My aunt has two residences. When she leaves one she puts it in "suspension" status so only one bill at a time but one house is always suspended. That wouldn't work for your situation. We shared our cable login with our adult son so he could use it for certain sports events. It seems like it he had trouble with it sometimes but usually worked but he didn't use it on a regular basis.

We are pro-bench at our house. We had a table built by an Amish furniture company about 20 years ago and had a long bench on one side. It is still my favorite place to sit during our school day. In fact, I had the house to myself last week and still sat on the bench rather than any of the other chairs that were available. My 12yodd and 14yods still sit on it for pretty much every meal. Yes, when more than two people need to be on it, it is awkward to get in and out but we haven't found it to be too much of an issue in our family. I really like that we can put four grandkids on it together. Makes our dining table space much more flexible as far as numbers are concerned.

Over the past few years I've seemed to develop a sensitivity to sunscreens. The first time it happened I had used a mineral based sunscreen and broke out in a horrible rash so I switched to using a "baby" version that my daughter-in-law had left here and it was fine. I forgot last Saturday at a fair and used the regular that everyone else was using and then it took me until Wednesday last week to figure out why I had a rash (I'm a bit slow - lol!) Yesterday was an air show so I made sure to take my baby version and confidently used it but now I'm broken out in a rash again . . maybe not as bad as last week but it's still there and it's early days. Are there any brands that may not have the same components or is the only solution to cover up more (I hate that idea). I used an umbrella yesterday so I probably didn't even need the sunscreen so much so I'm really annoyed at myself! If you have this issue is there a brand that you've found might work? I need to try the sensitive skin versions before I give up but I'm almost afraid to now.

I just started using a Google pixel 5a and it's been a great upgrade for me. We had always had low-end Motorola's before and I wanted something with a better camera and it has accomplished that.

People who will not move their cars over one inch when passing someone walking on our country road. No sidewalks and very little traffic so most will swing out into the other lane to give me room on my morning walks but almost every morning there are the two same cars, driving at a higher speed than everyone else who do not move over at all so I end up needing to step into the ditch. It's just so unnecessary!

He had two accidents during the morning and then the daycare received the toilet insert (or went and got one? That part wasn't clear) and he was completely normal the rest of the day. Hopefully the problem is solved.

I agree and I hope my dd pursues the whole story. I'm not sure how many kids the facility has but I do know they have multiple rooms for different ages so maybe the insert disappeared into another room and no one thought how important it was to him? This place really has been an excellent fit to the point that my dd has turned down jobs that would take her too far away from this daycare. I'm sure she'll be pursuing the issue today and I'm praying that it gets resolved. To me it seems so obvious, but maybe with his sickness in the middle (whatever that was) it obscured and interrupted his daycare time enough that they didn't realize what was going on.

Wednesday morning update: My dd loaded him up on fluids as much as she could before taking him to daycare this morning and took him in to use his normal bathroom. Despite being told repeatedly by the teacher that they used a toddler insert in the adult sized toilet, there was none to be found. So, they have him on an adult seat with no insert and just tell him to hang on. He is not a big 2.5 year old (he was a premie and weight has always been a concern) and is used to using a toddler potty at home. We may have just found the problem. My dd asked about it and got a vague answer that there used to be one but it had disappeared and they had just ordered a new one yesterday. So we think that they had one when he first trained six weeks ago, it disappeared and probably around the time he got sick they were forcing him to use the larger toilet which stressed him out, on top of whatever virus he had! I would not want to be the teacher or administrator at the daycare today - my younger kids were cringing at the thought of their sister's anger over this whole thing!

She is going to check for pinworms tonight because he has been really restless at night and itching his bum. His dad picked him up early from daycare and he urinated as soon as they got home but then he laid down on the couch for several hours. I think she's going to take him to a clinic attached to their children's hospital tomorrow. I'll update as soon as I know anything.

I'm going to pass this on to her. Thank you souch for all the responses so far.

When I first googled his symptoms last week the acute hepatitis was the first thing that came up. My dd saw that, too but Dr. didn't seem alarmed

The white poo was only one or two times andy DD has been watching for yellowish eyes but he seems normal in that regard

He talks fairly well for his age but he's not even three so communication is kind of limited. Up until Friday/Saturday he would say his belly hurt when offered food or drink. I'm not sure what's going on today in that regard.

