Discussing Bin Laden and other world events with children

Started this discussion. Last reply by Floor Pie May 5, 2011. 11 Replies 0 Likes

So, what strategies do you adopt? This was an interesting conversation to try and navigate this morning. This on top of our recent conversations about god(s) and where babies come from. We aim for…Continue

Resolutions?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Daria Jan 11, 2011. 24 Replies 0 Likes

The new year is upon us. I know many people eschew the resolution, but I am a huge fan of setting goals. Like, I got massively depressed after I finished school because I was adrift without goals for…Continue

Random thoughts...

It's been awhile since we had a thread where we just posted random thoughts, hasn't it?1. I just met Sockiboo in LA at a conference. Couple of things, her paper was really good and my friend and I…Continue

Smudge started back at school today. As I am teaching 5 days a week this summer, he is going 5 days a week. He had been going 2 days a week, and back when I was trying to finish my dis 3, but this is…Continue

What about some wine infused tea? http://www.redleaftea.com/wine-tea/ That seems like a fun OS related gift. These guys also have an "Immortalitea." We could do some tea and a gas card, maybe?

I vote that we figure out what the best present would be (something more fun than flowers), paypal money to one person who can purchase it and get it to Kiwi or MNM (?) or whomever is willing and able to drop it off. Any idea on…

I love kale. Kale chips are really really delicious. But the line about the squashes that look decorative made me giggle. That is so true. What the hell do you do with those squashes?

mcglory13 replied to Lady Grey's discussion 'Sabine Louise'

Yes, I would like to do something too.

Not going to lie, after rent food is our biggest expenditure. I'm not going to say what the figure is, but it's a lot more than $600. We've not been good at making it a smaller figure and eating the kind of food we like to eat.

mcglory13 replied to SweetJudyB's discussion 'If you're not her, you know her'

I did some of those things. Was that giant mason jar filled with red wine? Then I might identify even more. Luckily I never had to pump in a stall. That's gross.

mcglory13 replied to DreamCatcher's discussion 'Talking To The Doctor (Again!) Help!'

Hmm... are you seeing a shrink? I would imagine a letter from a shrink explaining your history and covering your current state of mental health would be a lot easier than trying to explain it yourself. It wouldn't be emotionally loaded and it…

mcglory13 replied to Herasmus B. Dragon's discussion 'Sneaking around'

The food thing is frustrating on either end. We've had several doctors take note that Smudge is very skinny for his age. In fact, we dealt with a fucking failure to thrive diagnosis as a baby that then involved a lot of horrible tests to rule…

mcglory13 replied to mightyninjamom's discussion 'Is there a Hallmark card for this?'

Aww, thanks. I am glad we're friends too. :) Time is probably a good thing. Maybe I'll feel differently in 6 years. Right now I'm hurt and feeling small and petty and thus not convinced a terminal disease would change my mind. :P

mcglory13 replied to mightyninjamom's discussion 'Is there a Hallmark card for this?'

Thanks for the update! I'm glad it turned out so well. Not to threadjack, but I've been thinking a lot about long term friendships lately. It became clear recently that a dear friend of mine for over a decade was ending our friendship. It…

mcglory13 commented on rommie's blog post 'Finding healing'

I agree with what they said. I was diagnosed with PTSD after Smudge's traumatic birth and our time in the NICU. It really did help to talk to someone. I did a group thing for "healing your traumatic birth" and talked to that therapist…

mcglory13 replied to Lady Grey's discussion 'Finally!'

My spouse got tired of the sunlight coming through the window in the office (the little half circle above the big window) and so one day while I was at work he nailed up a towel. Like, an old, discolored towel. Visitors aren't allowed in that…

Would need a lot more info on what you want it to do and how you will be using it. :)

mcglory13 replied to Daddy Geek Boy's discussion 'Gender'

Heh, I was running out the door so I probably wasn't clear. I mean, maybe you've assumed she likes that stuff because her big brother does, when really she just likes it. :)

mcglory13 replied to Daddy Geek Boy's discussion 'Gender'

I wonder if that's misattribution, MNM? After all, my sisters thought I was very cool when they were younger (oh how wrong they were!) but we were obviously interested in very different things.

I appreciate the concern and good intentions. I got what you were trying to say in the discussion and I tried to support you. But it's really not possible to fully empathize when I'm so raw from being in the midst of all this shit with The Boy and his school. I can't remember the last time I cried so much. I'm confused and extremely oversensitive right now. And I'm about done being the bigger person, except I have to keep being the bigger person or my son is screwed. No energy left for Internet misunderstandings. None.

You wrote some things that I didn't really need to read this particular week, but this isn't about you. I know you better and beyond that one OS discussion, and I realize you're in the midst of your own highly stressful situation right now, too. No hard feelings toward you personally. I hope things get better for both of us soon.

Maybe I just didn't catch it when I was reading it? I was all set to share it with people I know, but now I worry I might offend someone with it.... hrm..
