Next week, my husband will be attending a meeting with our child's school for my kindergartener. He does have a slight speech problem (I believe due to having a pacifer too long!), and they're talking about speech therapy, which is great, along with special education?? We know his score from the first couple of weeks of school was quite low for where he needed to be but is doing really well now and do not feel he needs special ed. When we received this letter to meet with the principal, speech therapist, special education teacher, and his teacher next week about this, we were shocked. I had just recently had a parent-teacher phone conference with his teacher, and she never mentioned this to me,just how he's doing so much better. What do we do in this situation? We do want him to have the best education possible but also don't want to be conned into something for the sake of a "quota." I guess we go and see what they have to say. Actually, my husband will be going as I need to stay home with our little one, but he's way better at speaking his mind than I am. He'll have no problem speaking up, if need-be.

I'd get a similar thing with a neighbor (sm()
he's yell over, "Where ya goin now?" After I lived and learned, I reply, "I don't know."
I had a similar thing happen on I-40 in Arizona once - sm
I was driving from SF to New Mexico, and since I hadn't been on I-40 before, it was all new to me, and I wanted to keep going. I dumbly passed the last town for MILES, and then it was dark. Was dead-tired, but had to keep going. I kept hallucinating and seeing people standing by the road, and also animals - cows, horses, bears, etc. I'd look once, think I saw it, then look again and it'd be gone, or else be a cactus or a rock or something. (Those saguaros DO look alot like people!). Further down the road I passed a yellow sign that said 'Watch For Animals', and remember thinking to myself, 'Wow! I guess someone else has been hallucinating, too!'
Not surprisingly, that very next morning is the day I first started drinking COFFEE.
I had a similar thing happen at my prior - sm
residence. I rented a cottage on a large estate, lived there 8 years, and then the owners wanted to turn it back into a guest-cottage for visiting kids & grandchildren. I can understand that. But I know how these guys at my current apt. operate: (1) No one EVER gets their deposit back. I can forget about it anyway, 'cuz my rugs and fridge are almost as old as I am! ;)
(2) But I've seen their *upgrades* - and all they'll do is put in a cheap, thin Berber carpet with no padding underneath, and maybe paint the walls. Then they'll turn around and rent the place for $1800 a month.
Similar thing here about a friend keeping in touch
Over the past 40+ years one of my girlfriends had stayed in touch with me until she had a son who died about 2-3 years ago. I made the big mistake, I guess, of repeating some things she herself had said when he was alive and basically she quit talking after that. Oh, well, she was the one who always needed helping and emotional support, had 2 sons who were either alcoholic or druggies or both and ran herself silly over grown men always bending over backwards, taking money she got from social security and paying their bills, letting them mooch off her, with her giving them cell phones so they could stay in touch, acted as if they were 4 years old, just literally enabling them to run her crazy. I guess I made the mistake of repeating what she had told me (and everyone else she knew).
the underlying read-between-the-lines message of the insurance lobbyist's message was (sm)
to, yes, appeal the denied claim. However, she lobbies for the insurance companies. She comes across sounding like she's on the patient's side but in reality she is on the side of the insurance company. The insurance company gets to deny whatever claims they want right off the bat. That leaves the SICK patient (who needs the coverage NOW when they are sick) to have to go through the appeals process. That could take quite a while. Imagine a cancer patient being denied some form of treatment that is going to help them. They now have to go through the appeals process (or pay out of pocket) in order for that treatment to be covered. In the MEANTIME their cancer is progressing. From the point of view of the insurance company, if they drag it out long enough they don't have to pay for it at all. That same insurance lobbyist was on 20/20 a little while back and basically came right out and said that the insurance companies COULDN'T AFFORD to pay for coverage for sick people. She's not on the patient's side.
Thank you very much for posting that.
I felt like I was making fun of obese people in having the opinion that obesity is a choice. But, I still stand behind the fact that it certainly is a CHOICE, and until one who is obese owns up to their lifestyle habits and stop blaming others, they will never lose that weight, but simply live each day thinking they have an "excuse".
This could be me posting...
I go through the same thing every year. In fact, when I first got married I had no idea what these baskets were. I had not even heard of them. I was using one that has a plastic insert liner for my sponges by my sink when MIL got a little offended and told me how expensive they are.
I have only been married six years, so far only six baskets, that I keep in the cupboard above my fridge. Don't know what I will do when I run out room up there. I don't mind the baskets, I just don't know what to do with them. About the only time I use them is when I have company for dinner and I use them for the rolls.
Thank you for posting this!
I checked out the website - www.steppables.com. We have a stone path down a slope in our back yard and I want to plant fragrant ground cover in the spaces between the stones. That is a great site!
Thanks for posting this....
I was not aware of this case. It is good to get the information out there. I pray for her safe return.
Oh wow...thanks for posting that...
we have a 10-week-old boxer and have been picking up toys here and there for him...thanks for letting me know what NOT to get...that is scary...poor thing!!
Thanks to all of you for posting
I really appreciate it!
Could someone help with posting a pic, please
Every time I have tried to do this by clicking on 'Click here to Upload Image!', a javascript error occurs, with javascript:void(0); in the bar at the bottom of my screen.
I thought I had uploaded a pic with no problems here before, but cannot seem to do it today. I finally was able to get my son to take a couple of pictures of my recliner with footpedal setup and was all geared up to post them 
TIA for any advice/assistance!
Thank you for posting...
I haven't seen the previous discussion about IQ, but I can understand the sentiment in your post. I also think that others' expectations of "the smart one" can weigh heavily on you. I still feel guilty for not being as "successful" as other people expected me to be at this point in my life. At times I think everyday life would have been a little happier if I had been a little more average or if I had realized that the only person I have to make happy right now is myself :)
Thank you for posting...sm
I looked at the link, and it made me all teary eyed. Those poor dogs have been through so much too. I have read about some of those pits that were rehabilitated, and honestly the way they have managed to still love after what they have gone through is just amazing. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for posting this!! - nm

