - I just googled after all, lol.

     

    I believe you're correct. My dad was a PA and he had more freedom than a nurse. Quite often he was the one running the clinic, but there was a dr in another city that was his supervising dr. It does depend upon the state though. My dad could write RXs for narcotics. In some states nurses can, in other states they can't. In Texas, it seems like NPs are more closely supervised than PAs.

     

    My understanding is that a PA is like a "junior doctor". Not quite, but close. And without the years of school. My dad was army trained so I'm it sure what it takes to be a PA now, but I believe it's a 4year degree.

     

    After 35+ years of practice with a masters my dad made just over $100,000.

  10. No idea which to buy, but I'm in the same boat. I thought that you're supposed to be able to add flash drives to the USB ports, but I can't get the Xbox to recognize any of ours. So I'm currently at a loss.

  11. I think your plan is fine. I've not gotten anything from the in laws in a few years and it was always lopsided before that. I also think focusing on the grand kids is fine, but it does hurt your feelings when everyone else gets lots and you get nada. Last year they didn't get dd anything and that was really upsetting.

     

    I do think if you're having money troubles to cut down on the amount. We flat out told my mom no presents for anyone this year after my dad died. She doesn't have the money anymore. There are lots of things you can do for less or make even.

  12. Now have him plan next week's. And the following week. Or the entire month of December which should be scary if your December is as busy as mine. But tell him he can't repeat meals. He has to come up with sides. And any and all "mom's choice" involves a restaurant. Then see if he still thinks its easy have him start on the other meal times.
