That is terrible!! Do you think the aide caused the aggression? One of karac's aides was fired and we think it was because she abused Karac. He had some brusies on his arms that we couldn't figure out where they came from. So what did you do? Pat K

New member intro

Hello All--

I have been lurking for a while since I am new at soapmaking and have only

done MP so far. But this weekend I met Shaye so I decided to introduce

myself to the group. My name is Meg and I am married with 4 kids and 6

grandkids. I work full-time so don't have much time for crafts but I have

been making simple candles and MP soap the last few months. I want to try

CP soap very soon.

I picked up some MP base from Shaye and also visited with her a little at a

craft show. She had nice items and very professional looking packaging. I

only wish there had been more customers there to see it.

I wanted to go to the Hilton Apple Festival too but we ended up buying a

bedroom set at an estate sale so we had to go home and clear out the old

stuff to make room for it. Boy, are my muscles sore tonight!

I am looking forward to learning more from all of you and hopefully meeting

more of you in the future.

Hi Meg, I'm sorry you didn't get to the Hilton Apple Fest--I love to meet my

list mates in person! I'm , I live in Spencerport. Saturday was a

huge " washout " for the Applefest----torrential rain has that effect on outdoor

shows. : ( But on the bright side, now I know just where to apply the

waterproofing to my EZ up!!!! Sunday was the most gorgeous day to do an

outdoor

show, sales nearly made up for the losses on Saturday.

I did get to meet Cindi and Judy Blair from Hawkmoon Soaps, very nice ladies.

We shared some laughs and I asked them to pop in here if they would like to meet

a group of wonderful people. : )

Shaye, which show were you at? I guess I didn't realize you had one this

weekend too. Are you doing the RMSC again? I thought you said you were, but I

seem to be losing my marbles these days, so I could be mistaken. LOL!

Anyway, enough rambling----Welcome to our group Meg, I'm glad to have you and I

think you'll like us just fine! : )

New Member Intro

Hi everyone,I'm Amy. I just joined the group today. I'm a SAHM to -2, and -1. My older daughter's (--11, and --9) are with me part time (the rest of the time they are with their dad). I'm married to Lew and we live in Virginia (recently transplanted from Georgia).I started out needing to lose 101 pounds, but so far I've lost 8--YAY! Today I weigh 273, and I want to be at 180 (where I was before I had kids and after the Army ). I also quit smoking last month, so I'm feeling pretty motivated right now.I'm not really using any plan, just walking almost everyday (2 miles/day right now), and eating about 1500-1800 calories a day. I'm trying really hard to eat healthy foods, and not just low calorie, low fat, low carb, etc., because I want to be able to keep eating healthy after I lose the weight.Anyhow, I look forward to getting to know everyone.AmyIf I give in to food today, I will not punish myself. I will forgive myselfand keep reaching for my goal. - - - 100-Plus Files page 100-plus/files100-Plus Links page 100-plus/links

Amy welcome. Quitting smoking and losing so cool. Pat yourself on the back. Sounds like you are on the right track. DONT forget water.

Great start!

>Today I weigh 273,

I fluctuate between 269 - 274. This past Monday I was at 273 again.

> and I want to be at 180 (where I was before > I had kids and after the Army ).

My goal weight is around 220 - the weight I was also at pre-pregnancy (over 21 years ago). No military service, though, just hospital nursing, which could be just as dangerous sometimes in the inner city hospital where I worked.

> I also quit smoking last month,

More than anything else, this was the best thing you could have done to improve your, and your family's, health. I stopped August 1985, myself, after smoking since the late 1960's.

>because I want to be able to keep > eating healthy after I lose the weight.

Like they all say, it has to be a lifestyle change, not a temporary "diet", to be effective long-term.

Kay,

First of all, my mother's name is also Kay.

Welcome. You said that you used to live by La Crosse. Where are you living

now? What a wonderful experience it must have been to live off the land like

that. Where did you find these people? I'm jealous.

I sure hope you can make it to the next food swap so that we can meet you.

You say that he is not incompetent- so you/he are pretty much SOL concerning services. He is an adult- and can do as he pleases- no matter how much it upsets the apple cart.

Hello.My name is , and my situation is a bit different from what I've been reading here in this board. I hope some of you can lead me in the right direction.I am 47, and live in Colorado. The rest of my family lives in Atlanta (East Point area). I believe that my younger brother (age 43) probably has Asperger's. He has been "different" his whole life, and his behaviors are pretty textbook, now that I've been doing some reading on this. However, because my mother has a "blind spot" when it comes to him, he has never been diagnosed or treated in ANY way. He lives with my mother (now 73). While he does help her around the house some, and drives her to doctor's appts, etc. (she can't drive anymore due to vision problems), their normal operating "dynamic" is not all that healthy. Since she doesn't think there's anything wrong with him, she constantly "picks" at him to get a job, pick up his room, etc., etc. He has not held a job since I left Atlanta over 10 years ago. He has no bank account, no health insurance, no nothing really.My concerns are many, of course. What is going to happen to him when she dies? I don't mean to sound cold, but he can't come and live with me. My mother has left her house to all 4 of her children (me, this brother, my sister, and my youngest brother, ages 41 and 39, respectively), and now there is a mortgage on the home that will have to be paid, so if she passes in the near future, the house will probably have to be sold, as my brother has no way of making payments, etc.Additionally, if there is the least suggestion that he might get some "help", i.e., therapy, whatever, he simply goes ballistic. It's impossible to talk to him, to get him to consider that any of us might be concerned about his welfare, rather than just trying to make fun of him, etc. He's not incompetent, he does have a social life, but he's never written a check, never used a computer, never done so many of the things adults need to do because my mom refused to see there was a need to get him any kind of special assistance.Since he's an adult, I don't know where to start looking for services. My mom could probably claim him as a dependent, but he's never been listed has having any kind of disability.My mother is in decent health, but she is 73, and recently was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I am the oldest and the executor of her estate, etc., so I'll have to deal with most of this when she passes. If anyone can lead me to agencies, resources, etc., I would be VERY grateful.Thanks in advance, in Colorado

Ok, thanks for the help!