I was very concerned about the white poos but it seemed like the dr. just wrote it off. I'll mention it to her. I feel like the dr. and nurses are sometimes just writing off her concerns because she is a first time mom. I hate that. It makes me thankful for the patient pediatrician I had when my first was little.

And he was at my house all day Sunday, and was perfectly normal. He maybe even ate more than usual - we figured he was trying to make up all the lost calories of the previous week and a half.

I suggested loading him up with liquids tomorrow morning before he goes to daycare and then taking him to the daycare bathroom herself during drop-off just to see what happens. She liked that idea and thought it was worth a try.

Yes, at least he has been since Friday night.

No new teacher, just a new "helper" in the afternoon but my dd was told that the same teacher who has always taken him to the bathroom is still doing that and it hasn't changed. I wondered, too, about covid. My dd had it. He was sick with a minor cold at the same time but never tested positive and tested negative again last week at the first drs. appointment.

Yes, this is what my dd and I discussed today but absolutely nothing has changed at school. He has been going to the same daycare for over a year. Some teachers have changed but his core teachers are the same. Sippy cup available all day with either milk (mealtimes) or water at all other times. He had no trouble for a month or so at the daycare with the toilet - they use an insert in a regular toilet. My dd is checking today about purchasing the same toddler toilet he uses at home to take into the daycare. He doesn't complain about going to daycare at all . . in fact, dd said that on Saturday morning he asked about all his friends because he hadn't been there for a week and wanted to play with them. I guess he listed them all out and then asked about seeing his teachers. That's why she is concerned that it is something more medical/physical going on.

My dd just gave me permission to post this to see if any of you have any ideas what could be going on with her son. He is 2.5 years, freshly potty-trained (like in the past two months) - that might be relevant. About two weeks ago, the daycare called my dd on a Thursday afternoon about 3 telling her that dgs had not urinated all day. She immediately went and picked him up and he went when they got home. Then that night he refused to eat or drink and had a low grade fever. That continued the next day with the addition of diarrhea that was very light colored (she called it white). She called the doctor who wasn't concerned and said he must be constipated. Told her to give him a probiotic and withhold dairy. That's what she did through the weekend. He had the fever off and on through Sunday morning. He still wasn't eating, but no more diarrhea and no problems urinating so she sent him to daycare on Monday morning. They didn't tell her until pick up time that he hadn't been eating or drinking all day and that he had another fever. Tuesday morning she took him to the dr. who ran an urinalysis and culture because they were assuming it was a uti. She could see the lab results on Tuesday night and by internet research saw that his ketones and protein numbers were way off. He continued to not eat or drink normally Tuesday and Wednesday and continued with the fever controlled by Tylenol. Wednesday night he broke out with a rash on legs, stomach and back (poor baby), continued with fever so she called the dr. back on Thursday morning. They said the culture didn't show anything so they were going to say he had roseola (because of the rash - but they had diagnosed him with roseola about a year ago). Fever disappeared when rash broke out but on Thursday night he developed a cough (I was supposed to watch him on Friday but she called it off because he had been up all night coughing). Cough disappears by Saturday morning. He gets up eats huge meals all day on Saturday and seems perfectly normal on Sunday. Today, daycare calls to tell her that he's refusing to urinate for them. Has been there since 8:30 a.m. and no peeing as of now which is 3:30. This is a kid who was normally visiting the restroom every hour or so (part of that is probably newly potty-trained awareness). She called the nurse again and nurse informs her that he is just dehydrated and to not expect a call back from a dr. because this is between her and the daycare. She is at her wit's end. She knows about this board (grew up hearing about all of you guys!) and asked if anyone has any ideas on what could be going on with her sweet little guy. She's considering taking him to a clinic at the local children's hospital to get a different pair of eyes on him. If it makes any difference, he was an easy kid to potty-train. My dd had covid about six weeks ago and decided it would be a great time to try it since they were stuck at home for a week. By the time he went back to daycare after that week, he was in regular underwear and has only had one accident at daycare which was on the first day he was back.

It's a new conspiracy theory for 2022. One of my fb friends posted about it, basically saying the world was going to end on the day the Hadron collider was fired up (July 5th - I think).

We used them for Chemistry and Physics this year and my kids say they wouldn't have made them through without the videos. We didn't start out with them but by about the sixth module it was obvious that they needed some help so I found these available and we started using them immediately. They both found them very helpful.

It makes me crazy. I have been known to ask if they have lost their ear buds.
