Consistency
Time
My oldest has this problem. It took many years of removing the stress-er (usually video games but not always), calmly telling him he needed to be responsible for the things he does and we will talk to siblings about what they do, and letting him know that if he couldn't take care of his part (knowing what he specifically did and apologize or fix it) then he couldn't have the things that caused the problem.
It's pretty common for me to say "why are you asking about so-and-so (or yelling at them or correcting them)? Who's business is your job? Okay, please take care of that and if there's a problem with someone else they and I will take care of it."

Didn't they find out dandruff is a scalp infection/virus?
When I have bouts I rinse my scalp with vinegar once or twice and that clears it up.
Tea tree oil also has anti-bacterial properties, so those shampoos should be helpful (if they contain enough).
If you use either of those watch out for your eyes. Both vinegar and tea tree oil can sting like crazy.
No ideas for the dry hair, sorry.

Chocolate torte recipes are gluten free, and genoise is a type of layered cake with whipped cream and ganache. Neither are advertised as 'gluten-free' but the original recipes don't include flour.
Ruth Levy-Beranbaum has several similar recipes for these, and there are others out there.
I adapt these for my son. I'm probably making the chocolate cloud and rolling it with sweetened whipped cream.

Google...
Technology & Learning Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines
One of the top 5 (#4 unless its changed) should be a PDF from the journal Technology & Learning. It's a poster/chart which gives specifics about what teachers can do under copyright law. One of my professors downloaded it for us.
I think the PDF on Google originates at http://www.newtrier.k12.il.us. You could also search there for it if you want.
On the chart I think it's 10% of the work or 1000 words, whichever is less, can be quoted.

Thicker mulch. A little weeding around the edges.

Kids of Catan is very pretty (and expensive) but is very limited in terms of play. There isn't much strategy or decisions.
One of our friends bought it for her 4 year old and was very disappointed.

Chicken Satay with couscous....yum

Reminds me of our neighbor down the street when I was a kid. She used to mow her lawn in her bikini twice a week to that song (that tape actually).
I see the irony now.

When my friend was in treatment we gave her a Netflix subscription.
gift cards (grocery stores, restaurants, gas)
or meals
stopping by
emails
cards
are also good suggestions.
Just remember the whole family too. Minor children, spouses, pets...there's less time for everyone.

Software engineer dh here...similar work clothes...I do them all, but he needs to give me 12 hours notice for ironing. I have 4 kids so I just don't need that kind of rush in the morning.
So generally he goes without ironing.
Suit jackets would be dry-cleaned.
I haven't noticed a big difference in wear and tear. We did a lot more dry-cleaning before we had kids (his job attire was more formal) and wear and tear was the same (except he had to remember where and when he dropped them off..jeepers :lol: ).
I'd rather wash them then be in an argument about it, especially if they don't take special care.

Do you mean worry about what he is going to do when he grows up? Or worry if he'll ever be able to drive? Or worry about losing him to epilepsy?
Because if you do, I know what you mean...
Yeah, all of the above...and then some, but my son's disorder if fairly severe.
It is nice to connect with someone else with the same worries...although I'm not pleased that your daughter has to go through this. I hope one of the other suggestions helps.

Today has been a weird day.
I can't get "
" by Anathello out of my head.And "Cashout" by Fugazi is strangely compelling as well.
Both favorites.

If I had to pick one I would pick The Christmas Shoes. It's just such manipulative crap.

We started The Hobbit when the boys were 9, 7, and 4-5. We started LOTR the next year.
It was too much for the youngest. He never got into the story.
The Hobbit was too far along for the 7 year old, but by the time he hit 8/9 he was the perfect age/temperment for LOTR. We finished The Return of the King last year (he's 10) and he's been reading it obsessively since then...and talking about it...and acting it out.
Everyone is different though. My 7 year olds best friend (not quite 7) is now obsessively reading through the series...by himself. My 7 year old would beg to not have to listen.

The Jayhawks "Five Cups of Coffee"
(since there are no copies I could find online I'll have to substitute "
from the same album to give a general idea) -
The usual advice is that a person with an uncontrolled seizure disorder (meaning they've had at least one seizure in the last year while on medication) should not swim alone. Because they are susceptible they can not be the sole responsible person at a pool.
If there are multiple positions working together you'd have to inquire about pool policy. Some places are more willing to be make accommodations than others. It might also be a matter of their insurance.
I'm sorry about your daughter. My son has an uncontrolled seizure disorder. I often worry about these kinds of things.

Yes. I use use it in conjunction with whole wheat, rye, oats, and other grains. It's also cheap and easy to use for sourdough.

I wonder if there would be interest in organizing state-wide swaps. I wouldn't mind driving down to civilization to trade/sell/give away used material.
Perhaps that's too similar to state conferences which do swaps on the side (for a fee)?

I'll say the opposite...I think friendship is more helpful than dating. You're more objective.
Despite several opportunities I decided not to date in high school. Instead of putting me at a disadvantage, I saw all the drama, all the things I did and didn't want from watching my friends' relationships and from male friends.
When I finally dated, I knew more about myself and what I wanted then my friends did. They were still doing the same trial and error they did in high school.

Just one song? That's pure evil. Some of us are just too indecisive for that.
was big last week.Although I totally loved "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison and
yesterday."You're a flavor in my mind/ back and forth between/ sweeter than any wine/ more bitter than mustard green"

This is a hard one because it could be a few things.
I think your diet sounds good. It may be that she doesn't know what 'hungry' means. It could mean that she feels like she wants to eat. We talk about and point out times when our tummies feel not-hungry, very full, and very hungry (empty). We have a term here 'I just feel like a taste' to describe that wanting sensation when you just want to snack but your stomach isn't empty.
Or she may need more water. You could count her ounces per day and see if it matches healthy levels for her age. Most people confuse hunger and thirst.
I had a son who was chunky from birth to @6. For some reason he hit a big growth spurt and outdistanced his baby fat at that age. He's now my skinniest child, and the one who was skinny from birth is struggling with food issues and weight (11-12).
If you're worried I would keep non-starch veggies for extra snacks. I don't think some celery, broccoli, or peppers would hurt if she's truly hungry. You could check the carb-load of specific vegetables if you're worried. Normally she'd have to eat a lot to match other snacks.

Another for logistics.
When my I was a child we were limited to 1 pew of family. Our entire class received communion at the same time and there was only so much room. Extended family was invited to the party. Grandparents were given the option to come to either or both. When my nephew took his we weren't even invited to the church there was so little room.
Different families and cultures have different expectations about Communion gifts. Growing up we expected no gifts (or perhaps something from our godparents or grandparents but certainly not from everyone at the party!). My SIL's in-laws are a very close-knit Polish family and gifts are expected from everyone on that side (and the party is also bigger).
We now have an endangered species living with us ...

The kids suggest:
Ugluk and Grishnok
Ishkabibble Himowitz and Bobby duBlah
Black Fire and Red Spike
I suggest:
researching local native-american tribes and use their words for tortoise/turtle/desert plants/etc. It ties back nicely to the region.
