Or you can go to Insert-->Symbol and there are several to choose from.

I'd be hesitant to use the grinding stones because they heat up faster than the sandpaper and can burn the dog. There is a good article here.

Also, you can use a regular Dremel and just buy the guard.

I ordered the Peticure Power from their website. It was way backordered (3 months wait, I think), so in my impatience I bought the PediPaws when I saw it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I quickly realized the same thing- I'd be going through a lot of batteries, and it just didn't have enough power. The Peticure Power has a cord- the other models use batteries. It's a step up from the Peticure Elite and well worth the additional $10.

I have both a PediPaws and a Peticure, and the Peticure is much better. What kind of dog do you have? The PediPaws might be okay for a smaller dog, but I have a very large dog with thick, tough nails, and the PediPaws just didn't have enough power. I have also tried a regular Dremel, but I find that the plastic guard makes it much easier to use.

She didn't say they couldn't cope. Maybe the schools stink.

I spray CLR cleaner on and let it sit while I clean the rest of the bathroom. Then I use a scrubby sponge on all the surfaces and the gunk comes right off. I clean it once a week.

My dh is on the faculty of a Family Practice residency program. When they have to kick a resident out of the program (academic shortcomings, integrity/honesty/personality issues, etc.), the resident often goes into practice as a GP if they aren't able to find a different residency to accept them. If they have been kicked out of a residency, there is a very good reason to steer clear. Sounds like it isn't an issue in your case.

Depends what you mean by a GP. Among medical professionals (in the US -it varies in other countries) a GP is usually considered someone who has only completed a one year internship after medical school. They are not board certified. In contrast, a Family Practice physician has completed a 3 year residency after medical school. The two terms used to be synonymous, but aren't now. I personally would not be comfortable with a GP unless I knew them very well. I would have no problems taking my kids to an FP rather than a pediatrician, unless they had a very unusual or complicated illnesses. If your doctor calls him/herself a GP, I would look into their credentials. From wiki: United States All medical practitioners must hold a license to practice medicine in the US. The only requirement is that the physician be enrolled or have completed a year of training, more commonly called a rotating internship. The few licensed medical practitioners who do not complete 3 to 10 year residency, are legally allowed to practice medicine in the state where they are licensed. The population of this type of medical practitioner is dwindling, however. Currently the United States Navy has many of these general practitioners, formally known as General Medical Officers, in active practice. The US now holds a different definition for the term "general practitioner". The two terms “general practitioner†and “family medicine†doctor were synonymous prior to 1970. At that time both terms (if used within the US) referred to someone who completed medical school and the 1 year required internship and then worked as a general family doctor or as a hospitalist. Completion of a postgraduate specialty training program or residency in family medicine was at that time not a requirement. A medical practitioner who specializes in “family medicine†must now complete a residency in family medicine, and must be eligible for board certification now required by most hospitals and health plans. It was not until the 1970s that family medicine (formerly known as family practice) was recognized as a specialty in the US.[1] Many licensed family medical practitioners in the United States after this change began to use the term "general practitioner" to refer to those practitioners who previously did not complete a family medicine residency. A family practitioner is licensed to practice strictly family medicine. Family medical practitioners after completing medical school must then complete three to four additional years of residency in family medicine. Three hundred hours of medical education within the prior six years is also required to be eligible to sit for the board certification exam. Between 2003 and 2009 the board certification process is being changed in family medicine and all other American Specialty Boards to a continuous series of yearly competency tests on differing areas within the given specialty. The American Board of Family Medicine, as well as other specialty boards, is requiring additional participation in continuous learning and self-assessment to enhance clinical knowledge, expertise and skills. The Board has created a program called the "Maintenance of Certification Program for Family Physicians" (MC-FP) which will require family practitioners to continuously demonstrate proficiency in four areas of clinical practice: professionalism, self assessment/lifelong learning, cognitive expertise, and performance in practice. Certificates of Added Qualifications (CAQs) in adolescent medicine, geriatric medicine, sports medicine, sleep medicine, and hospice and palliative medicine are available for those board-certified family physicians with additional residency training requirements.

The incidence of brain tumors in adults has actually decreased slightly. Rates have been going up in children. Some of the increase is due to better diagnosis, but that probably doesn't account for all the increase. 3 cases of brain tumors in your church does seem high. You could contact your county health department and ask about local rates. They may be interested in doing a cluster study. Edited: I should add that the causes and environmental risk factors of brain tumors aren't clear, and the disease may be different in kids than adults. So 2 cases in kids in your church is higher than typical, but doesn't necessarily mean anything unusual is happening. Those two cases wouldn't be enough to trigger an investigation, but if your community in general seems to have an unusual number of cases, that might warrant a cluster study.

I'm wondering what your boundaries are. Is reading your child's AIM/email/texting different than, say, reading what they wrote in a diary? I'm a little conflicted about privacy vs. safety and wonder how others are dealing with this.

I'm getting desperate, because everything on the kids' wish list is made in China and I've been trying to avoid that. I finally caved and got the Chinese made snowboard and boots, but I'm still searching for Uggs knock offs.

I love my Honda Pilot!

My daughter's dance schedule (approximately): 3rd grade: 1 day/wk (1.5 hours/wk) 4th grade: 2 days/wk (3 hours/wk) 5th grade: 4-5 days/wk (4-6 hours/wk) 6th grade: 4-5 days/wk (6-8 hours/wk)

If it was a good school, and there were no other opportunities for friendships, I would consider it. I wouldn't be thrilled with it, but I'd consider it. I'm not in the camp that believes middle schools are necessarily horrible evil places. My girls dual enroll, enjoy going to school, and have many ps friends who are good kids. We haven't had any issues at all, and I wouldn't be averse to sending them full time.

The Stand.

I've had this happen. It's rogue and you should get rid of it. If you don't, those pop-ups will get worse and eventually make your computer unusable. When dh gets home I'll ask him how he removed it.

Astrid, I have an oboe you are welcome to if you want it. I played in high school and the first year of college, but haven't played it in 30 years. It needs to be cleaned, tuned up, and have the pads changed. PM me if you are interested.

The only things you have to have are the board and the remote. I like to do rhythm boxing, and for that you need the nunchuk. Those are the only things we use.

I don't know much about him, but here are some articles. At least it's not Linda Darling-Hammond.

There is no one named Stuart Weiss at Boston College. Gallup doesn't have a spokesman named Keith Ventner. It's satire.

No way. That's got to be from the Onion.
