I am SO sorry for all your frustration! My oldest, Ben, will be 20 in April. He's autistic w/ multiple sensory issues, low verbal skills etc. It's a long haul for sure. Are there any schools around that have a program that deals w/ autism spectrum disorders? That would be worth looking...

Many people in school to be nurses these days are doing it as a 2nd career, so you'd have company, I'm sure. I've been an RN since 1982, my entire working career. Never even considered it until I was a sr. in high school. I always thought law, because my father is an atty. Then I thought I'd...

Agree w/ Kathryn on them being apples and oranges. They are completely different from Cathe but just as great in a different way. I'm on a Cathe hiatus this month and doing a TLT/firm 30 day rotation that Tracie developed. Even w/ modifying, I found myself very sore after Cathe strength and...

Well, if you'd like a diversion from the boys, work, and rehab, check out http://www.armorytrack.com/. Have fun! ;-) Valerie

Cathe, I know you ran track in high school and wonder if you ever ran indoor at the Armory in NYC? My daughter is a freshman in high school and runs x/c, indoor and outdoor. We spend hrs. on end at the armory and wonder if you did 'back in the day'? Valerie

I haven't seen more than roots of my natural hair color since . . . about 1978 and here's my experience. I usually (80%) of the time have it done professionally. Every few yrs., I start thinking of other things I could spend that money on and start to color my own. It's sometimes ok, but...

What a scary thing to have happen. Thank God you're alright. Valerie

since Cathe posted here? :-( Valerie

>Anybody? > > >Bueller? OMG! I LOVE that movie! Your post made my day. :) Valerie

Hi Thea I just started online so don't have any insight for you. I seem to recall someone saying they took 4 activity points for Cathe time. HTH Valerie

I've had my share of freakish neighbors and the people next door now are no exception. I couldn't bear living in a development (again) where everyone seems to think they know everyone's business. (This was my experience anyway). My neighbors know if I see fire shooting out of their house or...

Dear Janice Please know I'm praying for you and your family. (((HUGS))) Valerie

The last 3 moves have had a recurring theme: weirdo next door, good people across the street. One guy we took to calling "norman Bates" because that's who he reminded us of. The next move, we got a guy who was separated from his wife. He had custody of the 2 daughters. Soon, she moved back...

RE: I thought breastfeeding and pumping would be easier... One thing that gets very little press in breastfeeding lit. is growth spurts. Babies get them at around 3 wks. 5 wks., and then 3 and 5 mos. (roughly). Looks like this: the marathon nsg. where nothing works but breastfeeding. They...

Happy Birthday! Valerie :-)

I have friends who LOVE this show. I've watched it a few times, have found it interesting, but can see how it could be tough to care about these people. (And I haven't seen the new episodes you're talking about). There isn't much TV I'm really hooked on these days. That's probably good...

great news! Valerie

thanks Cathy. you're definitely on the right track. Best to your cousin. Valerie

Remember the serenity prayer? I agree that, however well meaning your intentions, this isn't your battle. This woman is an adult, able to make her own decisions. As to another doc not wanting to take on the liability at this point, there's always the option of showing up in the ER of a...

I just checked out Tracie's site and here's the latest: "We are filming the videos inside of V in front of one of the beautiful windows that overlooks Charleston Harbor and the SC Aquarium. For those of you that have visited us, it will be in the area that you look at as you go up the two...
