  1. Some of my favorites: X-Files Buffy the Vampire Slayer Teenage Bounty Hunters ER Resident Alien
  2. The neuropsych we saw here wasn't either, although he thought he was, but he really didn't know much about curricula when I talked to him. Which is fair, his gig is testing, not keeping up with homeschool curriculum. We found that while there's a lot of research about best practices for dyslexia, there wasn't nearly the same research for dyscalculia. We've just been muddling through.
  3. Honestly, given the circles I run in, I think the odds of me running into a situation where narcan is needed is really low. Also, I learned a long time ago that purses don’t work for me. But the odds that my 18 or 20 year olds will encounter someone in need of narcan are way higher.
  4. I think non medical professionals citizens are even more protected by these laws. A Harm Reduction group in our city will give narcan to pretty much anyone. And our healthcare won’t allow anyone to fill an opioid prescription without also getting narcan. My kids both carry some in their backpacks.
  5. I remember this, but I don't remember the name. I definitely remember this though.
  6. Back when I was in elementary school, I checked a book out of the library over and over and over called The Story of Science. It was probably 400 pages and written in the 60s probably, and it was about the history of science, but it was crystal clear that science is not so much a body of knowledge but an approach to approaching the world, and that THAT was the true story of science and how our approach to understanding the world has changed. It was absolutely amazing and riveting in its storytelling approach, but also has really shaped my understanding of the world to a huge extent, and I'm incredibly grateful to it, because it taught me at an incredibly early age that 1) science doesn't ever really teach us what we know; it shows us what we haven't disproven YET, and 2) that what we think we know is always changing, because we discover more and things we thought we know get disproven. I have looked for it often as an adult, but the title is so common, and it's so old, I've never had success finding it, but I'm convinced the world would be better if everyone had read and studied it in school.
  7. Everyone hates on them, but our family loves Crocs. We are also pretty immune to embarrassment, so that helps. They're especially awesome for wearing to the pool for swimming and not having to get still damp feet into socks or real shoes.
  8. Honestly, my husband DOES far more around the house than I do, for various reasons. But I am the executive functioning for everyone in the family, and it is genuinely a job. I keep track of who needs to be where when, what needs to be ordered, what appointments need to be made, when the car needs inspection, and what not. I mean, I also do things around the house, but probably not as many as my husband.