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I'm in the same situation, believe it or not, but my brother is 41.

You will need to go through your local mental health agency for an

evaluation for services. It is based on income, sliding scale in

most states. The problem is, an adult is harder to diagnos. My

brother finally got a report that stated he had aspergers syndrome,

but it was written up in such a way that a disability judge

requested more information. We still have hopes of getting

disability for him, though, because he cannot care for himself, and

my mom is not getting any younger. He was not happy about our

suspicions, but he doesnt rock the boat much, and may now get the

help he deserves.

Go apply for disability for him now. It takes a long time to

complete the paperwork and the journey to decision, and you may have

a dx before then. Backpay will be paid from the day you applied to

the date he was approved. You should file no less than three times

to get disability. It often takes that to get it paid.

Once you start, you will find what services are available through

the agencies you are working with. For men, there just arent any

services without a diagnosis for disability, though. As much as you

are worried about your mom, realize that it is likely that they have

a very co-dependent relationship, even when it seems she is

demeaning. He may blow up more in reaction to all he hears from

mom, rather than because he thinks nothing is wrong. Even my

brother would admit he didnt have typical relationships, but posed

with the question why, he couldnt answer. He doesnt answer any why

questions:0).

I do hope this helps, if only to let you know you are not alone. I

doubt we two are either. Our brothers are an example of systems

failed, not of our brothers' failures. If he can get set up with a

diagnosis, he may be able to work under supervision. This would be

very good for his self=esteem, and allow him a sense of

independence, and hopefully allow him to secure more meaningful

relationships.

hugs,

scarlett

The problem seems to be Scarlett- is that her brother is not interested- if he is not legally incompetent- it is for him to decide if he desires services- she cannot apply/submit him for anything unless he has been declared incompetent- and she holds the paperwork as his legal guardian.

I believe in the state of Alabama three family members testifying to

incompetence is all it takes, so i would think Georgia would be

similar. A judge, and incompetency hearing, and the number of people

required. I dont know the guy, but i would hope his sister is

attempting to do what is best for him. Regardless, it is not the

norm for someone his age, and he should have someone help him find

out why. Whether he wants to or not, lest he become homeless. Too

many people are homeless and on the streets because no one would

step up and say " but you dont know how to take care of yourself " .

Moms die. And sisters live too far away. I cannot blame this woman

for trying to find a way to prevent what could be a tragedy.

Oh- do not get me wrong- I certainly commend her for trying to do something- it is just not that easy when the person in question wants nothing to do with it.

I'm here in CA too and its not that hard to live with. I just signed my son

up for kindergarten with no problems.

HI Brieanne! Welcome to the group..Thanks for sharing your story..your dog must

be very wise. Be sure to avoid thimerosal at all costs..It is very easy to join

the mercury-autism community but very hard to leave it. Tim

New Member Intro

Hello list,

My name is Brieanne and I am a new member. Here is what brought me

here:

I am 24 and I live in CA with my husband and my cattle dog, Belle.

Belle is the one who really showed me the light when it comes to our

goverment and the big coorporations who have all of the power. One

day when I tried to apply some flea medication to her skin, she ran

and hid, and was mad at me for a couple of days. I googled the

ingredients of the topical, and I was horrified to find out that dogs

were becoming sick and dying from a product that was supposed to be

safe for our pets, and she knew it was bad stuff!!! Now, I don't

vaccinate her anymore, nor do I use any sort of poisons, cleaning

chemicals, or beauty products in our house. We are all being treated

by a Classical Homeopath, and I am just fascinated with the results I

have seen so far!!!

When I realized that I was lied to about the safety of something

like " Advantage, " I wondered what other lies I was being fed. When I

researched the ingredients in vaccines and learned they contribute to

many, if not most chronic dieases, I made a vow to make my family as

healthy as I can, and only support those businesses who truely do

care about our health, and to quit poisoning my family with food full

of hydrogenated fats and horomes/antibiotics. Money talks!!!

I am 27 weeks pregnant, and we have made a decision to not vaccinate

this baby. When I found out I was RH-, of course the doctor wanted to

make me take the RhoGam injection during pregnancy, to prevent

something that has a 1% chance of happening. The chances that I will

receive heavy doses of poison from the injection are 100%. The

chances that my baby will be affected by these poisons-100% Needless

to say, refusing RhoGam was not a hard choice for me to make.

I know we have a long journey ahead of us if we want to continue to

fight for what we believe in, but I also know that being a member of

a list, like this one, can make it a little easier. I will really

need help once my children are old enough to attend school:(

Thank you for approving my membership:)

Brieanne and Belle

EXACTLY. I will send you some RhoGam info I have put together. Smart

choice. The US is the ONLY country that I know of that also gives during

pregnancy. A move to double their money.

Yes, it will help tons

And all states have exemptions of some sort for school.

And California you just say no. Sign the back of the form and refuse.

Period. Very easy
