Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / August 2004

I am all moved into my dorm and it's great. The room is VERY cozy and
colorful and it really has everything I need. My roommate is great. One
thing that I love the most is that I don't think we are the same type of
people in a sense that we will hang out together on the weekends, ...

My course requires me to read some really awful legal cases. Many of them
have been involving children. I think a lot of them are there to desensitize
you for when you're actually on the job.
Tonight was particularly awful. It was about a mother who abandoned her

Lina,
I saw you mentioned selling Pampered Chef and was wondering if you could
find something out for me.   I purchased the large chef's knife a few years
ago at a PC show.  I don't know any local reps.  But when I went to sharpen

Okay, I'm a bit of a sneaky mom, but recently I've been letting the kids
play "robot". We have one of those Roomba Discovery vacuums and I found
that by making it a special treat my kids actually want to vacuum. If I
ask them to put their dishes in the dishwasher, you'd think I'd ...

I'm getting really conflicting answers here. Dr. Sears says 12 - 18 months,
but I seem to recall 2 years??

Folks, I'd appreciate (positive) feedback, OK?

This is an INCREDIBLE article. Maybe it has something to do with the
emotional attachment I have to the all too forgotten sport of swimming or
the fact that I can relate, but I think anyone, even those on the outside of
swimming, can see the importance of this article. Anyway, it ...

DS was in the emergency room last night.
He is 3 - has had chronic constipation for his whole young life. I tried to
get a referel to a G.I. specialist on his 3 year old visit because i thought
things were going downhill. The poor kid didn't "go" for 2 weeks and has

Our past and present are filled with stories of people who have
overcome failure, disability, or past conditions to lead successful,
inspirational lives.
Thomas Edison persisted through ten thousand failures before inventing

Not sure if you will remember me but I just wanted to stop by and say Hi.  I
cannot believe that it has been over a year since I touched base you all.
Will be back later to give you a full update.

1)  Ds is currently in the National Guard.  He has not received one
bit of pay since January of this year, and that was his bonus for
completing his basic training.  He's still attending his drills and

Yesterday (on her birthday) my mom decided she wants to go to the Olymics in
Athens so today she is on a plane for Greece!

Hey Guys,
Is this possible?  I'm going to be 40 this year (YIKES!!). I think I've been
having hot flashes lately.  My body just seems to turn into a furnace and I
fantasize about going outside and there being snow outside.  It's very

Yeah, you read that right.  I've been cleaning and decluttering trying to be
ready one way or another to have a tag sale next weekend so the house is
ready for showing soon.  Today I did a major shake down on the kitchen,
among other places.  While scrubbing away to remove all ...

I woke up yesterday with a rash.  It was only on my chest... hips to
breasts.  It seemed to be getting lighter (small dots very very close
together) as the day went on.  It really didn't itch much except when it
grew warmer.  I barely noticed it. By the time the day ended I could ...
