  1. We did it a few months ago. We have Netflix and HuluPlus. It is having us $100.00 a month. We love having that money to buy better health insurance for our family.
  2. Happy birthday Christopher!! He sounds like a wonderful young man. You have done a wonderful job of raising him.
  3. I am so glad your dd is doing better. I will continue praying for her. I am so glad a nurse saw your dd's skin changes. DD11 has horrible, purple skin mottling all over her body due to Dysautonomia. She also gets bright red flushing in her cheeks. It gets worse the more she is dehydrated, sick, or temperature changes. Gatorade will sometimes help but not always. Her metabolic dr. suggested a Pediatric Cardiologist who treats autonomic symptoms to help with it so she is seeing one in October. Just thought I would mention it in case that helps. I'm so sorry you all are having to deal with all of this. :grouphug:
  4. Yes, very much so. Our dd11 is highly allergic to it. We had no idea it was causing her "episodes" of anger. We were n the middle of getting her evaluated with a Psychologist when we figured it out. She turned into a totally different child once we took her off of it. She accidentally got it at a restaurant(in bbq sauce) and went into a rage. It was so bad that she climbed up the windowsill and tore down the curtains in our playroom. It also causes her to have no filter or self-control. It is awful, awful stuff. It is in things like make-up, chapstick, soap, shampoos, etc. We have to read labels all the time due to companies changing products. One of the hardest is when we eat at people's houses. I have learned to bring a snack for her when we go places in case something has red dye in it.
  5. For our wedding, my mom's friend gave us a Christmas bell to hang on our Christmas tree. We opened it and it was tarnished and had 1986 inscribed on it. We were married in 1999. We still giggle about it whenever we see it on our tree.
  6. Those are so cute!! DD11 really wants one but they don't make her allergy. I e-mailed them to ask if they are making ones for other allergies, such as food-dyes.
  7. I am so sorry. I will be praying for you and your family. :grouphug:
  8. Thank you. I grew up with an outside dog, so I had no idea dogs had these kind of emotions. She is an indoor dog so we get to see all of this. I think the craziest thing she has ever done is figure out that if she jumped up and pressed the ice maker, she could get ice out. We had to stop her from doing it but it was really funny when she did it. Another incident we had her was with a baby bunny in a nest in the yard. She took it out and decided to play with it. She never hurt it but took it around the yard with her, like it was a puppy. We got it away from her and took it to a rescue so she wouldn't try and take it out again. She pouted about that also. p.s. I'm trying quoting for the first time, so I hope it worked. :)
  9. Our dog puts her tail between her legs and hunches her shoulders when she knows she's done something she's not supposed to do. She also pouts for a couple of days after we bring her home from the vet. She LOVES the vet due to them being friends with our family, so she has always gotten to play with their dogs at the vet's office. She also gets very excited when she knows she's going to see them. Another thing she does, is give my parents a very sad eye look when they leave. She really plays it up for them, looking sad when they are getting ready to leave. She loves it when my parents come visit. My mom always brings dog biscuits so she knows she gets them when we tell her Grammy is coming. She gets very excited and waits by the door for them when we tell her. We say she acts like Snoopy, due to her emotions. If she doesn't get something she wants, she acts very sad and depressed. But when she's happy, she's really happy and excited. She also tries to cover things up she knows she's not supposed to have, such as kids toys, by sitting on them.
  10. This is our Melody. We call her Melly. She is a sweetie and very lazy. But if you sit in her favorite chair, and she wants to sit there, she will either stare at you until you move or join you. Even if there is not any room. She is a cuddle-bug who think she's a lap dog but weights 90 lbs. :001_smile:
  11. Our dd11 is like this. She has hypoglycemia due to her Mito. We have to feed her every 2 hours in order to keep her from crashing. We give her a carb and a protein to help her balance her blood sugar. We also have to give pure cornstarch mixed with water at night to keep it up during the night. She used to wake up with tantrums every morning until we did the cornstarch.
  12. I hope everyone feels better soon. Hope you get some rest between taking care of everyone. :grouphug:
  13. The countertop was on sale for around 30.00 I believe. The cabinets were about 10.00 each at the ReStore. I did spray paint the cabinets white because they were from the Hurricanes stadium and were bright red. I'm thinking it was around 60.00 total for the whole thing. I'm not sure how to describe the cabinets. I'm going to try and attach a picture. Sorry it's a little blurry, it was taken with my old phone. :001_smile:
  14. My husband built one for our school-room a couple of years ago. I bought a discounted countertop at Home Depot and some small cabinets at the restore. He attached L brackets to the counter and cabinets. It's now a Lego counter. It fits 3 children. We used the cabinets between each child. It works really well and my husband built it in about an hour.
