like an allotment garden? like they have in Britain?

congratulations My MIL will get her second dose later next week. she is 99 and in a nursing home in Toronto, Canada

sounds like a fabulous idea

so glad you got to see your daughter

we are all behind stopping the spread of Coronavirus, but getting tad tired of it escaping from returned travelers

Lots of people , me included are thinking that they should stop allowing people to come from overseas and do hotel quarantine in the cities. or any built up area really. some remote location like an old mining camp, or something. Somewhere it cannot get out into the community. it would be better to inconvenience the few than keep shutting down whole states there are still people leaving Australia and trying to return a few months later for frivolous reasons . I have heard of people leaving to go skiing in USA, to take children to visit grandparents in other countries etc. then crying the blues when they find it hard to come back again.

Masks to be warn the second you leave your house. In towns and cities there is grocery delivery. Melbourne had the longest stage 4 lockdown in the world last year. They have it down pat There is a 5 km limit on distance you can travel I live more than 18 km from the closest very small town. I usually travel 90 km to a supermarket. But I keep one month food on hand (because of remote location) so will not need to go out. The premier did say that in rural areas they understand you will have to drive further than 5 km to closest shop

There are calls by the trucking industry to have snap border closures to happen in daylight, not at midnight.

All of Victoria to go into snap lockdown stage 4. Not allowed to leave home except medical or essential shopping, only 2 hours exercise a day, all weddings and sport etc. cancelled. only essential shops to be opened. Not to travel more than 5 km from home. All schools closed There is a outbreak of the UK strain currently at 18. People are transmitting within 2 days of contact and before they test positive

Hugs Time, it takes lots of time and even then it comes in waves

If it is an adoption I could see a welcome to the family celebration

I have nothing to say re the will, but wanted to send hugs and so sorry you are dealing with another layer of stress. 😞

I agree that it is totally wrong, but that is how it is being reported. Of course a person ( male or female) who kills their kids is mentally unstable and it is also domestics violence.

Just saying Many people get the flue very mildly. They think they have a headcold and that is it So you cannot say for certain that you have never had the flue

I mediate family would be 32. Groom has 10 siblings, one has children. Some have partners. My Dd has 6 siblings, 3 have partners With no friends at all, just adding my siblings and families plus grooms parents siblings it would be 98 She doesn't want a big wedding, she thinks 98 is too many and if she invites one unkle then she feels she would have to invite them all. She also thinks 32 too many but how do you not invite direct siblings of the bride and groom when the groom still lives at his parents house with the majority of his 10 siblings........ If just his siblings are invited an not any of Dd siblings it would be awful awful awful

What would you do if you had a dd21 who is getting married? Encourage her to elope? We are really are struggling on what to do

So so sorry

Australia hasn't started vaccinations at all yet. We went for elimination here in Australia, mostly successfully, but there are still people arriving in Australia from overseas. They do a mabdotory 14 days quarantine, but in the last week there has been 4 cases of transition to staff. In 4 different states. This immediately results in snap lockdowns and reduced numbers at gatherings for the whole state

I am not invited to my brother's wedding in April, he is tryi g to limit it to under 90 people. I have 7 children, most of them have partners. By not inviting me or any of my children he has 14 less in his count. He us so stressed out with all the planni g etc, as here in Australia it only takes a few coronavirus cases to completly shut down everything. I am not upset in the slightest. A line has to be drawn somewhere. Dd and I are struggling to plan her wedding. With just immediate family, it is up to 32.withmy siblings and families it willbe 98. Who knows what will happen with coronavirus by August/September . We very well may be I. Lockdown by then and only allowed 5. Which would mean I wouldn't be able to go. Which would be painful.

something I have observed recently is that if the male is the one who kills his kids/ partner then himself it is called domestic violence, but if the female kills her kids/ partner then herself it is called a mental health problem.

Ops I posted before I read the 2nd page

I would think the drawback would be getting the elderly person out. A lifting machine may be needed

I was under the impression that you use AAR1 first then use AAS 1 while you are doing AAR2. That is the way I have used it, though I may be doing it wrong. I have always found that teaching spelling reinforces the phonics learned in teaching reading and vise versa. though I have always had children with dyslexia or in the case of my twins FASD learning difficulties

don't feel guilty you have enough on your plate as it is. Frail elderly people find having a shower very exhausting. even if they are seated while having the shower, even if someone else is doing the showering of them. Often then need rest afterwards

If it is just for a month then sponge baths will work. When I was in aged care. I would go to elderly peoples houses and give them a shower once a week. That was their only bath or shower for the week. Lots of older people have only ever has a shower or bath once a week their whole lives I think There is an attachment thingy you can get that sort if sprays water for sponge baths. They sometimes use them in hospitals for people who cannot be moved and are in bed for a while. I know someone who was in a bad motorbike accident and could not be moved
