  1. I agree something is wrong - they just haven't done the right test or interpreted the results right.

     

    Age really doesn't matter when it comes to menopause/perimenopause. It could be. It could also be some other hormone issues. It could be a lot of things from allergy to autoimmune disease. It could also be effects of the ED. Sometimes it takes the body a long time to recover from an ED, and sometimes when you are getting better you feel worse. My sister has struggled with an ED.

     

    You need a more thorough work up.

     

    Look for a Functional Medicine doctor. You can find a practitioner and learn more at this website. There are quite a few in PA.

  2. As the owner of a shop (not typical repair-so a little different) I can give you the bottom line. The faulty pump isn't their fault. The pump manufacturer will (eventually) refund them for the pump (sometimes several months from now). The labor is time. They pay the employee to replace it...twice. Not fair for anyone. Who should pay? The employee---no way, the shop? well do that too many times and you are yesterday's news, the pump manufacturer--yes, but the warrenty plainly states "not gonna happen".

    What we usually do in these circumstances is have the customer pay labor at half price and supplies at our cost. That way no one eats all of the costs. For us, a bad part means lots and lots of labor time (we build engines and you have to take the whole thing apart) so we try to be as fair as we can.

    It is standard to guarantee the part not the labor. My dh works in the car business and it's very typical when this happens.

     

    It's not their fault the pump was faulty. You actually can ask about where they get their parts. There is no way for them to know if one is faulty.

     

    It's an unfair situation, but I agree with Lara that it's not fair to the shop or the mechanic either to have to eat the cost.

     

    I would ask if they would be willing to discount their labor.

  3. She obsesses and panics. .

     

    She definitely has anxiety issues but this is not really part of that. I mean, she isn't really obsessing over it but rather wanted to know what she can do with her condition in case it did happen. She is all for self defense and we were going to check on mace laws, etc.

     

     

    But you said she obsesses and panics that gave me a different idea. I think it is wise for college girls to be armed with information/tools to protect themselves from rape. All women should because it's a real threat. It's not that rape doesn't happen. In fact, I know someone who got pg as a result of rape in college.

     

     

    She should be prepare, but obsessing over it to the point of panic is an overreaction unless she has been raped or is at real risk in the moment. I think that is why you got the responses you got.

     

    It's good that she's getting counseling. Tell her to I agree use an escort!!

  4. I have been that friend. It's hard when you feel so overwhelmed that you can't keep up relationships. In fact, I am just this week coming out of the overwhelmingness of my life! (Is that a word?) I finally had to let go of a job I was doing to help make ends meet to get my life back.

     

    RAD is tough - especially with one being severe. Working night shift makes it hard to keep up with things because it's a different schedule from everyone else.

     

    The friendships that survived that time are the ones who understood. I just talked to a dear friend yesterday after not talking to her for more than 12 months. And she was so gracious and didn't make me feel bad for not calling her back the last time she called.

     

    Send her a card and a note!

     

    Is it possible she is struggling with depression?

  5. I agree with Karyn, if this is inducing that much anxiety then perhaps going away to college isn't the best idea. Is she really prone to passing out?? I would think I'd look into medications to raise her BP.

     

    :iagree:

     

    My mom has Factor V Leiden and low blood pressure. And there are things she can take to prevent pregnancy.

     

    Does she pass out often?

     

    If this were my daughter, she wouldn't be going to college. The anxiety is a bigger concern to me. This level of anxiety over something that probably won't happen tells me she's not ready to go away to college on her own.

  6. Oh! He looks like a Walker to me! I hope you have a lot of energy! We had one. We were told he was a beagle puppy too. Somewhere on the way to 75 lbs we discovered he was a Treeing Walker Coonhound.

     

    They need a lot of exercise - both physical and mental. They are dogs who will high strung if not challenged enough. The love to work.

     

    They also are very affectionate - they think they are lap dogs. Ours would literally lay on us. He's lay on my feet when I was cooking, climb in my lap when I was on the couch. They need a lot of attention and affection. He would also lay on the kids. They are very gentle in spirit and never aggressive in a mean way. But they are strong. Our dog knocked me over many time and twice he pulled me off my feet when we were walking. (I am not a petite lady either at 5'11") He was hard for the kids to walk, but he loved the kids. They are great with other pets - dogs, cats.

  7. Hmm.

     

    I don't think it went far enough.

     

    If the situation were reversed, a homeowner usually doesn't get to just had over a check once it gets to the police confication point and wipe the slate clean. At that point, it is usually too late.

     

    I think the foreclosure should have proceeded same as any other. Once again the bank got more rights than a homeowner would have.

     

    Otherwise, I loved both the articles.

    :iagree:

  8. My dh is ADD - it's hard! I have been reading the ADHD Effect on Marriage. It's been helpful for both of us.

     

    Well I'm not married to anyone with ADD. However my husband claims he is!

     

    Jackass bought me a tee shirt that says "I don't have ADD I just - OH look! A bunny!"

     

    We have a very similar joke in our house that keeps us from killing each other. When he's being particularly distracted and I am getting annoyed, he stops midsentence and says "squirrel!"

     

    Just like the dogs from UP seen here.

     

    It makes me laugh and it's his way of recognizing how hard it is for me to have to be his brain or to repeat something for the millionth time.

  9. I like AAS in the early years. But once they can be independent, I love Phonetic Zoo because even though it's pricey it's not consumable. This is great for a family. We have fewer kids, but it's cheaper in the long run than workbooks.

     

    I did use The Grammar of Spelling with my oldest before we discovered AAS for spelling before she was ready for Phonetic Zoo. We have just started using their advanced set with our oldest. It is unfortunately at the moment not available. It seems like they are improving it.

  10. Sorry I'm totally hung up on that numbers. It can't be 900 hours in school that would be that kids are only in school half of the year.

     

    Well our schools have 170 days (that's half a year) and 7 hours but that includes lunch/recess. So actual school hours are 1020.

     

    That would take not quite 3 hours a day all year around to exceed school hours. 4 hours a day is 1460 hrs a year.

    You know they often spend more than that on weekends and summers. I think it's very accurate that the average American kids does spend that much more time watching TV.

  11. I would not want to be away from DH for all but five days a month, no matter how much money. The exception would be if it was for a year or two and would let us put away a LOT of money, then it might be worth it for a short time.

     

    I also don't think I'd want to be traveling continually. It sounds like fun, but I think it would probably get old quickly (and expensive).

     

    I think I'd be looking into keeping the cafe, and maybe hiring a manager at least part-time, so that I could quit my other job. Then the kids and I could travel with DH some of the time but not *have* to.

     

    :iagree:

     

    We would do it for a while - keeping the cafe as something to come back to later.

  12. We had a good year with it. My 7th grader did it, and she earned a silver medal on the NLE.

     

    She did Henle I in 6th and a couple years before that. So she is not new to Latin. I felt the need not to move onto Henle II with her. But repeating I didn't seem necessary. So we tried something different.

     

    I didn't teach it. We did an online class. She will do LNM2 in the fall in an online class with Latin and Classics.

  13. My 5yo absolutely loved CC. But she was a girl. Having older siblings (especially 2 older siblings) in the program helps. A lot. I would not put a 5yo oldest sibling in CC. Youngers, however, work out much better.

    :iagree: I have had a boy and girl start at five (not the oldest though) they have both done well.
