  1. It sounds to me like you could use a little distance. Have you considered moving?
  2. Put them in a brown paper bag. They give off ethylene gas as they ripen that will ripen them faster by being encased. You can speed the process by placing other fruit that is ripe that gives off ethylene gas at a high rate with them in the bag, like an apple, or a ripe banana. You can also place them somewhere warm, as heat speeds up chemical processes. If they are somewhere too cold, the chemical process will be interrupted and cannot be restarted, so they won't ripen.
  3. My husband died 2 years ago from cancer. Our children were 10 and 7 at the time. Books were OK, depending on what they were about. Movies or music were better because they took less effort, and energy becomes very valuable. If they are advice about death, dying, or alternative treatments, it gets really old, really fast. (Everybody wants to tell you what you should eat, what magic drink there is, the magical prayer that prevents death from cancer, etc... when you have cancer) The best thing you can do is spend some time with them making some good memories, let them share on their terms (let them set the boundaries), and be available as a friend.
  4. Look up Encopresis. It's the medical term for what you are describing and will give you some more information about the causes.
  5. I bought a few sets at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They had quite a few to choose from at the time (not sure about now) with varying prices. :001_smile:
  6. I like the garbage disposal on the side nearest to wherever the switch for it is at. It bugs me when the switch is on the opposite side. :tongue_smilie:
  7. :001_smile: I would ask the Dr. for guidelines regarding visitors and abide by those.
  8. I would be asking for Extra Credit for having to come in and retake the test!
  9. That has never happened with mine. Have you tried to google it and see if it is a known problem?
  10. I would have stuck my ground. You set a limit, and told him to ask. He didn't. He got his way (kind of) anyway. The reason this keeps happening is because he keeps winning (sometimes). He is trying to find the boundaries. For my children, I would set a limit, such as no to a certain item. If they continued to ask (or whine) I would tell them that there would be a discipline for asking anymore. If they continued, even once, there was a discipline for not respecting my answer. This cuts the whining, and helps the child to respect what the limits are. Good Luck. Also, not to bash your hubby, I'm sure he was trying to help, but giving into picking him up when you said no undermines your authority.
  11. My 6th grade son is also using chalkdust P-A this year. My plan is for him to do Chalkdust Algebra next year as long as he continues to do well this year.
  12. Often rapid weight loss means unhealthy or surgical means. It sounds like you are choosing a smart and committed plan though, so just ignore those that question your new-found energy and toned body! ;)
  13. I am one of those weird cases, and have had this 3 times. Apparently I have anatomy that has a narrow passage for the facial nerve to pass through, so when I get a sinus infection it pinches the nerve and then I have Bell's Palsey. I have minor residual symptoms (slight paralysis where half my face doesn't work quite as well as it used to, no-one notices except me). One thing that is important is to get the med's (steroids) as quickly as possible, it is shown to reduce the time that symptoms occur for. Also, you must either tape the eye shut, or wear a patch (especially at night) and use eye drops or better yet, eye ointment, because the eye cannot blink to protect itself and keep the tear film on the eye to keep it from drying out. They also have me take antibiotics, but that is probably not necessary for you. Also, after having had this happen the first time, I was able to tell the day before for each subsequent time that I was going to have it again before there were observable symptoms by the odd sensation in my face. So, you might want to mention that if the odd feeling happens again to let you know right away so that you can get the med's as soon as possible. Hope that helps!:001_smile:
  14. Honestly, your sis should be grateful that your Dad isn't pressing charges against her for theft, check fraud, and identity theft. She probably needs someone to tell her like it is, that she is so way out of bounds that she can't even see the line of right from wrong where she is. Maybe this is or isn't your place, depending upon your relationship with her. That being said, I'm sorry that you are stuck in the middle of this situation but happy that your Dad is in a safe environment living with you again.
  15. I agree that he sounds depressed. I would look into options that would address that such as finding something that he could do that would give him fulfillment; a hobby, volunteering, etc... (feeling like you don't have a purpose anymore is common with age, finding meaning to life helps aleviate depression) look into activities that he could get involved in, such as church groups, senior activity center, etc.... see if other family members would be willing to visit on a regular basis, giving him something to look forward to, and bringing his favorite foods so that they could eat together.
  16. Sorry, but you need to lighten up. ;) It's just a light-hearted song that was meant in fun and makes the children laugh.
  17. If your goal is a back-up career, accounting is what I would choose. PA school is intense, and after you finish, you will have to keep up your continuing education and have enough work hours that you keep your license valid. PA school is also expensive (although a great career). It seems like you could do accounting part time from home to keep up your skills easily.
  18. OR... Put out some pamphlets about the importance of breast examinations... Lol! :D
  19. I had that problem with my DVD player. I used the cleaning disc, problem solved, and it has been over a year now with no more problems. :001_smile:
  20. :iagree: I love my Zella workout pants. They wash great and wear well.
