fluorescein - made an Expander for that one finally

Many more everyday repeated words like and, had, that, this, etc.

Not a whole lot of new information, just mostly confirmation of things that are already known, like yes, Desmond's failure to reset the computer was the cause of the airplane crash and later when Desmond turned the key it did temporarily make the island visible so Penny knows about it - but they didn't follow up on that. This is my guess - but presumably the ship that the woman who parachuted onto the island is trying to contact was sent by Penny.

They touched on the idea of the interconnectedness of these people but very lightly - just hinted that there was something that brought this particular group of people together. Interestingly, they didn't say anything at all about the people from the tail section, but the show that was run last night was only 45 minutes because Grey's Anatomy ran 15 minutes over. The one that will be shown next Wednesday is a full hour - I'm going to watch that, too.

The main thing (as far as I'm concerned) is they reiterated that this is not purgatory or anything like that, everyone is actually alive, but they said they are....let me think....."somewhere in the space-time continuum."

Interesting....

I posted about this a few months ago. He is 7 years old and was on Singulair, and it literally caused him to have severe psychiatric problems, to the point of saying he wished he had never been born, once that he was going to take a hatchet and chop off my toes, and generally being an extremely unhappy little boy. Kids as young as 2 years old are being put on this medication, and very few parents are aware that it can cause these kinds of side effects. I am not saying that this little girl is on it or if there is even a way to find out, but it is something to consider. Thankfully we figured out what was going on with my son, and he has been back to a normal happy loving 7-year-old boy ever since.

Anything good happen?  Did Nick reappear?  Please update me...

Little Tyne sure had a great time at her party today! I gave her a small piece of her doggie cake and mom, dad and I had one too! It actually was quite good, but dry, not sugary sweet, of course.  I gave her just a little vanilla ice cream with her cake. Later the big guns!  Her Dad went into the TV room and brought her brand new toy out on the porch!  She played with it all evening and even when I was leaving she was still under the end table between her mom and me while we were watching TV, playing with her new rope toy. She sure had a great day! I said to my mom tonight that it takes so little to bring joy to pets and make them feel loved. Making an animal feel loved and safe is everything to me. I am going to volunteer at our local S.P.C.A. this fall for sure. The orientation is the second Saturday of each month. I work every other Saturday, and the first one that is free is October 13. I will be there!

The only things she chose to complain about were nitpicky things -- what they serve for dinner.  Most kids don't have dinner with their parents.  Last time I checked PB&J and yogurt were pretty healthy.  Her GS has ADHD.  He isn't going to "behave" on command.  Any MT would know that.  First she complains because they don't correct them, then she complains because they are, just not to her standards.  Instead of criticizing her kids, she should be trying to help the situation. 

Did she hit a nerve with me?  Absolutely.  My parenting skills are always being critiqued.  From the time my oldest son was old enough to eat until about the age of 6, I had to pack PB&J everywhere we went.  He refused to eat anything else.  Was it because I didn't offer it to him, no.  It was because that's what he liked and that's what he could control.  My other child has ODD -- oppositional defiant disorder.  Is it because I didn't parent him correctly?  No, it's because that's how he's wired.  I have 2 other children who are not like this.  They were all raised in the same house under the same rules.  I am constantly berated by my father for not "cracking the whip" on him and by my mother for being "too strict."  It's so easy to sit back as GPs and offer criticism after criticism.  Then after upsetting DS or DD, you can go back home and not be the one who on top of your feelings of inadequacy now has to deal with a difficult child. 

I could see if it the OP said the children were malnourished or not cleaned and clothed properly, but she's complaining about yogurt and fishsticks.  She's complaining about an ADHD child who doesn't behave.