You might try posting
On the main board about this. If find that I get more help about equipment and IT issues over there.
I would say find a used computer store. Some times they only charge $50 an hour to look at it for you and if they can fix it in that hour there are no additional charges. I would definitely work on it before it goes out completely on you.
Thanks for posting this......... sm
This shows what happens when people care about other people. What started out as something to help herself over the holiday became a wonderful outpouring of love and friendship. 
thanks for posting
I can't believe I thought I was the only one who went through this. I actually feel better now.
Seems like the lesson to learn from all of this is that women need to learn to be kinder to one another, we can cause each other a lot of pain by using children against each other.
I'm only posting this
so that you know that your notion of the uncircumcised penis as "gross" is so juvenile & ethnocentric that it doesn't even warrant an answer.
Remind yourself never to go to Europe.
This is a different than what you were posting
You asked people to divulge 8 things about themselves other people would not want to know about. I read it and thought if you don't want to know about it why are you asking.
This post is inquiring about the frequency people have with their "encounters". I would imagine wanting to know if there is "normalcy", which I have wondered too whether or not I need to be taking something to increase my libido or is it normal that other people have sex less frequently than I do.
Maybe your post below should have been 8 things about me that would surprise you or something like that, and just keep out the really gross things (eating habits). The having "delicious" sex part didn't offend me but the other items you listed made me a little queezy, but people generally get turned off by unpleasant things about other people.
In looking at your posting I see where you said
you asked about fish oil and then when someone said not FDA approved, you did not give? To me if you do not overdo it, what in the world could be the matter with fish oil? As a mother, do you have to ask each and every little thing you might possibly give your child. What about an aspirin, Tylenol, the same? I think common sense might play into some of this. If I had read fish oil was good for depression, I would never have to ask anyone for a second opinion, be it a physician or my next door neighbor.
Thanks so much for posting ...
I am such a sap it brought a tear to my eye.

