I'll try to find one but you basically get a variety of jello flavor/colors. For the first color, dissolve the package in about 1.5 cups of boiling water, then take about 1 cup of that mixture and pour it into a dish to make a thin layer. You let the half cup cool a bit, then add 3 TBS of yogurt or sour cream and once the previous layer is set, pour the creamy layer on top. Repeat with various colors until your pan is full.

Based on this thread, no, you're not the only one. It seems like it's pretty common to dislike it.

Here, some districts teachers' unions have a sick bank that each teacher contributes an hour or so a week. If you participate, then you can use as many days as needed out of the bank. So you have teachers who use all their own sick time (5 to 10 days depending) then take as much as needed from the bank.

When my boys had influenza B, the order was do not return to school until fever free for 24 hours. The doc told me that would most likely take a week. So she wrote something to that effect on the note and put the appropriate dates on the note. For strep, the order was written to reflect the child was to stay home until 24 hours of antibiotics were on board. I'm sure if I wanted, the doc could write..."patient under my care. Stay out of school until blah blah blah." And I wouldn't be charged for the note.

I find it exceedingly hard to believe a reputable doctor charges $50 to write a note that a child should not attend school. ERs, Urgent Cares, Peds, Sepcialists, Dentists, Orthodontists...they have forms for this that take a maximum of 30 seconds to fill in. I've had docs charge for school forms or camp forms but it is a nominal fee and sometimes even tho they say it costs $5, they don't always charge.

No advice but I googled Gotham WW and now I am getting ads by them to save $40 with code SAVE40. Maybe it'll save you a bit.

:grouphug: I'm so sorry things are in such turmoil. I hope and pray every one heals quickly and your DS can move on to a wonderful college experience.

You could look at University of Buffalo (New York). Housing and COL is low, taxes are high, but it is a great place to live and raise a family.

:grouphug: I'm so sorry. We had (2 very serviceable to us) vehicles totaled thru others' negligence* and the replacement money didn't come close to how valuable the vehicles were to us. *one was totaled by someone running a stop sign and the other by a drunk driver.

This is from an article on the challenges of dealing with child-on-child sexual abuse. "Basic data about child-on-child sex abuse is detailed in an authoritative, Justice Department-sponsored analysis of crime data from 29 states. Conducted by three prominent researchers, the 2009 analysis found that juveniles accounted for 35.6% of the people identified by police as having committed sex offenses against minors. Of these young offenders, 93% were male, and the peak ages for offending were 12 through 14, the researchers found. Of the victims, 59% were younger than 12 and 75% were female. The report referred to a popular misconception that juvenile sex offenders are likely to reoffend, and said numerous studies over the years have shown the opposite — that 85 to 95% of offending youth are never again arrested for sex crimes." http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-01-07/child-sex-abuse/52431616/1

http://sasian.org/sibling-sexual-abuse-a-parents-guide/ I was reading this on a website about sibling sexual abuse, in the parent handbook: "What Factors contribute to sibling sexual abuse? *Lack of sex education *Children and teens who are not taught in an age-appropriate way about their physical and sexual development are more likely to engage in sexually intrusive behaviour. *Inadequate socialization *Children who are not allowed to play with their peers, and teenagers who aren’t allowed to date, dance or socialize outside the home, are more likely to sexually abuse younger siblings. *Denial" All still applicable to the Duggar household
