Guest guest Posted December 15, 1999 Report Share Posted December 15, 1999 Personally I prefer capital letters since I have web tv and have to read the newsletter from the tv screen........I think we all know that it doesn't mean shouting in this case.......We all have much bigger problems going on in our lives than worrying about the case of the letters someone is using.........so let's move on please.........

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Hi Liz, I'm leaving for Colorado on Monday and will be gone for a week and a half. I got some great ideas from the listers so I can stick with LL (which I wouldn't want to miss a day!) And...thanks for the advice. Tomorrow morning I will try slowing things down and concentrating on each movement. Bye for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 , I also lost my sister the same way and it wasn't easy. I almost had a breakdown over it.. It is so so hard. If you ever need to talk and want to write to me, feel free to do so. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2000 Report Share Posted September 3, 2000 Gail, am I correct in remembering that you live in Elmira NY? There is an identical situation near us in Ohio- in n, a town aabout an hour away. Kids have been getting sick (leukemia, other cancers) for years. Turns out the Army Corps of Engineers left all kinds of toxic waste in landfills right there where they built the high school. They Army has been dragging its feet to do the clean up and build new schools elsewhere. It's been a nightmare. We'll keep your family extra in prayer. I have lost track of all whose kids have been having medical procedures- (sorry) but glad that and Tommy are both on the mend. Sherrie, I'd be crying about this too! It's just got to be a shock on a deep level that our children are still faced with all of the !@!!* & $^ " normal " trappings of their bodies- and we all know how well " normal " kids cope with all of these physical changes. It doesn't seem fair that this part doesn't get delayed. Here's hoping that at least doesn't have painful cramps and that she cooperates with the extra hygiene care. Thank God that baby wipes are so easily used to help with *that* now! (We keep tubs of wipes in every bathroom and a packet in the car at all times- it's amazing just how helpful they can be for everything!) Kara, so sorry to hear about your dog. Glad your vet was so caring. (Ours has sent condolence cards when we had two different cats put to sleep. ) Those kinds of things mean a lot. Our 16 y/o sweet, sweet chocolate point Siamese cat is starting to fail and I feel bad that I am more frustrated with him that sympathetic. More messes to clean up, more smells in the house : ( Donna, I am sure by the end of this week you will be sleeping soundly again, but in the meantime you will probably be sweating bullets until you see Maddie getting into her new routine at school. Sounds like they have everything covered in spades (I know, except the transport). This place sounds pretty terrific! You have certainly done a terrific job of advocating for Maddie's uniques needs. NONE of us can be too paranoid about these transportation issues. A little girl with DS fell asleep on her ride home from school in the bus on Friday (in Columbus, which transports 30-35,000 students every day) and the bus driver didn't notice her until she had the bus back in the garage and was ready to lock up for the 3 day weekend. It was 86 degrees outside, so she was really overheated. The bus driver took the child home without even an apology. The little girl is fine, but on the news last night they said the mom has been hysterical every since. She said she just can't stop thinking that her little girl could have died. The scary thing is that when the parents called transportation in panic, they only got machines. (The irony is that the director of transportaion USED to be the district Superintendent. He was interviewed recently saying how nice it was to " just " have this job in charge of transportation and how much better he was sleeping at night. I'll bet he won't be sleeping well now!) I'll write later about PB's " interesting " first few days at school. I wish it were October and all of the transitions were over with. Hope you all have one last glorious day of summer vacation.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2000 Report Share Posted November 23, 2000 We were really at a standstill with tacts last summer. We started to mix up the ways we present and try not to present the same way more than once or twice. We had success by giving my son a choice of which tacts he wants to do and mixing up the ways to present when he is given a choice. For instance, hold two pics up, ask which one do you want to do? he chooses and then we ask What is it? Also, made of game of putting them on a board with velcro and hiding behind it, acted goofy to get anticipation, and he would pull the board over to see what was on it. Also, took a box/cube/block and velcroed tacts photos to all 6 sides. These were used as a game, 1) throw up in the air, he tacts the one it lands on 2) give the choice again by asking which on he wants to do 3) he tacts and then gets to pull it off and " give " . If your child has the fine motor skills to stack blocks you could also use it during this activity. (Mine doesn't) In general, we have discovered that the more interactive we can make it and/or if he has a choice (thus control) the more successful it is. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Jackie, I wouldn't say it is " Bad " , we are working in a grey area, so I'm only going on what I know of colostrum (which is little, I must admit). My point was that IF the beneficial components of colostrom are proteins or peptides, then the protease enzymes may effect them. I have not yet determined if these components are protein in nature, so just a " heads-up " for now. Devin > In a message dated 10/22/2001 4:10:23 PM Pacific Daylight Time, > @y... writes: > > > > .

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Anyone have a rule of thumb as to how much Vit E is needed to act as a preservative in oils infused with herbs? I just finished a batch of calendula oil, but have no idea how much E it needs to protect it? -------------------------------- Hi, Vitamin E is an antioxidant, not a preservative in the strict sense of the word. You need 1% of your total volume. Be aware that the only natural vitamin E is d'alpha tocopherol and it's VERY expensive so you probably wouldn't want to exceed this percentage.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Kem: For a lower fat/less oil solution, another way to fix those yummy roasted vegetables is to buy a " butter flavored spray " , put your vegies on a skewer or in a BBQ pan (one with holes in the bottom so flames can get through) and sprinkle with garlic powder. Then while you are BBQ'ing your meat, the vegies roast wonderfully and the spray holds the garlic powder (or any other flavoring I.e. italian seasoning, or onion soup mixture, etc. )onto the vegetables for added flavor and wow! Less fat and great roasted vegies! Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 That is a question that always has baffled my mind. How in the hell did they make it with out sugar? So is it not as old as we think? I tried to use real apple juice once and it killed the culture. It was from concentrate. Tell me if you find anything!

As I am not very happy about using refined sugar so I wonder this: How did they make kombucha in the old days before white sugar was invented? I have experimented with honey but indeed, the white sugar one is more powerful. Any ideas there?
