My husband uses the nosepiece. There are many different masks and they should have worked with him to find something moderately comfortable. It takes time to get used to it.

Get the insurance. We had an incident this year and my daughter met her out of pocket max. Our liability was limited to about $6000. It is similar insurance to what you are offered. This incident was around $100,000 but the insurance knocked it down so they paid around $50,000 and we have to pay our $6000. A few years ago my daughter got a ear infection that resulted in a hospitalization. This ran about $35,000 but once again we only ended up paying a few thousand. We pay around $1200 a month but so worth it. It also lowers our tax liability. I know that we will get medical care and we won't go bankrupt.

Please add me. I'm up to 2 adult children. 1 is newly 18 and in high school the other is a fully self-sufficient adult

I have a child who can do very complex problems in his head. Even when doing AOPS I would just see some very small amount of chicken scratching and hard to find answers. He ended us switching to a charter school and has learned to show his work and to clearly mark answers in college Algebra. He lost credit on simple silly things at the beginning but wanting an A was the motivation it took. I totally stayed out of it. I'm glad that I didn't fight harder with him at home and let someone else teach that lesson.

Things are not equal at all in my family but we have a huge spread in ages and needs. My oldest is getting 1 medium gift($25), a stocking and cash ($250) because she is saving for her wedding. The next child down is getting a chrome book, a stocking and 1 gift that is about $20. She is graduating from high school this year so she could use a laptop. The next is getting some clothing, video games and a board game. We spent the least on him. With other relatives he is getting everything on his list. He has few needs or wants. We spend the most on him in normal life. Tons are spent on gymnastics including trips to Las Vegas, Utah and (if he qualifies) Orlando. This will all happen February -May. The 10 year old is getting an Ozobot, a Pokemon game, some wolf books and a few small things. The 4 year old we bought too much for but overall spent not too much. I probably will hold a few things and dole them out as needed this winter. Things like new paint, the Paddington books and maybe one of the games I bought. These will help the winter blues come February or March. Basically everyone's needs were taken care of plus the kids all are getting many of the things they want. The 10,16, and 17 year old will all end up sharing books, video games, board games and movies so they all end up very happy at Christmas.

Yes we love the meat mace. Have no clue what it's called but love it. I love their spatulas especially the big scoopy one. Like their pizza cutter and love stone ware.

We were mailed ballots this week. It's really nice to be able to look up the different candidates/issues. We can then drop them off at a bunch of different places including the local library. Way easier for my husband since I can drop it off for him. There are secure drop boxes and attended locations. It can be mailed in but that is not recommended since it needs to be received by Election Day not just post marked.

My parents have been doing a family vacation for the last bunch of years. Not everyone can make every vacation. Typically we are responsible for transportation and extra activities during it. Sometimes we have needed to cover $100-$200 per person extra on an expensive trip. They vary from smaller less expensive trip like to Yellowstone and more expensive ones like cruises. The point of them is to gather as a family. They have covered full vacations for our family when my husband was a grad student. I'm so grateful that they covered the cost and we were able to spend the time together. We will continue to cover vacations for our children until they are able to pay on their own. I missed out on several trips as a young adult not because my parents wouldn't pay but because I couldn't miss class or other important things. If I wanted a trip to be a family vacation I would cover costs for all children. You just don't know how many chances there will be to travel together.

Good luck. We had debt collectors calling us forever when we moved and got a new phone #. Truly awful. They wouldn't stop calling even when we asked them to because we weren't the people they were looking for and only those people could give permission to stop calling. I should have looked for legal ways to stop it but I was too busy. We also go a phone call from Wells Fargo saying our home was going to forclosure soon. We were about 4 month into a new mortgage with them. After talking to them a bit we figured out that they were looking for someone else. They were great. They fixed the info in their system and that was the only call we got about that. For sure tell them to stop calling but don't count on it

So late to the party but I saw a code for $10 off Jake2016 Last Saturday we went to a rehearsal and it was awesome. They did a chalk talk Nastia was the host for that. We heard from 8 gymnasts but I heard from one of the gymnasts that it will normally be 4. We didn't see the whole show but we loved what we saw. I have heard of injuries occurring during previous tours and looking at the inadequate matting I can tell why. We only saw 4 routines and women's gymnastics was not really in those. We wish they were doing a show closer to our location.

Just be careful if you had a home birth . Sigh......

We have a Cassandra Rose. She was our exotic name pick. We have fairly classic name choices. I always did include a Saint name. You have had some very lovely suggestions on this thread .

I would try to add soccer if possible even if you have to cut back at gym for a bit. Gymnastics has done so much for my boys that I wouldn't want them to quit unless they didn't like it anymore. My 15 year old will be competing level 10 this year and gymnastics has really helped him become so responsible. His work ethic has grown a ton also. I didn't see a big difference until he was 12 or so (level 6). We are seeing growth in my 10 year old also. He has a bigger distance to go. Gymnastics is a great sport for kids with a lot of energy. It is helping my son's ADHD. I would probably do one more competition season and see what happens. Maybe he will want to quit but maybe he will fall in love with it.

Yes the best prices tend to be through a gym.

I have an S5. I love it. No problems using it.
