Thanks for the help!

Hello I just received a Kindle Fire as a gift and I know I get a month free of Prime but I'm confused....What do I receive with the free month? If I download a movie, do I still pay for the movie? What is the difference between prime and non prime. Am I still responsible for charges? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. It looks like I will need to experiment a bit with either coconut or soy to see which one works out better.

To those of you that have milk allergies or are lactose intolerant - what do you use to create a creamy sauce? For example, I used to like to make chicken a la king but now that I know my DD is lactose intolerant, I'm not sure what to use to make the sauce creamy. Rice milk seems like it wouldn't be thick enough and I don't know if soy would change the overall flavor making it less tasty for the other members of the family that don't like the taste of soy. Also, what about a creamy alfredo? I have looked on some websites for ideas but thus far haven't found anything appealing. Thanks for any ideas!

My son tested positive for it this year. He hardly ever goes to the doctor but was so fatigued I forced him to go in. He tested positive for EBV and had very low vitamin D. Basically the pediatrician said that since its a virus it will just have to run its course. I hope he doesn't have problems in the future but there are times he gets run down. (he's 17). I didn't think about a correlation with mono but he did have that when he was 5 or 6.

My dd started public high school this year - similar size as your daughter's school. She had previously gone to private school and been homeschooled. I agree with the others who mentioned shadowing. I made my daughter shadow for a day just so she could see what a typical day is like and not be overwhelmed on the first day of school. You are right that many of the kids already know each other and this has been difficult for my child because they already have established friendships. She still has close friends from her former school and she sees them after school but it can be lonely not having close friends during the day. Also, I know a lot think ps is easy but she really has a great deal of homework (more than her friends at private school). Your daughter does not need to enter as a "sophmore" but can probably take harder classes or classes that are more suitable to her level. I would probably advise her to try and join some sort of club or sport to try and make friends.

Well, I didn't think the Neutrogena would react this badly to her. I guess I will give her Benadryl when she gets home and hope that helps.

Recently my daughter has been using some antibiotic cream for acne that her doctor prescribed. I wasn't sure how long she was supposed to use the antibiotic cream and frankly it wasn't clearing her pimples very well so suggested she go back to a name brand over the counter cream I used to buy her. After applying the OTC cream before bed, she woke up to itchy skin and red blotches on her face! She had to get to school so I suggested putting some makeup over it but I think I just made it worse. On a positive note the cream cleared the pimples up. So, I don't know if she had an allergic reaction to the cream. She used to get itchy skin a lot and sometimes redness on her face and now I realize (not sure why I didn't before) that it must have been from that cream when she used to use it regularly. SO, any suggestions? Does anyone have experiences with their kids on creams that worked well? She already doesn't drink milk as we learned that she is lactose intolerant.

Yes, he was taking it once a week. Incidentally, my daughter also had low vitamin D but not nearly as low as my son's. The doctor she was going to recommended a similar dose but twice a week for about three months. My dd was younger, very petite, and I thought the dose might be too high for her. I asked her pediatrician about it since I was concerned and he said that she didn't need that high of a dose since her levels weren't that low.

I think when my son's was really low, he had to take 50,000 IU for several weeks and then take the 2,000 daily. Its just hard getting him to remember to take it every day.

When they are driving with a permit, you do not need to inform But once they get their license, you need to. And yes, the rate goes up a lot.

Ok, I don't know if I would call it a shudder attack but my daughter has had something similar for years. When she was excited as a baby, she would stiffen up - including her arms. (Its hard to describe). As she grew older, it wasn't as obvious, but when she was excited about something, we would watch her arms sort of stretch out and stiffen up and then she was fine. I figured this was something reserved for toddlers but it lasted until she was 10 or 11. Of course, it was usually only observable by her family since we were used to it. And, it wasn't something that happened regularly, just on occasion when overly excited or stimulated.

I, too, had problems with migraines and bc pills. In fact, because of my migraine history, its not an option with me. I find that I have to take something the moment I (think) I feel a migraine coming on. I now take Excedrin for migraines. If she has enough migraines, she will know if one is coming on and then she should take something for it. Also, if it comes around her period, things that don't normally bother her, may. Have her reduce chocolate intake, cheese, etc a week before the period.

My husband makes a good soup with leftover ham/hambone. You can add whatever vegetables - I think he dices potatoes, adds some cabbage and (he also allows some of the head of cabbage sit in there with the ham bone while cooking), he also adds pasta (rigatoni) and white beans. I'm trying to think what else he adds but it is very good and the pasta makes it more filling.
