@Chaos18 . @ChickenCanoe Are you to have a jumper wire on the receptacle?

Are you referring to the copper connection on the side of the duplex receptacle between the 2 outlets that can be snapped off to isolate the two?
If you want power isolated between the two then you should do that.
Otherwise no jumper wires.

I jumped over about 30 pages so if you explained it, I missed it.

Watch it carefully. If her coloring changes, take her in right away to rule out pneumonia. Unless there's a bacteria causing a problem, there's nothing they can do but treat symptoms, which is cough syrup, tea/honey, etc. A numbing spray on her throat to help keep her from coughing non-stop. All of which can be bought over the counter.

My 24 weeker has bad lungs, and the only thing we have to watch for, is something that requires antibiotics, or oxygen. Coughs, sadly, you can't do much for them if they are viral but let them run their course.

Unless she gets super lethargic, or your mom gut says you HAVE to take her in... if she's scared of doctors, i'd probably let her rest and see if she's better by tomorrow.

I don't usually rush my kids into the doctor, unless I absolutely have too though, as there's usually not much they can do for most illnesses but let them run their course.

If she has strep throat, (which usually is accompanied by a high fever) you'll want to take her in to get meds, too.

She's had this cough going on 4 days now, been using her inhalers but they don't seem to be helping. My immediate thought when she started throwing up was strep as that's her normal strep response (throw up), but no fever and she says her throat doesn't hurt. Maybe she's throwing up from coughing so much and so hard. I told her if it's no better by tomorrow that we are probably going to doctor.

could it be whooping cough?

I was (am!) too. But knowing it was just going to be a tongue depressor and thermometer made it okay.
I did, but it's been a year. I can't remember if I liked that recipe or another better.
The other was something like a can of sweet milk, a ton of cane sugar, vanilla, heavy cream, and the coffee is not brewed. It is ground coffee, soaked in cold water overnight.

She developed a fear of doctors after my mom (her Mawmaw) died. I can't say anything to make her feel better about doctors, I have tried everything!

Ohhhhh....I love cold brew! I like to keep a mason jar of cold brew in my fridge for my iced coffees.

Isn't that more common in younger kids? I did read about that online, but she's 9 and it didn't seem likely.

it can be in any age though it is more common in small kids cause they share EVERYTHING
does she sound like a seal barking?

I tried k12 when my son was in Kinder, and I wasn't a fan.. it was great for kids who could just breeze through work, but for kids who struggle, it was too hard for him to keep up with, and they weren't super flexible when it came to special needs.

We use a combination of workbooks, youtube, and the internet, along with supplemental reading and co-op classes for his education.

My daughter has a combination of leapfrog kindergarten kit set, and some supplemental workbooks. I like having a flexible program, because then, if she wants to say... hatch eggs for her science project, we can do basic math, science, reading, and language arts along with the "history" of whatever it is she's learning... to kind of round it out for a bit. It makes it so much fun to learn, that I like learning with her, too, so it's not as tedious.

We do flash cards for math and reading/sight words too. 

I'm probably biased against public schools, because of my experience with them as a special "needs" kid.

I'm autistic, and am pretty much 100% self taught, I was in special ed, classes growing up and never did regular school work, I was never mainstreamed, and they'd graduate me from one grade to the next, without ever testing or teaching me. I got my GED and put myself into college, as an adult. They didn't think I would be able to live a functional life when I was a kid, so they didn't bother. I may not have "proved" I was learning to them, but I learned alot more than they thought. Given the way public schools cater to the middle kid, I'm more interested in going at the pace of my child and making learning fun.

My daughter wants to be a vet when she grows up, so her education is going to be a lot more intensive, so she can qualify for those programs. My son... well, he's asked if he'd get free food if he chose to work at McDonalds... and has no interest in college... so my goal for him is more along the lines of a GED, maybe his driver license... and some kind of trade skills that can provide enough of an income and health insurance he'll survive. He's special needs. (Not autism.) but his type of special needs may or may not allow him to make it with out support... so I just want him to have the basics, so if he needs support, he can still have a life with enough skills, that if he is 100% independent, he'll make it on his own.

I didn't like it either they we're constaly pushing for us to come in weekly when they said we don't have to some in unless we wanted but this year we decided to go in two days a week but now everything is through the alph program and so far I really like it. There are people in the room to help you can you ask friends for help, and if you decided you don't need or want to come in they are really flexible to work with. I don't know what all states or anything alpha is avaible in though.

Morning all.

My daughter has been up half the night throwing up. :-( poor thing... Looks like we will be staying home from school and work today!

Aww, I hope she feels better today and the two of you get some rest.

My son was up half the night....sneaking out of his room to play video games. Don't know what I'm going to do with this kid. He's driving us crazy!

This do wonders on the computer cables!
You pay for the Internet - stop to pay
You pay for its "smart" phone and its Internet package - stop to pay
You are paying for its clothing - no more brands!
Don't be so hopless! You press on his sensetive points until he understands that Commitments(=school, home chores, being a nice person) comes befor all the Privilege!!
You by low have to provide him, housing, food, clothing and you need to behave with him in a certain way. You need to remmber that preventing him access to the Internet is not child abuse!

ACTIVATE YOUR AUTORITY!

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.
