INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chaos18]

Me too. I started at 5:15. I should work about twelve, do chores, go to Kenpo as it is Tuesday, and go home to sleep a little.

Sounds like another busy day for you.

I would think that dipping them in boiling water would remove the protective bloom and partially start to cook the outer layer of the egg.

If I remember correctly, it makes a later inside so they last several months.

I have also heard of covering them with mineral oil to store.

Too soon to say.
Gotta find gold earring hoops for my DD. Her piercings have been a nonstop struggle since December. Now one of her lobes has grown over the earring back. I'm not looking forward to that later. DD is 7 and a huge weenie about things that hurt or MIGHT hurt. She'll scream and cry if I just mention brushing her tangled hair.

Anyway, I'm picking up gold hoops and oragel, so hopefully we can get this resolved.

Just be careful with loops as kids play rough and if it catches on something it can rip the lobe. It happened to my step sister.

I'm trying to find something like these.

Interesting.

There have been lots of "tests" conducted before to find the best way to store them the longest. How long are you trying to store them for?

Quote: DW & I both graduated from the public school system here in MD; supposedly one of the best in the nation in the 60's. Disabilities weren't understood then as well as now. As a result, she was deemed "retarded" (PC didn't exist then), and had to repeat 4th grade. She couldn't spell for crap; still can't. Turns out she wasn't retarded at all; she's dyslectic. Come to think about it, perhaps she was "mentally challenged" after all; she married me a month out of high school!

I'm a bit dyslexic, too... or lysdexic as I joke. LOL

Disabilities, still aren't fully understood, and it can be really hard to get services a kid need and it's a huge fight. There's not enough public funding available, and honestly, it costs me like 1000 a year to homeschool my two kids, or less. That includes all materials for the year, our monthly subscriptions to things like ABCmouse for my preschooler/toddler and field trips with the co-op.

They say it costs over 10k per student, in the public school system, and up to 150,000-250,000 for a special needs student.

Most poor schools cannot afford to provide the type of services needed, and big schools who can get the funding, don't want to deal with it because there's too many other students to worry about.

One of my nephews went to a school for kids who needed a different environment, and he thrived. But it was ALL kids like him who struggled in mainstream classrooms and he's in college now.

Where we used to live, in a big city TWO schools like that, in the entire state. My sister in law luckily, lived near one.

What's funny, is so many of these kids, who struggle in school, can go on to have huge successful careers.

My grandpa has ADD and had dyslexia, he struggled in school too - but he lived a nice, full life, and has a lot of interests in electronics, and cars. He had a career as a welder, and it made decent money until he retired.

These days, he mostly just hangs around fixing old cars. LOL

I'm not "lysdexic," but I have always felt a great deal of admiration for those who have learning disabilities and still persevere.
