Could be food poisoning, could be rotovirus or some other stomach bug. Keep trying to hydrate like you are - slowly and steadily. I hour you feel better soon!

If you want to try to find an allergist who will do a good challenge try to find one who does oral immunotherapy (OIT). If you need help finding one PM me and I'll help.

I'm so sorry for another set back. I'm praying.

How about mayo on pizza y'all? In Japan and Israel it's a thing. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mayonnaise-pizza-dominos_n_2495421

Y'all missed this (hilarious, peak USA) shooting. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/28/us/charlotte-bus-shooting/index.html The crazy thing they were point blank and they didn't kill each other. As my daughter (who does know to shoot) said, what bad shots!

This is definitely not a club any parent wants to join. But here you are. I think a lot of the other parents in the club (or had a sibling like this) have the right idea. Give this kid some freedom. Get him out of the house into a safe but not particularly nice place. Give him praise as much as you can. Don't give him stuff that you can't afford to get messed up. Invite him to family events as much as you can. We tie some money (help with rent) to things like being in school. We have lent him money and he was diligent in repayment. In those terrible days, we only occasionally texted him, not phone calls and never accusations; only statements and praise. Now the messages are frequent and he asks for advice and other appropriate things. He is not angry anymore, thank G-d. But we had to give him space and time to grow up and see we weren't the enemy. I how you get to that place soon and without too much hard knock learning on his part.

This right here. Even if it's a hidey hole hotel and you have to eat ramen.

What a terrible and unexpected loss. I'm so sorry.

She passed peacefully this morning.

My children are really stepping up and working as a team during this tough time (my mother is at the end of her life). I'm learning even more strongly how absolutely amazing my mother is. I only knew a sliver and with every visitor to her bedside I'm hearing such marvelous stories.

Robert B Parker's Spencer series. I got several to read while mom was sick.

We moved to the hospice home Saturday. She got a respite bed (five days maximum) but she's not going to make it that long I believe. Her lungs are full of fluid and her blood pressure is amazingly low. The Korean community is rallying around her. She has been president of the Korean community in our area for many years and has been a leader in her church as well. We have had so many visitors with tears in their eyes and tell me how my mother was the person who greeted then when they were new to the US. It only confirms that my mother was a true leader. Please pray for a peaceful move to the Next World.

Of course! Praying for divine wisdom for y'all both.

Oh yeah, I sat behind Dr Cornel West on a flight to my parents but I was too awed to say hello to him.

My husband is some kind of cousin relation to Judy Blume; I never met her. Michael Dukakis is my husband's colleague. He and his wife talked my ear off at the last Christmas party! He and my husband take the T (Boston public transportation) together sometimes. Mayim Bialik emailed me about homeschooling. We have a mutual friend and I was the only Jewish homeschooler she knew. I took a couple of breaths and answered her. This was before the Big Bang Theory so I knew her as Blossom.

I grew up in the foothills of NC from the 1980s and I agree with you both. My Black father and Korean mother had one neighbor who wouldn't interact to them. But the others, all good ol' boys and gals, saw the humanity in my parents even though they were of different races. They were certainly the only mixed race couple in the town, probably the whole county; there was only black family group in our county and they certainly didn't go across race lines. But the old neighbor lady who helped us and we helped did sit me down in my teens and told me straight out that miscegenation was completely wrong. My parents didn't get an out. But she respected them nonetheless. But I do agree that there is an easy relationship between Blacks and Whites in the South that doesn't exist elsewhere in the US. It was dead funny to watch my father and a redneck easily chit chat for an hour in front of our house about everything and nothing on Friday. I couldn't see it happening where I currently live, Boston.

Dream sink! Enjoy in good health!

oh, don't say you don't care about color. Black people (should) love their color and culture and everything that goes with that. Colorblindness (no the medical kind!) is not anti-racist. It's more like a White person saying, "I don't WANT to deal with color." Black people HAVE to deal with color every moment they are in greater society.

I'll say as the daughter of an interracial family and interracially married as well, your daughter (and possibly by extension your family) might learn how the world sees Black people and Blackness. I know I specifically had to clue my husband into societal and institutional racism as we dated. White people can think of themselves as not racist and allies, but when they get understanding from a Black person, it's kind of mind blowing what it's like to be a Black person day in and day out. There are many interracial couples on social media where it is clear the White (woman, usually) doesn't get it and it really upsets me. I don't know if it is Black person didn't want to teach their SO anything or that the White person didn't want to listen to their SO.

Where we live (Boston), I haven't seen great pay for lifeguarding ($18/hr) compared to working anywhere else. My son got his certification and was hoping to score a $20/hr job. Nothing...

I took it many years ago. It was a beautiful ride!

Sorry to the group and sorry to @Soror. I should follow my own advice!

You've asked a lot (of odd) questions and I'm not even sure what some of them mean. But you can Google the origins of the Babylonian (and Jerusalem) Talmuds. Off to prepare for the Jewish Sabbath. Ciao!

Can I read things like the Dead Sea Scrolls? Sure! The Hebrew has not changed much. Older than that probably. My question still stands. Can you?

I'm going to regret this, but can you read Hebrew? I can and have studied "scripture", have taught my children and others, and continue to study.
