Mine had them done at 4 when he had tubes put in. He had no issues with pain at all.

Gun Lobby trying to create an alarmist state and redirect the real issue?
-
Simple. I enrolled the kids in Classical Conversations and the amount of money has guilted me into purging and not buying more.
-
Diet: grain-free, gluten/dairy free, organic fruits/veggies, lots of coconut oil, high quality butter, grass-fed beef, free range eggs, wild caught fish. Lots of green tea, no more coffee (except on special occasions).
Supplements: magnesium and fish oil make the biggest difference for me. I take both daily.
Organic: vital. Non-GMO is very important to our family.
I have cut down to 1 cup per day on coffee and drink a lot of decaf ice tea. What exactly is high quality butter compared to normal? Just organic? I have been buying cage free eggs and waiting on the situation to resolve itself before I do any other supplements than the D. I am NEVER sick so this has all blindsided me. :crying:
-
I don't do gluten, make GF bread with the coconut flour recipe, and buy as much organic produce as I can. My Dr ordered me to take 5000IU of vitamin D until I go back in for blood work(it was that low). I will ask about the thyroid test but should know more after Friday's u/s. We are thinking could be parathyroid issues. The sun thing work in VA April-Oct but not in the winter due to the lack of strength of the sun. I told DH he should get me a convertible!

What do you consider mandatory for these categories taking into account my symptoms or just for general better health:
Vitamins/supplements
Daily Foods/weekly foods
Organic items
I am having some sort of health thing. Arthritis type stuff in my knees and ankles with muscle pain and swelling in ankle, super tight in the morning. Went to the Dr and it is not Rheumatoid but my D level is super low, calcium is up, and thyroid is slightly enlarged. Thyroid, kidney functions were fine and negative for lymes. U/S scheduled for Friday for the thyroid.

We have three. One on the upstairs landing (there's just a large master bedroom up there), one outside the downstairs master, and one in the hallway outside the other two bedrooms. After reading how many some houses have, I wonder if we have enough.
If bedroom doors are closed at night then no.
-
Here in VA when we built 10 years ago they had to have 1 in every bedroom, 1 in the upstairs hall, one in the foyer downstairs, one at the top of the cellar stairs, and like 3 in the basement since we put in rooms down there. We are hardwired with battery backup and EVERY home should have at least 2 carbon monoxide detectors imho.

Christians have killed many other religious groups. Crusades anyone???

This is hard. They did not care for TT and my older DD ASKED to go back to Saxon! I am letting them do math book work now and just piecing it together. One uses a Harcourt text and the other Saxon 7/6. Next year the plan is to go back to TT and supplement on Fridays with something else. For DS(7) I will be switching from Horizons to CLE 2. It is so hard to pick a math program when they hit walls here and there and need something extra in whatever you pick. I have Beast Academy for my son and plan on working that in to see if it works. I got it for DD(9) but that comic format is not appealing to her at all. She is a straight forward get it done kind of gal.
-
Well to answer your original question I would have to say who cares. So what if they quote you. So what if they quote me. Life is too short.

Remember Doug Flutie? Similar one hit wonder who went north.

Don't doubt. I have graduated two that never set foot in a brick and mortar school even once. They are both in college on scholarships. They are better adjusted to college life, have a stronger work ethic, and enjoy their classes far more than most of their peers who went to public school. They did not need to do remedial work in English and math, unlike a large percentage of their peers.
Socially speaking, I did not see the peer dependent issues and associated problems that cropped up with their high school attending friends. We escaped a TON of drama that other mothers complained about constantly.
Honestly, homeschooling is one of the best decisions I've ever made in behalf of my kids and their future.
I'm sure they would have done fine in PS as well.
But I wanted better than "fine".
I am going to print this and put it all over my house. Better than FINE!
But I just wanted to add that I have a DS in public middle school. Ugh. It is just as bad for boys as it is for girls. They are not there to learn. They are there to for the social aspect and it is not a healthy one. Most days I feel like he just tolerates us because what is important to him is not here in this house.
-
You might have them checked in certain buildings. Remember this city is primarily business so backpacks and briefcases are in every hand. It is tourist friendly so there should be no problems. I haven't encountered a building that restricts bags.

What stats would that be???
-- SECOND BEST ALL-TIME POST-SEASON GAME QBR (Quarterback Rating) IN NFL HISTORY (just behind Aaron Rogers and ahead of every other QB in the history of the NFL) with 97.5 percent - (Steelers playoff game)
- MOST YARDS PER COMPLETION IN NFL PLAYOFF HISTORY- EVER (Steelers playoff game)
- Real QBR rating (from coldhardfootballfact dot com) - Best QBR in last 5 minutes in the game over EVERY QB in the league in 2012.
- Highest passer rating in Broncos post-season history (this includes good ole' John Elway himself)
- 7 come-from-behind 4th quarter or overtime victories in only 12 starts
College stats
SEC's all-time leader in:

- Tebow is ranked 2nd in all-time passing efficiency
- 3rd in career yards per attempt
- 8th in career rushing touchdowns in any position
You may check these stats out on ESPN
I am confused as to WHAT stats you are talking about. These actually look pretty good when he is given the chance to play and throw.
It is amazing to me that people will believe anything they hear without looking at the facts for themselves.
But he wasn't the right fit for them. Maybe the team didn't gel with him. He had to be a leader to be their quarterback. Maybe he wasn't worth the $$ and they are restructuring. I never saw anything great out of him. He is the 3rd worst quarterback since 2010. His career in the NFL has been bad. College doesn't mean jack when you are getting paid to be a pro so that means nothing.
-
He needs to go the CFL where they play more of his game-on the ground. He wasn't right for the Jets. Can't even begin to see why anyone would look further than that. Must it always be about religion? Yikes

The Enchanted Castle-very weird
A Day No Pigs Would Die is hard to read due to the bad use of language but a great story

Oh, this is too timely. My dh just came to me cuz he is playing a game of scrabble with my 7 and 9 yo.

