hahaha....Thanks for the chuckle! We need some humor to take our minds off all the "junk" we are dealing with! I have so much to wine about right now that I can even list it all. Number one= financial issues...ughhh

Excellent advise given up thread. Protect yourself by preparing as advised. If you want marriage counseling to try and save this marriage, call the local churches. Many of them offer counseling services, sometimes with lay people that have been trained or they will often cover the cost off therapy with a professional counselor. You can arrange for this and THEN ask your husband if he is interested in trying to see if the marriage can be saved. IF he is willing to go to counseling and put the effort into communicating, MAYBE the marriage can be saved, but he has to want it. (Hopefully you have a friend that could call around and find counseling services, so you have less on your plate. If not, I would be happy to do this for you, just contact me.) Yes, marriages can be salvaged after an affair, but it takes repentence on the part of the guilty party and time and healing for the victim. This can ONLY happen if HE wants to fix the marriage. Hugs to you!!

I am always behind on everything. I guess it is time for me to look at the sale ads before I miss it all then! Sounds like I will be making a trip to Office Max for those mechanical pencils!!

MrsWeasley.....I am so sorry for what you are going through. I am hoping that the reason you have not been back on the board is that your hubby came to his senses and you all are talking it over. Marriage is difficult, and yes, sometimes a mate may think the only solution is divorce, then they can have a change of heart. I pray that is the case here. I will be praying for your marriage, and you! With that said, I pray you will take some of the advice you have been given and prepare yourself either way. Hugs to you! Feel free to contact me if you just want someone to talk to.

Thank you! It is mind boggeling how many products there are to compare! Do you feel it has actualy helped?

If you use Tumeric in your daily juice for fighting inflammation, can you tell me which brand you recomend? My family member would prefer the powder form. Thanks!

haha....Yes, that is what it feels like Tap! Ok. This is strange. Over and over again it will not permit me to log out. So, I decided to delete my saved link to the forum. Next, I turned off my ipad. Then googled the forums and tried to re-enter. I cleared the remember me box and signed in. Then I proceeded to try and post in response here and once I hit "post" it said I didn't have permission to do so. I was no longer signed in!!! ughhh...... So, in order to post THIS comment I HAD to check the remember me box.

Off to investigate Keens! I am always looking for comfortable shoes that are cute.

I certainly don't think of myself as being technologically inept, but maybe so! I am trying to sign out of the forums, but it keeps me signed in no matter what. Even on days when I have managed to sign out and then later decide to just read as a guest, rather than signing in, I am automatically signed in. What is up with that? How do I change it? I am on a ipad. My tech savy husband can't even figure it out!

Thank you for sharing your personal experience! I realize what helps one person, may not help another, but it certainly helps to learn new ideas of things to try! I truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience. I can't get multi quote to work, so I thought this would work best for a reply being as so many of you had great ideas to share. CaladwenEleniel---Sounds like the Heal Your Headache 1-2-3 may be a good book to read. Thanks! What type of allergy testing did you have performed, do you remember? I have been considering this. TracyP---I'm sure marijuana wouldn't be covered in my area, and medical grade would be way beyond my budget, I'm afraid. Plus, it is actually my teenager that sufffers, so I think I will wait on considering this treatment. Who knows, maybe one day, if we can't find a remedy! Alicia64--I recently heard of the oxygen, but our neurologist shot down the idea saying it is not an approved method of treament. Has it worked for your husband? I would love to hear his experience. katilac---Sorry, my post made it sound like it was me experiencing the headaches, but it is not. It is not easy getting a teenager to cooperate on all the things we have to "try", and then eliminate. I appreciate the idea of monitoring several things at once. I agree that the brain sometimes get "stuck" in headache mode. I have seen these cycles throughout the years of dealing with this. kva--So no headaches at all since vegan, or just minimized? I don't think we could talk him into this, but maybe an elimination diet and journaling might help us find the culprit. PamJBA--well, I always fuss when he has had a Monster Drink in the past, which is very seldom. Guess I could purchase the taurine alone and try it. Thanks for the idea! redsquirrel--We did actually try accupuncture several years back and his headaches went from once a week to EVERY day. It just made him dizzy and light headed the nex day and he just could not function. We had that bout of migraines reversed by a chiropractor within about three visits. Happy to hear they worked for you! My sister swears by it for menopause hot flashes. MamaBearTeacher--Thansk for the ideas! Same bedtime and wake time has been an issue we need to work on. Lady Marmalade---hmmm.....peppermint oil is not hard to come by......may need to try this one too! Anything that may help divert a headache is fair game at this point! Thanks! Homeschool Mom in AZ--Sounds like you have a smart neurologist! The one we have at the momonet sounds like all he believes in are the drugs. I love it when a Dr. is willing to encourage patients to seek out aternative treaments if they don't have success with the treament they would usually advise. scbusf---Going GF can be so difficult! I know the incentive to continue it is great now that you feel good. Maybe I can get him on board with this. We will see. KatieinMich---How often does he go for treatment? TexasMama--hmmm...We've had his magnesium tested in the past and it wasn't comsdiered low. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try a low dosage daily and see if it helps, along with B2. Again, our current neurologist has not suggested this, just drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Thanks for sharing! I'm happy you have found relief! 5nomads--Glad you have relief! We are hoping he gets relief from the chiropractor soon. Acadie---I will have to read the article you shared in length. I just skimmed it so far. Thanks for sharing, as this is completely new to me! Patty Joanna---sounds like another herb to look into! Thanks! JennyD--I'll do some research on TENS for migraines. I do actually have a TENS unit already, but never thought to try it for migraines!!! Thank you for the idea! Renai---Thank you! I am making my list of supplements to look into. SOunds like magnesium has helped at least a few people. MBM----I will research that. No cold hands, but t couldn't hurt to research and see if it is something to investigate further. Thansk! Bethany Grace---I will research this also! Thank you! Thank you for all the personal experiences and ideas!

