:iagree:

It varies widely depending on the state. Not all states allow charter schools. My state allows them, but the laws are so prohibitive that it makes it extremely difficult to get one started, so we have very few.

I :001_wub: Newfies, but I can't tolerate drool. We bought a Leonberger, because it was the closest thing to a Newfie that doesn't drool. She was a fantastic dog, but unfortunately, she didn't live long. I'd go for a Newfie if you really don't mind the slobber.

I've always bought farmhouse style dining tables that look better with a little added character :) I have this from Pottery Barn although they don't make it anymore. It's been well loved, and has lots of dings and scratches. I think it looks great. And in my kitchen I have a custom farm table made from reclaimed wood from a local barn. Obviously, I don't care if it gets banged up, as the wood is 100 years old.

We called them colors when I was young. Many years ago...

I have a subscription to Ancestry.com and access to tons of genealogical databases. If you are interested in finding out, pm me and I might be able to help you.

I saw a triptych at Pier 1 that I would love to have, but it's too large for the area I have in mind. It looks like something that wouldn't be hard to make, if you had the right materials. For some reason, it's not on the Pier 1 website, but it was similar to this: The background was a wood panel, and the branches were made of some kind of whitish putty/glue/goop material. Any suggestions for what you could use to re-create this? Thanks.

I know how frustrating that is. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: But I'm going to do it any way. :D Were they by any chance talking about a ketogenic diet? There is actually good evidence that it can dramatically help some people with seizures.

You had to prove you were a US citizen when you registered to vote, right? Why would you need to do it again?

.Not that I'm recommending it...

Here's an example:

I would definitely have her see her doctor, however... Some people with migraines have Horner syndrome Miosis is constriction of the pupil (smaller than the other side)Ptosis is a drooping eyelid So it could certainly be from her migraine. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

:lol::lol::lol: I've never worn heels in my life. I'm not coordinated enough. I did just buy a pair of tall black boots and now I'm all paranoid that I'm too old for them.:glare:

I'd give them a copy of WTM, tell them it's the education I wish I had had, and that I sure didn't get it from ps. If that doesn't convince them, nothing will, and I'd refuse to engage any further.

Ok, no short skirts, no stiletto heels. I'm okay so far. :D Any other specifics? What kind of makeup is too young?

What does she do that makes her look foolish? I'm afraid of doing that. :blush:

nm, I misunderstood.

I don't think you're getting enough fat in your diet. Have you read Gary Taubes "Why We Get Fat" or "Good Calories, Bad Calories"? It has totally changed my way of thinking about weight loss.

Here are some instructions. A Jack-0-lantern isn't the same as a pie pumpkin.

I'm very open with my kids about sex and reproduction, and the video wouldn't bother me a bit. However, I don't know how useful it is. I'm all about the evidence--does it work? Does it cause harm? Will it backfire? In general, scare tactics don't work with teens, and in some cases actually increase the targeted behavior, not decrease it. I've seen a number of examples of interventions that actually backfired. It really irks me when schools adopt an approach like this without looking at the consequences. But if it works, I'm all for it. :)

Well, she gave you terrible advice. First, fever is not common with whooping cough, especially in adults. CDC Second, if you suspect pertussis, it would be good to get a diagnosis so that people that you've exposed can be notified and treated. If your cough is getting worse, you should go in. There are several things it could be that could be treated. A worsening cough in a smoker shouldn't be ignored. Hope it's something easy to treat. :grouphug:
