  1. I've been very happy with my LG washer & dryer. I feel like reading reviews (and picking through the extremes and the repetitiveness, which is mind numbing!) has been most helpful. And recommendations here, of course! We have purchased appliances at Sam's Club, Lowe's,Home Depot....whoever has the best price at the moment.
  2. I am so very sorry for your loss. So much loss for you in such a short time. 💙
  3. Your daughter is a beautiful young woman and I'm so happy to hear she's adjusting to school! Kudos to you for walking with her through this process so wisely. 💯💯
  4. Silverware is very useful for the college students, especially since pieces disappear over time. 😄
  5. Trust your instincts and set your boundaries accordingly. Even when you can't completely explain or feel that you understand what you see happening, it's important to pay attention to the feelings that another person's actions evoke within you. They are clues! You have more insight than you give yourself credit for.
  6. Second the recommendation for Ole & Steen pastries. So. good. We also loved Mei Lai Wah, a little place in Chinatown. Great pork buns and wonton soup.
  7. I like the Nuun tablets - they are not very sweet, and are a little bit carbonated. Liquid IV is quite sweet. I've recently tried Drip Drop and like those - decent flavors, not as sweet as Liquid IV but more so than Nuun.
  8. Agreeing as well. Isn't 9 credits the equivalent of taking 9 full-year high school classes? (we count credits a bit differently in Indiana, so maybe I'm incorrect on this). That is a lot! It seems like an overload, unless some of the college classes are only 1-2 credits. If they are 3-4 hours classes, he will have a full load of college classes plus additional high school level classes. I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by course slots, but I've always thought the best way to approach this is in high school is by looking at number of credits. If I understand correctly, one college level semester course is considered a full year high school credit. That reflects the amount of work that will be required for the class. You have to consider that in order to create a realistic schedule. Of course every student has different capacity, but take care to consider that you don't want your high school student to work so hard trying to get into college that they're feeling burnt out by the time they get to college. Because that's when the real work begins, especially if they've chosen a difficult major. 🙂
  9. Because one like is not nearly enough to express how good this whole response is, just quoting to highlight some key parts. This is so wise, and so true! "You are not a horrible person. You are not lazy. You are not less than. You are worthy. You are good enough. You are beautiful. I'm sure you are a wonderful friend, wife, and mother. And that includes your faults and flaws."
  10. You are not a fool for making a choice that you feel is best for your family. You are in a hard situation, and in the absence of great options you are choosing the best of not great options. You want a therapist who will support you in that, for sure. But it's true that if you are stuck in the same complaints over a long period of time; there comes a point where you are choosing to stay "stuck". It seems like the mess/hoarding issues are just the part of the iceberg that's visible, but underlying that are huge communication and respect issues in your relationship. I hope you are able to work through to find a place of peace and better functioning for you. You are valuable and worthy of living a life that brings you joy and satisfaction. If this therapist isn't helping you toward that, please do get a new therapist who will support you in a way that brings hope.
  11. Happy anniversary! It looks like we got married just a week apart; our 28th anniversary is next weekend.
  12. Another vote for Brother laser printers. We're on our second b& w one and both have been true workhorses.
  13. Calculus in high school is a definite plus for getting into selective programs. I would go with your first option to do Pre Calc and then Calc in 12th. The first goal is to be solid on the foundations before taking Calculus, and there's not great benefit to taking Calculus before 12th grade unless you have a very advanced student.
