AMJ Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've been misquoted! (And I wish I had access to fun emojis!) You know how to find the WTM forum emojis, right? (click the smiley above where you type in a post, then look at the bottom. Pages of emojis.) As for the others, you COULD copy and paste the emojis others post into a document and save it locally, and then you have your own source to go back to when you want them. Or you can ask Renai. Renai is a real wiz at finding unique emojis! Speaking of which, where is Renai anyway? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 He went to PS preschool last year where they did the small group thing. It was fine, but not great. When school let out for the summer, I started homeschooling and started the private speech. I have seen improvements in just a few months. I'm not entirely sure if it's because of the different therapy, because we've started working on phonics and phonemic awareness daily at home, or a combination of whatever other reasons. Whatever it is, it seems to be working. I don't think I will stop. And we (finally) met our deductible, so the money thing won't be as much of an issue. Anyway, I feel like I'm bringing down the spirit of this thread. Chicken nuggets, anyone? Don't worry about the thread. We are here for you and will gladly listen. This really is the best thread, and has helped a lot of us weather quite a lot of storms. We're glad you are here! But can I have some chocolate? I'm not supposed to eat breaded nuggets anymore.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I don't want to go to the dentist. I HATE going to the dentist.

If I'm not dyeing my hair, I'm filling prescriptions or buying vitamins or exercising to try not to lose muscle tone. ETA: I'm ready for the fun parts.

AMJ Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I had to deal with the doctor's office today. I hate dealing with the doctor's office. I always feel so stupid. They want to know dates. I can't remember dates. So I keep a list of them handy for when they want to know what year my children were born in. I know how old they are, but I cannot for the life of me remember the year. Same thing with my wedding anniversary or other important dates. I remember all kinds of important things--but not when they happened. It's very strange. I can tell you exactly where to find anything on a library shelf, because I just know where books are. I can find things that the library puts in the wrong place simply by knowing the shape and look of the book. I can tell you where to find a certain description or piece of dialog on a page, but I can't tell you the page number. Hand me the book and I can get right to it. I just know where it is, but I don't know the dang page number! :crying: So I get to feel stupid every time somebody asks me for a phone number or a birthday or a page number. Imma go make a cup of tea and sip it until I feel less dumb. But you are able to provide landmarks and details that help lost people find their way. Knowing names of streets isn't helpful when the streets are named the same or you can't find street signs, but knowing to turn at the house that has the lavender trim and go three driveways down is harder to mess up. You are like me -- we notice so many things that others don't. You're not stupid, you are differently smart, and that's an important commodity. And I might joke about how the year in which we are married makes it harder for DH to forget how many years we've been married, but in truth I'm the one who has had to do the math more than once. We were married in the year 2000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I taught school, I had to sign permission slips etc. I just used J instead of my first name. Then one time I went to sign a credit card receipt. I wrote the J and couldn't remember what came next.

I have a persnickety doctor who I will have to report back to next month, so if I can make a case then I will be better off. If I can't convince him I might end up "cheating" once in a while. Full-fat dairy just tastes so much better, and I don't eat much because it's filling.

Renai Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I wanted to be Cherokee when I was a kid. My father always told me that we were part Cherokee. I've been doing genealogy and found out that I'm part Creek (Muscogee). I haven't found any Cherokee yet. There's always been rumors that there was Cherokee in our family. I was doing our genealogy and haven't found one yet. Census shows a few mulattos, but I don't know where the lattos come from... Unless it's my grandmother's dad, whom she never knew.

ikslo Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Artificial sweeteners ARE of the devil. Except for the people they help. And for them I am happy they have sweetness in their life. I am also one who does not think sugar is bad. It is the lack of movement/overeating which generally contributes to obesity. Not everyone is in control of that due to health reasons, and for those people low fat milk and artificial sweeteners have their place. But a generally healthy and active child/adult? Rock the whole milk, baby! Rock the sugar. No, seriously. Rock candy is the bomb. ETA: I am not a doctor, and I have never read any studies on this topic. I'm just stubborn with my opinions.

Junie Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 We drink a lot of whole milk here. I feel better if I don't drink milk, so I only have about one glass per month. I eat a lot of yogurt, though. We used whole milk because it was recommended for our toddlers. Since none of the kids is overweight, and some of them are underweight, we continue with the whole milk. Plus, it tastes better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
