This is a good summary of the evidence against him and counterpoints. I think he's guilty, fwiw. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/scott-peterson-innocence_n_65b98f79e4b05c8779f69a03

Coffee-- I buy two 12 oz bags for about $8 each every week so that is about $400/year, plus I spend about $20/month on K-cups for work, so that is another $120. I don't buy coffee out much at all, so $520/year. Seltzer - I don't care for it much, but teenage son drinks a ton. Probably another $300/year. Alcohol - DH loves expensive beer. I hate to add this up. One four-pack is $12, he drinks at least two four packs a week, that is $1248, but more realistically probably $2k when you count going out with friends. I spend about $60/month on wine, so that is another 720/year. So total $2720 year on drinking! Too much. No tobacco, thankfully.

My dd is starting college in the fall and I estimate she will leave with about 40k in loans between federal loans and then what we need to take out to make up the difference. This is after some grants and scholarships. It's not ideal, but we were not in a position to save for a long time due to paying back our own college loans, etc. We will help her as much as we can to minimize the effect it will have on her future.

Insanely small print on package directions!

How about Tana French or Ruth Ware? I didn't love the newest books of either of these authors, but enjoyed all the previous ones I have read.

I was named after that song too! And another contender was Leda for some reason.

I read it and enjoyed it. I did not see the main character as being written as old at 40. I think you will find if you keep reading that this age was chosen because she is a woman who is mature enough to know who she is, but there is still a lot of opportunity for life to go in different directions.

I dislike being called "hon" by store workers who are clearly younger than me. It feels demeaning in some way. I also really dislike being called "mom" by pediatricians and the like. Would it be so hard to look down at the chart and learn my name? It makes me feel like this interchangeable "mom" figure and not a person.

I am a reading specialist, and I have used Aimsweb. You should definitely see more growth in a first grade student from middle to end of year. Each state and district is different, but in the school where I work, we would not distinguish between IEP and other students in determining Tier 2 reading groups (basically, pullout services). The only difference is that IEP students are guaranteed this extra support and it must be done by a certified teacher or reading specialist. We mix IEP and non-IEP students as long as the group instructor is certified. It sounds like your school has a different approach. However, in that case, considering that he does not have an IEP reading goal, he should definitely be considered for extra reading support along with the general population of kids. Having an IEP in other areas should not make him ineligible for this support. I would definitely fight this, as the classroom reading instruction is not meeting his needs. Good luck!

Try this tahini sauce from an NYT recipe. It's great for grain bowls! 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed 1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons tahini

Nope, never had a McD's fish sandwich. They must have served fish at my elementary school (I seem to have a memory of tartar sauce and the kids calling it Carter sauce because that was our teacher's name), but I never ate it! I rarely ate anything from my school lunches unless it was the rare waffle day. I also didn't drink milk unless it was the rare chocolate milk day. I must have been hungry a lot because I was never allowed to bring cold lunch either as I was a "free lunch" kid.

Taco bar with beans or lentils made with taco seasonings and all the veggies and cheese out to make their own taco, and a pot of rice. My son likes the Beyond Burgers, though I prefer black bean patties, so I buy Beyond Burgers to keep in the freezer for burger night. The website Cookie and Kate has so many yummy veg dishes! https://cookieandkate.com/

I think I may have tried a fish stick once or twice as a kid but other than that no! I really dislike the smell!

No, not allergic, but vegetarian since age 15, and come from a poor midwest family so never had seafood before then!

LOL, no, Minnesota.
