  1. The same is true in the US. After living in the city for years, I had completely forgotten about the one finger wave on rural roads, and my brother had to tell me I was being rude.
  2. Soror, congrats again! I was telling dh about this (because he's always telling our dc to look for ways to increase their skills in any job they have), and he suggested your dh might be able to add in a side hustle consulting robotic repair, even via Zoom.
  3. It's a year later, and I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Anyone?
  4. Spryte -- Whatever happened with this?
  5. I tried to use Zumdahl's World of Chemistry with my oldest, and I didn't understand chemistry well enough to make it work. We switched to Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 2nd ed., the text by Jay Wile (Apologia), and it was a bit of a slog, too. My two dc who used that text didn't remember much long term. My third used the Georgia Public Broadcasting video course Chemistry: A Study of Matter with associated print materials; I purchased the teacher materials from GPB (see the fine print at the beginning) Even though the course looks easier, it's still solid. As the live instructor, you do have a certain amount of organizing and planning to do each week. Obviously, a lot of the success really depends on the individual student, but my dc went on to take honors chemistry at university and did great.
  6. Praying for your ds and for all of you.
  7. How cool that she wants to do it! Just to ensure she follows through, you might want to provide her with a pen and an am/pm checklist, so she can document that it was done. Nothing fancy -- just a visual reminder for her and proof for you.
  8. Wow, you really don't like it! Maybe tomorrow it will be windier. Or if the item turns out to be impervious to wind, maybe you can find a spot where you won't notice it as much. Regardless, I hope you can find some peace about it.
  9. It's likely department specific. He should look on university websites for admission requirements for the PhD. programs he is interested in. It will vary by school, but since his degrees are related to the PhD. he wants, it may be fine.
  10. Could you put out a call for info on the NextDoor app in your city? You might find an established group or a few others interested in getting together.
  11. If you can try the 4-wheeled ones in person, that's even better. Some steer better than others when all 4 wheels are on the ground. Better steering is really helpful in preventing your arm from getting tired from the weight when it's tipped onto 2 wheels, as well as on airplanes when you are trying to steer it down the aisle. Happy shopping!
  12. Mine were removed by a dentist. I had some nerve damage, but I don't know if using an oral surgeon would have made a difference. I swelled up like a chipmunk, as they didn't recommend ice packs back then. All three of my dc had theirs out by an oral surgeon. The one with the most swelling refused to use ice packs after the first day. The next two were careful to use ice packs 20 min on and 20 off for two days, and they had no or very minimal facial swelling.
  13. Out of respect for your mom's privacy, I would leave out her goat comment and the mention of her dementia, while still including that he lovingly cared for her in her later years. I have no real opinion about the dog comment.
