I have a BA in psychology (with an emphasis on biopsych/neuropsych).
I worked at a university lab and then was a behavioral counselor. I was in my first year of grad school for an MA in counseling when I had our first son and quit. I may go back to school someday, but not anytime soon.

It really depends on the child. My oldest was tested at a 10th grade reading level in 4th grade. It certainly would've been inappropriate for him to be actually reading that material, though. So I suppose he read at below his ability for quite some time.
My DD tests pretty much on grade level and my younger DS has had tremendous troubles learning to read, was held back to 2nd grade this year and is now reading at a 2nd grade level.
All that to say, I don't much care what their reading level is, as long as they are not having difficulty in school. As long as they keep reading, I'm happy.

I can just see people wearing these while driving. :glare:
And I think they look dorky and obtrusive.

We have Comcast so we have a 250GB cap. I have no idea how we would ever get to that point, though. According to their usage meter, we used about 80 in January, 90 in February, and 70 in March. We have 2 computers, a phone, 2 iPod Touches, and 4 Kindle Fires - all of which are heavily used. We also stream Netflix thru the Wii on a daily basis.
You should be able to check your usage thru your provider to get an idea how much you typically use.

It's even worse than that. They've killed a ...<gasp>...kitten!
In: iPod Dock. There it is: you're music system and multi-media console all within 5 square inches. These days, good furniture comes in small packages.

Yes! I ♥ kalanamak's "patients say the darndest things" siggy's! They always crack me up because I used to work in the mental health field.

See, this is when it's advantageous to be an introvert...I never would've spoken to the woman to begin with! :D

I would recommend seeing your regular doctor and explaining your symptoms. Some bloodwork would be in order, to check for thyroid function, etc. S/He can prescribe antidepressants if you'd like. That's where I would start if I were you. Hope things get better for you soon. :grouphug:

I was just looking at our end goal and ascertaining where we were at. We will finish everything on time except DS12's math. I've given him the option of doing it Saturday's and thru Spring Break, which will allow him to finish on time, or to extend math for a couple weeks into the summer. Other than that, we are good. They will continue to read thru summer, of course.

This website has some info regarding the abuse at Pinehaven. It contains this bit of good news:
Ordered by the court to be returned home following the culmination of her school year on June 5th, 2012, C****** [name removed by me] will be finally be afforded the ability to be with her family, speak for herself without the censorship of the staff and administration of Pinehaven Christian Children’s Ranch, and have the opportunity to receive the licensed, professional mental and behavioral healthcare she deserves!

Excellent response!

I can see your point. I guess I understand Minnesota's law because I lived there and it's still a rural state. But, you're right, it wasn't on the family farm, and hindsight is always 20-20. I think it's interesting that someone brought up Kansas' laws, because that's not something I necessarily think about when I'm traveling. It's a good point though. If you're from another state and you are traveling with a teenage driver, who wouldn't be allowed to drive in a state you're traveling through, which state are you bound by? Would the police have the right to pull you over? Would you be subject to a ticket?
Yes, you have to obey the laws of the state you are in. I drive thru NH, VT and NY to get to my parents house to visit and I always have to be aware of cell phone laws that are different in every state. Same with seatbelts.

To understand if laws are adequate to protect against poor judgment, and to determine if they should be changed, or if there needs to be better public education. In other words, to work to prevent similar occurrences from happening.
Ok, but Chocolate said that the decision [to allow the boy to drive] should be questioned and criticized, not the law that makes it legal.

Age and training certainly do play a role. A 17-year old really has no business driving a vehicle of that size with that many people in it on the open road, and there is a reason why it is not legal in most states.
It was an accident, but one that was potentially avoidable. Sadly, some family members have paid with their lives, and this young man will be stuck with the guilt. I do not fault him - I fault whomever made the ignorant decision of giving him that much responsibility.
They all are.
This also didn't occur on private property/the farm. Putting a 17-year old in this position was also needlessly risking the lives of others on the road, and that decision should be questioned and criticized.To what end?

Maybe look on Craigslist for a used one (that is newer than yours, of course).

Not to psychoanalyze you or anything :D, but it sounds like you are psyching yourself out because of your anxiety about having a hospital birth. I would recommend that you come up with a detailed birth plan and go over it with your doctor ahead of time. Make sure your DH knows it backwards and forwards, as well. This will give you some control and help to alleviate your stress. Something that really helped me with my third birth was The Thinking Woman's Guide To A Better Birth by Henci Goer. If you can get a hold of a copy, it may help to center your thinking. It helped me. :001_smile:

I found it very easy to use. You will fall into a routine with it. It is designed to be done at your own pace, so a schedule would not make sense. You may fly through several lessons in a row, or you may need to stay on the same one for several days until it is mastered.

Thanks! I put them on my list. :001_smile:

Running is a passive activity?? Um, no. The mental stamina running requires is probably more important than the physical stamina.
