Artists, what material would work for this?
bookfiend replied to Perry's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I think you could cut it out of a think art board with an exacto knife and spray paint, burnish, gloss. -
Do you believe humans are mammals?
bookfiend replied to Moxie's topic in General Education Discussion Board
:iagree: taxonomy is just a classification system and under this classification, I am a mammal. Here is the verse that argues against classifying persons and animals in the same category. 1Cr 15:39All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. This is all that I will be posting as I am also not interested in debate tonight.- 189 replies

Perhaps it would help relieve the stress of the decision to consider that nothing has to be a permanent choice. Try things. You can try the medication. If the side effects are too awful or the results aren't what you need, the Dr. can direct you on how to stop. You can try and keep or discard many of the other wise suggestions given here. The postive in your post is that you have both the knowledge that change is needed and the energy and drive to try. :grouphug: as you move forward.

Mysterious, Sporadic Pink Stains On Laundry
bookfiend replied to Tutor's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Is it on all pieces of clothing or only shirts? We had this happen. It looked just like bleach stains. Then I realized the boys were dribbling toothpaste spit (gross I know) on their shirts occasionally. The whitening toothpaste was bleaching the clothes. -

What time does your middle schooler go to bed?
bookfiend replied to Nakia's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We must be really archaic here - Upstairs at 8:00, reading until 8:30, lights out. Realistically that often flexes to 8:30 and 9:00. I find that my guys still need a solid 10-11 hours sleep/night. -
Need advice from GERMAN SHEPHERD owners
bookfiend replied to 1GirlTwinBoys's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I don't know how you are correcting the biting issue, but for our GSD, we were trained to hold his muzzle closed - firmly, with a slightly uncomfortable squeeze - look him in the eyes and strongly say NO BITING. Also 12-18 months we had to roll him to belly up, straddle over him, get in his face and shout (did this once or twice). That was the dog adolescent year. It took 3 yrs before the rambucous dog phase was over. Then he was the best do EVER! ETA: I was the primary trainer and probably spent 60-90 minutes most days working with him -- Not all at one time, chunked up over the course of the day. -
So are you going to plot all of the data collected from the WTM sample and let us know how the days stack up? For our family - 1 in 4 for Tuesday. Me - Wednesday, which I've always hated because of the whole "child of woe" thing. DS 1 - Monday; can't believe I had to actually look it up and couldn't remember! DS 2 - also a child of woe DH - Tuesday

CANDY or CARAMEL Apples
bookfiend replied to Kari C in SC's topic in General Education Discussion Board
OR??? Why is it always OR on these polls? Hasn't anyone ever heard of AND? :D -
I had the same problem as a result of three extended sessions and numerous numbing shots. The dentist didnt' want to believe that was the cause and kept claiming I clench/grind in my sleep. Somthing my DH of 20 yrs never noticed? Rather than continue the argument, I sought out ENT with jaw specialty. He quickly said it was ligament inflamation that connects from jaw to hyoid bone. The tell was that there was a spot in the middle the side of my neck that I could point to as intermittent, sharp pain. Eventually the pain was in the jaw joint and left temple, worse at night. A ten day course of prednisone cured me. The second step would have been PT. Dentist wanted me to wear night guard for the rest of my life....

Why can't you ever tell how big Clifford the Big Red Dog really is? He fits into his dog house He doesn't fit into his dog house and Emily Elizabeth is as big as his toe. He's smaller than the neighbor's house (and Emily Elizabeth is as tall as his knee) but as big as the Fire Station? Issues of scale really bother my boys. In the Redwall series, a squirrel kills a wolverine and a mouse kills a bobcat and a badger wields a mouses sword - to name a few.

Has anyone here made up Blessing Bags?
bookfiend replied to JenC3's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Yes, we did this as a service project with our co-op. Some bags we were able to hand out the car window at stop lights to those holding signs. Others we left under bridges where a homeless person had made camp (no one was there). In every case the bag was gratefully received. We made one bag with food items and one with toiletries and then packed both inside a larger ziplock. Raisins Mini-flashlight with batteries Peanuts Bandaids Pack of Baby-wipes Hard Candy Soup in pop-to cans packs of Lance crackers granola bars cups of applesauce cups/cans of fruit (like peaches or something) juice boxes bottle of water beef jerky small bars of soap toothbrushes boxes of toothpaste small bottles of lotion small deodorants chapsticks portable hand wipes small kleenex packs spoons/napkins (for fruit and applesauce track and Bible Here is a list from a local group http://www.churchinthewoods.net/howtohelp.htm -
I don't know about the medical side, but here are a few ideas of things to take for the comfort side. I accompanied a friend for her treatment several times. Have you seen where you will receive the treatments? It may suprise you. The cancer center I experienced was set up like a large lounge, in a gentle U-shape with the nurses pod in the middle. There were big lazy-boy chairs in two rows facing each other (maybe 40 or so). Each chair had a small, padded folding-type chair for a companion. You need to take a notebook/computer to record everything that is told to you. If you have someone coming with you, this is a good job for them. Some things that were nice to have: comfy blanket buckwheat neck pillow (also used for lower back) a rice heater buddy (that you microwave, and it gets warm) lavender sachet (if smells make you nauseous) hot, homemade soup in a thermos something sweet, something salty a book of prayers (we read from the valley of vision, a collection of puritan prayers and devotions) music with earphones somthing to keep you hands busy (knitting or such) Most important, an attitude that welcomes the medicine and doesn't fight or fear it. You want your body to accept the meds. Something that was unexpected but logical is that people tend to make their appointments for the same time each session. That meant that by the third round, we made chemo friends. adding my :grouphug:.

Help me. Stuck in never-ending loop
bookfiend replied to TranquilMind's topic in General Education Discussion Board
:grouphug: Age of Opportunity by Ted Tripp (a non-confrontive, mentoring approach with teens.) Also Mark Hamby speaks very movingly of reclaiming his relationship with his sons after years of abusive, punitive parenting. (I am not in the least implying that this has been the case in your home.) He moved to a grace based understanding of faith and family. I'm sorry for your pain. http://store.lamplighter.net/life-transforming-seminars-c144.aspx -

Storing Large Toys for Boys

In a big, plastic garbage can in the garage. We have full artillery here too, and it is definitely considered an outside activity. Nerf guns go under the bed. -
Live Camera on giraffe in labor?
bookfiend replied to NittanyJen's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I don't know; maybe if you have been watching all along you are still in the feed loop, and new watchers are closed out? At the top of the screen, there are two tabs - one for live, one for archived footage. Hate that we are missing the big event. I could have counted it for science credit!- 14 replies

They shut down the feed for the giraffe's "privacy" :001_huh: OK, it just occured to me maybe she needs some intervention that they aren't interested in showing.- 14 replies