Update since the last posting...sm
We saw the doctor yesterday and he wasn't concerned about the ultrasound results. The beta HCG drawn on Monday came back as being strong and consistent with a 6-8 week pregnancy. We'll know the results of today's tests tomorrow but it looks like we're ok. Whew!
what's PH? Posting Handle?????
posting handle!!! lol
ok, said I wasn't posting again, but...
 BRAVO...excellent post...I was practically jumping outta my seat reading your post...THANK YOU..and thank your daughter personally from me for giving so much of herself and caring so much for the otherwise unfortunate children out there. Her students are blessed beyond measure and she will surely be richly rewarded for her hard work and dedication to these children...again........... to you and your daughter (you are undoubtedly an AWESOME mother!)
I was just thinking of posting for those in CA
wondering if any of you are close. My brother is supposed to be taking a team to a robotic car competition in Colton and from what I can tell that is a little too close.

Hey, thanks for posting that link - I definitely
recognize the reindeer! I have no idea what must have happened to ours...
Me, too. Thank you for posting about that condition.
I've always had larger dogs and had no idea such a thing existed. Hopefully it will help someone learn about the condition.
The risks of posting
GF- I am sorry you were ganged up on here. Happens frequently. It's easy to judge others as we sit back in our chairs, comparing other families to our own. Can't say I'm not guilty of doing the same.
Your question was about the key, not about the situation and all it may entail. Unfortunately most people chose to question the details around your family situation. You owe no one an explanation.
My thoughts on the key: You did the right thing. His place of residence will no longer be at your house, but at your daughter's house. Therefore, he should only have a key to her house.
I think they are the ones posting truth about ESL &

Thanks for posting. I see a lot of your posts and I think we have a
death would not be sad to someone. I find it all sad, that he had mental issues maybe, depression or just hooked on drugs, but its all sad. Other's misfortune is sad to me.
Thanks for posting and I did read it all
So funny but my daughter told me about a month ago she had an extremely happy childhood- first she had told me that, idealic (spelling?) is what she called it. I felt like I did the best in raising them. My daughter is really happy for me and the life I have now. A lot of people do not understand what the love of money can do- but I have seen for myself. My daughter and husband both suggested the answering machine. I have just asked and asked for her to not assume I am angry, just ask me- I do not think that is asking too much of her. Many people who really know me, friends, family and the like tell me they are happy for what I have now as how I have had to struggle before. You cannot change people's minds- people on here post what they feel- that is ok. I read all posts and I sleep good at night, not ashamed nor bothered by others. I wish everyone a good life. Not bitter as others have said on here and I think the lack of my handing out more money ended the relationship with my son and his family. I have an aunt who said the son will never have any kind of good luck for the way he has treated me- she has been around and she knows the circumstances -others here only know what they think. Thanks again.
She must like the answers as she is posting again
Here she goes again.
Instead of posting the idea here
Why not go and actually do it!!! I bet you'll be back here to advertise your new site, too.
Thanks for posting. I will check it out.

Oh, so so cute! Thanks for posting this.

Really lovely. Thanks for posting. I don't

Have read your posting and you say
he put the diagnosis of NIDDM on requestion paper- now having done this, is this perhaps what he thinks it might be and not a final diagnosis- sometimes a preliminary diagnosis written down when they are checking for a specific disease or abnormality. What was the final reading or did you ask? A preliminary could be he had to have a diagnosis to check a specific test.
I love that. Thanks for posting.

Wow, this is wonderful advice. Thanks for posting this and WELCOME
lol - read your reply after posting exactly the same
Court-ordered child support to feed, clothe, and house the child is expected...in addition to paying for medical expenses. I'm glad my GD's parents don't send gifts for any of the holidays so I am not left to feel resentment at their not paying child support. Taking proper care of a child is much more important than being a superficial person (as in you ex-SIL's example).
Wow..we always had grilled cheese too! Thanks for posting..sm
It is very hard to go to all the places that I once shared with my mom. I am trying to keep her in my heart and do all the fun and memorable things with my daughters. Everything I do seems to bring her close to my heart.. and makes me cry for her. Thanks again for posting. Take Care.
Just was posting a news story that I
thought some people might be interested in. Believe me, I do not care about him one bit. Cannot stand him. Yes, quite ironic especially since "his book" is out today. Do not plan on reading that either, even though $$ is going to the Goldman Family/Brown Family and/or the children. Not really sure on that one.
