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'm not sure DH would know what his g-mas' middle names were. His father's mum died in the 1920s so not sure how to even find out.
My g-mas' middle names were Janet and Ilonya.
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.

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.

Bothered by this......I voted today ( and have since I turned 18) and have never had to show any identification whatsoever to prove that I'm an American citizen. I have to sign my name but that's it. This REALLY concerns me, anyone else?
Are you required to show identification in your state?
You had to prove you were a US citizen when you registered to vote, right? Why would you need to do it again?

.Shingles cannot be passed from one person to another. However, the virus that causes shingles, the varicella zoster virus, can be spread from a person with active shingles to a person who has never had chickenpox. In such cases, the person exposed to the virus might develop chickenpox, but they would not develop shingles. The virus is spread through direct contact with fluid from the rash blisters, not through sneezing, coughing or casual contact.A person with shingles can spread the virus when the rash is in the blister-phase. A person is not infectious before blisters appear. Once the rash has developed crusts, the person is no longer contagious.
Shingles is less contagious than chickenpox and the risk of a person with shingles spreading the virus is low if the rash is covered.
Not that I'm recommending it...

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)Horner syndrome (ie, relative miosis with 1-2 mm of ptosis on the same side as the headache)Ptosis is a drooping eyelid
So it could certainly be from her migraine.

I'll wear stiletto heels until I can't stand up any more.
I just won't wear them with mini-skirts like I did when I was younger. :D
: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:

Anyway are there any books or links I could pass on?
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.

What does she do that makes her look foolish? I'm afraid of doing that. :blush:I think it is clothing/makeup.
Ok, no short skirts, no stiletto heels. I'm okay so far. :D
Any other specifics?
What kind of makeup is too young?

My MIL is one who tries to look younger than her age and ends up looking foolish.
What does she do that makes her look foolish? I'm afraid of doing that. :blush:

nm, I misunderstood.

Not to derail this thread, but did you see the other dog video in the link at the bottom of that one?
Oh my goodness, we laughed so hard at this one

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.
Most pumpkins commonly sold are large, grainy squash grown for ornamentation, carving... and feeding farm animals. They're not really intended for human consumption. By contrast, "Pie pumpkins" are smaller, sweeter, less grainy textured pumpkins than the usual jack-o-lantern types. -
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.The 13-member panel of experts, convened by the National Institutes of Health, reviewed the available scientific evidence to look for consensus on causes of youth violence and ways to prevent it."`Scare tactics' don't work," the panel concluded in its draft report Friday morning. "Programs that seek to prevent violence through fear and tough treatment do not work."
But if it works, I'm all for it. :)

I called our nurse line (provided by insurance) back in September when a neighbor thought it could be whooping cough. The nurse I talked to when I called said that a) she didn't think it was whooping cough because I hadn't been running any type of fever at all and b) even if it was whooping cough that it was too late to give me anything for it so I would be wasting my money going to a doctor just to be told to go home and rest.
Well, she gave you terrible advice.
First, fever is not common with whooping cough, especially in adults.
Pertussis has an insidious onset with catarrhal symptoms (nasal congestion, runny nose, mild sore-throat, mild dry cough, and minimal or no fever) that are indistinguishable from those of minor respiratory tract infections.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:
