My son was told to go the back to the coat closet

In Reply to: They will soon have a zone designated for this. - FARTING ZONE!
His teacher would call me and write notes home, your son has been farting in class. Well, finally I had to explain to her before she marked in his chart that he was a terrorist (letting off noxious gas), that he was born with pyloric stenosis. He had the surgery at 8 weeks old. This kid could vomit from my shoulder to the nieghbor's house. He still can burp very loud, and is gaseous, but he has grown older and learned to let them out silently if possible, but at times I have told him if he thought that was silent, then he needs a hearing test.  I am in no way making light of the original post, just trying to shed some "stink" on my experiences with schools and flatulence. If you do not know what pyloric stenosis is, then look it up, he was 12 hours away from death by dehydration.

Just back from the physician, told him this would be a
very quick visit, did not want the Synthroid any more and asked for and got the Armour instead. Told him since first diagnosed no difference in any symptoms except none of the intense itching like at first, still weight, dry skin, hair and so on and so forth. I will definitely pay Sallys a visit and get what you are talking about. I believe in trying what others have used and believe in. Thanks!
Closet psychos
Yes, I've had that happen plenty and even had people gleefully expand on all their torturing cat stories "one time me and my buddy took a cat and...". It's sick. Anybody who would treat animals that way and then brag about it needs to have the same thing done to them! I stay away from anybody who needs to act like that (and I don't even have cats anymore). Obviously they're not the kind of person you'd want in your house - what if they don't like something else you have - will they feel entitiled to destroy it in some horrific way and then brag? They need mental help!
As far as not wanting cats to rub against them, well, at least they don't slime you with stinking saliva and cover you with mud like a dog does. I agree with other posters that if I don't like a person's pet, child, or anything else they have, I certainly don't feel the need to announce it with pride! To each his own, and its none of my business. The only time I would say anything was if the critter in question was all over me and I wanted it off.
lol upgraded from the closet
I have thought of moving INTO the closet. My husband wanted to put me in the basement but it is not finished yet. I said no way! It's cold and creepy down there. I dont' like to be by myself either. I work better with background noise.
I'm a closet metal head :) nm
O
my cat is 16. she went from living in my empty bedroom to my closet. sm
She goes between my closet and my husband's closet. She is eating well but just does not want to be bothered with us. She has always been a bit shy.
I am out of the closet now, just don't have the hair to sling around anymore!!

Locked my cat in the closet last night, am I forgiven?
Trying to do a good deed finding old towels, sheets, etc. for an animal rescue group that I have started working with, my big and I mean BIG cat got in the bottom of the closet and I shut the door not knowing he was there. I left the house for awhile, came back, couldn’t find, did all the things I knew to get him to show up, shaking his treat bag, running bathwater (he loves to jump over and get a drink of water from the faucets), playing with his toys, nothing, finally went and opened the closet I was looking in beforehand and there he was, all 20 something lbs of him! Well, that stressed me probably more than him but this morning I went to a high kill animal control place and was able to rescue 6 puppies that were due to be put down this morning. I hope the 1 deed this morning overrode my locking up my big boy last night.
I would like to add, my parents (both closet hermits) haha - traveled the US sm
for a year trying to find their retirement home. My mom is originally from MA and my dad from VT. For some reason or another they did not want to move the NE. No desire at all! I personally would have loved it if they decided on the NE so I could visit more often.
In any event, Alaska was their choice, hands down, because of the privacy (from other family members), plus it affords them with all the wilderness they can handle. My dad has already caught his first black bear (it took him weeks) and he just loves it.
Okay, I'm done rambling about AK. Good luck in whatever you decide!
coat
Doncha think you should wait to talk to the owner before you get so upset?
re: coat
Another child from the class might have recognized it as your daughter's and took it home (so it wouldn't get stolen), thinking they'd see each other next time. Give it a couple of days to show up. Depending on the size of the community, if kids all know each other, when would someone get to wear it without it standing out?
may be you in the coat....
Maybe you in a coat and nothing else waiting for him?
lucky coat
Wish all I had to worry about was my kdis lost coat. I got bills - not trying to be disrespectful - your lucky - I'm a MT is USA
Nothing to update really, still no coat - sm
Called several parents, they don't have it, one has not called me back yet and I still need to track down 3 other parents that did not leave their home phone info with the teacher. Teacher did not have it either. I plan on leaving my signs up for at least a month and hope it turns up somehow. Many know I am on the lookout so I hope they spread the word or see it somewhere.
Lost coat
If it were me, I would be angry as heck at my 8 yo for not being responsible for her things. Forgot that someone might have taken it, the child was irresponisble. At 8, she should know better than to leave her things behind. Too bad, so sad, no coat, maybe she'll remember her things next time when she has no coat because she's cold. Learning life lessons are tough and 8 is really old enough to take responsibility.
Just another perspective.
lost coat
Maybe she actually left it at school or someplace other than dance, but is certain in her mind that she last had it at dance. You could be looking in the wrong place. I don't ever trust my memory on things like this because when life is really hectic (whose life with kids is not hectic?), sometimes events run together in my mind. Maybe her coat is at school in the lost and found or in the back of the van under a seat, etc. Just a thought. 
Lost Coat
You bet!! Unless shehad the money to purchase another one. She left it, so it got stolen. If it was grabbed off her back and stolen, that would be another story.
Kids can be kids, but they have to learn responsibility some time. It's the parents that don't teach it that are having issues with their kids. Mine learned early and often that their actions have repercussions, good and bad ones. And they learn from them.
For example, 15 yo daughter is a competitive dancer. When she was probably 10 or so, she goes to a competition and forgets to pack a tutu that she needs for one of her numbers. Do I got back and get it? Nope. Her responsibility and she had to expain to the others in her group that it was at home. Did she ever forget her tutu again? Nope. It usually only takes one time.
We need to be parents, not friends and teach them to live and survive in the world. It is never too young to learn. My 4 yo knows that if she walks out the door without her lunchbox for school that she doesn't have lunch. How many times did this happen? Exactly once. Kids are smarter than you think they are.
Yes! I'm like a dog shedding my winter coat! nm

I call it like I see it, don’t try to sugar coat
What do you call a single person intentionally taking fertility drugs when having 6 kids already? As far as the reduction thing, that had been brought up by the physicians when this person was pregnant- I was not the first to think of that and it is done all the time with multiple pregnancies. Check it out on google.
Laura, what happened with the coat???? Any updates? nm
x
nope, mine was born with a fur coat :)

Sure beats the ol' COAT-HANGER method......
Yuk.
Slather them with a thin coat of vegetable oil SM
and rub on some salt, pepper and a little red pepper. Put them in a baking dish and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for an hour. Then you can slather them with barbecue sause and serve with some rice and veggies.
We love him! He doesn't sugar coat...
anything, which is why I like him so much. If you are in debt and drowning it's usually your own fault by overspending, buying too much house, trying to keep up appearances. While I do understand when there are medical bills, etc, causing debt, when you have a couple of car payments, a huge mortgage, a boat payment, and every credit card charged to the hilt, it's your own fault, not the credit card companies. Live like no one else so later on you can live like no one else! We loved seeing him in October and will probably go see him again this year.
(my daughter's) Lost coat update for those interested - sm
Believe it or not after 3 weeks it has surfaced! One of the 3 girls I had not been able to locate a phone number on told my daughter today at lunch that she had it. She had not been in dance last week (and they did not have dance the week before). It was in her dance bag. She had picked up the scarf and coat (supposedly) because she saw Jess had left them, and then had forgotten about it which I find a little hard to swallow as she sees my daughter every day in school (in the same class/home room all day together). But regardless of all that, she came forward today about it. So I don't know why it took so long, but I am glad my daughter got them both back. So if he taking it was not so innocent I hope she learned something, and my daughter has learned to be a bit more careful with her things. 
Do you wear holiday earrings, pins on your coat, or a
s
so what you're saying is that if your child lost her coat you would make her go the winter(sm)
without one simply because someone ELSE may have stolen it? Wow.
Gorgeous! Very nice coat! Does she have a bit of corgi in her? Looks like our corg/shep. mix. nm
,,,
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

Back-to-back black swans that look like (sm)
a giant moustache. My MIL painted it for us and put our last name on it and my DH nailed it to an outside storage room door. It looks ridiculous, and when the kids have other kids over they always ask why we have a giant moustache on our door!
Hayseed was back a few weeks back
But we haven't heard from her since. I miss her too. I hope she's doing okay.
Dh just told me a something
before it got back home. He took my oldest daughter to an out of town football game. Me and the baby stayed home as it is really too cold for her to be out. Well, he told me that this gal (recently divorced and hot to trot) came and sat by him and they were enjoying the game together.  He said people were staring. All I said was "okay." Okay, I need to keep my head. I should just trust Dh but we are having marital problems and the subject of divorce has come up but I thought we were going to put it behind us and work it out. Help me not blow up and blow it out of proportion. I can sometimes loose my head.
That's what they were told - sm
That the repair would be so obvious, it would be like night and day. I don't know, I guess if it were me, I would definitely want to know just exactly how much my premium would be going up before I made a decision. They do have the option of just havig their LR done for 200-300 dollars though, versus having the entire carpeting replaced and paying a higher premium. So, in reality, they will be paying for the carpeting anyway, like a poster above said.
He just told her (sm)
that he was about to compliment her, and that she could ditch the surprised act and just say thank you. He said something like that a couple of times, in other words to not act so surprised she's getting a compliment and like, really? really? me? and just say thank you, and that's what she did.
She really sang great last night, like she does just about every time.
Boy was I just told - NOT - sm
I just got a call from the mother of this girl who comes over now and then telling me that I am a horrible hostest and how dare I make her daughter feel uncomfortable.
OH PUH-LEEEEEEZ!
I'm laughing, hoping this means we won't see this brat OR her nasty witch of a mother darken our doorstep again.
So this is what happened. The girl comes over to "hang out". I was up from my desk moving a load of laundry from washer to dryer and when I walked back into my office, there she is, typing away on MSN messenger talking to friends.
It is a well known rule in this house by EVERYONE, including the kids that come over, that they do NOT even look in the direction of my computer because it is a company computer and my income depends on it. There are TWO other computers that are for family use. STAY OUT! Clear enough? Apparently not to this little brat.
I came back into my office and told her she needed to get away from my desk, telling her for the millionth time that it is my work desk only. I was nice at this point but not happy.
She then tells me "Just a second, I'm talking." That's when I blew a gasket!
I said, "Get out. Go home. Now." Very firm but not yelling and screaming like I would have loved to do. She turns around and makes this face at me, then pushes my chair back really hard as she is getting up and it bounces off my bookshelf, giving it a good rattle. So as she was walking out the door I simply told her, do not come back. You are not welcome.
Then her witchy mother called. I couldn't care less what the hag was yelling about so I just interrupted her and said, "HEY! She's 15. She should know better than to act like that in someone's home and if YOU don't teach her that BEFORE she does that somewhere else, this will NOT be the last time she gets the boot!" And hung up on her.
My kids were hiding in the hall giggling as all this took place. They never had the guts to tell her to get lost.
Before anyone tries putting a guilt trip on me... this kid is FAR from neglected, comes from a nice home, parents are well off, just SPOILED beyond belief and she believes that everyone should jump when she says jump. I AM NOT PLAYING ALONG!
I told her she should have said
They wouldn't like you either!
What nerve, what stupidity on his part, what ignorance. I am going to address how I feel about cats personally in a separate post and comment on some of the responses I have received. I am very appreciative of the responses and the dialogue back and forth. It is in some way healing, at least to me, and I hope to others.
tell her exactly what you told us
and she needs to be aware of the STDs out there..They think it will never happen to them, but it can...that is why talking with a GYN or nurse practitioner would be a good thing to give her pamphlets and brochures and also keep the lines of communication open between the two of you.
I was always told not to mix
your alcohols (wine coolers, beer, cocktails, etc), but more importantly don't break the seal or you'll be in the ladies' room all night.
Have Fun!!!
Perhaps I should have told the
whole story, but just wanted thoughts based on the information I did provide and the assumption that it did happen. What would you do if it were your child and you were certain that this is what was said?
Thanks to those who have responded. I look forward to seeing what others have to say as well.
Told her that already.

What I told
I have three - told them the truth. It worked for my daughters, worked some for my son. One of the big issues was "parties" and I just said no. They asked why. I told them that I knew them and did not think they would find it especially fun to watch their friends and themselves drink and ralph on other people's shoes. I actually described a few parties I had been to and all the graphic details. They believed me and decided not to go to parties until they were old enough to leave on their own power whenever they wanted. I just told all of them the graphic truth (my mother did not tell me and let me learn everything on my own - that was not such a good idea either in my opinion and she could have saved me a lot of grief if she had only spoken up. My son did drink when he was 18, but only at someone's home and says he did not drive. I believe him because he is now 37 and has no reason not to tell me the truth anymore. So, tell what you feel comfortable with. I think parents can have a big impact on their children when they are honest.
Have you told them what you told us?
I'd lay it right out to them like you just did here. Maybe they truly have no clue as to how it makes you feel.
He just told you
that he's looking for other options. He was being honest with you - he looked and hasn't found anything YET. Get a lawyer, get out of the marriage, and get on with your life.
My ex-MIL told the ex that she would

When my MIL first told me.....
I told her that my SIL was lying. MIL said she thought so too until the doctor said she was pregnant. Still....no ultrasound or anything performed. Still holding out for this to be a false positive.
I have been told that once a dog sm
tastes blood the urge will never stop. I have no idea if this is true, but it seems to make sense in some cases.
I was told that
in the morning is the best time because the pregnancy hormone is most concentrated during that time.
Told ya so! About getting a cat, I mean
I remember when you posted about your mouse problem a few weeks ago. Good for you. I have a cat who is a mousing champion! He would rather catch mice than eat or sleep. I know it's gross, but I don't have any mice.
My DH has never hit me, told him before- sm
we married that if he ever did I would divorce him in two seconds flat (that and cheat on me). I will never put up with any man physically abusing me.
Ok, did what the vet told me to do
this morning, well tried to do it lets say. I was supposed to feed my big kitty separate from the other 2 so all 3 each had their own bowl, water and I took my big boy in my work room, set him and the food down and you would think I was punishing him! He went and crouched under a chair. I just gave up on that idea but what I did do was put all their food down, allowed them x amount of minutes and then took everything up, dried and wet food. Instead of several times a day treats now will only get 2 each at night (very small bits of treats) so hopefully can make it thru the day- might be like trying to get an addict to come off their drugs. Wish me luck.
This is what I was told
by H&R block. I owe big last year because even though I payed estimated I did not pay enough (like I only paid half of what I should have paid, so I owe a lot from last year), plus now my taxes have doubled this year, so what she told me to do is pay the quarterly on time and each month send whatever I can in to the IRS, but make sure I do it every month on a consistent basis so they see you are making good with trying to pay it off. I'll have to explain to them that there is only one income, my taxes doubled this year and I will be paying every month until last years bill is paid off. She said if you call them and set up a payment plan they charge you a $25 fee for setting it up, plus interest for not paying it on time. She said this way you'll still be charged the interest, just not the set up fee. I have worked with the IRS in the past and they really aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be. They have always worked with me in the past and I never got any hassles. But you know...this just sucks big time. I was barely making it last year. Now this year I work 2 weeks every month just to pay taxes. That only gives me 2 weeks a month to pay the rest of my bills. Which means I will be working 7 days a week as many hours as I can fit in a day for the remainder of my life. Will this madness ever end?
What my vet told me
I know some of this is no good since she's already got parvo, but my vet told me this about parvo prevention:
Spray the yard with bleach water wherever the puppy will be going out until they have completed there shots.
NEVER let your dog walk into the vet clinic before they are done with there shots. I had to carry my boxer pup in yesterday and he's 20 pounds now at 12 weeks!
Things could change very rapidly. My mom had a puppy that was fine when she went to bed and dead when she got up in the morning from parvo. It takes over quick.
My mom and I have brought a whole litter back minus one from parvo before, but it required around the clock attention and we both work with horses and have both worked in a vets office where we knew how to give IVs, etc. It was a very long week for us, but after about five days they were back to eating on their own and drinking well and playing.
I wish you luck. I've become very attached to my puppy and if something happened to him I'd be devastated. We are both praying for your puppies good health!
