Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[Hollowoakfarm]

This morning I candled the Ameraucana eggs Kraftyladies sent me. Seventeen lovely eggs made it through the careful handling of our USPS...and every single one is developing! Wow! Super birds! I will be positive and assume they will all make it to lockdown and hatch!

On today's hatch, there are three chicks out now, and more pipped. Donna's cuckoo marans and Laura's barnevelders! This is going to be a spring and summer filled with beautiful birds!

I am so happy for you that you got some resolve today. I hope the teacher can follow through for you. Does your school have an IEP set up for him? Or what I think is called (or at least in Vermont where I grew up) a 504? Where the teacher, guidance counselor, principal, a special educator or TA, and yourself get together and talk about how to really help and improve the situation. It would be a great relief to you to know exactly what is expected from the school, your son an yourself. Everyone on the same page

That's how I feel right now!!!!!!! and the rest~

Our realtor just called me to let me know that they let a few couples look at the house before market as it doesn't officially go on until Monday and one couple have offered above asking and are paying our closing costs they want the house so badly!!!!!

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!!!!!

The craziness and hard work has paid off!
Now I can just be at the farm and focus on art and chickens and turkeys!!!!!

I MAY even be able to participate in the backward swap now. I wasn't going to because I didn't want to put up any woodworking offers when I still owe some from previous! So if I can bust them out and get them finished I'll be offering wood goods and eggs for the easter backward swap!!!!!

SOOOOOO relieved! Being a landlord an hour away does not suit us!

He has an IEP, which is a step up from a 504(?), as it was explained to me. My brother-in-law told me that the 504 was more effective so I asked about it. My son's therapist about had a conniption. I am going with 504 because it sounds right. We have an annual meeting to discuss his needs. I also have the right to demand an additional planning meeting should I deem it necessary. He got his first IEP at three, so I did a lot of study at that time about what it meant. Anyway, yes he does

ETA: thank you! My manners are shot today

Okay, let me help clarify. Section 504 was created to protect all students with disabilities that were not severe enough to warrant being covered under the "Special Education" unbrella. Both are equally effectiveand do similar things--protecting a child's needs. If a student can be successful in the classroom with little help in accommodations (minor assistance) the child is covered under 504. Students are placed under the IEP Special Education umbrella if their disability (whether it is health or learning) causes them to need real changes to their learning and work. For example: a dyslexic student may just need the opportunity to have some things read to him--this is 504. Another student's dyslexia may be so severe that he cannot read anything near grade level. This would fall under the IEP Special Education umbrella because he will need materials on his level, not just read to him here and there. This becomes a modification of his work, and not a simple accommodation to what all other kids are doing.

If the IEP in place is working for your child, leave it. If changes need to be made or his needs are not being met under that IEP then by law you can request that changes be made to fit the needs of your child. Both of those plans protect kids with health, physical, mental, and learning disabilities.

What is the backward swap and where do I find it?

 

[madamwlf]

Event: Easter Reverse Swap
When: March 30, 2013
Time: 5pm to 11pm EST
Participants: Members in good standing with the Swap Thread.
Rules: All members of the Swap thread are allowed to participate. In order to offer Spring or later eggs, you must be on the completely unrestricted list. Walli can post a list of all participants that are unrestricted. If you wish to be a main offerer please PM me and put Easter Swap in the subject line. Sign ups will end on March 23, 2013. This will not be a free for all. Names of individuals who signed up to offer will be drawn at random. If you are not on when your name is drawn then you will be skipped. If we have time at the end we will pick someone at random to put an offer up. Any good standing participant of the swap can try to claim an offer. There will be a 5 minute time limit for participants to put their offers up. Once the time is up we will move on to the next offer while the offerer is considering offers. You do not have to take any offers if there is nothing that appeals to you.

How It Works: Not many of you know how a Reverse Swap works so hopefully this will help:

CPL offers 12+ Jubilee Orpington Chicks

The object is for other participants to offer something to CPL as a trade for those beautiful chicks.

COF offers 6 goslings

crfarm offers 24+ Marans chicks

madamwlf offers 12+ Black Barthuhner chicks

Now CPL can decline all offers but instead she accepts madamwlf's offer Barthuhner chicks. If you have any questions please ask. This is a immensely fun swap and it can get crazy!!!
