Yes, my doctor (has delivered 4 out 5 of our babies) is very good looking. My dh and I laugh about it sometimes. We have a nickname for him, but not one that I'll share publicly lol. ;) More importantly, he's an amazing and gentle doctor and cares for our entire family.

Ah. Gotcha.

I'm confused. How is what she said to you being "mean" to you? I think what you said to her was horrible. :001_huh:

Praying...

:iagree::blink: My parents used Abeka at certain points in my homeschooling career. Back then, there wasn't much else available. Thankfully, I was also taught to think for myself. ;) I would never use either of those curriculums with my children. There is a local private school that uses BJU and several of my friends send their children to it. I don't get it. There is so much amazing curriculum available! Why use something so...controversial and mediocre? :confused: ETA to discuss vouchers- our State Constitution doesn't allow for vouchers but I still think there needs to be SOMETHING done to encourage school choice. What about some sort of tax credit system?

No, it is most definitely a used stick. You can see the two lines.:001_huh: She put the cap back on the end, so that's something, but still. And only one person has commented. "I hope it's clean...". I think everyone is eeked out. Oh, and HER commentary on the chewing photo? "He knows where this stick has been. lol." He's 4 years old. :glare: It's all just really, really bizarre. And gross. And disgusting. Her whole life is pretty much TMI though. I'm pretty sure she thinks that everything about her is so stinking adorable the entire world MUST know it all. I am convinced that certain people should not be allowed on FB. :tongue_smilie: And yes, I utilized that little "unsubscribe" button tonight... ;)

Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!!!:ack2:

I have a FB "friend" (we aren't close) who just changed her profile pic to a her positive pregnancy test. Ok. I can handle that. A little bit of an odd way to announce to the general public that you're expecting, considering most people probably don't really wish to view a stick on which you just urinated, but whatever floats your boat, right? She then proceeded to post SEVERAL pictures of her children POSING with the positive pee sticks. In one, her son is CHEWING on the pee stick. Like, on the peed on end. In another, her son is STICKING THE PEE STICK IN HIS EYE. :blink: Then she posted a photo of her PARENTS posing with the pee sticks. Granted, she's one of those "shares WAY too much information on FB" types. I'm actually a little surprised she didn't post pictures of herself, ahem, using the pee sticks. :tongue_smilie:

You're lucky. I managed to skim through it. I need to go bleach my brain now... :iagree:

You forgot vodka. Earplugs, duct tape, knockout gas and vodka. That way when dh asks you what's for supper, you have something immediately available to calm yourself. ;)

:iagree::iagree::iagree: Seriously. What is WITH this weird, Christian obsession with people's s*x lives?!? :001_huh:

:lol: At the Irish Pub next door to our studio the waiters wear kilts. I can't help but smile every time I see them. ;)

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers?

This. It all goes in the garage and we don't park in there. And it drives me batty. :glare:

:iagree:

Yes, my 6 year old had it a few weeks back. It was very hot and itchy and spread extremely rapidly. He was given oral antibiotics that cleared it up very quickly.

We attend a fairly large church (8,000 members, 5 weekend services) and children's classes through 5th grade are available during each service.

:D Our favorite sitter, whom we all adore, goes to college during the school year. The kids miss her so much while she's gone! She sends them letters and care packages from school and they absolutely love that! When summer rolls around, she's the only one they want to watch them. They actually get all excited for us to go out, because that means A is coming! We are so blessed to have her. :iagree:

:iagree::iagree: That was my first thought, too! :)

:iagree:

If it's hot to the touch, and the redness has spread by tomorrow then I would go in. If it's the same, I would just keep doing what you're doing. (We just had to rush my 6 yo in with cellulitis, the redness/heat/swelling was spreading very quickly and covered nearly 6 inches on his leg in less than 24 hours.)

Have you considered the possibility that something came up and they weren't able to make it back into town?

:iagree: Things happen. Sometimes, things just slip your mind. It sucks, but it happens. I wouldn't be angry with her if this was a one-time thing. It certainly doesn't seem like something to ruin the friendship over. Disclaimer: I am notoriously unreliable. I am late to EVERYTHING. I have been known to back out of things last minute because of circumstances beyond my control. It's not that I don't try- it's just really, really hard to get 5 young kids in the car to go places and something almost always happens to make me late- even when I start to leave early. :D

:lol: I must be a horrible parent, because I often try to get away from my kids! :lol:

I WISH it was more often, but usually it's a couple times a month. I wouldn't mind going out like that once a week, especially in the summer.:D We do socialize with friends most weekends- BBQ's, dinners, drinks at one house or the other, swimming etc.
