My daughter is up and not vomiting so that's an improvement. However, she has am awful barking cough. :/ debating a trip to Doctor, but hate to go if they are just going to tell me it's something viral. She is terrified of doctors.

:/ croupy cough, try boiling a pot of water in the house too.

Here's my 2 chicks! The one with the open navel has scabbed over but there is a piece of shell stuck to it. I guess I will just leave it there for now though, cause I don't want it to start bleeding again. They are hanging out in the brooder having snacks and water with vitamins. Tomorrow they will go to the hens.

Awesome!!! congrats!!

And now in a way that I WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!

she is cranky bad mood and coffee isnt helping

Hi and bye for a while y'all I wont spread good cheer this morning so off to make a gallon of java and see if it helps my lovely disposition.

And now in a way that I WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUVARE SAYING!

ummmm NO

What kind of thermometer/hygrometer do you guys use? Is there one that is really accurate without having to check it? I don't think I'm good at stuff like that. Lol

Good afternoon everyone!

No quotes came through - this thread has gotten interesting today.

I'm sorry Sally is having a bad day - I hope it gets better!!

Congrats on the hatched chicks! They are adorable!

I loved the Duck photos a long way back.

My daughter isn't afraid of doctors, she is afraid of lab coats. All of her UCLA doctors know to remove their lab coats before they come into her room. The med students don't always. So, she will be all worked up while they are in the room, IF they try to touch her. But as soon as they leave, she is ok. She goes to a LOT of specialists, but her life is better because of them. For myself, I don't really mind doctors, but I don't go unless I have to.

School district - is it perfect - No, but I think it's the best thing for my daughter. 99% of her socialization is at school. With her special needs, she doesn't get invited to parties, or have any friends that come play. She gets speech and occupational therapy there. She is in adaptive PE, and I know she gets more exercise there, than I can ever get her to do. We are able to set her goals each school year and they work toward those goals. Each child in the classroom has their own goals. They have almost a 1 x 1 adult to student ratio, so they are able to focus on each child.

Setting eggs - I didn't think I was going to set any more, but since my silkies are so hard to sex - they have had roosters in the mix longer than the other chickens have. We found our resident silkie brooder sitting on a dozen eggs. She was there for at least 3 days - I didn't want to try to eat the eggs, so I put them into a 'bator. We'll see what happens.

In my area our rich towns are 'donor' towns to the less fortunate towns, most of the schools around here are pretty average as far as education, unless you want to pay for private school

good lesson for you son

We live in a somewhat below average school district. I wouldn't subject my kids to that. I let my kids select the high school they wanted to go to.
I footed the bill for Catholic school through grade school and high school. That, on top of paying my taxes to fund our subpar school district.
Grade school wasn't too bad because there was a family rate regardless of how many kids. Non-Catholic families had to pay much more and for each child.
Yet there were black families that would drive great distances and pay the price so their kids could have a quality education their home districts didn't afford.
Tougher yet was when both kids were in high school.
Not to mention that we had to drive them to the other side of town that was nearly an hour each way.
The grade school was pretty good but weak in math and science. English and art ed was excellent.
Even though it broke me, I haven't regretted spending the 60k+ for those two educations. With books and other things it was much more.
Other years were easier but both of them cost about $600 for books freshman year.
Good thing I had a job at the time.
My daughter graduated from Nerinx Hall High, a Sisters of Loretto school established in 1924. She's a very headstrong girl that doesn't take crap off of anybody.
Their philosophy is "grounded in the belief that educated, empowered and caring young women are vital to today's world and the future. In the four years a girl spends at Nerinx Hall there are three main priorities: a woman must know herself and her world, diversity enriches while trust empowers, and all people are called to action. "
Some of her classmates were recognized by the UN in 2007 for designing an inexpensive device from indigenous materials to filter E. coli for villages in southern Mexico and was capable of transporting many more gallons of water that has been adopted around the tropics. The all girl InvenTeam returned to Mexico, tested their prototype and improved the invention.

My son graduated from St. Louis University High - a Jesuit school founded in 1818. It's the oldest secondary educational institution in the U.S. west of the Mississippi River, and one of the largest private high schools in Missouri. They quit ranking schools the year my son started there but the year before, SLUH was the #1 school academically in the US with enrollment over 200.
Their philosophy is to prepare boys who want to become men for others. They develop a lifelong devotion to learning and making good moral choices.
I graduated from Christian Brothers College (a boys only, private, catholic, military institute) which was SLUH's biggest competitor in sports and athletics.
However, I was blown away by SLUH. From even before the start of school they did everything to enable the success of the students.
There was a 2 week camp where the incoming freshmen would meet each other and play sports and games under the supervision of upper classmen. What that accomplishes is that they can hit the ground running because they already know their classmates. - Does anyone remember their first day of high school?
The first year, each student is assigned an upper class mentor they can go to for any problems they are having.
This may sound strange but each student is required to learn to juggle their first quarter and before moving on they must perform a series of tricks while juggling.
I thought that from the start they could earn money entertaining on the street but it does help with hand eye coordination.
They don't have their semester break when other schools do. Most schools have first semester exams before Christmas. They have exams after Christmas break so they have the entire Christmas break to study for exams. They have the semester break in the middle of January when my son and I would take a ski trip to wherever we could find cheap air fare.
They must spend the first quarter of second senior semester doing social work - no academics. They pick a charity to work at for those 2.5 months.
They teach 4 year programs in Chinese, French, Greek, Latin, Russian and Spanish. My son chose Chinese.
I remember something my son said when I asked him why he made a B grade in Astro Physics when his sister got an A in Astronomy.
He said, "Astronomy is about what is up there. Astro Physics is about how and why it is up there."

Apparently, the Navy can't teach life skills. They even put my husband in charge. He can't fold a flag either. How does one manage that?!

Despite the way things are for me, I will not trash my husband, so I will leave it at that.

He certainly wasn't in a unit like mine.
It was stract to the nth degree.
