[WWYD in this situation? -- Ugh, update in post 53]

That stinks, but like you...I would listen to my gut on this one.

[I doubt I can win here...(vent JAWM)]

Can you pay her way to visit you?  It would be less costly in more ways than one. :grouphug:

[A trip down Memory Lane, WTM style...]

Kpzz...Wow, I haven't thought about her shinning eyes posts in ages.  There have been so many great posts by awesome posters here for years and years.  It would be wonderful for them to check in and update us.

 

I've been around since 99 (dial up :confused1: ), but was so new to homeschooling = lurker/sponge of the wisdom shared.  I do miss the old timers and being on line for a board flip was an awesome late night adventure.

[Homeschool problem - solved.]

So cool!

[n/m]

Happy for the two of you. :)

[UPDATE: urgent prayers needed -]

What a nightmare!  I do hope it is found & returned full of money and everything.

[Drug free caffeine substitute - I have NEVER felt more alive!]

Driver's ed here requires 30 documented hours behind the wheel with a parent or legal guardian.  (My heart rate is going up just remembering them; scariest 30 hours of my life!)  

 

:grouphug: Op there isn't a tea on the market strong enough to calm your nerves after some driving lessons.

[Unexpected Early Arrival]

Congratulations!

[Wow, I need prayer. Overwhelmed with too many life things.]

:grouphug:

[Warning about helicopter parenting...]

Well said op.  Quick judgments can often be very off and at times hurtful. 

[MedicMom and baby could use prayers and positive thoughts]

:grouphug: prayers :grouphug:

[Stress and hair loss]

Consider trying a shampoo and conditioner with Nioxin in it.  Sally's carries an inexpensive line, but most hair salons also carry a line of them.  My mom used this when a medication caused hair loss and my younger sister successfully used it to counter stress and a big weight loss.  

 

Strangely, one rec was to use a blow dryer to help stimulate the scalp.

[Diagnosed with uterine cancer]

:grouphug: prayers :grouphug:

[Dr. hive....baby projectile vomiting?]

Air conditioner?  You mention the heat and humidity as possibly getting to him.  If you don't have AC, consider finding a place with one and see if he improves.  In such a little one, I'd er on the side of caution.  Hope the little guy is doing better this morning.

[USPS change of address charge?]

:bigear: Good to know.

[Now I'm breaking this lease]

Sounds like a wise decision to move on as quickly as possible.  

[Help me set boundaries with Gold Child & Narcissist & Facebook]

BOUNDARIES by Cloud and Townsend is an excellent book/tool for setting healthy boundaries.  

 

 

Many libraries have a copy.

[Can you spare some prayers and good thoughts?]

:grouphug:  :grouphug:  :grouphug:

[Can I ask for your prayers?]

:grouphug: prayers :grouphug:

[what do I need to know....my son is getting 4 teeth pulled]

:grouphug:

[I have reached the end of my meal-planning rope: food allergies and intolerances]

:grouphug: Make a list of every single thing that can be eaten; include everything from drinks to spices.  Then, I would try to cook ahead as much as possible for the week.

 

Another hug of sympathy, from someone who regularly cooks three different meals and tries to blend them into dinner.

[If my friends here could keep us in your thoughts and prayers (Xpost)]

:grouphug:

[I am going to be a grandma. February 1st or thereabout.]

Congratulations! :001_smile:

[Today, I drove my mother to the nursing home where she will now live]

:grouphug:  :grouphug:  :grouphug:  Hugs and prayers for both of you.