So far, all the suggestions have been pursued. An elimination diet didn't make much difference, although that may be the next thing to try again. Anyone use an herb, or natural supplement that has helped? Thank you for your ideas!

I'd love to hear your personal experience. Is it possible to eliminate or decrease the frequency or duration of migraines with natural remedies? If you were having a bout of headaches or migraine headaches DAILY for several weeks, (cluster headaches) were you able to treat or lessen them with natural remedies? (no fear of brain tumor as these are lifelong headaches, although currently increased, a neurologist has been seen recently and he just wants to prescribe medication, which I'd like to avoid due to side effects) I have researched and researched and just want to hear from the "horses mouth" so to speak. Please share with me what worked for you!

I have female dogs and THEY hump each other at times. In our situation, it seems like it is a sign of dominating the other. No experience with a male dog.

The fact that neither was apologetic or promised to get the ipad back tells me that you should NOT wait to hear back from them. They need a fire put under their butts! Call the Regional Manager and get them on top of this immediately. The longer you wait, the less likely the individual will have the ipad in his possession. So sorry you are going through this!

I'm adding all these stores to my search list! I sure appreciate the ideas!

Wow! I am totally impressed that anyone could manage hosting a party for 40 people and NOT use disposable items. Truth be told, knowing someone can host a party, on their own, for 40 people impresses me. I do not have this skill and sure wish I did!

Thanks for the ideas! I hadn't thought of Pottery Barn or Pier One. I have looked on Overstock, but may try that again. Never thought of looking online at Target either. Anthropologie looks like it hasn't some nice, unique curtains, but sadly, they are out of my budget. I did go into the Bed Bath & Beyond and was surprised I couldn't find anything I liked. Maybe I just need to look again. I wish I could just hire one of the decorators from HGTV, or the decorator on the Property Brother's show. LOVE their taste on most occasions.

I loved the retractable leash, once my dogs were leash trained properly. Of course, I use common sense and am courteous and aware when others are coming near.

I have searched and searched and it is difficult to find curtains in the stores anymore. It seems everyone is going online! Of all the places to find curtains, the place that I found a curtain I really like was at Lowes. I really like the color and design on it, but it is too short and is low quality. I am searching for a light shade of "mineral" with some soft design on it. Where have you been able to find curtains?

It makes a difference because misrepresenting exactly what happened is wrong. Yes, whether HIS pants were down or not, it is wrong. The fact that he pulled down HER pants is wrong. But, I do feel it would have been worse if HIS pants were down as well. It would show more intention. It is obvious that he was struggling with very inappropriate thoughts indeed. I just believe in accuracy and not making the situation appear worse than it was, as it was already pretty bad! Take note that on p. 26 of the police report, it appears to me that Josh did actually call his parents and "asked them to come home because he needed their forgiveness for what he THINKS he has done. in the document it has blacked out all the kids names and pronouns “(-----------) said that (-----------) asked them to come home because (---) needed forgiveness. (---) said (------) was not sure, but thinks that (----) touched (----------) while (----------) was sitting on (--------) lap. (--------) said (----------) inappropriately. (-------) said (--------) was told by their father what (------) had done.

I was just coming back here today, as I just read the police report and this is how I understood it. Yes, it was wrong that he pulled her pants down. Disgusting actually, but it doesn't say he touched her with his bare p****. And yes, there is a difference in my opinion.

I want to like this a thousand times! Unfortunately, so many parents did not see what was coming, were too busy to get involved or didn't know how to fight these changes. Sometimes I feel like we, as homeschoolers, should be working to make changes in the school system, rather than abandoning it, but I only have so much energy. Plus there are more reasons than this that have caused me to homeschool.

I feel for this mom. I have been threatened by the school system in the past due to absences of one of my children. I do think this can be a complex issue. The schools are placing these guidelines because 1. they lose money when the child is not in attendance 2. many children can't learn if they are not in attendance (unless they have an involved parent that will help them at home) 3. some families just don't care to send their kids if it is not convenient Personally, I think there has to be guidelines, but I also think the school principal should be able to use good judgement in each individual situation. A parent shouldn't have to go to the Dr. for every little illness. If the school system expects this, then maybe the school system should have a nurse on staff and offer free visits for those who wish to document that their child is indeed sick. Being as I am a good parent, I feel I shouldn't have to do this. It is another a example of the over reaching of our government on how we raise our children. On the other hand, what about those parents that are NOT good parents? How does someone intervene and help the children get the education they deserve, being as the parents have chosen to use the state education system. That is why I think the school pricipal should be able to use discretion. I think the mother in this video should take a stand against the school district with the GoFund me account. Why not get other parents together and try to make some changes in the area? Her asking people for money so she can just move makes me a little suspicious. ETA: to fix a typo

I have been silent on the matter as I read and learned about what was happening. No, the OP is not foolish but when we put people on pedestals, they will eventually fall in some form or another. The bolded words of ThisIsTheDay says it all. I also agree with the entire statement. I am a conservative Christian who tries daily to walk with Jesus, and daily, I fail. I certainly don't expect others to live up to a standard that I can't either. Thankful that I don't have to earn my salvation. Thankful for the blood of Jesus! Praying for the girls and the entire family.

oops....I just rated this thread on accident...... and I rated it with one star! I don't rate threads, as I think all the threads are good. ETA: my poor grammar!
