We have riders on the insurance policies for special jewelry. Whether or not the insurance company covers it without a rider is up to the company. Do you have an appraisal of the ring? Sometimes they will ask for that when a claim is made.

The diagnosis of COPD tends to be given to the Medicare crowd. It may have something to do with having Medicare pay. My father in law was asthmatic until he went on Medicare. My mother just had allergies and chronic bronchitis until she went on Medicare. She went on oxygen when she went on Medicare, also.
People with a COPD diagnosis are usually given a maintenance inhaler with some form of albuterol. It is not for emergency situations. You need the other type of inhaler or nebulizer for wheezing. Exercise such as just walking helps but ask before you start any exercise. Weight loss helped my mother. She got off the oxygen and she only got pneumonia once a year instead of 5 times a year. The pulmonologist said the weight loss was very significant to her health of her lungs and heart.

My 8 year old daughter stitched a needlepoint (painted canvas) ornament and a cross stitch ornament. I will do the finishing work this week on them to make them into ornaments for Christmas. I'm in the middle of making an Altoid tin into a keepsake box with a cross-stitch design on the top.

Is there a definite way to diagnose it? I was under the impression there wasn't. I had a carpal tunnel test done to rule that out, but after they ruled that out they just said I must have tendonitis.
ps...I do not recommend a test for carpal tunnel. It's awful!!!
Generally, tendonitis tends to be on top of the wrist and carpal tunnel tends to be the inside of the wrist. Both are from over use. My dr. says the best way to let it heal is to let the wrist rest.

Does your brace have a splint for the thumb area. Keeping the wrist straight helps. I've used the heating pad when pain was very bad. Anti-inflammatories help. One thing to also try is to not use the wrist and let it rest. Sometimes it's from overuse. That is what the dr. recommended when my son had tendonitis in the ankle/heel. It worked. It lets the swelling decrease. Could you not knit/crochet for a while and see if it helps.

Do you have a definite diagnosis? Where is the pain? Top of the wrist?

Joann's teacher rewards card come from the national headquarters. You sign up online. The local stores have no say.
Here is the link.

I get my Joann's card every year at the store's customer service desk. You just have to show a teacher's id. I use my HSLDA card and my local homeschool group issues homeschool teacher's cards (or you can make your own).

Knit. Both of those are cute patterns!

Based on your info, I interpret it more along the lines of "why aren't you in school?" Look at the time frame. It's a morning on a weekday. Your son is 18 so he could look younger than that.

Well. In truth, some people are going to be angry if they know it's her. Whether she is in the right or not is irrelevant to that fact. This is free curriculum & that option being removed from some families will tick them off. So it definitely is a real concern she will have to weigh when figuring out how to approach this. For some people this won't be about religion but finances.
I agree. Speaking up for what you think is right will make someone angry (regardless of the perspective represented). How others react is out of her control and, unfortunately, that is the risk that comes with speaking up. They also have the right not to like what she is doing. So you can't have it both ways. Speak up and risk the reaction of others or not speak up and live with something that COULD be illegal. Again, no one has established illegality of the curriculum because it's in a library not the classroom. That is something that courts decide. The OP can consult a lawyer or the ACLU on how to proceed.

Related to the payback, you need to see how this will affect your income taxes. Until it is paid back, it is considered income. What happens to your taxes after you pay it back?

So is this a charter school or an enrichment program for homeschoolers? Is it public? I'm confused.
While everyone is comment on Christianity and schools, didn't anyone read my links about charter schools linked to other religions?
-
I did a search on religion and charter schools and it seems some of the legal issues have already been brought up. While these involve actual religion in the classroom, these may help the OP.

If they picked up any of the books mentioned and even remotely flipped through them before borrowing something, I think they would see that they are Christian. There is no hidden text in these books. Rod & Staff even manages to make math holy.
I think the issue is simply whether your friend wants to speak up or not. Only she can decide that honestly. I would definitely have her "next step" be to talk with someone. She doesn't even need to say she isn't religious - that's irrelevant to her concern, she can simply ask about the legality of offering it (I was under the impression charters couldn't offer anything religious, is that right??). Or as mentioned previously, she can call someone directly that knows homeschool laws & ask them before persuing this further.
The issue wouldn't be under homeschool laws but rather charter school/public school laws.
If she wants a definite answer, the best way to consult a lawyer. I don't see how the discussion here, as interesting as it is, will help her unless she takes the step to ask about the legality. Then the school board/trustees (?) have an obligation to look into the legality.

