  1. Has anyone any experience with an Advanced Behavioral Support Therapist. Where they helpful in helping with self regulation? were they more specific than an OT. was it useful and did you think it beneficial seeing one? I have only heard of them yesterday, when my NDIS support coordinator went on holiday and the fill in person rang me to see wat type of OT we were trying to find, then said what I really need is an Advanced Behavioral Support Therapist , not an OT to help with self-regulation.
  2. I do use some dam water on the veggie garden. the flower garden relies on re used water and the weather, so if there is a dry spell it all dies down. it is amazing how it rebounds when it rains
  3. no hats, it will be just about winter at the end of May mostly she wants lots of Gypsophilia flowers , in pink and white will post a copy of the dress pattern picture when it arrives. she wants to modify the back of the dress to not be as low, so we will make a mock up of the bodice in some satin that I have at hand. and do any adjustments etc. we haven't ever undertaken a dress with big adjustments before not something important before anyway. We have done simple pattern alterations like change sleeves etc and that is it really.
  4. Dreamer gal here in Australia well water is pretty rare. Most towns have water from a creek or river. It is treated in big tanks then pumped to the towns. Most rural properties collect rain water and store it in tanks. It it is a hot dry season they pay trucks to come fill up their tanks.. We have tank water. We store enough for 3 months of dry weather with not a drop of rain at normal to us use, but we have managed to strech that out quite a bit.
  5. The groom and his party are looking after their own clothes.
  6. I don't think there will be any dancing as currently dancing isn't allowed under covid rules The reception may be just afternoon tea and small finger food. Very hard to plan without knowing what the situation will be re lockdowns etc.
  7. As Dd and I will have to sew all the dresses we will be keeping the pattern simple. We are going pattern and material buying in a few days. The wedding dress pattern she bought from a vintage pattern collector as she couldn't find what she was after new.
  8. that is a good idea. I think our library has removed all magazines at the moment because of corona
  9. should the bridesmaids and flower girls have similar style dresses? all matching? they area all sisters of the groom, age 4 (niece), 11, 13, 15
  10. dd is going to make a veil. she is going to attach it to a hair slide.{ she thinks}. should the decorations on the hair slide be visible when the veil is down or up?
  11. My Dd is getting married end of May, She and I are planning the wedding, and we are very not in the know about many things. I think I will be adding questions over the next few days Do the groom and groom party have a flower and a hanky thingy in their pocket, or either a flower or hanky thingy? Does the bride continue to wear her veil at the reception, or remove it and wear some nice hair thing? or does she wear the veil part way through the reception and take it off once it starts to get in the way? DD and I are going to make all the dresses , we are both growing the flowers ( hope that part works) it will be a very simple wedding, old fashioned
  12. boy, I wouldn't like that I prefer what I did, have a nice bound book with blank pages and get everyone to write their favorite recipes in it
  13. our hot water tank sits in a tray so if there is ever a leak then it drains into the tray then outside. I have never had a leak or heard of someone having a leak in a roof cavity hot water system. on the ones that sit on the ground outside the house however , they rust and leak
  14. our hot water service is in the roof cavity. We have solar/combustion stove combination hot water. It is very very common in Australia to have the hot water in the roof cavity especially in older houses, so I am guessing there they might have solar hot water as well??
  15. I am so so sorry for your loss Anger is one of the stages of grief. It is normal to feel very angry. I wouldn't recommend talking to inlaws about how hurt you are at the moment. Wait a few months. In intense grief and anger you may say things you might regret later. I lost my father to suicide when I was a child Huge hugs
  16. Does this time travel involve going to a different place? or do we stay in the same location? if staying in the same place I think I will need the biggest water holding container that I could possibly carry.
  17. media here is saying that the mother worked for airplane catering, mostly laundry
  18. Lots of people have been killed by them over the years. Always a very bad idea to put up a tent under a gumtree
