Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Just found out my x daughter in law got her test back she has hep c SIGH but the way she explained it she is + and _ so she is seeing a spec. today it may be she did not become chronic. I tried to tell her not to get those tattoos, her husband does them and I think he cleans his needles in just alcohol. Is that all it takes to clean them!!??

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Hi Carol SFIC is the name of the actual manufacturer of the M & P and they are in California. They have a big minimum order though. But there are distributors that sell it at a higher price of course than buying it from SFIC direct. I usually get mine from Soapberry Lane in Virginia. WSP is short for Wholesale Supplies Plus and they are in Ohio, if I remember correctly. I don't know who makes their M & P but it's pretty good. It's also cheaper but I just find that I like SFIC's more. But it's a matter of personal preference, you know?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 Hi Carol Yes, I am busy...sometimes way too busy. And this too shall pass? Actually I hope not...as it is great that they keep buying my products. I let lye/water mixture cool; melt oils and let them cool,usually to about 100-110 degrees then mix (stick blend)them together, scent/color. I use the wooden log molds as per directions I sent you, lines with freezer paper.(I have 6 of them).I let them sit in their towels(to gel) for 24 hours then cut, with a great cutter my sister made me, takes about 4 minutes to cut the log which I get 24 bars. I cure them 4 weeks...no less than that, and then carve the sharp edges, with a carrot peeler, wrap, label and price. I did try the crockpot method once but didn't care for how rough they looked. Not really sure if I did something wrong, but haven't tried it again since. It is a bit tireing and mind boggling to be almost 2 months ahead of myself. I have a great 12 shelf curing rack in the spare room for curing. It is a closet space saver, floor to ceiling that I added extra shelves to. This week I had to add a folding table as I have run out of shelf space. Also remember that I do not have any children (not entirely by choice but the path that has been given to me to follow at this time)which gives me more spare time than the average Mom/family. I also have a ton of candy molds that I use for each holiday. They are very time consuming, but sell well. Hope this information helps you. Kim C > Wow, Kim. You sure are busy! How do you do your CP?

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Trisha is doing pretty good. She is using more and more signs and is also trying to say more words, she still won't use the new words other than to repeat what she hears but that is a start. She has begun to add the T sound to the end of word so now instead of saying whaaaaaaa for " what " she says whaT with alot of emphasis on the T. The signing time videos we got are a great help, not only for Trisha and me but for my neices and nephew, they are learning to sign so that they can communicate with Trisha. The school is also purchasing the videos so that the kids in her class (and aide) can learn to communicate with Trisha as well. We are using pecs as well but I find the signs are faster since we don't always have a pic available to us so it's a combo of verbal, sign and pecs. My sister is doing well, they are ready to make her permanent legs now, she is able to walk on the temp legs with a walker and she can walk to the bathroom by holding to the walls without the walker now. Her left leg is still not healing like the docs want it to, but they are going to give it more time since the infection in it seems to have cleared up. We have an IEP meeting coming up, it was cancelled this past week due to snow. While we are not where we need to be at school we are making progress slowly but surely. I'm working on the bigger issues now and then will work on the smaller issues later. She should be going to the middle school next year but since they didn't start the transition in time, she will remain in the elem. school next year with transitioning to start in Sept. that will give Trisha time to get used to seeing the middle school and the teachers in the middle school time to get to know Trisha. Any suggestions on transitioning to the middle school are needed and welcomed. :-) Carol April is Autism Awareness Month Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Hi Carol, I was wondering about your sister too. Always forgot to ask. Glad that she is doing ok. I hope the permanent leg will give her more mobility. I would hope the school can find an aide for Trisha that knows sign. Regular visits to the middle school would help Trisha feel more comfortable. I would also have her meet all the staff a few times. I wish you luck in your IEP meeting. Charlyne Mom to Zeb 10 DS/OCD ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Thank you, we've had to reschedule the IEP again, so hopefully we will get it scheduled soon. Trisha went to weekend camp this weekend and came back with what looks like fingernail scratches. She pointed them out to me and signed hurt and then signed help. The staff had already left by the time she got home so I will have to wait and talk to them tomorrow and find out what happened. She also had a scratch on her bottom lip. She may have fallen but the little cuts on her arm looks like fingernails dug into the skin. There are 4 marks straight in a line. It's not a major deal, just would like to know how she got the scrapes. If there was a skirmish of any kind then I just want to make sure that the staff be more alert. Kids will act out from time to time, gee if they didn't they wouldn't be kids. lol Carol April is Autism Awareness Month Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Thanks for the up-date Carol! Sounds like Trisha is making some good gains, huh? That's great! I hope the transition to middle school goes well. I'm happy to hear your sister is doing well. It must be SOOOOOO hard. Prayers that her leg heals and she can master the use of the new legs. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Gail :-) << Trisha is doing pretty good.

This is wonderful about the school. I think it would be great for all elementary children to learn sign. It is almost a universal language. I don't sign with Rochelle as much but last night she signed " stop " and said it when she was watching a video that was singing " Stop, Look and Listen " . She looked right at me too! My little brag. Do you know how large Trisha's sign vocabulary is? Just curious? Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Way to go Rochelle! Trisha has about a 30-40 sign vocabulary. Although she only uses about 10 on a regular basis the others she uses if you sign first. But that is a big improvement for her, also now that the teacher has taken a beginning sign course they are using more signs with her, so she has begun to use the signs more herself. I've been telling the school for years now that if they would learn to sign then Trisha would do more signing, and this year the teacher decided to take a sign class and is amazed at the difference in communicating with Trisha, now she is encouraging the other students to sign as well. Her teacher has also been working on math with Trisha, and one of the things they are doing is going to the store and letting the kids pick out a small item and then pay for it, well tonight we were at the store and I was paying for our dinner and Miss Trisha holds her hand out waiting for me to give her the money, so I did and she paid for supper. lol Carol April is Autism Awareness Month Trishasmom She isn't typical, She's Trisha!

Isn't sign language so expressive. I just love it! It's just like any language if you don't use it you will lose it. Great that the teacher is on board, I bet you see an increase of sign language. ]When we had Rochelle evaluated by Psychologist he mentioned we should use sign at home. That it was important for my husband, son and I to use it in front of Rochelle. Of course, hubby tried in the beginning but it just wasn't working out. My son refused to sign because he knew it would help his sister. sigh The Psychologist was from Gaulledet. I really liked him. This is why we went to PECS. The school was much more compliant. But sign is so much quicker. >>>Her teacher has also been working on math with Trisha, and one of the things they are doing is going to the store and letting the kids pick out a small item and then pay for it, well tonight we were at the store and I was paying for our dinner and Miss Trisha holds her hand out waiting for me to give her the money, so I did and she paid for supper. lol>>> It is wonderful that the goals at school are crossing over to home.