It's the latter.
It is still a library, not a required curriculum for use. That's the sticky part. The OP could request more books of type X and type Y be brought in.
-
I just skimmed through the link I posted. P. 61 addresses this issue. This document is posted by a group for separation of church and state. I think that Supreme Court case is a basis for this situation. It states that you can't use religious reasons to get rid of a book from a library. A library is very different from curriculum in the classroom.
If the OP is that concerned, he/she should consult a constitutional lawyer or call the ACLU.

In an online search, I found this: https://www.au.org/files/Religion%20in%20the%20Public%20Schools%20-%20entire%20text_1.pdf
I know the source could be biased but I think the citations are valid and gives you a research point to start with.

Since there is no loan, you don't have to fix the car. However, be sure that your car will still pass inspection with the damage.

I was looking up eligibility. It says you need to have worked for 10 years in Medicare-covered employment. That counts all work, including part-time jobs as a teenager, right? I have no idea if I've worked a total of 10 years in my life. I've been a SAHM for 17 years. I wish I knew my employment history. Would Social Security have that information?
The 10 years refers to not having to pay for Part A. You will still be eligible for Part A Medicare but they will take the premium out of your SS check.

Do you need 4-wheel drive? The NV doesn't have 4-wheel drive. We looked into buying one but I need 4-wheel drive.

The purpose of the full names is to show that the students are legitimate clients and are not set up for the advertisement. This is standard in advertisement procedures. If written testimonials are given on any advertisements, the least amount of information is a first name, last initial and place of residence OR a first and last name. A first name and last initial are not quite enough for legitimacy. He is just trying to build his business and he thinks that real videos of real students would show his results and his teaching methods.
If you do not want to participate, please just don't sign it. Please don't make It out like he is trying to put students in danger. While there are weirdos out there, many people are browsing to find out where their child could take lessons. I've given written testimonials for some businesses and first name, last initial and place of residence were required.

The dermatologist recommended soaking in a tub with a couple capsules of CuTar and then applying the creams and steroids. If you have scabby eczema, then soak in a tub with a half-cup of bleach to help the scabs heal. Then apply Bactroban (prescription) to the scabs. I have to say this worked really well. Once the eczema was under control, we just did the soaking and moisturizing creams for maintenance. If things flared up, we brought out the steroid creams. A lot of eczema treatment is trial and error. Some creams (prescription and non-prescription) may not work well enough for your type of eczema. Also, if it is an allergy, finding the source of the allergy will really help. For this child's case, we really had no allergies that would could explain the eczema.

Speaking to the person privately in advance to explain the situation and not throw it in her face publicly? Give it privately to those who are invited and not discuss it in front of those uninvited?
DD really likes all the other kids going and gets along well with all of them.
After sleeping on it and dreaming of Ethel from the Worst Witch all night, I'm not feeling so charitable as I was last night. I think none of the girls will go and that I may tell the little girl that the kids cannot play with her for at least a little while. Maybe we can try again in a few weeks with a higher level of supervision.
I think we will have to talk with her and her mother if we no longer allow the child to play with ours, but I don't want to ruin this kid's party. I kind of doubt the mom will care anyway.
Oh- I did find the envelope for the invite. It only has older DDs names on it. I can't tell if it is an adult or a child's handwriting, but the message is clear.
Honestly, telling the little girl that they can't play with her because the younger one wasn't invited is rude. Just decline the invitation and make your kids scarce for the next few weeks if you don't want your girls to play with her. I would keep it simple. I wouldn't contribute any more to the drama.

I would find some local classes and enroll her in a class. Most knitting shops have learn-to-knit classes or drop-in classes. Most sewing stores have sewing classes. I taught my daughter, age 8, how to do the basics - casting on, knit, purl, follow a pattern, etc. We go to a drop-in class and the teacher shows her how to do the things such as increasing and yarn overs in the pattern. She has made lots of stuff for her doll and she wants to make a sweater next. It is well worth the cost.

Having an overabundance of food is not gluttony. Gluttony is committed by a person, not a buffet. If a person cannot control how much they eat or drink, then that is gluttony.
