Here's the question: Sam and Terry ran on the treadmill. Sam started 10 minutes before Terry. Terry finished 5 minutes before Sam. They both ran the same distance. When Terry finished, Sam had completed 4/5 of the journey and still had 1/2 mile to go. Find Sam's speed. Find Terry's speed. I don't feel like we have enough information to do this, or if we do, it's hidden in some way I can't see. :blushing: Any help?

I had twins first, like you, baby B was breech. Tried for VBAC with ds1, fetal distress and failure to progress, ending in 2nd csection. After that, I saw a midwife, and she helped me through my three subsequent natural, drug free births. There's no reason not to have a baby b/c of 2sections, whether or not you try for VBACs. :grouphug: I'd go for the VBAC, though, in a heartbeat, if there were no known maternal or fetal issues. Natural birth is infinitely better, IME. Best to you as you decide.

Yes, what Moira said. :)

I had 3VA2Cs. Great, great experiences. Can't say enough good stuff about natural childbirth. My midwife was very supportive. I had them in the hospital, only intervention required was the hep lock in case I needed emergency care. Very, very minor inconvenience, IMO. For the last one, I was required by the hospital to meet with a high-risk OB once, so she could evaluate my risk levels and apprise me of them. It was basically a formality. She knew I was going to do it, and I knew what she'd say. It was fine. What specific questions do you have?

No, it's not a lending system. If you buy it, you've bought it, generally speaking. I returned two things, and then audible wanted me to exchange them. It's still an awesome deal, IMO, if you've got a lot of time to listen, either in the car or at home. They often run deals for extra credits, or cheaper books, many of them classics, or sometimes just some apparently random books they've selected. We have a library of over 200 titles, and haven't listened to them all yet. :) But no, they're not gonna let you just trade books in and out, any more than Barnes and Noble would. :)

I use a culture-on-the-counter culture from culturesforhealth.com. It's the easiest thing ever. Seriously, you mix the culture with milk, and let it sit for 12-18 hours. Then you have your starter culture, and you can make as much as you have a bowl big enough to hold. No heat, no crockpot, no nothing. Super easy and mild. You can also do what I do, and strain it (after saving the starter amount) to make Greek-style yogurt. You can see it here: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/viili-yogurt-starter.html

CYA!

Your sister was as lucky to have you as you were to have her. :grouphug: I am so sorry for your loss. :grouphug:

Amity Verity Constancy ------------------- These are tongue in cheek, so don't be offended: Industry (Dusty for short); Autonomy (Toni for short); Lucidity (Lucy for short). I quite like Lucidity, actually, given your parameters.

1--in quiche 2--hard boiled 3--scrambled with spinach I won't eat eggs with runny bits--eeeeewwwww!!! :)

I call Quill to live with me on the deserted island! ;) together our cuisine will be perfect. :)

My favorite for smells and stains is Bac-Out, made by Biokleen. It's enzymatic, so it cleans well, but it is kid/pet safe and smells pleasantly like lime. :)

Spinach, broccoli, chicken, milk, berries, apples, almonds, cheese. :)

Our current favorite way to eat them is with spinach and feta cheese, served in pita pockets. Everyone will eat these "green eggs," even my picky ones. I also always cook eggs with a generous sprinkle of garlic pepper.

It seems to me that the big-ness of some of these is going to depend on the level of devotion in a family and/or a parish. I know the RCC HSers in our group are very devout and observe many feasts which might be officially more minor devotions, kwim?

I like the "natural" ones made by nature's path (I think). They're still sweet, and not for breakfast, but they taste like good graham crackers with jam. :drool:

Michaelmas is, I think, the feast of the archangels, on September 29?

Rosie, those last are "big" feasts, and would get "airtime" in church. They are also mysteries of the rosary, so devout Catholics would know them in that context as well.

Awesome! :D

Maybe you can have masses said for her intentions? That'd surely be an appreciated gift. Or a spiritual bouquet?

W put on Midsummer as our first foray into full length Shakespeare about 4 years ago. Here's a link to a friend's blog with pix of costumes, including Bottom's. If you poke around a bit, you can see other pictures too. http://anabragahenebrysjournal.blogspot.com/2009/07/blog-post.html?m=0

I love the WWI poets, especially Housman, Millay, Graves. Millay: Pity Me Not Because The Light Of Day Pity me not because the light of day At close of day no longer walks the sky; Pity me not for beauties passed away From field and thicket as the the year goes by; Pity me not the waning of the moon, Nor that the ebbing tide goes out to sea, Nor that a man's desire is hushed so soon, And you no longer look with love on me. This have I known always: Love is no more Than the wide blossom which the wind assails, Than the great tide that treads the shifting shore, Strewing fresh wreckage gathered in the gales: Pity me that the heart is slow to learn What the swift mind beholds at ever turn. Robert Graves: Knowledge Of God So far from praising he blasphemes Who says that God has been or is, Who swears he met with God in dreams Or face to face in woods and streams, Meshed in their boundaries. 'Has been' and 'is' the seasons bind, (Here glut of bread, there lack of bread). The mill-stones grumble as they grind That if God is, he must be blind, Or if he was, is dead. Can God with Danae sport and kiss, Or God with rebel demons fight, Making a proof as Jove or Dis, Force, Essence, Knowledge, that or this, Of Godhead infinite? The caterpillar years-to-come March head to tail with years-that-were Round and around the cosmic drum, To time and space they add their sum But how is Godhead there? Weep, sleep, be merry, vault the gate Or down the evening furrow plod, Hate, and at length withhold your hate, Rule, or be ruled by certain fate, But cast no net for God. Housman: With Rue My Heart Is Laden With rue my heart is laden For golden friends I had, For many a rose-lipt maiden And many a lightfoot lad. By brooks too broad for leaping The lightfoot boys are laid; The rose-lipt girls are sleeping In fields where roses fade. I'm a hopeless romantic, what can I say? ;)

Praying now, and will continue for the next hour, sweet Julie. :grouphug: Please let us know what you can when you can.

Also, have a look at this menu planner: http://www.soscuisine.com It's even Canadian, so it can help you shop your local stores' flyers, which doesn't work for me... ;)