My dd wants wants to stick an 's' in there and he didn't know if he should allow it. I said go for it, we read it in Aesop all the time. :lol:
Ha! My 7 year old said to me, "Mom, wouldn't it suck if everyone in the world had no legs?"
What can I say? That would really suck. He's right.

There are internal reactions and external reactions to foul language.
Internally, I react to people who use foul language (except in cases of serious emotional trauma or physical trauma) very negatively. I think of them as unintelligent, inarticulate and socially incompetent. It's simply not articulate, smart or socially skilled to use profanity in public. If people have more articulate ways of expressing their annoyances and frustrations but they choose not to-I read it as a sign of not being very smart. If they're using it in public when young child (natural born mimics) could possibly hear it, I consider it as socially inept as other topics strangers should not introduce to young children, like say, human reproduction. Most would agree that human reproduction is a great thing, but few would think of introducing it to other people's children who may be nearby. How much more so a debatable topic like profanity.
Externally, I have never felt like running away just because someone is offensive. That would be giving them influence over me. If I had children around that could hear it, I simply calmly explain to them that the words being used were rude and obnoxious, so the child knows it's not acceptable to use them. If they were in that young toddler stage where they hear a word and repeat it over and over with no way of understanding that some words are appropriate and others aren't, I would calmly walk away from the obnoxious person far enough to be out of ear shot.
So if I were to get cutoff while driving my response would be, "Stupid son of a b%tch. Get a f'in clue!"
Your would be something like, "How unfortunate it is that you chose to endanger my life and those of my children with your irresponsible driving abilities."
Seriously? I am socially incompetent, inarticulate, and dumb? I would say that I got my point across quite well. I will be sure to reflect on that as I gaze at my Master's diploma hanging on the office wall. I guess I missed that class in grad school.
But on a side note. I love profanity when it comes to my self proclaimed "good catholic neighbor". (the one that watches porn and has been married a few times). I string together a nice line of my Long Island heritage and let it fly. She will get it every time she confronts me with her bullshit.

I just got radishes and lentils and can't wait to get going. I loathe science and think that units will help me get it done.
-
I have it and use it only for the books to print. If you want it half price let me know. I feel guilty keeping it here and really need to purge!
-
The word "panties" is much creepier in my book. Something only a pedophile would reference. Ick....but that's my opinion
-
I would not call it offended but I feel it shows a lack of intelligence somewhere with the person using it. No reason to use it actually except as a crude factor. It is also not dignified...in my opinion. Also if you regularly use it then how will you not use it in front of children? It will slip out. If you cannot use a word in front of a child, then why use it? The world is full of words...pick a more more creative way to express anger, something you do not mind your 3 year old using.
Foul language=foul person is what my grandmother says.
Crude is a judgement. Some words hold little meaning for me but may offend you. Nice to know that you can make a blanket statement about people who curse like that.
-
Lol. Yes there are all kinds of degrees...but with your example, it is an expression that my mom HATES....so although I do use it sometimes I don't use it around my mom. My mom also hates the expression, 'screwed up'....I don't take that as a vulgar expression at all but I don't use it around her.
That same level of awareness does not seem to exist.....why don't people know that using the F word in wal mart is crossing the line?
Simple. It is a 4 letter word made up by people and given meaning by people. It's power is in what you give to it. Vulgarity may offend you as you put meaning to the words that are negative and contrary to your belief. An atheist could easily be offended by constant references to prayer and god since we do not put any stock in either and believe them to offensive. Chanted prayer like the lord's prayer literally makes my skin crawl. Not being snarky-it literally makes me feel ill.
Anyway, here is what I do find offensive. Ethnic slurs.
Wetback, dot head, rag head, chink, N&gger, and the like. Those have deeper meaning. Now around here the term redneck is not offensive but it may be on other places. Some people flip at the use of the words retard and midget. I guess it depends on the person. I couldn't stand that my 90 year old grandmother still used the term "coloreds".
Can people with thyroid issues please chime in?
in The Chat Board
Posted
Can you tell me what your symptoms were, what tests you had run, and if they had trouble pinpointing it?
Here are my facts so far:
Knee and ankle pain that gradually worsened over 2 weeks now with swelling, stiffness,and heel(bottom of foot) involved
Thyroid is enlarged and they measured something on the ultrasound yesterday(nodule I think)
Calcium up and Vit D levels super low in blood work
Negative for Lyme's and kidney function looked fine. Thyroid also looked fine on blood work but I don't know what was tested
Scattered brain, lack of interest or energy in anything, suddenly like coffee(weird, right?)
No shortness of breath or trouble breathing, Naproxen helps with the pain
