Oh No you didn't! Them's fight'in words!! KC and St. Louis don't know BBQ. TX is REAL BBQ How do not remember giant flying roaches? You must be from W. Texas where there's no trees to house those suckers!

Go fund me takes a percentage. I think there is a free one, but I don't recall the name. You might contact the American Cancer Society and see if they can recommend something. We found out they have a program for free rides to the doctor for treatments when my dad was going through radiation.

Okay, I'll give you that one. But those aren't just in TX, so...

I believe you just posted proof of what is wrong w/ oklahoma. Oh, you could be right... one million UT fans.

't There is nothing wrong w/ TX woman! (okay, except it's hot and we don't have 4 seasons, but other than that...)

As you seem to be the one who keeps coming in and pushing people's buttons, I assume that you just like to argue. And I wish they would close TX borders.. it's too dang crowded already.

From your posted article: but it's contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment." The director continued to assure residents that the public isn't at risk because health officials have the virus contained. And I would assume that those being monitored are probably being "quarantined" at home.. something that's implied in another of your news links by the governor But your posts do scream w/ a "chicken little" type of paranoia "the children had contact with the patient and are being monitored at home, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said today in a press conference." That's the risk of their job, as it is w/ nurses and doctors, and I'm sure they take the proper precautions dealing w/ any patient.. gloves, proper hand washing, etc, etc.

I agree. Straight to the specialist.

I think you should tell her. I would say something like "My dds are concerned about Sally. They have noticed that she does xyz, and are concerned that she might be bulimic." Or something along those lines. If the mom gets mad, she gets mad. I don't think it's wrong to say something if you're concerned.

I assume what is going on is something just like this case: https://gigaom.com/2013/07/15/goodreads-hit-with-copyright-suit-over-fan-photo/

I see a forget me not flower.

Looks interesting. Wish I could go.

You need to let them know that you can't afford it, and wouldn't be able to attend. Either it's more important to have their dream destination wedding, or it's more important that you be there. Either way is perfectly okay, but they need know that it's just not an option for you to go. Holding back only causes resentment in the end. Either for you, for having to figure out how to pay for it and being put in that position, or on their part for you not speaking up sooner. .

Just quiet, no. One child, or two, no. A whole family of kids, maybe a little bit. Not interacting w/ each other, listless, or looking toward parent for permission to speak, even if you or another adult spoke to them, would have me being very observant for other red flags. I also want to say, you should probably listen to your gut. Quill, from what you describe, I would probably be watchful.

I second Shaklee. I have found that Nordic Naturals don't even come close to the quality of Shaklee. And you don't have to have a distributor. I paid something like $19 to join as a member, and get a discount. They can be a bit pricey, but they are worth it.

Just saw your update. I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad she went out on her own terms, and with your son there. :grouphug: to you and your son.

I'm so glad someone finally asked. I don't get it. Or Ryan Gosling, either. I have a feeling every post I make will now be reported by the masses trying to have me removed from the boards.

Hope they feel better fast! I took both of my girls in this morning, and got z-packs, because theirs is turning into sinus infections. So far, lungs seem clear, but ears are filled w/ fluid. She did tell dd1 to use her inhaler that she has for swimming, if she felt it going to her chest at all. She said she didn't know if it was the entovirus, but that there are an awful lot of people w/ cold symptoms, and it's really early.

I'm north of San Antonio, and there is something going around here. Don't know if that's what it is, but there are a lot of people in town complaining of cold like symptoms. some people have said theirs turned into pneumonia. Dd1 came home friday all nasally, low grade fever, sore throat, and no otc meds are doing anything. Sudafed, mucinex, allergy meds.. nothing brings any relief. Dd2 came home w/ it yesterday. Taking her to the doc tomorrow, as she actually has fever over 100 and is complaining of ear pain on top of everything else. I'm not one to worry about this stuff- didn't worry at all during the h1n1 scare, but I'm being more watchful over this one.

No we didn't, and I'm offended that you think so. We just aren't social, and like to hide out w/ our own kind. :D

House #2 if it were me. House #1 is okay too. No to 3 and 4. 4 because it doesn't feel right, and that's huge. 3 because it's too small, and you are planning on adopting again. Listen to your gut. If the thought of buying one of them makes you sick at your stomach, the answer is no!

Why in the world would that be any kind of red flag? Maybe the kid is transgender, and knows it. Maybe he/she loves mommy and daddy equally and rolled them both into one cool person. But a red flag? Seriously? OP, I agree w/ Kinsa. A kindy-3rd grader, I don't see an issue, but a 4th -6th grader should know better. However, I don't see detention as necessary unless the child was asked to put it away, and refused.

You must not drop as many as me. :D I think they have to land "just right", to bust. And if I drop it, it will land just right.

Not the op, but I assume it fell on the floor, and busted open. It happens. eta: it can also happen if it gets overheated

I think calling poison control and or a professional cleaning crew is a bit over the top. Okay, a lot over the top. Open some windows if the smell is bothering you. Mop the floor w/ something like Dawn that has a degreasing agent in it. I promise you aren't going to die.
